Rebecca Hall is a very sincere actress. She has a perfect performance in "Small Town" and an improvement in "The Awakening". Dominic West is also pretty good. The two supporting actors fulfilled their due tasks.
The cold and beautiful picture is breathtaking. The music is great. The editing is messy, wasting perfect detailing. Fortunately, the main plot is relatively easy to understand, except for the controversy at the end. It can be analyzed:
1 Florence is dead
-Although Florence was given the antidote by Tom, he died.
——When the principal talked to a parent, it seemed that Florence did not see Florence passing by.
——Robert said: "I can feel you."
——The Dragon Crew is not affected by Florence.
——Florence finally exchanged hello with a boy. (Not the time Victor tied his shoelace)
2 Florence is not dead
—Florence was given the antidote by Tom, and he should have not died.
——The principal mentioned Judd's problems behind him when talking to a parent, but when referring to Florence, he said "I don't think she is too good" instead of "dead".
——Robert and the living people can also say "I can feel you."
——The dragon crew can't prove the life and death of Florence at all. The parents don’t know Florence, and the children don’t have to follow. She said hello.
-Victor was admonished by Robert to tie his shoelaces. It is normal for Robert to see the souls of the soldier brothers and Florence, because he wanted to see them. But he has no reason to miss Victor in his heart. Besides, Victor is not dead.
——Florence took a cigarette from Robert, and if she died, it would be a cigarette floating in the air.
——Florence asked Robert to tell the driver to wait for her until next Saturday. If she is dead, she can't explain what she meant at all.
It seems that Florence is still alive. Robert's words can only prove that they deeply love each other and have a tacit understanding. As far as this film is concerned, what is the difference between life and death, such a naked irony, who dares to say that he is alive?
