    2011.5.26 Standard American cliche... nothing new. Also, what's with that heavy southern accent? Is Maine that accent?

    It may be the most underrated movie adaptation of Stephen King's works. The tone of the movie is thrilling and suspense mixed with warmth. The mother who was domestically abused by her husband but loved her daughter, was even more exciting than the performance in "Ten Days of Dangerous Love". Moreover, there are flashbacks of memories that constantly appear in the movie, the painful past and the cruelty of reality are seamlessly connected, and the viewing experience of memories and reality...

    I thought it was another "Ten Days of Dangerous Love", but I didn't expect that a film focusing on family ethics and feminism would make montages the next best thing, relying on the alternation of light, dark and shadow to make dislocation editing, turning an originally literary narrative film. To achieve a closed loop of the timeline, enhance the suspenseful color without leaving the storytelling at all, it is...

    Evil is the protective color of women in a patriarchal society, in fact, the evil that is derived from it is also the protective color of the weak in a powerful society. The denseness of emotion, the poetry of the camera, the intense and profound social reflection in the heart, are more than one grade higher than "Ten Days of Dangerous Love". Movies from more than 20 years ago, admiration!...

    The mother-daughter dialogue is very interesting. The mother asked her daughter, do you really think I murdered? The important thing for my daughter is not how I see it, but how they see it. Before the hearing, the mother revealed her heart again, I don't care what they think, I only care what you think. Many acerbic social issues are condensed into more than 100 minutes of...

    The narration is stable and regular, the structure is concise, the two suspicious cases are intertwined and narrated, the past and the present are alternately presented, and the performance of the actors completely adds to the film. Kathy Bates is a good actor, and the role of Dolores is portrayed as a vivid, flesh-and-blood character. The play is very precise, even the slightest change of mood. Humble and strong, repressed and self-respecting, Bates completely incarnates as a woman at the...

    Domestic violence! What a resonant theme, the heroine reminds me of my own mother, and if my mother treated my father like the heroine of this movie when I was a kid, I don't think I would hate her. After all, my mother is still too kind. She was tortured like that and sent my father to the hospital on the night of his suicide to save his life. I really feel humiliated by my scumbag father. I was in third grade at the...

    The photography, editing, and soundtrack are amazing! All the lead actors also showed great performances. A film about women, a comeback, an unforgettable memory, a murder, a debate, a awakening and understanding. The history of women being discriminated against and violated by the film is infinitely magnified after many years, which is sad. Judy Parfitt's reassuring Dee scene in the living room is a template for acting....
