      That inspirational face

      "In My Heart" tells the story of the American heroine who lost her husband during the Great Depression, struggling to maintain a family life with almost no money. When the youngest son invited his mother to dance at the dance party, the hostess shared his son’s hand with the wounded hand cut from the cotton. I had tears in my eyes and a mouthful of rice in my mouth and told TN that I would do the same. Mother. TN whited me and said, "You don't need it."

      Places in the Heart: A story full of love and courage

      Among the many female-themed films in the 1980s, "Places in the Heart" is undoubtedly one of the best. But when it comes to the name of the film, I believe that most people think of Woody Allen’s tribute to Bergman's masterpiece, and often overlook this unpretentious work. The heroine of the film, Sally Field, won the Oscar for the second time with this film. Sally Field, a popular American mother with an inspirational face, once again created a classic independent and strong mother image for...

      Floral skirt and strong mother

      I discovered that floral skirts were so popular in the United States in the 1930s, but they were full of oriental flavors. At the end of the ball, Margaret wore a pink petal chiffon skirt with purple satin silk scarf, which is truly stunning and beautiful. The audience's eyes are probably the same as her husband's, living tightly on this beautiful color and body.
      Mrs. Spalding is undoubtedly a strong woman, a strong mother, a strong person, and a kind person.
      The plot of the communion...

    Piercing lens

    Continuity: During a storm, Frank stopped to look at the homeless woman, his top button.
    Anachronism: The time set for the movie is 1935. The entire movie uses glassware from the Great Depression, and most of it is correct. There is a scene where there is a pair of Watford-style salt and pepper mixers on the kitchen stove. This style was produced by Hocking Glass Company (Anchor Hocking) between 1938 and 1944. How could Sally Field have...

    Evaluation action

    All the characters in the film including friends and enemies, wives and mistresses, living blacks and dead whites all communicated in the church service. This is a very visual scene, but it is too much for the whole film. Too strong, unable to support such an ending. Because such a scene does not have an accurate narrative to guide it. The story takes place in a farm, not in a town. Although the last scene tries to connect them...

    Movie quotes

    • Frank: My name's Frank. My pa was killed.

      Moze: I heard about it. I'm sure sorry.

      Frank: He was shot. It was a nigger killed him.

    • Albert Denby: Now then, Mrs. Spalding... in spite of the fact that I have great doubts about... this misguided attempt of yours to hold on to this place... as a Christian and deacon of the church, it's my beholden duty to... reach out the hand of charity to a human being in need. And I got to thinking, now what better way to help out this poor woman... than if she took in a boarder. Someone who could move in here, and by paying a modest rent, help her out. What if my brother-in-law was to move in here and rent a room from you?

      Edna Spalding: Move in here?

    • Albert Denby: Mrs. Spalding, I don't want me to be here any more than you want me to be. Now, I won't be any more trouble than is necessary. And all I'll ask in return is to be left alone in peace and quiet.

      Edna Spalding: Well, I just thought...

      Albert Denby: I know what you just thought. But I don't need your help, and I don't need you to feel sorry for me.
