Four questions:

1、What’s the main idea and the message or value of the movie that the director is going to convey?

Doing is more important than saying. If  you only have 1000 words to say, what will you say and who will you speak to?

2、Find three points that most touching or what you think is the most important details(conversation、picture or plot).

A/ Jack said he loves baby, but he wouldn't love to deal with the diaper, and when his wife gave the crying baby to him, he didn't even know what to do. As a father, how can he say that he really love the baby.

B/ His mother almost forgot Jack, and called him with his father's name. I feel that he didn't go to see his mother a lot, maybe only on her birthday. If you didn't accompany family members because of business, that's all excuses, and that's not life is like.

C/ The last few leaves for Jack, he told his wife, we, love, forever. Go to see his mum and listen to her. He gave a gift to he coffee boy and help the man who park his car everyday. For the last three leaves, he knelt down in front of his father's tomb and said I forgive you. Forgiveness is valuable, when we forgive the others, we also release ourselves.

3、What did you learn from the movie?

Instead of saying too much, think about how to do things for the people you love and the people who love you. Listen more and speak less. That why we have two ears and only one mouth.

4、The background of the story.

Jack is a very talktive person, he speaks a lot. He even lies a lot. Once, he cheated a famous person and wanna have his book to publish. That famous person punish him with planting a tree with 1000 leaves in his yard, Jack speaks a word, a leave will fall down. When the tree turn into bald, it means no leaves at all, the tree will die and so does Jack. He began to save words, then lost his wife, his career and so on.
