      Amorous Paintings of Little People

      I bought the disc four years ago and have been sleeping in a box according to the taste of the film. I think it may be a humanistic discussion about abortion. It is a fierce and deep human crisis debate in the form of court drama. The body of the old woman. sometimes tall and sometimes shaped sacred persistent strong anyway, was covered with a love that challenge the traditional religion as a fighter

      The problem of having unwanted babies

      The morality behind this movie is related to the problem of having unwanted babies. In fact, the United States has the highest rates of births to teenage mothers of all industrial nations, and the United Kingdom ranks the 2nd.

      As far as I observe, some of the same people who complain about women delaying childbearing while they wallow in unbridled sexual consumerism, are also among the loudest critics of abortion. Some these concern stems from a disguised critique of feminism, which...

      Dedicated to the mother who wanders in the rift between morality and law

      The protagonist is mainly interested in this film. The impression of Professor Ulrich in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" by actress Imelda Staunton is really too deep. The image of middle-aged women full of nervousness and acrimony shines in that film. In 2010's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1)", the role returned again. There were not many scenes, and she still radiated her light in a limited space. The awesomeness of the role definitely stems from the awesomeness of...

      About Vera Drake

      In the first hour of the film, Vera's face was always full of smiles, kind and kind. Just like another Chinese translation of the film-"Love Angel Vera", she is the love angel in the eyes of neighbors.

        In the last hour of the film, Vera's expression was painful and sad, and her tight brows and tight lips trembled involuntarily. She was sentenced, and the sentence was also due to her love.

        This film once again ruthlessly denies the absolute justice and omnipotence of the...

      Little women are fearless

      Vera Drake smile is simple.

      Just whenever this little old lady exposed as blind loyalty, humility careful, and a little kindness expression of ignorance or fear, when attempting to park said all unreasonable and tragedy, I'm sorry.

      There At that time, the morning in Europe was similar to that in China. Older mothers would go to the market in the early morning to buy fresh vegetables and eat early, dressed conservatively and neatly, walking on the stone road, always startled...

      There are a lot of fixed camera lenses, which are a little dull. Some of the plots are a little blunt and the intention is too obvious. The tones go from warm to cold as the story goes from front to back. Sincere feelings. Many affairs with women, including the development of the plot, are exactly the same: the mother who already has a bunch of children who do not want to have any more children, the harsh living environment, the frequent close-ups, the tension with family members after the...

      The long-awaited biopic finally ended in this way. I originally thought that it would be a big turnaround to talk about women's freedom, but the ending was really weak. Maybe the story is true, but as far as the script is concerned, it's really not fun. The heroine's performance of forbearance in the second half is very...

    Movie plot

    In London in the 1950s, the air was still cold and humid, and people were still conservative. In front of family and friends, Vera Drake ( Imelda Mary Philomena Bernadette Stauton ) is just a kind and selfless woman who is willing to devote a lot of energy to caring for sick neighbors and elderly mothers, feeding stray animals, and taking care of the whole family. She and her husband Stan ( Philip Davis ) live with their two grown-up...

    Evaluation action

    In the image of "Vera Drake", the reservedness and stubbornness of the British, as well as the faintly discernible sense of corruption hidden in it, are disgusting. From the city that has risen from the ruins after the war, it is hard to imagine that Vera, who is in it, has a newly renovated appearance, which is a kind of tolerance of "tuning gunners". She is kind to the disabled George and caring for the old mother in the hospital bed...
