"Bratt's performance is really great!"
"This movie..."
“This movie will definitely be included in next year’s Oscars!”
……
Professionals in the film industry can fully predict that Bratt's performance will have a huge impact at the Washington Film Festival and the Oscars!
He grabbed the pistol from the police station and pointed it decisively at his head.
Then to the phone call with his ex-wife, the painful, awkward and sad performance makes the hair of current movie fans go numb.
……
Joe's funeral was held as scheduled.
Those who had ever interacted with Joe were all gathered here.
Randy showed up with his new husband and embraced the man he once loved most.
The movie here has no lines, instead a high-pitched female voice sings. This hug does not mean that the pain of the past has been healed, but that the scars have been untied again, and both of them have their own sorrows.
When the "noise" of the funeral was over, Lee and Patrick returned home.
But faced with Li's request to move, Patrick refused.
Here, there are Patrick's girlfriends, friends, everything familiar, and the warmth of his father's life.
And "Manchester by the Sea", the first true point of tears, appeared on this night.
That night, Patrick was a little hungry and came to the kitchen to look for something. But when Patrick opened the refrigerator door, the frozen meat inside fell out. Patrick gasped and hurriedly closed the refrigerator door.
Patrick thought of his father, who was still in the icehouse and had not yet been buried.
At this moment, the extreme sadness instantly broke down the defense line that Patrick had been pretending to be strong these days. When Uncle Li rushed to the refrigerator, Patrick could no longer suppress the sadness of his father's death, and he covered his chest and burst into tears!
"I don't know..."
"I don't know..."
"I don't know!"
No matter what his uncle said to him, Patrick always answered with tears.
This scene once again made the fans in the theater burst into tears, and their hearts felt as if they were being pinched!
In the face of real extreme sadness, people will remain calm as never before, but they will suddenly explode after an unknown number of days.
Movie fans can all appreciate this!
The sudden death of a loved one can make people so numb, especially men, that they cannot shed a single tear.
……
The moment a loved one dies is usually not a particularly sad moment.
What really makes people feel sad is opening the half carton of milk in the refrigerator, the green basket fluttering in the wind on the window sill, and the quilt quietly folded on the bed
Any items that evoke emotions at home will make people burst into tears and be so sad that they can't help themselves. Later, they will even wake up from their dreams countless nights, crying heart-breakingly, with tears streaming down their face, and their heart is like a knife.
When Patrick was his father, there was almost no change from before, but this numbness was covered by extreme pain. When this moment suddenly broke out, anyone with feelings would find it difficult not to be touched!
Lee stayed with his grieving nephew until Patrick fell asleep.
No matter how many years they have not seen each other, Li and Patrick are the closest people to each other in the world.
The depressing atmosphere rendered by the movie was not released with Patrick's crying this time, but continued this rhythm.
Even if Patrick no longer wants to move away, there is no way Li can live here anymore.
Every minute and every second he spent here, seeing the beautiful scenery outside the window, Li's mood was extremely depressed. Even his breathing became rapid, and he punched the glass with a punch, causing blood to drip from the blow!
Every minute and every second he spends in this small town, Li will recall the fire, the mistakes he made, the three dead children and the beautiful life he once had. ……
How can a movie become a classic?
Empathy is the key.
Every emotion between Lee and Patrick was vividly performed by the two actors. The audience's emotions completely followed the characters in the movie.
If you turn on the lights in the theater at this moment, you will definitely find that whether they are professional film professionals or ordinary movie fans, their expressions are very similar at this moment. They all frown slightly, keep silent, and look attentive. Some fans even With tears.
Although Lee doesn't want Patrick to return to the woman who was an alcoholic, irresponsible, and abandoned his brother and Patrick.
But Patrick's strong will still made Li agree to reunite Xiaopa and his mother.
But beautiful pictures never stop in imagination.
The happiness of Patrick's reunion with his mother only lasted for a few seconds.
The current mother is full of hostility towards Patrick who suddenly breaks into his life.
As for his mother, she was also a little unfamiliar because of what she had experienced in the past. She had a new life and was not ready to accept Patrick at all.
In this way, everything comes back to Lee and Patrick.
Once, when Li had just returned to the town to deal with his brother's funeral, he insisted on selling the fishing boat and returning to Boston to live with Patrick.
But Patrick was unwilling. This fishing boat carried all of Patrick's good memories, including those with his father and uncle.
Li looked at his nephew who was confused about the future and made a decision.
That is to sell his guns, replace the fishing boat with a new engine, and go to sea again.
"How about I sell these guns and buy a new engine for your ship?"
At this moment, Patrick finally smiled.
……
"This scene is amazing..."
"No matter how bad his life is, Li still pretends to be Patrick!"
"This is family love."
Seeing this scene, the movie fans in the theater felt their eyes moist again.
Li saw that Patrick was very hurt by his biological mother, and gave Patrick the family comfort he needed most!
How can such an uncle-nephew relationship not be touching?
Along with the brisk music, this fishing boat with a new "heart" went out to sea again.
This is not only a comfort to Patrick, but also a rare comfort in life for Lee himself.
Seeing the back of Patrick having fun with his young girlfriend on the fishing boat, Li sat on the fishing boat and finally showed a bright smile.
Fans can't remember it clearly, but in their impression, this seems to be the first smile Li showed in the entire movie, except for memories.
Until this scene, thousands of movie fans took a deep breath in this depressing film!
This should be the most beautiful scene in the entire film, other than memories.
For a moment, the audience even thought that Li had emerged from the shadow of his past.
