      Check life from a different perspective

      This film probably tells the story of a husband who suddenly decided to disappear for a period of time, living in a garage and secretly observing his family. The whole film is very interesting to ask and answer. I am more used to this feeling of introspection... It’s like talking to myself every day...  Movies can interpret things that are not in reality and let you exchange them. A perspective to examine yourself. After watching this film, I realize how many people are trapped in a game...

      Living as a homeless man in your own attic-"The Vulnerable Zone"

      I recently watched such a broad-minded but reasonable movie.

      The male protagonist has a stable, high-paying job, lives in a big suburban house, is isolated from the noisy world, and has no worries about food and clothing, has a beautiful wife and two daughters, and his life seems perfect.

      Vulnerable zone

      There was a sympathy that most men circulated on the Internet-driving home to the downstairs and sitting in the car for a long time. They may light the last cigarette, or they may finish listening to the unfinished song, or they may just want to rest in a daze in the car. In short, there are many reasons to stay in the car for a while. Many people coincidentally said that there is such a special "little hobby" because it is a demarcation point. When you push the door, you are the firewood,...

      Meaningless life

      The ultimate form of micro-disconnection ~ Like "127 Hours", it focuses on portraying the various feelings in the process. Of course, everything must have a cause and effect, and there must be a value of existence. The basis of this play should be to peek after the loss of connection. When you are a husband when your wife is not there, you are a father when your daughter is not, and your last influence in the world is about to be wiped out, the protagonist can’t sit still and must show up~...

      The reason why the male protagonist jumped out of "hidden in the dark to spy on his wife, abandoned his original identity, and detached himself from the outside world and returned to his family quickly is not the tears of his wife, nor the indifference of the whole world to his disappearance, his children and friends. His attitude stimulates him (he should have realized this long ago after living for so many years), but he does not want his friends (who are rivals in love) to take advantage of...

      It's like accompanying a middle-aged crisis person who won a drama, spent more than ten months on a soul searching journey, and listened to him talking to himself throughout the whole process. The content of the two-minute trailer was played repeatedly for two...

      I like Hawthorne's short story Wakefield very much. It's simple, but it makes people memorable. It's like a blank space in an ink painting. It's very interesting. This film basically renews the story and fills in the blank spaces. It is too full, too rational and boring, so that the film has nothing new, but destroys the charm of the story...

    Movie quotes

    • Howard Wakefield: Suburban life, so much is the same, week after week. Who hasn't had the impulse to put their life on hold for a moment, just vanish completely?

    • Howard Wakefield: Oh my god, Ben Jacobs. Oh, yes, yes, yes, here we go. Coffee and cookies, come on in. He's going to need some whitener for his coffee, Diane. 'Uh, you don't have any soy milk do you?' Of course she's got soy milk. She's got everything. Please, Ben, please tell her about your tragic lactose intolerance, all the bloating and flatulence. Ah, aha, a little pro bono work on behalf of the firm. How nice of you. 'I'm impressed with my attorney, Bernie. I'm impressed with his influential friends. He's got very big connections and I follow his directions.' You know, I never used to sing. I think that's worth noting.

    • Howard Wakefield: How far am I willing to let this go?
