It's hard to face yourself

There are many things in life that will make us fall down. People's subjective consciousness will always find a reason to stand up again. At this time, we will go back and consider how to face our own problems. Maybe a failure is not enough to be fatal. It can knock you down and make you unable to stand up, because it is really difficult to pick up the courage to stand up.
Mr. Beaver is actually a good example, because what happened to him was not so bad. A beautiful wife, lovely children, a house, a car... He has it all. The film does not introduce how much he was once. His success, and what makes him so pessimistic, so in terms of character design, it's really hard to resonate with the protagonist's emotions, but Lao Mei's expression of loss is incisive and vivid, so I'm watching A large part of the film is really disdainful of the cowardice of the protagonist.
Hiding behind the hand puppet is really not a good way to heal. Although he chose a cruel way to get rid of the beaver, he has no sympathy for him. Fortunately, the end of the film is a relatively happy ending. As the Chinese often say, "the misfortune depends on the blessing, and the blessing lies on the misfortune." No matter how much misfortune we encounter in our life, we should all see the other side of things. Things are too persistent, look at it, at least we have a lot of reasons to make ourselves happy.

    Director Jodie Foster is clearly overwhelmed. Trivial, rough and somewhat artificial, it can only be regarded as an attempt at literature and art...

    Well, the 15th to 30th minutes are very out of nowhere, and why is Yelchin, who is loved by people all over the world, so indifferent to me, I am immune to literary youth. . Gilbson can still play such a role in an eventful year, which shows that he has a solid foundation. How can I give Helen's debut 4 stars, judie's equal treatment~~

The Beaver quotes

  • Porter Black: Tagging? Like... like graffiti tagging?

    Norah: More like art. It was just... illegal.

  • [first lines]

    Walter Black: This is a picture of Walter Black, a hopelessly depressed individual. Somewhere inside him is a man who fell in love. Who started a family. Who ran a successful company. That man has gone missing. No matter what he's tried, and he's tried everything, Walter can't seem to bring him back. It's as if he's died, but hasn't had the good sense to take his body with him. So mostly what he does is sleep.
