Very Good Film!!!
Clearly the director knows what she is doing and has a good sense of cinematic language.
great script and crafted with ideas and care.
Very good performances from the cast. The patients all act very well, which makes them very attractive and lovely to the audience.
This is a definitely woman-oriented movie. It's all about this female protagonist. It has got a precise description of a patient who is addicted to alcohol. And some of the problems can still echo today's topics. It tackles many problems. And I like how the movie approaches to and tackles these issues with gentleness and care. It is a film with sympathy and proper compassion. It also has many sessions that brought you laugh.
I like the end that the female protagonist does not date the guy Viggo Mortensen plays【I was watching for Viggo but he shows up very late in this movie and does not have many scenes. But he is very handsome though.☺️】. I also like the scene that the guy Viggo plays still has slept with another girl. It probably shows, men just can't change, can't they?Interestingly, in this movie, men keep repeating their mistakes but women either save themselves or destroy themselves. This is a phenomenon that still haunts in movies we produce today. And It is worth some discussion. (there was a classic masculinity scene that the Viggo guy said his bad experience but the Sandra girl refused to tell hers back.)But as for the characters and the story, this film is definitely trying to cast off the cliché that similar movies have.
It is a 2000 film, so it is very impressive that the director uses those rough, shaking and documentary-like footage ( even a little bit of avant-garde maybe?). There were some criticism about it saying this footage is swirlingly drunk, but I quite like this kind of presentation and experiment. Bold move for the director.
The only regret is that except for the female protagonist and men around her, the other characters lack of more description, which makes them more like a tool instead of specific well-rounded human beings.
Some critics gave negative feedback, criticizing its "Hollywood-like happy ending". I understand why they say this. Because when a movie comes with a topic like this, you're probably expecting or looking for something that involves in-depth discussion and presentation. However, leaving everything on the surface without really digging them in can be a real shame.
However, I still like this movie very much. Because it is enjoyable to watch. It is fun. It's got you related. It's well directed and well cast. And it is encouraging to watch.
Ps. 观影过程中看见一些熟脸也很惊喜哈哈哈
It's always a surprising delight to see some familiar faces you have not expected to see.
比如伊丽莎白·班克斯,只看过饥饿游戏的我根本不知道原来她这么有气质,she's very pretty. 以及,还有大西洋帝国的男主,竟然能够很明显的演技的进化程度。V也是。
不过V真的好帅,看见他的脸就觉得开心傻笑的程度,撩一下女主头发都觉得这动作撩到不行,啧,请停止散发你的魅力。
Sandra的个人魅力不错~
Ok,我承认Sandra Bullock认真起来拍的戏也是可以看下去的.
一堆熟脸。牙叔居然很慈爱。桑德拉和人皇的气场,呃,太格格不入了,基本看不出化学作用啊。
小组工作,老师说这是每次讲这门课都要放的。用喜剧的方式来告诉人们生活尽管无聊悲惨却不需要用生孩子啦、浪费时间吸毒酗酒来逃避,她也想和妈妈一样用这种方式来寻求重视,团体心理治疗模式却是很有用,还有摸得那匹马,周遭环境很是影响一个人,犯错都会这样,改的机会不多又难把握,依旧热爱生活!
你就是有那种魅力。即使你过得一团糟,世界也不会遗忘你。(为什么我没有这种魔力…
当没有一个好的条件时,人的的痊愈会慢一些,可是只要努力还是有办法让伤痛得以平复。
Sandra Bulllock演什么角色都能演成自己,不知道是好还是坏。
做自己喜欢的事情,面对自己真实的生活,在生活中作出改变。
还挺喜欢这个结局的,温暖带点童话又不失现实,意犹未尽。人下定决心改变,首要的还是要远离会让你跌回深渊的人。
看得我也想去戒除中心里滚一滚了尽管我跟女主一样是很难放下自己向人求助的类型,还是会向往同甘共苦的感觉!比起遇到长得像Viggo的有性瘾的职棒选手更希望碰到跟Buscemi一个样的辅导员...我的审美哪里出了问题!经管丢脸但病友们还是热追乱伦肥皂剧这个梗好逗
I know he's not perfect, but he's the one person who's gonna show up on my birthday and he'll say " i'm glad you were born ".
你以前做过那些错事,然而那并不是你自己
鸡汤治愈吧,就是比较常见的rehab 然后找到人生意义这样,NOT a comedy imo。感觉不到,因为不管是酒呀还是更严重的addict那种,那种无所谓只想着drown in ur own fantasy那种,还是可怕,真说能醒悟还得戳到真痛楚。里面一个是养植物,养动物的培养i care那种,一个就是前一天活蹦乱跳,后一天就overdose人没了,typical。可能还是因为有bullock吧,还是更喜欢她的喜剧
我要是也甩人这么干净利落就好了 sigh
Viggo年轻的时装扮相真心不好看,这还是和箭步侠前后脚拍的电影啊,超完美谋杀也不够好,不过去年的神奇队长就变得很有味道了,男人总是可以幻想老了之后成为肖恩康纳利的吧。
接连看的这几部Sandra Bullock电影对男主都是通过她的感受去喜欢,但Viggo除外!Viggo太好看啦!
晚上逛碟店看到这片dvd想起来我是看过这部的,虽然完全不记得剧情了。
最后她拿起小马的脚,就喜欢看这个女人CI笑
看节目预告看错了以为是28 days after...
是为了Viggo来看的,电影本身属于鸡肋,但看下去意外地发现了各种问题。女主角的童年经历,她与男友的臭味相投,戒毒所里众生相,还有Viggo扮演的那个人,貌似真诚,其实也挺虚伪的。戒毒所的祈祷文最精彩。
