A Beautiful Sunny Day

Ben Affleck's second directorial work, in this place called CHARLESTOWN. He is a TOWN who was abandoned by his mother when he was 6 years old, his father smokes all day, and a town whose law and order are chaotic and robberies occur frequently.

He has a great brother, Jeremy Renner, who has been living and dying together since he was 6 years old. A person who is willing to rush into someone's house for him who has nothing to do with him as long as he says: "I need your help, don't ask me why, don't ask me later, we are gonna hurt someone. (May be wrong)" , a big fight. A person who drank a Coke that was discarded by the trash can before he generously sacrificed his life (this detail is very interesting, he knew that he was surrounded and shouted surrender, but he still wanted to resist, maybe The only thing we want before we die is the purest wish, like another coke).

He has a LOVER, a single drug mother, who only uses drugs and does not sell drugs. It seems that in the scene in the hospital, Jon Hamm questioned our hot mother Blake Lively and didn't mention it. She loves Ben Affleck deeply, but when she is told that the man she loves gave someone else's necklace, and she has given so much to get nothing, this is the so-called huge setback, so she informs the hysterical The last despair, the role of maternal love? Although there are not many scenes, Blake Lively still plays a good role in it.

He robbed a bank at the beginning and held a manager hostage, but later fell in love with the man he should have silenced, Rebecca Hall, so charming, frightened when kidnapped, joy when cared, deceived The anger after, the sunshine when being in love. . Everything is so natural and real. The last sentence hoped that it was a SUNNY DAY, a love whisper that implied that he would not come, a Morse code that only the two of them could understand, and a promise that only belonged to each other.

Spoiler now, be cautious

A group of dead people, in addition to the first two, there is a very strong buddy Slaine, and Owen Burke, a good brother who does not have much role in the scene. The first vote was very easy, and there was almost no resistance, and it flashed swaggeringly. By the way, he kidnapped the beautiful and beautiful manager.
The second ticket, this is a drag racing scene. The four people wear masks similar to those of a convent nun, appearing ghostly and gorgeously, especially when they drove to rob the money carrier, Ben passed the window and a roadside small car. The slow motion of the boy looking at each other, the special praise, the kind of deepness, guilt and unease, even with masked eyes can still convey. Then there was a series of drifts, all kinds of strafing, all kinds of crashes. The most joyous thing is that when the four people stopped at a construction site to change cars, they suddenly saw a police car parked next to them, sitting next to a police officer, staring straight at them, all four pairs of eyes showing surprise. And panic, unexpected and reasonable, the police turned their faces and pretended not to see. It turns out that Americans also choose to protect themselves!
The third game, the last battle, naturally entered, took the money, and left, only to find that it was already surrounded, and before there was a chance to celebrate, it was found that the crisis was looming. Rush out, a chaotic shootout begins, one shot and one down. In order to cover the other two brothers, Slaine dragged the body that was shot, and rushed out without hesitation, just to get rid of the tiger, knowing that he had been waiting for a long time, but still bought the brothers time to change clothes and escape. Unfortunately, Jeremy Renner was caught up, surrounded, and killed. Only BEN managed to escape, and finally lived in seclusion in a remote area, missing his old friend. . . .

Brotherhood, love, family (a scene with my father in prison), each has its own focus, but the same moving. And each character is very full, the personality is very obvious, referring to 5 leading actors.

In conclusion, it is still too short, although it is 125 minutes, the relationship with the heroine is still too fast, or my English is too bad. Sure enough, this kind of film about human nature is the most sensational and most resonant film!

PS: What is the symbolic meaning of the orange at the end, who can enlighten me!
