      "Tender Mercy" Brings a Certain Long-Lost Feeling

      For a movie, the greatest success is to give people a sense of a long absence. This feeling, no matter whether it is sad or happy, just need sincerity.

      The film tells the story of a down-and-out country singer who finds new meaning in life. On the surface, the protagonist succeeds because of the success of the music, but in fact, the biggest reason why the protagonist saves himself is to let go of the past.

      There are three secondary protagonists in the film, interpreting three...

      woman's love

      I often have a habit of being bored while riding the subway. I like to secretly glance at what the people around me are doing. Some of them are watching the latest variety shows, some are playing the most popular games, and some are chasing the latest TV series. And novels, some students and working parties who are preparing for the exam are looking at the textbooks and teaching materials for the exam. Except for children without mobile phones, sleeping parties, music parties, and sales...

      The story recommended by McKee is a minimalist film

      No matter how much suffering and pain life has given us, God will bestow upon us the tenderest mercy.

      It is estimated that many people like me watched "Tender Mercy" after reading "Story" written by Mr. McKee.

      Director Bruce Beresford (Bruce Beresford) has directed "Driving for Daisy Street", and screenwriter Horton Foote (Horton Foote) is most famous for his masterpiece "To Kill a...

      Gentle mercy, gentle healing, gentle mercy~

      This is an ordinary movie, but also an extraordinary movie. The seemingly bland plot has won two Oscars for Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay in 1984. With such an excellent award, it can be said that in the hall of glory of world filmmakers, "Tender Mercy" is a masterpiece worth watching.

      Accompanied by the strange laughter in the small window, or the alcoholic who drank too much, a little boy appeared in the audience's field of vision. Next is the worried and pitiful...

      tender mercy

      I don't like foreign movies and books, because I find it difficult to read, but I have to sigh that some foreign movies and books are really good-looking, such as Titanic, such as tender mercy...

      7.9 Sweet country music, small town life as calm as running water. Although the male protagonist is the center of the film's characterization, perhaps what the film really wants to show is the gentle and compassionate female protagonist that comes from religion, a return to traditional...

      This old movie was mentioned in "Story", so I wanted to take a look. The script is very different, there is a lot of blank space, and it does not show some plots that are so popular in today's movies, and those small details that are particularly warm are touching, the United States in the 1980s. Simple and...

    "Comeback der Liebe" tells a seemingly bland story in a light-hearted tone. The story is like a small river flowing calmly, and everything unfolds slowly without being disturbed. However, plainness is only an appearance. In the narrative of the story, there is a faint tension flowing from beginning to end, which makes people feel sadness and sadness that cannot be ignored in addition to warmth. The dual feelings of warmth and sadness...
