From the heart

Stone 2022-03-25 09:01:09

It couldn't be simpler. To save a person, we must start from the heart. Sandler's performance fascinates me. Wearing headphones, carrying a large backpack across the body, a knee-length black coat, somewhat messy curly hair, helpless and fearful eyes, his love for music has reached a certain level, and he has collected almost all vinyl records. Familiar with each band, able to say the songs on each of their records casually. The most unforgettable is his scooter, the scene where two big men stand on it and wander in the middle of the road, beautiful. His life in tragedy makes me yearn for it. If it weren't for this disaster, he might be enjoying himself with his family, but at the same time, it is inevitable that the pressure of the world, the balance between reality and ideals. At this time, despite suffering from psychological torture, he can ignore the cruelty of reality and focus on his own interests (whether this interest is due to escape or from the heart). It's also a movie between men. When faced with the pressure of life and work, the conversation between men and men, the encouragement of men, is memorable. And a little bit of love. When two people in adversity meet and fall in love, this kind of love seems to be not bad, hehe.

    The pain of being able to cry, being able to complain. Not the deepest. Pretending to forget is the deepest.

    My favorite Adam Sandler work, the whole is very subtle and full of warm emotions...

Reign Over Me quotes

  • [Charlie is meeting Angela for the first time. Angela goes off to get a cup of coffee]

    Charlie Fineman: Are you kidding me? She's a baby.

    Alan Johnson: Listen, you're right, she's young. But, she's-she's good. She's got a lot of experience with *loss* and grief counseling. Just give her a...

    Charlie Fineman: [interrupting] She's got nice tits, that's not good.

    Alan Johnson: Since when?

    Charlie Fineman: [pause] Good point.

    Alan Johnson: Listen. Look, we'll just do the meet-and-greet, you'll see what you think and if you like her, we'll just... we'll go from there.

    Charlie Fineman: Am I wrong about her tits, though?

    Alan Johnson: No, you're right. They're wonderful.

    Angela Oakhurst: So what are you guys talking about? What's so wonderful?

    [silence from Charlie and Alan]

  • Alan Johnson: You know, my wife and I, we tried to call him so many times. Hadn't seen him in years, and I erad about what happened in the paper, and I was just... I was just heartbroken for him. For them.

    Ginger Timpleman: He just shut down. Quit work. He stopped wanting to talk about her. Then he acted like he didn't remember them. Then he pretended he didn't remember us.

    Alan Johnson: Yeah.

    Ginger Timpleman: All my husband and I want to do is see him. And that crazy landlady and his business manager, Sugarman, both conspire to keep us away.

    Alan Johnson: Sugarman?

    Ginger Timpleman: Yeah, I don't care for him. Who knows what that little shyster's taking from Charlie.

    Alan Johnson: What is there to take?

    Ginger Timpleman: Between the government payout and the insurance policy, Charlie has enough to take care of himself, put it that way. My husband retired young. He was a cop. We were young, young to be grandparents. I was gonna do nothing but travel and spoil my granddaughters. Then those monsters flew over here from across the world, and rearranged my dance card.
