from the heart

A few days ago in a car, on a road between two cities, a greyhound crossed the road diagonally. The driver slightly reduced his speed. Unfortunately, he pressed it on. As I was sitting in the car, I felt the car bump violently. I didn't look back, but I don't think the dog will survive. The driver ran all the way, and after driving more than ten kilometers, he said with a smile, fortunately, he was not stopped by the dog owner, otherwise he would have to pay a fortune.

Accidental accidents are normal, and impulsive excesses are understandable. However, in this day and age, I see no real confession. All my reflections on mistakes, I only see the real needs behind them. Yao Jiaxin, my father is Li Gang, and there are many embezzled officials who are heartbroken in front of the camera. Only the performances, the performances that cater to the masses, are clumsy to the point of disgust. If there is a little repentance from the heart, it is also from what has been lost.

What makes everything so false?

    Sisberg's narrative style is as plain as boiling water in "The Destruction of an Empire", the procrastination at the end greatly reduces the film, and Griffin's inner monologue pretends to be a tone. Compared to "The Destruction of an Empire", this movie is really,,,

    In fact, they are all victims of society. They are short and precise, and in the end I feel quite relieved.

Five Minutes of Heaven quotes

  • Joe Griffin: 2008: So! The man shot my brother three times in the head. The man is having the life of Riley. What should I do? Do I shake his hand or do I kill him?

    Vika - 2008: Well, killing him wouldn't be good for him.

    Joe Griffin: 2008: For sure of that!

    Vika - 2008: But it wouldn't be good for you either.

    Joe Griffin: 2008: Oh, not good for me? My five minutes of heaven? How would that be not good for me?

  • Alistair Little: [to interviewer] Guilty if I laugh. Guilty if I drink. Guilty if I forget. How to get through a day. What to do in it. I wake up, I go out. But where to go? He's always there. In my head. And I don't know where to go. Where to put yourself after it all. It's the same for everyone. Some of us have found an answer. He's killed a few Catholics in his time. and now he's killing his own. Some protection thing to control the estate. Released after the Good Friday Agreement, he's on top of the world again, still living it, just like he always was, with his mates watching his back, breathing in the scent of his victories.

    Alistair Little: If I had gone with him then, just said yes to him then... That's all I had to do, just tell him I was in. I know that isn't my answer, but what *is* my answer, you know? I sit in meeting rooms all over the world and I help men to live with what they've done to a wife, a child, a stranger, a neighbor - how to live with that act of violence. That's, you know, always there inside us. But I can't help myself. Sometimes I feel that this preacher is just the man I've become so that I can cheat my way through my life.
