i watch a movie at last night 。the title is 《One True Thing》,
The story beginning is Ellen Gulden is an ambitious young writer working for a New York-based magazine. When the film opens, it's 1988, and Ellen is being questioned in connection with the death of her mother. Kate Gulden (Streep), a beloved member of a small upper New York state community, died in her sleep at the age of 48. At the time, she was suffering from advanced, terminal cancer, but the cause of death was a morphine overdose. Also under suspicion is Kate's husband, George (Hurt), a local college professor. The story gradually evolves in flashback, showing Ellen's sometimes-contentious relationship with her mother and her unswerving devotion to her father. When Kate's condition is diagnosed, George pleads with Ellen to quit her job and come home to help around the house. Apparently, George is too busy at work, Ellen's younger brother, Brian (Tom Scott Everett), is away at college, and a nurse "won't do." Somewhat resentfully, Ellen agrees to return to the nest. Soon, she finds herself losing her own identity as her mother's lifestyle swallows her up.One True Thing is based on a novel by Anna Quindlen, and director Carl Franklin (Devil in a Blue Dress) has chosen to model the movie as a tearjerker, albeit a superior one. There are plenty of moments of sentimental melodrama (making Kleenexes a mandatory accessory), but there are also instances of surprisingly keen character insight. Although George, Kate, and Ellen start out as stereotypes, they quickly evolve beyond that baseline level. Ellen is like a wounded animal, lashing out in all directions, seeking a target. George's self-assurance is a carefully-constructed illusion. And Kate is all too aware of what's going on around her. "There's nothing that you know about your father that I don't know -- and better," she tells her daughter at one point. The relationships between these individuals are suitably complex; there are no clear-cut boundaries separating love, admiration, and resentment. And the issue of euthanasia is handled sensitively and intelligently, without the film makers getting on a pulpit to preach down to us.

I am a film fan
I am a film fan because I have seen a lot of movies.Also I love many films.Several days ago, I saw an American movie and I love her immediately.Her name is IF ONLY.
It is a love story about a pretty girl and a handsome boy. Samantha is in love with her boyfriend, unfortunately he doesn't pay any attention to her. She is living in London attending school there to be with him. She is a music student and aspiring singer. Ian is wrapped up in his job and is taking her "for Granted". A twist of fate occurs and makes him realize what he has.
The story is perfect,I was touched deeply.I think I am the man in the film and I will do what the girl asked. The scence is beautiful in the uptown.I love the country,also I love the two wonderful song in the film.
I recommend this film to anyone who is a film fan, or to anyone who is a romantic at heart. This one will get your spirit. Director did a perfect job and writer is a genius.I look forward to any projects they take on in the future.
