      ."Maudie" is the best film I've seen so far

      Mo Di is really the best movie I've seen so far this year.

      The story line is very complete. There is no special technique, but it is enough to finish the story directly.There are not many main characters involved, only Mo Di, Ayfried, and their friend Sandra. Stories are also a theme in life. but showed enough of life's bitterness, happiness,...

      The legendary Mo Di!

      Very touching, very real couple. God made Mo Di born short, limping, and suffering from arthritis, but at the same time gave her an amazing talent for painting. She, who has never been out of the house, can only draw little by little by memory. When Sandra asked her to teach herself how to draw, her answer was: "No one can teach me, just pick up the paintbrush and draw as soon as I want, I don't know how to draw. When I go out, it is all drawn by memory and imagination.” Despite the hard...

      I like unique and weird people

      A quirky, ironic, and somewhat shy husband would say from his heart, "You are so perfect" before his wife left. After his wife's departure, he didn't have much emotional fluctuations. Maybe the husband felt that a perfect person like her would leave him sooner or later. This departure means that she deserves a better person. When the husband walked out of the hospital, he was stunned for a moment, as if he was waiting for the wife with arthritis to come slowly, but the next second, he...

      Love doesn't need to be defined by others

      The moment I opened the movie, I didn't know why I was inexplicably healed by the camera. Although it was a sad story at the beginning, I felt a little diluted under such a beautiful camera. The confusion in the first half of the film led to the thinking in the second half. What is love? What's it like, she said, "You're the best person we've ever had in our family" and she replied, "Maybe, yes." Their definitions should be different, but she has "met everything she needs", so she should be...

      Two lonely socks become a pair because they need each other

      Everett is awkward, short-tempered, and very sarcastic. He has always sworn his sovereignty in front of Mo Di, like an immature child. Mo Di is smiling every day. Hopeful, she understood every irony he uttered and dipped into his life little by little. Mo Di used paints and brushes to build a city of hope in her heart. She used paint to fill Everett's dark hut with hope, so that Everett took great strides without caring about walking from the very beginning. , and then slowly walked...

      8.3 points, this film is more convincing for the best actress nomination than The Shape of...

      The painting is very cute, the acting is amazing, the scenery is picturesque, and I cried a few times when I watched it... However, compared to "Flowers Falling Flowers", it is not an excellent movie, and it is more suspected of using the protagonist's disability to earn the audience's tears. I have thought for a long time whether the male protagonist has a pua female protagonist and oppresses and exploits the female protagonist. The final answer should be 'no'. The evidence is that seven years...

      The whole life already framed, right there. Floating Life Everything is framed in the painting, right there. Different people are destined to be lonely, even scary and far away. Even though she looked so humble and hunched, she was truly noble. Fortunately, she still loves, and is loved. There is no need to learn to paint, you can paint naturally, the key is to look at the world with eyes. Every frame is picturesque and the music is...

      Sally's acting skills make the otherwise unremarkable she shine. I really like such a love story of mutual support, plain but gentle, and warm in my...

      Best love story I've seen...

    Evaluation action

    "Maudie" may lack some scenes that make the audience feel goosebumps in retrospect, but this is also the spirit conveyed by this film, a most "bland and innocent" moving. Unlike many biographies of famous painters, the film does not require the audience to know the painter in advance, and it doesn't matter how well-known she is in the history of painting. Director Aisleen Walsh shoots in a loose timeline sequence, and the film doesn't...
