What are afraid of?

Everything starts from a scene similar to a monologue.
The girl's disdainful tone gave people a kind of coldness.
The tempo of the movie is very slow, and the trivial plot of the movie shows the director's clumsiness.

This is a group of injured people.
Reese was ignored because of the breakdown of his parents' relationship and lost his happy childhood.
Corbit is an extremely inferior and vulnerable big boy who has been living in the shadow of failure.
Shelly lost her right to be a woman, and got Don's help and stayed with him.
Don's relationship broke down because of the different values ​​from his wife, and retired because of his wife's departure.

They are also a group of people who are not good at expressing, each living in their own web weaved.
Reese is always evading and avoiding family affection, so that he would rather sit alone when he sees the joyous scene of family.
For a broken Rock dream, Corbit stayed at home all day to play with his gitar.
Shelly never talks about her personal affairs. Even though she lives in the same room with Corbit, Corbit
never knows her past.
The elderly Don is actually not old, but regrets his wife who committed suicide.

But everything feels destined to be the same.
When a joke is Reese said: "
If you compete with two typewriters attention, your self-esteem are not being met."
But Shelly's words but speaks of Reese's heart: "
. So you become an actor,"
When Reese said: "Your second plan is really cool."
In fact, Corbit has always been like this.

The following conflicts and contradictions tore the nets of these people bit by bit.
They argue, they collide,...
In the winter, each of them wants to put aside their past and welcome a brand new moment.
Some want to bury their books, but they may leave more regrets.
Some want to hide their medicine bottles to make them look healthy.
Some people stay in front of the window for a long time, reminiscing about their miserable childhood in the psychedelic of cigarettes.
Finally, they understood each other and spent the winter together.

What're you afraid of?
Nothing.

[The music in the film is very charming and reminds me of the music in Good will's hunting.
A touch of warmth, a touch of voice, a touch of sadness, a touch of thought...]

Winter Passing quotes

  • Reese Holdin: For some reason I imagine you as an only child growing up in some vast, impenetrable mansion with turrets, Daddy modeling perpetual tennis wear, Mum playing badminton and having biscuits and tea on the front lawn. Why don't you go back to Narnia or wherever the fuck you're from and leave my dad alone?

  • Shelley: Now trying to get a paragraph out of him is like pulling a piano out of a pond.
