物归原主

爱情的承诺，忠贞的爱情，纯真的友情。
老套吗？ 早已泪流满面。
可爱的小伙子，大开了一位老人的心结。
多么美妙美好的情感，一切情感。

如此之好的一个剧本就这么被毁了。唯一的期待是日后此片将有机会被翻拍。
Richard Attenborough据说还是个“传奇导演”，对此我只能善意地揣测：他老了，却并不弥坚。
Shirley MacLaine把年老的Ethel演成了一个守了50年活寡的怨妇。对于Chuck没有爱是可以理解的，但是没有任何歉疚就显得很可怕了。愈看愈觉得她像一个不会使九阴白骨爪的颓废版梅超风。
演Teddy的Stephen Amell是一堆不入流演员中最不入流的那一个。他花在健身房里的时间肯定比花在学习表演上的还多。在如今这个跑龙套的都尚且要读读斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基的《演员自我修养》的年代，他连跑龙套的资格都够不上。
不管是年轻时的Teddy、Jack还是Chuck，没一个有一丁点的军人气质。三个毛头小伙儿粘点胡子居然就推上台来冒充大兵。要么是导演和制片挑选演员的时候犯浑，要么就是化妆师混蛋。当然既犯浑又混蛋的可能性也不小。
仅有的几个特效场景做得是相当简陋，连拿去充作游戏的过场CG也显得寒掺。不过这基本属于有多少钱办多少事，难以苛责。至少在这一点上还是要佩服下国内的几个大导演，恶心人不偿命的电影愣是能拉到大笔投资而且俨然还有越挫越勇的胆气。
最后忍不住要抛出两个主观的看法：Mischa Barton大概还能年轻漂亮不少年，但始终和“实力派”三个字攀不上啥干系；演Jimmy的Martin McCann可能是全片中最好的演员。

名字很感人，故事一般，道理浅显易懂。非常正面的影片。

让我感动的倒是迈克.昆兰。 他穷其一生，为别人的爱情划上句号，解放了艾瑟，解放了爱着艾瑟的所有人。

常常有人置疑生命存在的意义，或许生命的意义是要通过时间来评判的。挖飞机残骸，找戒指，这是一件有意义的是么？或许这就是昆兰没有打算和任何人分享的原因。但是他坚持，坚持了一生。就足以感动并拯救很多人。

一直找不到足够重大的事情去追求，担心生命会没有意义。或许只要坚持，所有的小事，小意义，都会放大，放大，散出无限的光明。

一见钟情成就了年仅21岁情窦初开的少女，却封闭了她今后50年的爱情生活，也许这样的爱情是可悲的。

查克：因为当初答应了朋友的重托，在他死后无怨无悔照顾了泰迪的妻子--也是自己心爱的女人50年，也许这样的友情是真正伟大的。

杰克：虽然当初没有被朋友选中照顾那个也是自己心爱的女人--只能作为朋友帮忙照顾，但在50年后却能与她再次相爱共度余生，也许他是最幸运的那个人

也许生活中爱情不是重要的，交些至真的朋友才是重要的

也许这样的爱是动人的，这样的爱也是残忍的

除了neve campell那个女儿的角色还算正常人以外,其他人都是变态.

尤其女主角,不知道哪来的魅力,难道是所谓"清纯"?

到结尾老头居然哭起来,简直成喜剧了.

weird and twist....导演真是老糊涂了.
