从心开始

查理(亚当·桑德勒 Adam Sandler饰)是一个9•11的直接受害者，他的妻儿和爱狗都在这场灾难中丧生。查理从此一蹶不振，严重的自闭抑郁。他已经习惯了每天踩着电动滑车，戴着大耳机在街头行尸走肉般游荡，心灵巨大的创伤让他回归不了正常的生活。 艾伦（唐·钱德尔 Don Cheadle 饰）则是一个表面看来非常幸福的男人，有成功的事业和美满的家庭，然而他承受的生活压力是常人无法理解的，他的内心在暗暗苦撑。 直到有一天，艾伦在街头遇上了查理。得知这个老同学为何变得如此颓唐后，艾伦心里便下定决心也帮他一把，让他从低谷中走出来。他们一起谈心，游戏，慢慢的发现彼此的心灵都从窒息中苏醒过来。

Mike Binder wrote and directed this melodrama about two men who meet after a long break in their friendship and struggle to help each other rebuild their lives. Don Cheadle is Alan Johnson, a dentist who feels smothered and unfulfilled by his comfortable life or beautiful wife (Jada Pinkett Smith), when chance brings him across his former college roommate, Charlie Fineman (Adam Sandler). Fineman lost his entire family on 9/11 and in the years that have ensued, he has completely isolated himself in a child-like existence. Refusing to acknowledge his past or the tragedy that is too horrible to even think about, Charlie is constantly listening to music, playing video games, watching movies, and banging on his drums. Alan finds himself beginning to enjoy life again in Charlie's child-like presence, but as he realizes the extent of the pain that ravages Charlie he starts to attempt to help Charlie face his past and return to the real world. Also woven into the story are the sensitive psychologist Angela Oakhurst (an excellent Liv Tyler) and a beautiful but confused woman named Donna Remar (Saffron Burows), who is struggling with her divorce. Binder himself stars in an excellent performance as Bryan Sugarman, a lawyer who was Charlie's friend before 9/11, and who Charlie now refuses to acknowledge or speak with. However, he has devoted himself to protecting Charlie's finances, living situation, and general peace-of mind.

After working with Dr. Oakhurst, Charlie is able to begin to acknowledge the deaths of his wife and three daughters. However, the trauma of this memory nearly drives him to suicide, and after a brief stay at a mental hospital, his parents-in-law attempt to commit him permanently. Donald Sutherland and B.J. Novak appear for a courtroom scene, after which Charlie is allowed to be free and to attempt to continue slowly building a new life, with the aid of his friends and loved ones. Alan finds new strength and meaning for his life after helping Charlie, and is able to renew his relationship with his own wife and daughters.

亚当·桑德勒最好的片子，两个主角都有着《美丽心灵永恒阳光》里吉姆·凯瑞一样忧伤的脸，让人无法拒绝。当失去妻儿绝望自闭的查理，遇上迷失在狭小自我空间的艾伦，两个同样受困于家庭问题的男人奇异地互相治愈了，能有这样的友情真是幸运。里面的歌也都配的不错。
没想到亚当桑德勒还能演绎这样的角色，吃惊不小。每个人都需要走出这一步，因为时间只能滚滚的向前流走。
能够哭，能够诉的痛苦。都不是最深。假装忘记，才是最深。
亚当·桑德勒难得一见的佳作，一切都在静静发生、缓缓改变，并没有极为强烈的戏剧性转折，这反而是其可贵之处。如果查理最后猛然顿悟，积极乐观的开始新生活，那这片子就一文不值了，毕竟没有人可以就那样轻松写意的告别伤痛、走出困境。
很喜欢，一个人的心碎对于这个世界简直太微不足道了，你把大街上的每一个人都认成她，谁又会知道呢
911的后遗症。他每个礼拜都修整厨房，因为妻子和他的最后一次对话是在讨论给厨房上什么漆；他总是要求好友进屋前拖鞋，因为这也是妻子平时对他的唯一要求；他让别人以为他神经病，他却给人一种颓废中的感动。但，这其实是一部讲友情的电影。
911后米国灾后心灵重建电影星罗棋布，抛开学院派保守严肃的一贯作风，这类题材也算是米国的主旋律电影了吧？ 亚当桑德勒收起一贯以来的鬼马风格，演起了心灵待拯救鳏夫，谁说谐星木有演技来着？桑德勒的表演就是强有力的回击！
911事件后，纽约市区（特地不拍摄标志性城市建筑物 选景在城区风光），如何让一个人从伤痛中走出来 也许他需要的不是外部的强制推动或者不理解的排斥 更多的是需要一个可以跟他产生共鸣的人 慢慢理解他 走进他的世界。不过也由老百姓的视角感受到战争对人们的伤害。爱自己身边的人多一点
看过鹅蛋脸作品中较好的一部，Liv姐其实来打酱油的吧。整体缺乏共鸣，细节处可更好。
哈哈，那个得了忧郁症的男人竟然是初恋五十次里那个爆笑的男主角，反差太大了~
Adam Sandler defines broken-hearted better than an Oxford dictionary. Two man first found superficiality in each other, then comfort, then confrontation and eventually the truth that lies within themseves.
At least you guys have each other. I am the one who's remember them all the time. 只有爱深沉，才会如此支离破碎。那个踩着电动滑车，在城市间穿行，一遍一遍翻修厨房的受伤的男人从此在心中定格。
2009.3.16和老婆一起看的,感人至深的友情,心理学上的东西我不懂,但是人过自己的生活也没有什么不对,又没有妨碍到别人 ,这么多人出来干涉他,也没干涉出什么结果,Charlie开始了新生活,但是一样是与原来的生活隔绝的.......小车很帅!
灾难过后男人与男人之间可能更需要理解和交流。
没想到Adam Sandler还可以演这种角色而且还演得不错
死者并不痛苦，痛苦的是身边朝夕相处的亲人都不在而自己却活着。“不用谈论她，不用看她的照片，因为真相就是，我每天都能看到她，走在路上。我走在街上，在别人脸上看到她，看到的影像比你们随身带的照片还要清晰。”
怎么说呢 闷片一部 我还是考虑到桑德勒和钱德勒的演技及布罗斯的容颜丽芙泰勒的气质才打了这个分的亲。
故事背景很平常，但情节却相当离奇，基本上是讲人如何经历感情挫折并从中走出来的过程，画面很精致，演员阵容也不错，对白差点意思，不过不耽误打动人心
想到King of California 的Charlie,还有Charlie Brown.喜剧明星的内心戏就像hard rock的温柔小情歌.forgetting is a virtue,to some extent. 哎...完了 又泪奔了...ft
没想到他还可以演这样的戏呢，精灵公主什么时候都是那么美，片子还不错，反正一切都走回正轨了！
