But the film tells a desperate story, Lee Chandler returned to his hometown with the death of his brother, and his memories also emerged, it turned out that he had burned his three children to death due to a mistake, and since then he has gone to his hometown and blocked his heart, this time he came back to meet many deceased people, and also met his ex-wife who forgave himself, but at the end of the film he still failed to forgive himself and left this sad place again.
I have seen a lot of memories-themed movie sharing bacteria, but such a desperate movie as this film has never been encountered, and the male protagonist in the film, Lee Chandler, has a tough appearance and a deep melancholy temperament, attracting a lot of women, but he has been closing his heart, and others can do nothing even if they want to break in.
Although this film is a tragedy, the artistry of the film is very high, the most attractive is his bond with his nephew, the two met because of a death, at first the male protagonist has been enlightening the nephew, but with the appearance of the male protagonist's memories and seeing his brother let himself be a guardian for the nephew after the male protagonist's emotions began to collapse.
He did not want to stay in this place full of memories, but there was no more suitable guardian for his nephew, so he wanted to sell everything in the local area and leave with his nephew, but the nephew's life was inseparable from Manchester, the band, girlfriend and classmates made it impossible for him to leave, and finally the male protagonist transferred the custody of the nephew to someone else, although some were irresponsible, but this was also the best result for the two.
The biggest highlight of the film is the memory, the main memories are divided into three parts: the memories of Lee and his nephew going to sea with the ship, the nephew's family full of tragedy, Lee's once warm family and the later fire. Lee and his nephew's life have experienced pain, but the nephew survived and began to enjoy his youth, while Lee was forever tormented by memories, and the most painful thing for him was that neither the police nor his ex-wife blamed him, and others were comforting him, which made him feel more guilty.
Sometimes, the suffering experienced by people really can't survive, and not everyone can get strong again, although it is cruel, but it is also a fact.
More rational friends can watch this film, emotional friends are best not to watch, otherwise the mood is easy to have problems.
