Love is both instinct and ability, and there is nothing without it.

A family injury caused by French toast being thrown into the sink.

Everyone got hurt.

What kind of experience is it for a family drama to empathize with three and a half characters?

Don't do that to youself.

The young man is so behaved, he is still honest even in the mud. Do your best and speak well. In the only remaining social interactions, I used the few remaining mental energy to maintain decency and upbringing, as well as hope for the world.

Even in the dark, he still maintains a trace of introspection and self-examination, and there is still a gap in the world deep in his heart. This is probably closely related to the atmosphere of the whole family.

Maybe this can be used as a proof of a positive ending for this open end.

____________

You are not strong.

It's not that after the mother leaves, there will be changes. Maybe there is, maybe not.

It doesn't matter. Who said that mothers must love their children? She just doesn't love it. It took two full hours to tell, and it was a story she didn't love until the last scene.

Love is an instinct as well as an ability.

If there is no, there will be no.

If you admit it, let yourself go;

Once confessed, let go of the others in the close relationship.

Everyone has pain, and it is good to heal each other. If not, find a way to get along with each other. The beginning of the story is a deformed balance broken by suicide; the end of the story is the possibility of a new balance brought about by departure.

__________

I don't know who you are.

The story can still be read like this.

A middle-class family lost a son who was developing along the middle-class road in a dangerous movement that belonged to the middle-class label.

A well-educated son who has experienced accidents and the guilt of survivors, a decent job, a mature and stable husband who has experienced the double stress of parent-child love, and a socially adept, stubborn, and neurotic mother.

If you look at it with the thinking of this era, you will inevitably wear a filter and cause a lot of dissatisfaction.

For example, no person or class is nothing but a grain of sand in a long river;

For another example, the gender has been changed, and there have been over ten thousand comments.

_____________

Anyway, it happens.

Well, I wish, every piece of gravel, after seeing the sun and tasting the rain and dew, can be peaceful and smooth, become shale buried in the beautiful mountains and green waters; and become a mass on the beach. The fine sand, watch the stars move and turn; then go to the desert, see the sunset over the river, and the lonely smoke in the desert.

People never grow on an isolated island, but for many times, people are an isolated island.

___________

A touch is a real touch, and a story is a good story.

    080929 The story of an ordinary family's love gap, very plain and touching

  • Reagan 2022-04-22 07:01:32

    The content is similar to that of "Mrs. Kramer" (the film's previous best Oscar film), reflecting the family conflicts in the American middle-class family, and deeply depicting the feelings and gaps between family members, but it doesn't feel as good as Kramer's. The couple is more moving, maybe this one is more Americanized

Ordinary People quotes

  • Calvin "Cal" Jarrett: Well, don't admire people too much. They'll disappoint you sometimes.

  • Jeannine: Can you ever break the ball?

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett: You can't break the ball. Can't break the floor. Can't break anything in a bowling alley. And that's what I like about bowling alleys. Can't even break the record.
