      It's really hard to fully understand the plot of this movie.

      Trying to sort things out, because the plot really doesn't make sense to me. But I would like to believe that the plot is actually smooth, but some parts are not performed? Make up your mind. .
      The protagonist, Walter Black, has inherited the family business: a famous listed toy company, with Meredith, the wife of a roller coaster designer, an eldest son Potter in high school, and a younger son Henry in kindergarten. His father died prematurely, "in an accident," as the mother at the...

      A movie that makes me both logically and emotionally embarrassed

      A simple sentence / did not resonate.

      But the natural performance of the big cousin made me happy again, talent! The script lacks details about the impact on the family after Walter's derangement. The intimacy between the wife and children and Walter is brushed aside, and the career is also a frivolous failure and success. The character of Mr. Beaver didn't feel new or relevant to me. Mel is old, but those clear eyes still have the ability to cleanse the pneumoconiosis that has...

      To live too full is too much


              After watching the feel that hates iron and not steel~ I feel the same about my father's depression, self-talking, powerless, splitting, and wanting to commit suicide. But~ Except for being shocked a little by the struggle between my father and Beaver at the end, I didn't shoot it as a whole. Wei'er~ If you take a good shot, you may be able to cry for it and release it, but now it's unhurried and depressing. Combined with personal experience, I would like to say: 1. Optimism is an...

      3 and a half stars. Trauma Healing Department. The first 30 minutes really made me think that Aunt Jodie Foster would shoot a masterpiece like American Beauty. A feature film really requires skill, and if you don't control it, it will be...

      Gibson's hard work is not enough to hide the erratic feeling of the film wandering between humor and heaviness, but the director is Jodie, the film has been considered a success, and I look forward to the next one more...

      Beavers are cute, although they turned black in the end. Some plots are slightly YY. Getting to the point is quick. The final solution is too cruel. I didn't even recognize...

As his will became more and more depressed, he also suffered from depression, even though his wife and children kept on him. He didn't give up, but he himself had already given up on himself. After he was rude to his family, he was rejected by his discouraged family and wandered on the...

    Evaluation action

    "The Beaver" always conveys a concept: "Everything will be okay", this sentence is a kind but hypocritical lie, people rely on it to intoxicate themselves. Although the film closed in faint light, the inspirational power was obviously insufficient. "The Beaver" always oscillates around the black and gray reality, there is no hard and high pitch, and there is no lower level. (Comment by Dazhong Daily )

    Movie quotes

    • Walter Black: We reach a point where, in order to go on, we have to wipe the slate clean. We start to see ourselves as a box that we're trapped inside and no matter how we try and escape, self help, therapy, drugs, we just sink further and further down. The only way to truly break out of the box is to get rid of it all together... I mean, you built it in the first place. If the people around you are breaking your spirit, who needs them? Your wife who pretends to love you, your son who can't even stand you. I mean, put them out of their misery. Starting over isn't crazy. Crazy is being miserable and walking around half asleep, numb, day after day after day. Crazy is pretending to be happy. Pretending that the way things are is the way they have to be for the rest of your bleeding life. All the potential, hope, all that joy, feeling, all that passion that life has sucked out of you. Reach out, grab a hold of it and snatch it back from that bloodsucking rabble.

    • Porter Black: Good afternoon, graduates, dead poets, painters, future Einsteins, and all those in between. Today I'm here to warn you, that you are being lied to. Our parents, our teachers, our doctors, have lied to us. And it's the exact same lie. The same six words, "Everything is going to be okay."

    • Norah: I'm not okay, not at all, the truth is, I'm missing something. The thing I loved the most, the face I wish were in the front row right now, the brother I'll never get back. So what do I do with that? What do any of us do? Besides lie. This is what I believe, right now, in this auditorium, there is someone who is with you, someone who is willing to pick you up, dust you off, kiss you, forgive you, put up with you, wait for you, carry you, love you. So while everything may not be okay, one thing I know is true, you do not have to be alone.
