A love letter to film fans. A warm and nostalgic road sketch, a journey of reconciliation between father and son in the background of the end of the film era. Although the routine is obvious and the narrative is bland, the details still show the naturalness and simplicity of life-flow movies. Every time you change the lens, load the film, press the shutter, and manually pass the film, you can make film lovers cry. The film in the film represents a short period of time, an era, and also the old father himself. When my father left, it was also the time when the last Kodak laboratory was closed, so that at the end of the film, the male protagonist watched the slideshow. In the end, he reached a reconciliation with his father, only to realize that what he did not cherish was precious.

There are also many flaws in the film. Ed Harris relied on his acting skills to support the entire film, but the film's conception is ambiguous, both nostalgic and anti-nostalgic, resulting in the characters and stories are not three-dimensional enough.

The photography and music are great, every song is beautiful, and every frame is a painting. In the end, my father's statement as a photographer is a great one, and it is also the most tear-jerking moment in the whole film.

I am grateful to the 35mm film for the heavyness of the film, and I am also glad that I stepped on the tail of the film era. Well, the film is not dead.
