I really like other netizens' comments on it, "sad but not sad" The tone of the whole movie is calm and restrained, sincere and concise, showing the story of how a middle-aged man who was down and out of his mind got back on his feet. Not tacky at all. Let me tell you a few little details that impress me. 1. When Mike was working in Rosa's hotel ($2 an hour and a beautiful lady boss hhh, it's a great job), they didn't know each other very well, and Rosa would come out when Mike was counting the money Watch him and be wary of strangers. When they were eating together in the evening, three people sat at the dining table, a man, a woman, and a child, like a happy family, but the next line broke this feeling, Sonny asked Mike: Sir, you What is your name? Later in the church, on the way home, the three of them sat in front of the TV watching TV, and they all revealed a feeling that "the three of them are harmoniously like a family". Sure enough, Mike and Rosa got married. But it only took ten minutes from the beginning to the proposal, and the scene of the proposal was as plain as water. 2. Mike went to listen to his ex-wife's concert and met his ex-wife backstage. The ex-wife yelled at him, and the lines also revealed the unbearable past of their previous marriage. The ex-wife was so excited that she wanted to drive Mike away. After Mike left, the ex-wife made a small move: she was anxious to rush out and scold Mike again. She felt that she didn’t scold Mike enough, but she took two steps out and came back. After walking a few steps in a messy place, he gave up and continued chasing out, but just stayed where he was and got angry. 3. Rosa is jealous. Mike came back from his ex-wife's concert. Rosa was doing her own business calmly. When Mike asked a few questions, Rosa gave a cold answer. After a fight, they broke up. (Not too heartbreaking, this is a reserved person who went to the bar after being jealous 4. Mike went out angrily. He was angered by his ex-wife and current wife one night, and he was also in a low mood. The waiter asked him. What he wanted, he didn't know whether he should drink or not, and he was afraid that he would drink too much. He said: I haven't figured out what I want. 5. Mike went out of the bar and drove outside, and he could see that he was in a bad mood and almost had a car accident. 6. When Rosa was at home waiting for Mike to come home, she went to the window to look at a car outside until the sound drove past. She seemed to be doing her own thing casually, but she actually cared about when Mike came home. When Sonny came to ask Rosa about Mike, Rosa was in a bad mood and almost quarreled with the child. After realizing what was wrong, Rosa stabilized her emotions in a second and apologized to the child. Sonny There was no reason to make trouble, he euphemistically said that he was going back to the room first, and he didn't want to for the time being. Stay with her. 7. Mike and his ex-wife's daughter, Annie, came to him. After many years of meeting, Annie has grown up. Anne's first sentence at the beginning was to ask Mike if he remembered who he was, and Mike replied of course he did. Before leaving, Annie asked Mike, "You haven't called me yet." Mike said, "I don't know what to call you. I used to call you sister when you were young, but now I don't know how to call you." 8. Annie's death. Mike made a new record, and it was so good that the radio was promoting it. Mike and Rosa are ready to drive to the band members' homes to listen to records, and the mood at this time is happy and joyful. Mike and Rosa didn't communicate in a word. Mike walked in to pack up and closed the door. Rosa went to drive outside the door. The two of them had a very tacit understanding. At this time, the phone rang, Mike walked in to answer the phone, Rosa was tuning the radio in the car, with a happy smile on her face, tuning the channels one by one, thinking about that channel playing Mike and songs, the radio was overwhelmed by the noise The sound of Mike answering the phone. Rosa was halfway through the tune, Mike's hand reached in, turned off the radio in the car, and then walked out despondently and sat on the chair in front of the door, telling the news of Annie's death. The mood changes from happiness to sadness in just one scene, and it's extremely concise, taking less than five minutes to complete.
