Philomena

It's really nice, but this is a British film or an American film. Because I don't know the male protagonist at all, it's very real, and I think he's even that person. It was only later that I found out that the old lady was in 1934, and she was 80~~~~ I really can't think of it. I forgot that the movie was said to be an adaptation of a true story, so I have been speculating about whether it was really reported. I am afraid that it will end up being an obscure and too tangled ending, which is full of melancholy. I didn't expect it to be such a dramatic story. It seems that life is really the best screenwriter. The film also cuts in really well from the author's point of view, and can slowly push the story to a climax in the exploration.

I was very angry about the unscrupulousness and complete lack of repentance of the monastery. I felt that the face-to-face dispute was not enough to relieve my anger. I really wanted to continue to read the story behind and see how they were morally condemned by the world after the report. I don't know if the real person involved can really say forgiveness on the spot. If so, I think I have been brainwashed too much all my life.

    The overall tone of the film is gentle, and even at the moment when the emotional cohesion is strongest, it still maintains moderate restraint.

    Dignified yet relaxed, full of affection but not sensational

Philomena quotes

  • Martin Sixsmith: Now why would someone who cared so little about where he came from, wear something so Irish?

    Philomena: Well... perhaps he played the harp. He *was* gay.

    Martin Sixsmith: He didn't play the harp.

  • Martin Sixsmith: Phil, how did you know he was gay?

    Philomena: Well he was a very sensitive little boy, and as the years rolled on, I always wondered if he might be. But when I saw the photograph of him in the Dungarees

    [chuckles]

    Philomena: there was no doubt in my mind.
