now is the best

I almost missed such a great movie!
I was surprised that I asked many friends who love watching movies, but everyone didn't know the existence of this movie. If it weren't for Nicholas' reckoning I would have missed it too.
Watching the 2000 film in 2014, is it too harsh to say old-fashioned.
I haven't watched the whole movie yet, but I can't help but write about my excitement.

We all know the development, and we all know the ending, starting from seeing Nicholas waking up in bed with a bewildered look on his face.
This must be a very old-fashioned, very sweet story. It is nothing more than a conceited and empty rich man who realized the warmth of his family and finally changed his three views.

But it's not here that I am moved.
If we have all made choices about our lives, and we have all experienced different lives brought about by different choices like the protagonists, is the life we ​​are living now the best life we ​​have ever chosen?

Life is full of ups and downs, and if it was like that then it might be completely different now. Full of regret and melancholy. If I used to study hard maybe I could go to England now. Or if I had been studying hard then maybe something bad happened in England and I ended up asking God to give me another chance to just be a normal person.

Before it happened, I couldn't help but think, my life, if something happened, I might be a very good character! I don't want to say that the pursuit of blandness is the same as the big melody, but perhaps, what we are living now is the best version we choose.

    Nightmare is good, love NMB love, masochism! The two babies are really cute, but it's a pity that the little girl has black eyes, and the husband and wife both have blue eyes. How could it be possible... I'm sorry, I have an occupational disease again! A thousand words, giving up love for career, even regret is beautiful when looking back; giving up career for love, looking back is full of grievances and resentments! Poor and lowly married couple

    The nic is very good, the heroine is very good, their daughter, that little girl, is also very good at acting, and the girl's English pronunciation is also very interesting. A film that explores the value orientation of life, what is the most important thing in life? The male protagonist in the film is very lucky and has the opportunity to recover the love he missed 13 years later. In reality, there is no second chance in life, and only one choice.

The Family Man quotes

  • Kate: When you got on that plane, I was sure it was over. I left the airport afraid I'd never see you again. And then you showed up the very next day. That was a good surprise. You know, I think about the decision you made... maybe I was being naive, but I believed that we would grow old together in this house. That we'd spend holidays here and have our grandchildren come visit us here. I had this image of us, all grey and wrinkly, and me working in the garden and you re-painting the deck. But things change. If you need this, Jack, if you really need this, I will take these kids from a life they love and I'll take myself from the only home we've ever shared together and I'll move wherever you need to go. I'll do that because I love you. I love you, and that's more important to me than our address. I choose us.

    Jack: We have a house in Jersey. We have two kids, Annie and Josh. Annie's not much of a violin player, but she tries real hard. She's a little precocious, but that's only because she says what's on her mind. And when she smiles... And Josh, he has your eyes. He doesn't say much, but we know he's smart. He's always got his eyes open, he's always watching us. Sometimes you can look at him and you just know he's learning something new. It's like witnessing a miracle. The house is a mess but it's ours. After 122 more payments, it's going to be ours. And you, you're a non-profit lawyer. That's right, you're completely non-profit, but that doesn't seem to bother you. And we're in love. After 13 years of marriage we're still unbelievably in love. You won't even let me touch you until I've said it. I sing to you. Not all the time, but definitely on special occasions. We've dealt with our share of surprises and made a lot of sacrifices but we've stayed together. You see, you're a better person than I am. And it made me a better person to be around you. I don't know, maybe it was just all a dream. Maybe I went to bed one lonely night in December and I imagined it all. But I swear, nothing has ever felt more real. And if you get on that plane right now, it'll disappear forever. I know we could both go on with our lives and we'd both be fine, but I've seen what we could be like together. And I choose us. Please, Kate. One cup of coffee. You can always go to Paris. Just, please, not tonight.

    Kate: Ok, Jack.
