      We need love and forgiveness

      A typical film that challenges human weakness. The story is very simple. A car accident caused a change in the fortunes of the two families. Ethan kept looking for the murderer, ignoring his wife and daughter who also needed love. White wandered through the days in panic, hoping to be lucky and tormented in his heart. The conflicts and conflicts gradually pushed the inner struggle between the two to the extreme. Forgive or bear.

      We all long for peace of mind

      We have all had the experience of doing something wrong or bad, not having the courage to admit it, and fearing that people around will discover it. At that time, their every move made us uneasy, for fear of being exposed. When I was young, most of these experiences would be because of breaking a vase, losing money, or fighting with others. These would pass, but what if you run away after hitting someone to death?

      If you were touched by him

      If you have been deeply touched by the following pictures-you can not tell the Hutu or the Tutsi, but you can't turn a blind eye to the eyes looking up at 45 degrees from under your eyes; if you don't care, These children themselves have dark skin, or dirty or more diseased bodies; staring at these shots for half an afternoon for so long, as Lussabaji is busy everywhere, I feel that if there are other desires, That is a dirty idea. ------- Comment on "Rwanda Hotel"

      Wings of Destiny

      Little FIREFIVES, two little boys, two fathers, and two families, entangled their fate due to an accidental car accident.
      Christianity advocates that everyone sins. But who can say that what parents who want to protect their children do because of anger and guilt is guilty?
      Painful thorns, physical and mental exhaustion, torture of physical and mental exhaustion, guilt against their will, the anger that others cannot empathize with, facing the pure and angelic After children, their...

      It's up to you

      I have always liked Mark Ruffalo's performance.
      Has always been tepid, slow, and wonderful.
      Although there won't be Adam Sandler's forward and backward closing, lack of Mel Gibson's breathlessness.
      But his performance always calms you down and inadvertently sees the movie from the beginning to the end.
      Sometimes I forget his name in the film afterwards, but I will definitely remember his role in the film.
      It's like tasting an aged wine, there is no feeling at first, but...

      A gentle plot, the conflict between two families, and the two sides of fatherly love. Uncle Mark and Phoenix have extra points for their acting skills, and the title is a spoiler. Younger sister Fanning was so innocent and cute back then. Thinking about her age, she could have a romantic relationship with...

    • Lucas: [as Brain #2] If a man speaks in the middle of the forest with no woman there to hear him, is he still wrong?

      Brain #1: Yes!

    • Dwight Arno: [talking into camera] It was an accident, but what I did was terribly wrong. I left that night because I was afraid of losing you. And that's no excuse. I'm gonna go to prison, and I deserve to go to prison.

      Dwight Arno: [regaining his composure] People are gonna talk behind your back. They're gonna say hurtful things, but I just wanna urge you to remember these days that we've had together. I feel like for the first time I've been able to be the father to you that you deserve, and they've really been the most beautiful days of my life. And I just wanna say I'm sorry, honey. I'm sorry and I love you so much. And I hope that one day when this is all over that we'll be able to get back to where we are today. I love you.

    • Grace Learner: I want to get help. I want us to talk to someone.

      Ethan Learner: Okay. You wanna talk to somebody, Grace? We'll talk to whoever you want. We can talk to the police, lawyer, a therapist. I'll talk to the goddamn Pope! Anything you want, okay?
