I liked Jennifer Lopez because I watched the American Music Festival when I took the postgraduate entrance examination last year. Although I liked it a little late, I was lucky to catch up with her. Later, I searched a lot of her movies and found that she made very few movies. But it sings so well! I have always been obsessed with a song of hers called "brave". For some reason, this woman has a strong and sexy appearance, and although she is getting older, she has a youthful face.
Unfinished life, a girl, a mother, a dead husband, a man with domestic violence, a police officer, a father-in-law, an old friend who was scratched by a bear, and a restaurant owner. The characters are simple, the story is simple, but the content is not simple. Perhaps the saddest thing in life is that we have not learned to forgive. The reason is very simple, and it is really difficult to achieve. The film does not have the gorgeous scenes of American blockbusters, and there are no visual stunts, only a deeply rooted and ordinary story.
At the beginning, the heroine was subjected to domestic violence. Why was the man who was inferior to the beast so cruel? The daughter could not bear to persuade her mother to take her away together. Her father-in-law's house. Aina makes a living by milking cows. Seeing his daughter-in-law, Joan, has indifferent eyes and hatred arises from the bottom of his heart. However, he has his own granddaughters, so he has no choice but to keep them, but the old man is deeply saddened by the death of his son. He fell into a deep hatred for his daughter-in-law. In a car accident, due to Joan's driving error, his son was taken away, but the daughter-in-law was lucky to survive. The old man lived to blame his daughter-in-law, and his son's grave was built on a hillside not far from his home. But looking at her granddaughter who hasn't grown up yet, Aina is tangled in psychological contradictions. One day, Aina and Joan quarreled fiercely. Joan said that she was also in pain, and she has been deeply remorseful for many years. But people have left after all, and the living people can't save his life no matter what. Under the guidance of Mickey's enlightenment and actions, Aina finally let go, forgave Joan, and forgave himself.
Morgan Freeman's acting skills are top-notch. The old man named Mickey was scratched by a bear and became disabled for life. He needed morphine injections every day to relieve the pain, but he never complained that life was unfair to him, and he never blamed the black bear, although the black bear Being locked in a cage and waiting for his disposal, he still cares about this animal that has caused him great harm every day. Finally, he passed his psychological level and let the bear go back to where it should have been.
Forgiveness is the most difficult thing to accomplish in one's life. Only those with a strong enough heart have the capital to forgive others. But there are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life, and no one can guarantee that an accident will happen. The loss of our loved ones has plunged us into endless pain, but life has to go on, and what we face later is what we forgive for life. Let yourself live a good life, isn't this a kind of relief for the departed person and yourself? That bear, got the peaceful life that should belong to it, no matter what kind of unrest it brings to others, it has been forgiven, even if it is killed, what can it do? Those who suffer are still suffering, and perhaps even suffering for the sake of mutilating their lives. Mickey's approach is deeply admirable. If it was himself, I think it might not be so indifferent. Learn to forgive, and we will be satisfied with the results we get. We just think that Joan's final harvest is still a beautiful love. Little Griff's mother, who also forgives, accepts the police officer. There is also a small plot in the film where the hotel owner blames herself for her daughter's departure. At that time, because she did not take good care of her, her daughter drowned, but she did not worry about her self-blame and still lived a peaceful life, although she sometimes missed it. , but does not affect the life that should be. To let go of someone who has left is an attitude and a responsibility to oneself.

An Unfinished Life quotes

  • Jean Gilkyson: I flipped a coin. Griffin fliped a coin and I lost. So I was the one who was driving. It was 3 o'clock in the morning and we were both tired. We wanted to make it in time for the rodeo in Great Falls.

  • Jean Gilkyson: I killed him, Einar. Is that what you wanna hear? It wasn't the change in our pockets, or the weak ass coffee, or the rain. It was me. I fell asleep and I flipped the car six times. I killed Griffin. He had no argument from me. You think it's something I forget. You think that I'm not sick with it, that I hate my life? But I tried to keep living, and you haven't. Is that why you hate me so much? You know, you act like I killed you when Griffin died.
