True and false, false and true

Originally wanted to give three stars to the bland chicken soup theme that I hate at the same time, but I thought about it. . . wait! The idea of ​​this story is wonderful!

Although in the name of helping the protagonist to socialize, the main story line of the protagonist is told, but in fact, the three friends have encountered the real problems of time death and love respectively. The protagonist just threw out these three words, but the female colleague encountered the time problem of needing to donate sperm to give birth to a child at an advanced age, the Indian colleague encountered the problem of facing death, and the scumbag father colleague encountered the problem of loving his daughter but not him. Never see his problems again. And the three of them are the contacts of time death and love.

The contact person seems to divert their attention by acting in front of the protagonist, but what he really does is to enlighten these three colleagues! On the contrary, the protagonist does not need the help of the three actors.

These three people thought they were actors at first, but when they think about it, they are really three gods!

In the film, I thought for a moment whether this was really a question of immortals, but I immediately denied it when I saw it. After I pulled away from the film, I only saw the true meaning in retrospect. So the story is really great, and it's great without the movie as a carrier.

But the movie is really not that good. There is such a good story but it doesn't perform well, and the story loses its luster.

    The appearance is mediocre, but I just have no resistance to the stars

    Love, Time and Death, the standard Hallmark Christmas slice level. The setting of the trio of young actors is the most interesting, but they were all too abrupt in the process of getting to know Howard. And the trio of colleagues headed by Norton, their respective problems are burdensome to the film, it is better to delete them all. Seeing that Will exhausted his energy for Chong Ao, I still want to say please keep going == because you can always find something in him that other actors don't have.

Collateral Beauty quotes

  • Amy: [as the personification of Love] I know you don't believe me, but you have to trust me.

    Howard: Trust you? Trust you?

    Amy: Yes!

    Howard: I *did* trust you! And you betrayed me! I saw you every day in her eyes, and I heard you in her voice when she laughed, and I felt you inside of me when she called me "Daddy." And you betrayed me! You broke my heart.

    Amy: No. I'm in all of it. I'm the darkness and the light, I'm the sunshine and the storm. Yes, you're right, I was there in her laugh, but I'm also here now in your pain. I'm the reason for everything. I am the only "why." Don't try and live without me, Howard. Please don't.
