      growing pain.

      After watching the video, I feel warm. Grandpa's deathbed conversation turned out to be just grandpa's arrogance and prejudice, but this once affected Simeon's life and blurred his impression of his parents. As a result, his life was a mess. Teacher Sabine's composition title seemed to send Simeon's thoughts into darkness again. Everything seems to be trying to obfuscate the truth, everything seems to be heading towards darkness. How could the once gentle and loving father be a killer, Tian...

      The virtual power is so strong that even the audience is confused.

      I have always been a fan of Atom Egoyan. Basically, no matter what the story or subject matter of the movie is, I will buy a ticket to watch it if I have the chance.

      Some people say that Egoyan’s films can always enter major film festivals because the subject matter is different. I don't care if he makes films for the festival, but I like his unique ideas and creativity. I believe that those who like his films have been fascinated by his films since "Exotica" (1994)....

      virtual wound

      A teenager who lost his parents at a young age, relying on the words spoken by the living or deceased, guesses, fantasizes, and weaves the stories of his parents before his death. In the attack incident, the teenager tried to clarify the mystery that the deceased left in his heart, trying to find an answer that could convince him.


      The staggered splicing at the beginning, the grandfather's words, the imaginary picture and the boy's monologue lead the audience to believe in a...

      an interpretation

      Simon in the film imagines his father as a terrorist who tried to use his mother to carry out a bomb attack. If you must ask why, you may find the answer from a sentence of your grandfather in the final video: Your father is a killer.
      Racial prejudice and hatred, contradictions between broken families and relatives, communication and estrangement in the Internet age. Atom Egoyan wanted to say too much, and seemed unable to justify it. However, the cluttered timeline, the confusing plot...

      eternity under selfishness

      After watching the movie, I read Murakami's prose memoir "What I was thinking when I was running". I didn't fall asleep until I was too sleepy, and didn't get up until 8:41 the next day.
            I have been thinking about "Love" just now, and the story is not exhausted.
          "Love": Everyone lives in all kinds of lies of different sizes and shapes caused by other people's secrets, selfishness, and desires. Maybe a small lie is just a small selfishness, but after everyone's different...

      This film is really Canadian. Basically, from the time my mother stood by the lake and played the violin, I felt that it was full of a strong Canadian atmosphere, as expected. . . And most of it was shot in Toronto. ....

      The first paragraphs are all very good. After the original scene is hidden, the scene is recreated with clear narrative entry and exit nodes by constantly changing the first person. It's a pity that those floating and ambiguous second scenes were disintegrated in an instant once there was some kind of real reference and became more and more...

    Evaluation action

    The plot of Adoration is intertwined with the difference between the appearance and reality of events, as well as the increasingly alienated communication between modern people, which is increasingly accomplished through modern high-tech media, especially computers. Atom Egoyan has written, directed, and produced the film, continuing his own "Made by Egoyan series". The finished film isn't as engaging as it was supposed to be, but the...

    Movie quotes

    • Daniel: What do you think, can we get a rain check for martyrdom?

    • Simon: I think that this idea we get, that if you get to know someone, if you humanize them, it stops you from pulling the trigger or setting off the bomb or whatever, well that's just a myth we're taught, something we get from the movies. When the reality might be that's what actually inspires extreme action.

      Sabine: He was. We were happy.

      Simon: And then what happened?

      Sabine: Then he met your mom.

      Simon: You let him go.

      Sabine: No, I never let him go.
