Life has to go on but not necessarily out of the haze - Manchester by the sea

I thought it would be boring, but it's actually pretty cool. Matt Damon dropped the film to take on the Great Wall, apparently making a huge mistake. It's a movie about life, about life, and it's fascinating. The film uses a cross-narrative approach, starting with Li as a plumber, the next section shows Li once had a happy family; then shows Li arguing with others as a plumber, and then shows Li at home partying with friends; Li's brother dies , and then a fire broke out in Li's house, and Li's children were killed. Li returned to the place where he lived for his brother's funeral, and was in pain again. Li wanted to leave, but his nephew did not want to leave. Li entrusted a friend to take care of his nephew, and Li could finally leave. Casey Affleck shows a man with a sad past, from extreme happiness to great disaster. He tried to kill himself, but he didn't succeed. He fought everywhere, but he still cared about his nephew very much. He never got out of the haze, although Life has to go on.
