This is a very bland movie, how bland is it? It's so dull that you can't see the climax of this movie, so dull that every story seems to happen right beside you. It seems that the protagonist of this story is you, or the people around you.
1. Mike, who fell from alcoholism to positive sunshine
The protagonist Mike is an out-of-date singer. If he says he's out-of-date, he actually just started walking down the music scene, because there are still many people who know him and have heard his songs.
Mike's first half of his life can be described as brilliant and downcast. He wrote songs and was a famous country singer. At that time, he had honor, money and status, but he was not treated gently, and finally fell to the altar, divorced his wife, couldn't see his daughter, and was kicked out of the band.
Since then, he has started to drink heavily and started to give up on himself. Therefore, the first time we meet Mike is Mike who is drinking and quarreling with friends in the dark. He thought that this person's life would be like this, but he met a gentle person Rosa, who moved Mike with her tenderness and let Mike find the light in the darkness.
I once thought about why Rosa had such a great charm to impress Mike, let Mike quit drinking, and let Mike change his previous decadence. When I carefully saw a few details in the movie, I realized that it was the case.
When Mike came back drunk, what Rosa did was not to condemn and complain, but to clean up silently; when Mike came back in the early morning after not returning overnight, was Rosa's first sentence hungry? Rosa used her actions to step into Mike's heart and into Mike's world.
Let me ask, which man would not be tempted when he met a woman as gentle as Rosa? Even a stone will be hot, right?
2. From the inner sensitive to the cheerful and lively Sonny
Sonny is Rosa's son. He grew up with Rosa and has never seen his father. Because of this, his heart is very sensitive.
Even in the face of his mother and Mike being together and being asked by friends around him, Sonny was very indifferent. However, from Sonny's expression, you can see his delicacy and sensitivity. He is not indifferent to all this.
When he couldn't help it, Sonny asked if his biological father died on the battlefield because of drug addiction. Judging from Rosa's strong reaction, this might be true.
In order to expel Sonny's confusion, Rosa brought Sonny to the destination, telling the story of her ex-husband and uncovering Sonny's heart knot step by step. At the same time, the relationship between Mike and Rosa also made Sonny let go of everything. This is what happened in the tavern. Sonny said that I want them to be together.
3. Rosa, who is not treated gently by fate, but treats others gently
Rosa is the heroine of this film, she is a gentle person, and then her first half of life was not gentle to her at all. She got married at the age of seventeen and had a child at the age of eighteen. When she was pregnant, her husband enlisted in the army and died on the battlefield. Not long after her husband died, her parents died one after another. She took the child alone, but did not give up on herself or lament the unfairness of fate. On the contrary, she educated her children well.
Maybe God thinks that she is too hard to live alone, or maybe she thinks that such a good woman should have a good man to spend the rest of her life with, so God let Mike come to her side. She used her tenderness to get Mike out of the darkness, but Mike used his music to give Rosa a happy life.
4. When you are treated gently, you will face life with a smile
This movie is healing. There is no intrigue or conspiracy in it. Some are happy family dinners under the sunset, and some are just the warmth of the family.
Looking at many families today, they are busy for money and chasing fame and fortune. They eat takeaways the most. They have long forgotten the taste of the dishes they cook. Home is no longer home, but a house, a place without temperature.
Of course, not only the family, there will always be many unkind places in this society. When you are not treated tenderly, you may be self-sacrificing like the protagonist, and you may bemoan your own life.
But when someone in life treats you tenderly, I believe that you will face life with a smile. No matter how big the wind and rain outside, you will survive it, because you know that you still have someone who can protect you from the wind and rain. The place.
