Only when you release yourself can you change your life

I have always liked the family dramas shot in the United States in the early 1990s, which told the stories of little people. These people are ordinary people like us, and some are even vulnerable groups like Joan in this film, but when the United States tells the stories of these characters, it is not like the sympathy code that China likes to use to deceive the audience's tears , but really treat these vulnerable groups as "normal people" who have feelings, ideas, and their own world. Therefore, we can always feel the warmth from this kind of film, and it is bit by bit using the inner drama to move people with affection.

The name of this play can easily make people think it is a love story, because it happens to be the name of a man and a woman. But this film is actually about a brother-sister relationship, but Johnny Depp's personal charm is too much to steal the show, so that we are almost ignoring that the protagonist of this drama is not him. However, thanks to Johnny Depp, this sketch, which may be buried forever out of the public eye, can still be excavated by Johnny Depp loyal fans of the post-80s and post-90s in 20 years. I have to say, Johnny Depp was really tender at that time, so young and handsome and invincible.
This play will not bring us too much joy and loss, but there will be a little touch in our hearts, it turns out that this world There is true love in every corner of the world, and even the disadvantaged will find true love one day. This is what touched me the most when watching this drama, because even a little mentally ill sister can find someone who can understand her and love her. And love can change everything. Brother Bonnie has always lived in a state of "needing Joan to be sick". He took Joan's illness as the reason why he did not make progress, fall in love, or leave, until the appearance of Johnny Depp changed Joan , and indirectly changed his concept, and he realized that Joan actually doesn't need to be treated as a patient by her. He actually has the energy and time to travel and fall in love. This paltry feeling is sometimes difficult to explain in words.
It's like we'll make a whole bunch of excuses not to travel, no money, no time, no energy. But to really go out, you just need to overcome your inner laziness. After you overcome this step, the hardest part will be solved. It's not that time is like cleavage, and there will always be a squeeze. This is the big truth. What kind of mentality a person chooses will determine what kind of life a person will lead. The reason why Grandet became Grandet is because he chose such a way of life, no one forced him, he had enough money to live a life where he wanted to go, but he didn't want to. He himself chose this way of life, and we have nothing to blame.
Just like Bonnie, after he magnified his responsibilities and duties, he thought that his sister could not survive without him, and he had to make the sacrifice of his life for her. When this bounded thought took root in his heart, the life he lived was forever confined to his stagnancy. At this time, Johnny Depp, this unfettered, yearning for freedom, living in his own world, the appearance of a positive and optimistic person not only gave Joan a second life, but also gave Bonnie a second life. It turns out that life can be like this .
This is what touched me. Only when I release myself can I change my life.
