usual emotion

The film I saw on CCTV6 yesterday was not evaluated from many professional perspectives such as the film's director, screenwriter, editing, and photography. Judging from this theme, I hope Chinese directors can create more films like this. Don't always talk about earthquakes and disasters!
We've had enough!

A number of films have been made on the subject of the Tangshan earthquake. How many films will we make for the Wenchuan earthquake? How many more pictures do we have to take for the Yushu debris flow?

But for those living people who have experienced pain, who can experience, pay attention to, and dig out the pain in their hearts? Let's do something real!

It is still necessary to see this film on CCTV6, and I also hope that filmmakers in our country will dig more into people's inner feelings and inner thoughts, and don't pay too much attention to those flashy touches!

Reign Over Me quotes

  • [Charlie is meeting Angela for the first time. Angela goes off to get a cup of coffee]

    Charlie Fineman: Are you kidding me? She's a baby.

    Alan Johnson: Listen, you're right, she's young. But, she's-she's good. She's got a lot of experience with *loss* and grief counseling. Just give her a...

    Charlie Fineman: [interrupting] She's got nice tits, that's not good.

    Alan Johnson: Since when?

    Charlie Fineman: [pause] Good point.

    Alan Johnson: Listen. Look, we'll just do the meet-and-greet, you'll see what you think and if you like her, we'll just... we'll go from there.

    Charlie Fineman: Am I wrong about her tits, though?

    Alan Johnson: No, you're right. They're wonderful.

    Angela Oakhurst: So what are you guys talking about? What's so wonderful?

    [silence from Charlie and Alan]

  • Alan Johnson: You know, my wife and I, we tried to call him so many times. Hadn't seen him in years, and I erad about what happened in the paper, and I was just... I was just heartbroken for him. For them.

    Ginger Timpleman: He just shut down. Quit work. He stopped wanting to talk about her. Then he acted like he didn't remember them. Then he pretended he didn't remember us.

    Alan Johnson: Yeah.

    Ginger Timpleman: All my husband and I want to do is see him. And that crazy landlady and his business manager, Sugarman, both conspire to keep us away.

    Alan Johnson: Sugarman?

    Ginger Timpleman: Yeah, I don't care for him. Who knows what that little shyster's taking from Charlie.

    Alan Johnson: What is there to take?

    Ginger Timpleman: Between the government payout and the insurance policy, Charlie has enough to take care of himself, put it that way. My husband retired young. He was a cop. We were young, young to be grandparents. I was gonna do nothing but travel and spoil my granddaughters. Then those monsters flew over here from across the world, and rearranged my dance card.
