Drinking too much of the clichéd chicken soup will not bring about essential changes, and the silent transformation will give people infinite energy. The film seems to be bland, but the rhythm is handled very delicately, which brings the audience the comfort that is most suitable for human body temperature. It's like a cup of warm water at 34 degrees, you won't feel burnt. And such a sense of rhythm injection is often full of stamina and can withstand scrutiny and testing.
In the movie, Mac's daughter asked him when did he stop drinking? The wife replied that I didn't know that I just told him that I couldn't drink during work hours. At first, I occasionally went for two drinks and gradually stopped drinking. In the daughter's impression, Mac is an alcoholic father, and he will never quit drinking. But in the eyes of his wife, it all happened so naturally. In all things, the change that truly regenerates never needs any sense of ritual. It is just like that, at an appropriate time node, silently appearing.
Among them, I was also confused at some moments. For example, why is the self-healing speed of mac so fast after the death of my daughter? But it was relieved at the end of the film. Pain and misfortune never disappear in life, but tender mercy can heal and redeem everything.
Such a well-scripted film work deserves careful reflection behind every tumultuous moment.
