A trip to face the coldness of self

Similar to the plot of "Elisabeth Town", the male protagonist returns home to participate in the funeral when encountering the seemingly irresistible low tide in his life, and starts a process of love, searching, and facing himself by the way. However, the content of this earlier work is much deeper and more interesting than that of Yipian.

Perhaps it was those high school and childhood playmates in the actor's hometown that made people feel cordial. They mixed up with a living job in their hometown, and then faced a peaceful and boring life, looking for fun and outlets.

When the protagonist met Natalie Portman, who was also slightly neurotic but slender due to his illness, during the short four-day journey, as his companion went around in the town, he untied the childhood knot that caused depression. It is plain and plain, but it shows a kind of post-middle class, very warm but not sticky feeling in the most detail.

The (indie) music in the film is also very nice, and it's a big push!

In addition, Zach Braff, who is an editor and director, is too obvious to try his own intentions :P

    It's like you feel homesick for a place that doesn't even exist.
