      My dad's daughter and me

      Sam was savvy at the beginning, but later it turned into a career crisis because of a mistake. Not to mention that the character created is not the same as the subsequent development, and this kind of first development and later suppression is also somewhat redundant. After watching for a long time, I don't know the difference between this performance and directly talking about his professional crisis. It makes me feel a little puzzled that such a profitable person is so disgusted by the boss....

      What is he struggling with?

      His father passed away, leaving him with a to-do list in his will-handing over $150,000 to his sister whom he had never heard of. He has little affection for his father. The legacy his father left to him is a large number of classical records. In his eyes, it is obviously not worth the huge sum of US$150,000. Therefore, he does not want to be understandable to others, not to mention that he is already in a debt crisis and urgently needs a sum of money to get rid of the lawsuit.

      He was...

      Mortal song

      I was not a fan of Chris Pine when I watched the trailer last year. Although I watched Star Trek, I am not a subordinate control.

      Chris Pine hasn't played a particularly unusual role. The only thing to blame is that this face is so good, and the eyes are as blue as the lake. In this way, even playing ordinary people is also a test of acting skills. Similarly, such as Bradley Cooper, or Tom Cruise, but Ya is really too short, and looks like a heroic twilight.

      Sam in the play...

      This is the first work of the director’s work. It’s great. The audiovisual language is not only measured by maturity, but the burden of the final film is also great. There are also excellent character settings, dialogue, and situational time. The foreshadowing is good. , The only thing that can be criticized is that the lawyer who has been looking for him in front is gone...Although there are only three or four roles, all of them are dazzling, coupled with reliable plots, precise lines, and...

      There is room for improvement in the role of Sam, and Pine did not show his mental change very well. Banks did a good job, and the feeling was very...

      At one time I thought I would see an incest scene that I couldn't look directly at. Well, I was wrong, and I silently faced the wall. But Chris Pine is really too handsome. Although the plot is weak, the acting tension of the actors is still...

    In appearance, the film is very similar to the "sister version" of "Rain Man". In fact, the mutual salvation of siblings and brothers comes from their restoration of the time of their father and father. The film transmits the heaviness of the times to the tip of human needles, coming out of confusion, and going away through the confusion. (Comment by Dazhong Daily) 
    Although the film’s artificial traces are too obvious, the sincere...

    Movie quotes

    • Lillian: I hope you never have to know what it's like to love someone, and then find out you're not enough. I was trying to protect you from ever feeling that. Don't you think I believed I was flying to your defense with all the courage in my heart?

    • Sam: I swear to you on my life I'm not and will never hit on you. Ever.

      Frankie: Wow, thank you. I'm sure that was meant to reassure me.

      Sam: No, I'm just... I'm sure you get hit on all the time. I'm not one of those guys... I'm in a relationship right now, so...

      Frankie: Oh, that's so great for you. What's his name?

    • Frankie: [to Sam about their father] I think that I waited my whole life for him to come back to me. He sent you.
