we all got little problem

Confused, confused, overwhelmed, and so on. When you are alive, you will always encounter any of them suddenly, just like you suddenly walked into a big forest with a mysterious wall, and your heart has lost its way and has been circling in circles.

Not many people are able to balance these kinds of negative emotions after a contusion very well. Some people don't know how to talk, and some people can't talk. I always think that comforting others is a very painful and difficult thing, because emotions are always regulated by individuals, and the strength of others is in the final analysis. Your importance to take on some channel of catharsis. And does everyone have their own outlet? The answer is that many don't and don't know.

As a doctor, Alan is very kind, caring about everyone's thoughts, and very considerate. In other words, he is a man who doesn't know how to say no, and he is a man who is not good at expressing himself. He seemed to live a very happy life, a decent job, a happy family, but he always dreamed of "sitting on a motorboat" and he was alone.

A man who used to like to sleep naked, a man who used to have a very happy family and a poodle. One day, he suddenly lost all his relatives. The huge disaster bruised him, and the huge pain he couldn't heal himself, so he got autism and depression. All the things he wanted to do with his relatives, he chose to pretend that they didn't exist, and he deceived himself to live in his own world. Redecorating the kitchen once a month, and playing games of certain monsters day and night in front of a huge screen while staying at home. Riding his electric scooter around the city, he must wear his MP4 where there is a voice, and the sound is loudest. This man, he's Charlie, he isolates himself.

Have you ever seen yourself in the two of them? There are many things that we can't say and things that we can't refuse. More and more, they are squeezed together, without resolving this pressure. People can no longer say anything, because you feel that the other party may not understand if you say it, and you are tired of explaining anything. Then you are Alan.

If the problem cannot be solved, I don’t think about it, I don’t want to hear it, I don’t even want someone to mention it, I hide and pretend that the problem doesn’t exist. We are Charlie this time.

The film ends well, with Charlie looking for a way of life that suits him. Just let it be. We should do the same, find an outlet for you to vent, find a way for you to release your negative emotions, even if it's weird and boring, or even if you only dare to think about it but never do it. (I didn't let you do anything illegal)

Just to live better for your heart.

    The two protagonists have sad faces, making people irresistible~ When Charlie, who lost his wife and daughter in despair and autism, met Alan, who was lost in a small self-space, two men who were also trapped in family problems miraculously healed each other. , I am so lucky to have such a friendship! The songs in it are also well matched~ The pain that I can cry and tell is not the deepest~ Pretending to forget is the most painful... 4

    The music is good....well I admit I was doing two things at the time and doing something else while watching it. Looking at it intermittently, I don't understand. Adam Sandler's performance reminded me naturally of Jim Carrey in "Loveless." It's all comedians trying to act in a serious drama. The performances were also quite successful.

Reign Over Me quotes

  • Charlie Fineman: [Charlie, Alan and Nigel are all eating at a diner. Charlie is well aware of what Nigel really is; a therapist. He continues to ask questions toward Nigel] I noticed in the record store, you were holding up a Bob Seger album. You a Seger man, Nigel?

    Nigel Pennington: [Brief pause] Love Seger, yes.

    Charlie Fineman: Yeah. Smokin' O.p's, Mongrel... When'd you get into him?

    Nigel Pennington: [Looks down and looks back at Charlie] Probably later.

    Charlie Fineman: Silver Bullet, or Seger System?

    Nigel Pennington: Well, actually, I-I don't like either of those albums.

    Charlie Fineman: That's funny, 'cause they're not albums. Those are his bands.

    [Alan looks down at the realization that Charlie knows Nigel is a therapist and that Nigel lied to him]

    Charlie Fineman: Seger's an artist. A genius. An American original. And what are *you*, Nigel? A therapist? Is that it? You're sizing me up. You're on the case, now you're gonna *fix* me?

    Nigel Pennington: No, look, I was out for a... a nice afternoon; I ran into my old friend...

    Charlie Fineman: Oh, bullshit! You *stink* like a shrink. You got shrink hands. You ordered your salad like a shrink.

    Alan Johnson: Okay, let's stop. This was my mistake.

    Nigel Pennington: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, this is good.

    Alan Johnson: No, no, it was my mista...

    Nigel Pennington: No, a-a-a-and... how does a shrink order his salad?

    Alan Johnson: Don't, Nigel.

    Nigel Pennington: In your opinion, I'd like to know.

    Charlie Fineman: [Immediately stands off his chair and confronts Nigel. He tightens his hands, and tenses his shoulders as he stands over him] Let's go outside right now. I'm gonna beat your ass. I will BEAT your ass, shrink wrap!

    [People in the diner wearily look over]

    Charlie Fineman: "Seger fan?" You'd get you ass kicked in a fucking Seger concert!

    Alan Johnson: Charlie - !

    Charlie Fineman: Get the fuck up! Get up! I made you in the record store the minute I saw your dorky face. OUTSIDE!

    Alan Johnson: Okay, Charlie. Calm down.

    Charlie Fineman: [Charlie's breath becomes heavy after unleashing his rage toward Nigel. He looks at Alan and stares at him; it was then that he realized, Alan planned the whole meeting with Nigel. Feeling betrayed and lied to, he makes his way out of the diner by storming through the now silent eatery] You liar!

    [He then swung the glass door open and left]

  • Alan Johnson: [Leaving Angela's office] You OK?

    Charlie Fineman: Yeah. Just make sure they never schedule me near that girl, all right? I would... No, it's just I never wanna see her again. That's trouble. She's too good-looking. I just... Nobody has a right to look that good. She's just trouble for everybody.

    Alan Johnson: [laughing] OK, Charlie.
