The most beautiful arrangement
The lineup of this film is also very strong, the director of "The Queen Wears Prada", and the actors are also familiar faces. Will from Happiness Knocks, Kate from Titanic, Kyra from Pride and Prejudice... I especially like those movies too.
There are also many translations of the title of the film. The mainland is "Affiliated Beauty", but it should not be released. Hong Kong is "The Most Beautiful Arrangement" and Taiwan is "The Most Beautiful Arrangement". The attached beauty is not easy to understand. I still prefer the translation from Taiwan.
Because that is the best arrangement.
The film tells the story of a New York advertising agency whose life has changed dramatically after a series of tragedies. His colleagues and friends have devised a series of unusual and even absurd plans to get him out of the slump,
but the magic is that the plan starts. It worked, and in a way no one had thought of.
I like to express my feelings about the movie with the number of times I cry and the corresponding scene, and the same is true for this movie.
I cried three times, at least three times.
A
mother shares how her child left.
She said her son wanted to go back to their house and was given permission by the nurse. But she didn't understand, because her son was too weak and collapsed, so she shouted at the staff. As a result, his son woke up and she walked towards him.
"Who told you to go back to our house?" (very gentle English!)
"No one."
"We can't go back to our house."
"Mom, I'm not going back to our house, I'm going home, Go back to where I belong.”
Hearing this, I suddenly burst into tears, and the feeling was very deep.
Four hours later, her son left her.
I couldn't cry myself.

I cried when Howard signed the share transfer and the second document.
His friends' plans to get him out of that life were also debunked.
In fact, how could he not understand?
He knows every one of his colleagues because they are not just colleagues but friends. It's just that I can't get out of my own trough, and my heart can't be solved.
He knew, he knew, he just couldn't get rid of it.

super moving
He and she met again, and they recognized each other, which made me both unexpected and moved.
When he met her again, she asked his daughter's name, he couldn't do it, couldn't say it, but he asked her name, like a stranger.
On the second encounter, she asked him.
"Do you still love her?"
"I don't know what love feels like anymore, what about you? Do you still love him?"
"I think we never stopped loving each other. He sent me a letter on the day of the divorce, saying Well, if only we could meet again, I still love him."
He and she did meet again.
But he still didn't want to recognize her, and he didn't want to say his daughter's name.
It wasn't until the end, Christmas Eve, that he went to find her. After three encounters, it was not easy to say his daughter's name, and he finally hugged his wife.
I cried, this is the result I never expected, this is the best result.
That feeling of despair and powerlessness is really pitiful.
Heal each other, meet again, recognize each other, love each other.
so good.
Although this film is not rated highly, there are also bad reviews.
But I really like to cry for the movie and be healed by the movie.
I remembered a sentence that a foreign teacher asked a classmate next to me this morning, "Is your school ranked No.1 in Taiwan?"
Everyone knows that National Taiwan University is the No.1 school in Taiwan.
But the student said something unexpected.
"Maybe it ranked No.1 for some students."
The same is true for this movie. Maybe it's not rated well and has some shortcomings, but in my heart, it is one that I like very much.
May you be healed by this beauty too.
