Is Grace really gone?

To be honest, after watching this film, I feel that the title should not be translated as "Happiness is gone", after this unusual trip, at the funeral, in front of the tombstone, we can say that the happiness of this family has passed away ? ? ? Is Grace really gone? But she is in everyone's heart, in the man's ring, in the agreement between the little daughter and her mother. . . At this point, the sorrow passed away, and another kind of happiness came.
I believe that there is nothing more painful than losing a loved one in this world. As a man, I could have had a very warm life with my wife and children. Although I have no career, everything is ordinary. But the wife left. . . . . .
Not to mention the background of the war in Iraq, I don't like watching a movie in a political context. Movies are touching, but if you have to analyze a movie like an anatomy, or explain it with some philosophical principle, then a movie is no longer a movie. Originally, the film is something that the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom. What kind of knowledge background and what kind of state of mind, there is what kind of perception, there is no need to explain it with any principle or political background.
The whole film is carried out in a depressing atmosphere, especially as the audience, who knows the answer at the beginning of the film. Wife died in the Iraq war (I don't think it is a gimmick to use the Iraq war as the background), is it not the Iraq war, this film is nothing to watch, the film is still touching without the Iraq war background.
In the whole film, there is no hysterical roar after learning the bad news, there is no exaggeration of crying and shouting, and there is only a man's forbearance. Curled up by the bed of the daughters, lying on the bed where his wife once slept, weeping. It's not that men can't cry, it's just that they can't cry in front of their daughters. It's not that men can't be weak, they just can't be weak in front of their relatives.
The little girl has always been naive and naughty, but every time he jumps on the bed happily, he always feels that as a father who knows the truth, his heart is numb at the moment. The eldest daughter always seemed to know what was going on, but every time she asked her dad, he didn't say anything. The whole film is in such a time when a woman knows that her wife will leave forever, and she doesn't know how to tell her daughters, but she has to pretend to accompany her daughters to play in the playground. They are all entangled in the hearts of the audience, depression, depression, have been tugged all the time, and finally vented in tears, despite the sea breeze, the three father and daughter hugged tightly. . . .
When the eldest daughter arrived at the oath, everything was calm, a depressing journey, a journey used to announce the death of her mother, which made the father and daughter understand better. Although a man has lost his wife, he cannot be weak or cry. He wants to live well, and he wants to take good care of his daughter.
Simple and gentle, without any profound ideas, it is an ordinary story, but what you slowly read is the passing of happiness, the passing of sorrow, and another kind of prose poem where happiness is coming.

    The war hurts the family more than the people who fought in the war.

    the difficult truth to be brought after the great happiness... could be the rule of human.

    Heidi Phillips: I don't get it.

    John Phillips: It basically comes down to a gut thing. You just have to be open to allowing for a truth which differs from your own opinions. Or else you'll never actually see the truth at all.
