a dream

"We all have unfulfilled dreams"

"We all have to accept our fate"

"You can be whoever you want to be" —

why not?

Run away like a nightmare, run towards the end of the world and never look back

On this Women's Day, I watched a feminist philosophical movie with a lot of elements. I like this kind of gradually warm story. It is a process that has never been chosen and can be done.

Abandoning the identity of the waitress and housewife will have long been reverie and release

like a dream

There is a very intriguing scene in the film that Louis and the two old women stare at each other, which is the envy of the twilight, or it is a hint that he is afraid of his twilight, like a pool of stagnant water. Stopping outside the window, will he sigh that he did not change his way of life when he was young?

Silent is better than sound here

And after that, Louis took off his whole body jewelry to pay for the oil money, and then tied his neck with a rope.

Taking off jewelry to pay for gas also implies abandoning the past

There are also two scenes in which Selma robs a street shop, which is a metaphor for the transformation of the characters.

Now learning and selling now (broken jars and broken)

Just like following the gradually desolate scenery in the running, the interrogation that disappeared between the two ends in the billowing smoke

Don't wait until things have already happened to make changes
