[交流] 【Discussion】My view on "the weather man" ...

I've been wandering in this square for a few days, finally decide two write sth ...
Today I saw a movie, its name is"The Weather Man" by Nicolas Cage ...
It describle a person named Dave who is divorced with two kids, had a father who is dying.
He works as a weather reporter who is continuously attacked by different people.
As a father, a husband, a son his life was in a mess ...
He never gave up to fix all the things up, but it just turned out to be worse ...
  -- He spent time with the kids, he tought his daughter do not easily give up, but get blamed by his wife and get annoyed by his daughter as he broke her daughter's leg accidently.
  -- His carefully prepared speech & a beautiful song is ruined by power-down
  -- For several time we wanna find a way back to love with his wife, like throwing a snow ball to her wife but it accidently hits her face & broke the glasses, like attending a class to build up the mutual trust which at last ruined by his curiosity, like bringing back foods they likes but forgeting the sauce. At last he thought his winning on career can redeem everything, but the reality beats him again harshly, her wife told him she was getting married ...

Honestly, I am pretty upset and a little sick when seeing all these, why that's so unfair,
so frustrating ...

Then the movie gives a very interesting turn. Just the moment he accepted her wife's marriage, his life & all the things, he was like throwing away a heavy burden and he saw a ray of hope. Then he got a new job with a decent sallary ...

Life is somewhat unpredictable, just like the unsteady weather.
One can never know what he would like the next minute, it is hard to say it good or just bad. This uncertain also makes life full of surprise and challenging, ...
It is people who are too obssessed, and wanna things happen the way they want, finally hurt themselves when their willingness cannot be satisfied...
There are things we need to commit and let it go ...

Super_J(金币+1):I didn't really pay attention to the music, thanks for reminding me about it & your lyric ... 2010-08-01 11:51:37
Thanks for your sharing. I like this movie very much, especially the song's lyrics he prepared for his father (if my memory is not bad), the singer  is Bob Seger:
Stood there boldly
Sweatin’ in the sun
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I’d never felt that strong
Like a rock

I was eighteen
Didn’t have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and
Solid everywhere
Like a rock

My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose
My steps were quick and light
And I held firmly
To what I felt was right
Like a rock

Like a rock, I was strong as I could be
Like a rock, nothin’ ever got to me
Like a rock, I was something to see
Like a rock

And I stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams

Twenty years now
Where’d they go?
Twenty years
I don’t know
Sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they’ve gone

And sometimes late at night
When I’m bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin’ a ghostly white
And I recall
Recall

Like a rock. standin’ arrow straight
Like a rock, chargin’ from the gate
Like a rock, carryin’ the weight
Like a rock

Lihe a rock, the sun upon my skin
Like a rock, hard against the wind
Like a rock, I see myself again
Like a rock

Super_J(金币+1):谢谢参与
Thanks for your encourage. This is the full lyrics of . In this movie, Dave just began to give a formal speech for his father's living funeral :"When I think of my dad, I think of Bob Seger's "Like a Rock."  The power is off.

Fortunately, his father know his feeling and finally played the song.
