Very sad

In a way, this movie is a very boring family movie. I've always felt that Americans are sometimes a bit pretentious, especially when it comes to family and family. People, in American culture, are sacred and inviolable, and death is a scar that cannot be healed for them. But when I'm a little older, I'm probably a lot more sentimental than before, and my ability to feel emotions is increasing. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Howie loves Becca so much, time and time again, Howie wants Becca to be like him and accept the fact that has happened, but Becca refuses. After all, Howie may not be able to accept the blow of his son's death, but as a man in the family, he needs to be strong. Becca, as her mother said, hurt herself and hurt the people around her all the time. Some wounds are not so easy to pass, and there is no way to shorten the healing process. I'm very happy that in the end Becca still held Howie's hand, unlike another couple who couldn't get over this rough patch after many years, so they parted ways.

I think maybe I still can't agree with the way Becca used to resolve the grief. I still sympathize with Howie. So when I cried for the first time, Jason came to deliver the book. The scene of hugging the dog and crying. Maybe at that moment, the dog was not only Taz to him, but also the sustenance of his feelings for his son. Another time, when Becca finally returned the comics to Jason, maybe because she had freed herself from her bondage, she came home to see Howie, said there should be a party, and called her old friends home. At that moment, I don't know what touched me, and I couldn't hold back the tears. It was sad until the final subtitles came out. They should make it through, no matter how sad the process will be. But it should be, the process is still the same torture.

I guess I still need time to sort out my feelings. Sometimes emotions come before reason, so I can't control my tears when I watch it, but I don't know why I am so sad. I turned off the computer, but I couldn't help crying.

The only person in the video that makes me smile is becca's mom. The old lady acted so well and her smile was very warm, I liked it very much. The woman in the supermarket is very annoying. When sister becca said sorry to her, she said, that's none of my business!

Alas, indeed, grief is only one's own business, someone else's, no one else's business. What else can blame?
