A good idea, but a mistake in the context of 911. The insignificance of characters and the tragic nature of events are minimized under that famous disaster. In fact, such stories, such sinking, are not uncommon in daily life. The tragedy in ordinary life is the most tragic.
Charlie obviously has a psychological problem, but Alan also has it, and the problem is not light. Allen's process of helping Charlie is also a process of healing himself. In fact, the beauty of the film is to make this arrangement. Unfortunately, at the beginning, Allen's problems and family conflicts were exposed one by one, but in the second half, the writer and director seemed to have forgotten his problems or lost interest. Only in the end, abruptly, Allen opened his heart to his wife, which made people very inexplicable. All the details of the conflicts, developments Allen experienced are missing.
After the first half, the plot went too fast, and it was also reflected in Charlie. Things took a turn for the worse, and at the end, Charlie's move out lacked a reasonable process psychological change.
If you had to choose a movie as a template to tell people what kind of helping people is not advisable, this is it. In this film, all people care about is themselves, the tragedies and stories of others, they are only used to sympathize, to make themselves feel good, to give themselves a chance to look down on others, to show their selfless love, and to release their own excuses. . Allen, Charlie's parents-in-law, and counselor (male).
Can only say, unfortunately, this should be a good film.
