To understand this film, you must first understand what "subordinate beauty" is

There should be a lot of people who don't understand what it means to be attached to beauty, and there should be a lot of people who don't even understand it after reading it.
Therefore, in my understanding, the meaning of attached beauty is the beauty in the process of destruction when you see things of destruction. The falling dominoes throughout the film have an attractive subsidiary beauty; when buildings are bombed, and even people are in the process of stepping towards the end of their lives, there are also subsidiary beauty.
Will Smith is a man who needs to face this kind of subsidiary beauty. He is a major shareholder of an advertising company. Because of the loss of his daughter, he has no heart to take care of the company. Too many people in the film are in the process of destruction. . Michael Pena plays a husband and dad with an incurable disease; Kate plays an elderly unmarried woman who is considering whether to freeze her eggs before menopause; a company that is about to be destroyed
... In the end process, everyone is trying not to make the result too bad, so they try to find several actors to play - death, love and time, the reason why these three are because the protagonist Will Smith wrote recipients of several letters.
They themselves are synonymous with destruction, especially love, Will Smith chose to leave his wife because of the death of his daughter, and their love ended with it.
Their presence only needs to convince Will Smith that they exist, and that no one else can see them. They recorded the video and pulled out the actors who were invited, which could prove that Will Smith was mentally ill, and they could sell the company without him. In this way, shareholders will be able to share the money, and Pena will have money to leave to his family...
Only by accepting the subsidiary beauty will we have the courage to continue living in the process of destruction and accept the subsidiary beauty that our daughter once left behind. Later, Will found his wife, they lived together again, and the company also made an equity transfer.
Throughout the film, if you don't understand the meaning of subsidiary beauty, you can't think he is a good movie. Do you think these big cast actors chose the wrong script? I do not think so.

    This kind of cast and subject matter is generally difficult to shoot, but the director did it.

    It's full of poisonous chicken soup... It's a pity that this cast and EN have such a beautiful face

Collateral Beauty quotes

  • Claire: What was that thing you said about Einstein in there?

    Raffi: Einstein called time a stubbornly persistant illusion.

    Claire: Whats that even mean

    Raffi: Time doesn't go from January to December, or from noon to midnight. You know we all just make it that way in our heads.

    Claire: That's absurd! Try telling that to a person who's an hour late to a wedding, or that's just been sentenced to 20 years in jail.

    Raffi: Or someone fighting the baby clock.
