I bought chicken feet at night and watched a movie while lying on the warm floor heating blanket.
The name of the movie is a bit awkward. It is called "Hunting the Wind River Valley". It is about the hunter Corey Lambert and FBI agent Jane Banner in the Indian reserved area of Wyoming, USA, investigating a case that happened in the Wind River Valley. The story of a teenage murder.
Corey found the body of a frozen teenage girl Natalie during a cougar hunt. Natalie is Cory's daughter Emily's best friend, and her body also evokes Cory's memories of her daughter.
Emily died three years ago in the ice and snow 20 miles from her home. When she was found, her body had been destroyed by a pack of wolves and the killer had never been found. With memories of her daughter, Corey joins Jane and the detective to find the murderer.
The story takes place in Wyoming, a sparsely populated state with a high proportion of Indians and a very cold winter. The snow-capped earth creates a stern temperament, which is very similar to the American drama "Frozen".
The director is the screenwriter of "Slayer on the Frontier" and "Through Fire and Water". The film shows the conflict between the traditional life of Indians and modern civilization. Many young Indians become addicted to violence and drugs in the hope of life.
A large number of Indian women disappear here every year, but their families are usually reluctant to call the police, and the government has never seriously counted the number of victims.
There is no doubt that the theme the director is trying to reflect in the film is grand, but what strikes me the most is the presentation of those unspeakable sadness, the relatively alienated perspective of the male, more precisely, the difficult Touch of sadness.
The film begins with the male protagonist Corey knocking on the door of his wife's house.
Apparently they still have feelings for each other, but the wife is indifferent to Corey. The film slowly shows us the reason, the death of their daughter is actually a little bit related to Corey.
Sadness lies between the two of them. They can neither turn a blind eye nor bear the blame. The peaceful coexistence under desperate restraint is torture for both of them, so separation is the best choice.
Corey also visited his wife while investigating Natalie's case. His wife asked him if all his feelings had come back. As soon as Corey mentioned Emily's name, "it's nothing to do with Emily," his wife closed the door.
The grief of losing a daughter is impossible to discuss, and difficult to really touch, even with someone dearest.
Sharing the same grief as Corey were Natalie's parents, and when Jane first asked Natalie's father why he let his daughter go out with a boyfriend he hadn't met, he could calmly say that it was because trust in her daughter.
But when he opened the door and saw Corey, the line of defense completely collapsed, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, tears pooled in his eyes, and he hugged Corey.
Outside the door, Corey has a conversation with Natalie's father. In the shot they are standing across the pillar.
I think this physical distance alienation wants to express that even if there is a common emotional experience, it is impossible to feel 100% empathy, and a complete and thorough understanding is almost impossible.
The act of trying to gain access to another person's heart may be best kept at an appropriate distance.
Corey said, I want to tell you, things will get better. Will not. If you feel more comfortable, I think you should be used to this kind of pain, just want to forget the sad past.
Later, he recounted what a psychiatrist he had met had told him.
The bad news is that you can never go back to your old days, your life is no longer complete, never will be. You've lost your daughter, it's irreparable.
The good news is that once you accept a sad day like this, you can feel everything about her. All the love she gave you, all her joy.
Importantly, you cannot avoid this pain.
If you do this, you deprive yourself. Deprive yourself of all memory of her and you will lose everything about her. Feel the pain, accept it, it's the only way to feel that she's always there.
The grief of losing a loved one is irresistible, but life goes on, and sometimes people don't even have the right to be in grief all the time.
Natalie's mother chose to immerse herself in it, slashing her arm in the room with a knife when she heard about her daughter's death.
Towards the end of the film, she is lying on her daughter's bed surrounded by her daughter's belongings. Corey saw her and covered her with a blanket. Among those relics he saw the photo of Natalie and Emily, tears welling up in his eyes.
Most of the time, we just have to withdraw from our daily life and savor the grief, like Natalie's father in the movie, sit for a while, for a while.
Watching sci-fi movies, looking at the earth from the universe, I feel that it is just one of thousands of planets.
And watching movies that express individual emotions like this, I feel that the earth, which carries the joys, sorrows and sorrows of countless individuals, is even larger than the entire universe.
Each of these joys and sorrows is unique, some can see the tip of the iceberg, some are almost invisible, but in any case, they exist.
In the past, I was so immersed in my own emotions that I could not see the joys and sorrows of others.
Now, I still can't see it all. However, I know that, whether I see it or not, those trivial emotions, those hidden sorrows, exist and operate in a unique way in countless hearts.
Even if you can't touch it, you can feel it from a suitable distance.
