An Unfinished Life (2005)

Still in shock from his only son's death a decade ago, Einar has let his ranch fall into ruin along with his marriage. Now, Einar spends his days caring only for his hired handyman and last trusted friend, Mitch, who was gravely injured in an encounter with a grizzly bear. Einar intends to live out his days in this heartbroken solitude--until the very person he blames for his son's accident comes to town: his daughter-in-law Jean. Jean shows up broke, on the run with a girl named Griff, who she swears is the granddaughter Einar never knew he had. Suddenly, Einar's quiet life is turned upside down as anger and accusations resurface. But slowly, miraculously, 11 year-old Griff's curiosity about Western life, and her longing for a family and a father figure, begin to chip away at the stone that has become Einar's heart--opening up the way for unexpected connection, adventure, mercy and true reunion.

*Tagline: Every secret takes on a life of its own. (每個秘密背後都藏著曲折的故事...)
*去年看到這片就超想看的,看在女主角是J-Lo便拖到現在了...否則Morgan Freeman和Robert Redford的電影,豈能忍這麼久~
*關於寬恕,知易行難...Freeman幾近癱瘓的原因雖說是被熊攻擊,追根究柢卻是Redford酗酒,無法趕走熊所導致的悲劇...Redford喪子和Freeman身殘,同樣都是椎心之痛;Freeman從釋懷到原諒,甚至更進一步地包容走不出陰影的Redford,如果將其解讀成Freeman想離開也沒辦法,那就太低估Freeman在戲中可是名哲學家的深度了~
*慢慢地,藉著他的孫女,Redford固執的心終於軟化,彼此各退一步,尋找平衡點;倒楣的J-Lo前男友便成了宣洩怒氣的對象,呵~最後小女孩邀請scheriff留下用餐,更是將"寬恕與接納"的精神推向更高境界,往下紮根的味道濃厚~
*導演是瑞典籍的Lasse Hallström,作品包括The Cyder House Rules (1999),片頭看到這個名字,以為是德國人~
