We danced so hard that no grass could grow under our feet

I won’t talk about how bad the movie is. I just want to post these two pictures. I’ve been thinking about these words for a long time.

You can’t post if you don’t write 140!

The wonderful part of the novel is not performed, this Nima is a fan! The novel is a bit unfinished. The movie has also pinched off the wonderful head. Has the plot of prison and theft of warships been eaten? The most important emotions of the novel are gone. The fascination with Emma, ​​the contradictory and deep love with dad, the brotherhood with brother and Dean are gone, only the love for the black Virgin is left. The beginning is also unclear.

And all the important foreshadowings have been deleted. For example, the section showing Earl's daughter's photo was deleted, which caused her daughter to become a saint. Earl's final revenge scene is completely illogical, and people who haven't read the novel can't understand it at all.

Finally, I want to say, whether it is a novel or a movie, I am not satisfied with Emma's handling in the end! How did love become a mistake when you were young? "Crazy is not love", is it true? Love is crazy infatuation! In the last meeting, Emma told me that it was a hypocrisy that made me feel too uncomfortable. If I want to rationalize the relationship between husband and wife, can't I just treat Emma as love? Is it necessary for a cinnabar mole to become mosquito blood?

In short, two stars in the movie! One more star for Batman

Live by Night quotes

  • [first lines]

    Joe Coughlin: [narrating] In 1917, I signed up to fight the Huns in France. Good men died all around me, and I saw no reason for it. The rules we lived by were lies. And they didn't apply to those who made them. I swore If I made it home, I would never follow orders again. I left a soldier, I came home an outlaw.

  • Joe Coughlin: I'm crazy about her.

    Thomas Coughlin: Crazy isn't love.
