"warm" tender mercy

A very warm movie.

What impresses me is that the cutscenes of the movie change so quickly, but each scene has its own meaning.

For example, when the movie starts soon, the hero plays the guitar and sings in the room, while the heroine walks uneasy in the living room, which has already hinted that the heroine's favorability to the hero at this time has increased.

Through the dialogue between the little boy and his classmates, it is revealed that "the two of them are already married". move the plot forward.

Secondly, through the layer-by-layer change of the little boy's attitude towards the hero, the degree of reconstruction of the hero's heart is reflected. From the very beginning, pouting while eating, to asking his name—curious, to being angry at being called his father, to finally admitting that I like him generously.

In addition, it is quite interesting to express the handling of this dialogue scene through the little boy playing while the male protagonist passes by and talks to the female protagonist. Conversations don't have to be filmed. Yep.

The scene where the little boy and the hero are baptized at the same time can be said to be a very dramatic scene, and the screenwriter is really good.

The treatment at the end is also a way to learn from it. It's relatively bland, yet it seems to have a deep meaning.

    In that kind of sunshine and land, at the moment when the scarecrow holding a branch diagonally was blown up by the wind, God's gentle mercy has come quietly.

    The content is not complicated, and the expression is very "ruled" (there is no out-of-the-ordinary content, alcoholism is an indirect expression, children's fights are fleeting, and the affectionate kiss between a man and a woman is hidden after a kiss, etc.), use some small skills to convey emotions , creating contagion. Into and out of picture, voiceover, various jump connection comparisons, etc. Duvall took the best actor to show off his character's mother and son.

Tender Mercies quotes

  • Mac Sledge: [to Rosa Lee] I don't know why I wandered out to this part of Texas drunk, and you took me in and pitied me and helped me to straighten out, marry me. Why? Why did that happen? Is there a reason that happened? And Sonny's daddy died in the war, my daughter killed in an automobile accident. Why? See, I don't trust happiness. I never did, I never will.

  • Woman with Groceries: Hey, mister, were you really Mac Sledge?

    Mac Sledge: Yes, ma'm, I guess I was.
