"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.

Tender Mercies quotes

  • Dixie: [singing] We can't afford good wine or pink champagne, We ain't got no open fireplace flame, But we celebrate the happiness we've found, Every night in the best bedroom in town...

  • Dixie: [singing] I'll gladly be a fool, In love again, If there's a chance that you might see me, Touch me, want me never leave me, 'Cause I'm still goin' crazy over you, I'm never gettin' over you..
