Erin Brockovich(永不妥協)

   In the movie, Erin's resolution for justice and her straight style of talking are demonstrated so well that her image stays in my mind for a ling time. As a divorced woman with three children and 16 dollars in her bank account, she has every reason to beg for others’ sympathy and feel discouraged. On the contrary, she struggles to pursue her dream of conducting justice even though she is lacking in professional knowledge. Against all odds, including the residents’ indifference and doubts, Ed’s opposition and even a threatening phone call, she just does the thing that she believes in.

   Though  there is no denying that Erin ’s behavior still leaves a lot to be desired, her resolution did stir something deep inside of me. As a saying goes, “Whether you think you can or whether you think you can’t, you’re right.” Identifying with Erin ’s independence in almost everything, I’ll try to be as resolute as Erin with all my might for not everybody is fortunate enough to have someone come to his or her aid. Moreover, one of the greatest discoveries we make, one of our greatest surprises, is to find we can do what we are afraid we couldn’t do.

A River Runs Through It(大河戀)

Based on the true story of the Maclean family, the movie is full of throny contradictions, depicting the emotions of people unable to express the depth of their feelings.

    Neither Norman nor his father understands the true feelings which lie behind Paul’s mischievous grin and crinkly smile. Therefore, it was not until Paul's death that they realized that all they knew about Paul was that he was a genius in fly fishing.

    Most of us are willing to help our family and friends, however, few people are ready to receive our aids. Norman wants to help Paul, his equally blessed and tortured brother, but in vain. Jessie, Norman ’s lover, wants to help her irresponsible brother, Neil, but it seems that there is nothing she can do.

    “It is those we love and should know who elude us. But we can still love them. We can love completely without complete understanding.” As far as I am concerned, though most of the time our help is not the thing others really need, we can still try to let them know that there is someone who will be with them no matter what happens. It is our love that touches them even though everything seems to be still the same. Men passed away into dust, centuries faded away in shadow, but the river still runs through it day in day out, minute by minute. Like love that will never end.
