Realistic helplessness and human struggle

It is really rare to have such a good story, such a touching and touching story. Over the years, only "The Life of David Gore" has really touched my heart (in fact, that film should be translated as "The Life or Life of David Gore").

There is a three-story series of "Inception", but also a reflection of the real world, real human nature and the helplessness behind it.

Clay should be the protagonist in the second story. In fact, he has been living in pain and self-blame all the time. Even if the old man dies and no one can overturn the case, he will bury the original manuscript, but deep down in his heart, he still has some doubts about it. The shadow, especially when daniella commented on Rory, actually touched the sore spot in Clay's heart. I think that when Clay was defending himself at the end, he suddenly touched the depths of his inner soul - those things that were buried deep in his heart, and he was unwilling to reveal and unable to forgive himself (actually, when Clay went to the old man, it showed the truth). He is still a kind person in essence), and suddenly realized that everything in front of him, including the young beauty who is willing to take the initiative to dedicate himself, is not worth the "I'm sorry" that he wants to say deep in his heart. The reality has given Clay a rich reward, but Clay is still unable to face the invisible pressure brought by the old man. I think the author (or director) expresses the helplessness of reality here (you can live well by cheating the world), but life is also fair ("you take the words, you take the pain"). The two sides of human nature and the struggle of human nature are vividly displayed.

Rory and celia are so beautiful, the scene of them dancing in the square after they got married almost got me hooked. The music at the end is extremely sad, especially the piano part.

I really hope we can make a story like this. I think the writer, director, actors, and all the people behind the scenes are all working hard to make this film. It's just that the world is too impetuous now, and everyone is more willing to watch intense action movies or lighthearted funny movies (of course, these are good, and I'd love to watch them too). However, we still need something with depth, something that can really be passed down, something that can really move people, and it is human nature. I don’t know why, I insist on that.

    If you have never really set foot in the field of writing and creation, then you will never understand the madness of sleepless nights and food when the inspiration blows out and the loss of soul after encountering a bottleneck, and you will not understand why a writer can regard his own writing and his own work as What is more important than love and life, you will not understand this feeling. There is another sentence, once the work is written, it will no longer belong to you. True, In every way.

    Three and a half stars, smooth melodrama, not much else, but damn Jeremy Irons can bring it
