"Reign Over Me" is my type, I'm the kind of person who doesn't cry on weekdays, but needs to bring a tissue or a towel when it comes to movies and TV. Weird!
The movie is based on 911. I imagine that time flies so fast. On September 11, 2001, nearly 8 years have passed in the blink of an eye. 8 years? !
Eight years is long enough for those of us who have not been there to leave the impact or pain of the disaster beyond the sky. However, eight years seems not long enough for those who have been hurt in the disaster to come out of their inner shadows completely.
Chalie is one of them who is still in the cloudy day.
He rides Scooter every day, wears headphones, collects vinyl records, works as a drummer at the bar, plays video games at home, keeps remodeling the kitchen...no friends, no Language communication, completely living in a safe world created by oneself.
Allen seems to have a happy family and a rich income, but he is under great depression and feels that he has lost himself.
In fact, it is true that everyone is more or less mentally ill.
Compared to Chalie's tragic loss of his wife and children, Allen's problems seem trivial.
But in fact, when faced with psychological distress, everyone will suffer great pain and suffering.
The story makes them meet. They are former college roommates. When Allen discovers Chalie's autistic tendencies, he hopes that he can help him out of the haze. Riding a skateboard together, playing electric games together, watching an all-night movie together, and giving a concert for two people at home together...
I was very moved to see two people playing a concert at home. I don't know, but I can feel what it is like A catharsis and joy!
Gradually, Chalie trusted Allen as a friend, and slowly began to face her own problems.
Didn't like the ending part of the movie. Why were those people in court so aggressively provoking him? Why did his in-laws insist on putting him in a mental hospital?
His parents-in-law kept saying that they were his only relatives, but completely ignored his feelings. It was the homeowner who claimed to be a "witch" in court who handed Chalie the earphones for a moment of silence!
I also don't like the fact that Saffron Burrows is arranged to enter his world so quickly at the end, it's so unreasonable!
I was wondering if Chalie tried to kill himself after he first told Allen a story he never dared to face,
would it be a relief for him if the police actually shot him at that time? Is it good for him to force him to come out of his own safe world? ...
sometimes the life we think is good for others is not necessarily what they want, or what is right for them! It's really what he wants to do from his heart.
It really takes a lot of mental strength and courage to come out of this kind of pain, and you can start anew from the heart.
