Lucie 2022-03-24 09:03:06
This is a movie about "forgiveness" and looks at family ethics. Enner gave his old friend Bradley a bear injury due to alcoholism, and has since stopped drinking and caring for a long time, but Bradley does not blame, and expresses forgiveness by caring for the bear - feeding and releasing it. Onna's daughter-in-law, Jane, lost her life in a car accident caused by a fatigued driving, and Enna's only son, Gerry, was killed. Under the silent inspiration of Bradley and the infection of his grandparents' affection, he went from hatred to understanding and acceptance. Jane's daughter has a closed mind from being a single parent and is dissatisfied with her mother's emotional life. Through her interactions with Enner and Bradley, she realizes forgiveness and opens her mind to accept her mother and her new boyfriend, Klein. The film uses details to describe the changes in the relationship between the characters, and uses details to peel off the logic of psychological activities, so that the audience can understand every move, frown and smile. No matter what nationality or society, forgiveness is a universal moral value. After all, no one can be blamed unless they are saints and sages. Forgiveness allows the forgiver to let go of it, and it also allows the forgiver to let go and start a new life. As the end of the film says: Forgiveness is actually not that hard.

A good theme drama goes peacefully without a climax. In some places, it is blunt. The free boy finally did not receive a bad movie and a rival scene with Redford's love, but Holstrom did not play the level of "The Years of the Dog Face".

Gary Watson: I don't think you really understand just how worried I am.
Kitty: Look, I don't know. Maybe they went shopping or something.
Gary Watson: I wish someone in this goddamn place would just... would just tell me the truth. Then we could find Jean pretty damn quick.
