So, when I think back, I realised that it not only kept me awake, but kept me thinking, all the time. It is true that life is all about small things. But when you stop what you are doing right now, and think about these small things from a different angel, just like what Mason did with his photography,then, it becomes this movie.
Life is all about delimmas, getting married or not, keeping doing what you like or taking reponsibility for your family, have a big house or a small deparment... After facing these delimmas , you have to make your own decison. No one will tell you what is right or what is wrong. Even years after you made your decisions, you still didn't know whether they were right or wrong. So, I really like the words Mason Senior told his son when M Junior was sad after his girlfriend breaking up with him." You don't need to take resoponsiblity of anyone but yourslef, and you have to believe in yourself." The power that makes you stick to your decisions, is not the fact whether your decision is right or wrong , but the believe. You believe that the decision is right, or the decison is the best for you.
I didn't try to figure out what this movie is trying to tell me. And I don't think it is trying to tell me anything. It throws a lot of questions to you and makes you think twice.
