The film tells a poignant story. The male protagonist, Lee Chandler, is a taciturn man, but he is not always the same. When he was young, Chandler was passionate and energetic, and his life was also very successful, and this promising young man had been very loving after marrying his girlfriend, and he also had three innocent and cute children, and the family was very happy.
But the good times did not last long, and Chandler's wife and children all died in a fire, and none of them survived. What is even more painful is that it was Chandler himself who caused the accident. Anyone who experiences such a thing will be in pain, and so will Chandler, who has since given up his original good life and has been doing hard physical labor day after day, hoping to heal the pain in his heart with physical fatigue.
Misfortune is not a one-way street, but a blessing is not a double. On a normal day, Chandler suddenly received a phone call, and the other end of the phone told him bad news: his brother, who had been close to him since childhood, had died, leaving Chandler's little nephew alone. When Chandler heard the news, his heart was very painful, but there was only indifference on his face, and the pain and stimulation of these years had polished him into a moody man.

Chandler returned home to deal with his brother's funeral, at which point Chandler was told that because he was the closest person to the child, the court decided to sentence him as the guardian of his young nephew. Chandler accepted numbly.
After meeting his nephew, he slowly began to understand the child, this time he found that this is a handsome, handsome, very beautiful child, he not only has excellent grades, but also the main player of the school ice hockey team, even the popularity is also very good, has his own life and dreams. But even in the face of such a wonderful child, Chandler was still unmoved, and he coldly demanded that the child return to his own Boston with him so that he could assume the responsibility of guardian.
However, the child was not willing to follow him, and he was nostalgic for everything here. After several conflicts, the child still followed Chandler away.
Life in Boston, everything was very strange, and at first, Chandler's nephew felt very uncomfortable. From time to time, he would involuntarily wander, and even bumped into pedestrians, causing Chandler to be reprimanded by passers-by, and he could not adapt to the weather, climate and accent, and felt depressed for a while.
But life goes on. As time passed, Chandler came out first and returned to normal. He lived as usual, while also caring for his little nephew, who bought new things and replaced his car with a new engine. It was these small things that warmed and soothed the trauma in his nephew's heart, slowly forgetting life in Manchester and starting a new journey. Since then, Chandler and his nephew, the two of them, live together, comfort each other, and have a new dependence.
When I first saw this movie, my first feeling was depression. Chandler's past is repressing, Chandler's lifestyle is depressing, and even the tone of the film is depressing. So I wanted to turn off the movie at one point. However, as the film gradually developed, I found that the film actually contained hope and longing in the depression.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" > rave reviews</h1>
The film was well received when it aired. Although most people may not be able to watch this film, once they watch it, they will definitely fall in love with it. The state media commented on the film: "'Manchester by the Sea' is a realistic plot, but also deeply rooted in people's hearts. The film is filled with a heartbreaking emotion from beginning to end, and the director spreads out the plot little by little like tearing a pocket, and then injects this indescribable emotion evenly into the entire story framework. So what the audience ends up seeing is not a story, but a presentation of alternating emotions and details. ”
At the same time, it is worth mentioning that the film's lead actor Affleck. In this film, Affleck shows his superb acting skills, most of the time, the person who is constantly frustrated by life is expressionless, but in the face of his brother's death, his eyes unconsciously widen in disbelief; looking at his brother's body, he feels helpless, scared, and overwhelmed; in the face of compensation, this man who seems to care about everything is tough again. Although it is a movie, through his performances, we know how people live.
"Life and death are a river, and we on both sides of the river are very lonely." Perhaps this movie is trying to tell us that in life, there are some pains that we cannot cure, but people who live well with this grief are the most admirable.
Thank you for watching, paying attention to me, and taking you to learn more entertainment stories!
