The movie I recommend today is "Manchester by the Sea", which is known as the best picture of the Oscars for mourning.
Watching the whole film, it is indeed surprisingly depressing, fully reflecting human nature, very natural and unpretentious kind, whoever looks at it can resonate.
At the beginning of the film, it shows a taciturn man, Li, who shuttles between houses to do the work of repairing water pipes and toilets, and rarely communicates with people.
Later, in the face of the harsh difficulties of a female owner, I thought he would always be silent and tolerant, but the result was to directly explode his emotions, and then he drank in the bar and got drunk, heard others talk about him, and went up to fight with people to vent his emotions. It feels like there are two extreme personalities, switching quickly between silence and sudden rage, without a little buffer.
One day, after learning of his brother Joey's death, Lee returned to his hometown, Manchester by the sea, to deal with Joey's aftermath.
According to Joey's will, Lee will become the guardian of Joey's son, Patrick, who plans to bring Patrick back to Boston, but it is clear that Patrick is not willing to leave his hometown and friends, but Lee is also unwilling to stay in this sad place for long.
Slowly following the film, it turns out that Manchester is buried with a desperate memory of Lee.
He was a cheerful man with many wine and meat friends, with three lovely children and a virtuous wife, and if there had been no fire, in his wife's harbor, he would have been as immature but happy as a child, but there was no if.
The fire caused by his negligence engulfed his house as well as his three children, and his wife fainted in pain, unable to forgive his mistake and chose to divorce him.
Overnight, he lost almost everything he had, and what made him most desperate was that he was the one who started the disaster! In the police station, he looked lightly and asked if he could go home, and the next second he grabbed the pistol from the policeman's waist and collapsed to the point of suicide.
Since then, his heart has been punishing him, causing him to fall into the pain of being unable to extricate himself, and then choosing to leave the town for self-exile.
Manchester and the Sea are the memories of Pat and Joey, and even though the sea took Joey's life, Pat was reluctant to sell the ship of memories.
In the thick snow of winter, the small town of Manchester is also like a huge freezer, and the food in the refrigerator is both a shadow that has been planted in his heart.
A middle-aged man who suddenly encounters a big family change, no matter how social he usually is, will find it difficult to reconcile with himself.
The film does not want to deliberately express anything, nor does it deliberately sublimate some high-level things, that is, it is very calm to write about the sudden encounter of a middle-aged man, but the audience will feel that there is a sense of high-level, and the last thing the film should be deliberate.
