"The Jacket"

person said that there is no life after death, and this sentence was not confirmed by Jack Starks, played by Adrien Brody. The child who was shot in the head in the Gulf War survived but suffered from amnesia. He was kindly picked up by a passing driver, but was framed and killed by the highway police.

There was no argument in the courtroom, and intermittent clips flashed over his head like a marquee. Amnesia is like a talisman for him, the crime is unavoidable, and the punishment is unavoidable, so he was sent to the mental hospital for treatment and observation. Unexpectedly, he could escape the death penalty but end up in hell.

The radical psychiatrist treated him with a treatment that was banned in the 1970s. He put on a khaki jacket that tied his hands and feet, like fish on a knife and was sent into a dark iron cabinet that looked like a corpse was parked. The unknown liquid injected creates an unexplainable force in his body. He came to 2007 and met a girl who had been rescued in the wilderness. He fell in love and learned that he had already died in the nursing home that year.

Every time he put on the jacket for therapy, he made one more trip to the future. He began to figure out why he died, and even found a psychiatrist who specialized in treating him and a female doctor who tried to help him many times.

He helped the little girl in 1992 to avoid the danger of being buried in the fire with her mother, and he helped the female doctor to avoid misdiagnosing epilepsy as a mental disorder, but he could not help the fact that she had died.

Actually, I don't know what to say.

Probably started to like Adrien Brody from "Battlefield". The isolated geology, the towering nose bridge that was interrupted, the pale complexion, and the melancholy temperament undoubtedly hit my liking. Later, he found "The Jacket", but the scenes of wounded soldiers at the beginning of the war were often unable to support the scenes in which he extended a helping hand to orphans and widows in the wilderness.

Watching a movie is like a sleep challenge for me, no matter the subject matter, even the best movies are sometimes just sleep for me.

I'm not very enthusiastic, because I know that if "the only hope a man has after he dies is to come back." (from The Jacket), I'm going to hit the play button again. The phrase "How much time we have?" is left for me to think about when I wake up, I remember.

    This movie is so plane and so weird... Brody's acting is really good~ Alas, the script is really... If only it were better... well, just treat it as its own independent production ... Craig has a lot of surprises. It's really not easy to go from a super frustrated man in a mental hospital to 007~

    20110630 kyxq A low-cost, but very warm and touching film, don't read spoilers before watching the movie. There are slightly more threads in the front, and the irrelevant background makes people feel jumped. Perhaps due to space limitations, this destined love was told in a hurry, and it would be better if there were more descriptions. But the final sunshine proved that a lot of things should be turning for the better. The male protagonist's face looks more and more like "囧". 3 stars and a half dozen 3
