      Europe over there - Analysis of "The Hidden Woman's Heart"

      Europe over there - Analysis of "The Hidden Woman's Heart" The
        Italian film "The Hidden Woman's Heart" is a drama about the entanglement of motherhood and human nature.
        Western Europe has always had an inexplicable sense of superiority over the European countries of the former Soviet Union. Perhaps it is because of its own developed capital society, perfect social welfare education system, and so-called humanistic environment. This sense of superiority is still reflected...

      I now understand better what the old people said, that a woman who has not had children is incomplete

      1 A lot of Italian movies annoy me. Just want to listen to English, I don't want to listen to Italian Spanish, even if I don't understand it. So recently, I have been watching movies like Mysterious Eyes and so on, and I am completely confused. I wasn't like this before.
      2 There are places where I feel that the logic is unreasonable, why is the first half of the film so complicated. What about money? I didn't see where that bag of money went. Why did she repeatedly ask the paralyzed man to...

      My watchbook: "The Hidden"

      The first half of the film is filled with a strange atmosphere. There are flashes of the cruel past in the seemingly peaceful life, which makes me think that this is a suspenseful film of revenge. Seeing the back, the element of warmth occupies the main position, and is moved by the heroine's maternal love for the little girl, which far outweighs the painful experience itself. This woman with a face full of vicissitudes, she did not have any revenge on others from the beginning. plan, but just...

      To remember that I saw

      I can't deny that I have a very poor memory. After watching it for about 2 minutes, I realized that I had seen this movie a long time ago. To test how much I remember, I watched it again.
      It satisfies everything that a good drama should have, the unusualness of the story, the unexpected, the deep tragedy, the resonance of human emotions, the heroine who wins without appearance, the smooth expression, the elegant picture, the guidance of the big wet, ,,
      the heroine's eyeballs are very...

      The story is okay, but the damn soundtrack is a bit neurotic, it's not on point at all! The whole play has too much foreplay and weak backstage. ....

      Strawberry-loving Nemesis failed to get rid of the roots when she escaped. Some antecedents are not deep enough, otherwise the feelings will be more full. There are still bugs. At the beginning, in order to make the protagonist's situation more vivid, some expressions and soundtracks are too...

      Deliberately disturbing the audience in order to create a mysterious effect, even the established facts can be overturned, and then give you an explanation that this is just a nightmare. Moreover, the heroine's most important thought, the love with the little girl's biological father, has not been established at...
