The Year of Change and the House of Change starts from the perspective of a maid and tells about the changes in the country and the family in 1971. Before that, the family lived a prosperous life, the parents did scientific research, and the four children, two maids, and Grandma, the family is happy. Father returned home with great discomfort and strangeness. After a short stay, he never returned.
The maid takes care of the family, is intimate with the children, and has a strong lover who practices martial arts.
Clothes are drying in the sun, water dripping down, everything is calm, beautiful, even bright.
The maid found out she was pregnant and confessed to her so-called lover, who left on the pretext of going to the toilet and never returned. The fates of the two women are linked together under time and space, and they are all alone.
I love this movie for three reasons: one is the clever camera and soundtrack, two girls running on the street, the kiss at the cinema, the shit on the ground, the falling hail, the puppet-like villain on the stairs of the cinema, a family Depressed people preparing to start a new life next door lively wedding, broken water jug, man singing alone in the fire, soldiers passing by in line, sudden riot, crying in delivery room, waves coming in waves, family Hug by the sea, empty rooms and neatly piled books on the ground, attic and sky at the end. Everything is poetic and just right.
The second is the depiction and praise of women. In the midst of change, women remain independent and powerful. The maid is willing to communicate with them in the way of children, and give them love and tolerance; after the father leaves home, the mother makes positive changes, buys a new car, changes a new job, and actively assumes all responsibilities; as a female employer and maid, They respect each other, understand, tolerate, and consider each other. You take care of my child, and I also consider your child carefully; you take care of my life, and my life needs your help.
I don't know if the director did it on purpose, but the male characters in this film, whether they are romantic fathers doing scientific research or young people practicing martial arts, don't know much about love and responsibility. They are separated from their families and children. Panic about the arrival of a child and longing for a free life can be cruel to women, but it's not too much, it's human nature.
At the same time, the human nature of this film is handled very well. The mother immediately apologized to him for hitting the child because of her gaffe. The tantrums against the maid are dissatisfaction with the father; the underage children are slapsticking; the man is courting I failed to say that women are not very sexy, I just want to comfort you; my father will no longer send money to the family when he has a new life; when a man who practices martial arts sees a maid, he thinks that he should teach his friends first. There are no villains, everyone is just ordinary people.
The third and my favorite thing about this movie is the poetry and hope that it always exudes.
"Why do not you speak?"
"Now that I'm dead, I quite like the feeling of dying."
"We'll be back when we get to the skirt of the mountain."
"Does Shan wear a skirt? Can we see his panties here?"
"But Mom, you're a biologist."
"But the teaching salary is not enough, and I also like books, and I don't like biology much."
"Disney is too expensive, but we can go to the park."
"When I was earlier, I was an old man."
"You said later?"
"No, earlier, before I was dead, I was a pilot, a fighter pilot."
"how do you feel?"
"It feels awful."
"It will be a new journey, and there will be many new adventures in our lives."
You see, no matter how the world changes, with hope and love, we can move forward, embark on new journeys and experience new adventures.
In childhood stories, the stairs at the corner, where the sun should be shining and the sky blue.
I am reluctant to talk about what happened to the maid and her stillborn child. This so-called romance with her is too cruel. How full of vigor and vitality she was in the title, how gaunt she was when the child died, "I don't want to give birth to him either", but the accident was heartbreaking. From this point of view, she is undoubtedly unfortunate, but fortunately this family, fragmented, is full of love and tolerance. Let us accompany each other through this long time.
