    it's really an award-winning movie, but just not my type

    20121016jtl is so traditional and straightforward, rarely seen in Hollywood. The narrative of each fragment of life is interspersed with a little humor. The performance is unassuming, and the heroine Shirley has a rich level of performance, which is very good in performing a mother who has been alone for many years and loves her daughter. Nicholson's iconic smirk. Perhaps because of empathy, although the ending was not sensational, it was moved almost to tears. Death divides each other, but love allows us to continue to exist.
