Whenever I am depressed and irritable, I will pull my hair, in order to use the stimulation of the scalp to dispel all the anxiety. When I watched this film, it was more like I wanted to pull myself out—pull myself out of the film of despair and depression. So I grabbed the hair on the top of my head and pulled, trying to pull myself out of the mud.
However, I obviously can't get out. Because I was engulfed by the quagmire of repression, sinking deeper and deeper; at the same time, I was involved in the whirlpool of Ree's fate, and I couldn't extricate myself. Looking forward to the end of the film, but could not bear to ignore the fate of this woman. The strong sense of substitution in the film made me fall.
I wanted to compare Ree to a pure white lotus flower in the quagmire of winter, but I found that this metaphor is far from enough - not enough to show her tenacity, not enough to show her kindness, not enough to show her innocence, not enough to show her love , not enough to show her beauty, not enough to show her tears, not enough to show her forbearance...
Ree alone carried a broken family. In the whole film, she was the only one who played two roles. In this mountainous area where electronic products are hardly seen, all the people are either men or women. Men are responsible for supporting their families, and women are responsible for taking care of children and managing family relationships. Men are food and women are firewood. That's it, one person, one character - but Ree, she's both a man and a woman.
Ree didn't say much, but every word she said was spoken when she needed to say it - just like everything she did, she was done when she needed to do it. She doesn't do superfluous things, she doesn't run away from anything. She is so cold, probably only has one heart, maintaining the temperature of love. But even if it was frozen into an iceberg, in the deepest part of Ree, it was still liquid. Mom, look at me, please, help me. Her tears were the only liquid left in her heart. It is very difficult for her to cry. The pain of the body cannot force her tears, and the hardships and beatings of others cannot force her tears. Only the despair of this family can break her tough and cold shell and let that A little liquid, little by little out.
Ree said to his brother: Never ask for what ought to be offfered.
This is her backbone, but for the sake of her family, she put herself down. But what is touching is that she let go of herself, but she did not let go of her kindness-she did not sell the land, even in this despair, she hesitated.
Her love, her responsibility, she let go of herself. Do you think Ree has character? There are probably many people who think she has a very character, but in my opinion, this so-called character is just a strong shell, and this kind of difference is not her character. Her character was frozen, only she was strong, and other faint personalities were buried in her heart. So, she was expressionless.
Never ask for what ought to be offfered. In essence, Ree is still like this. She doesn't ask for unnecessary help. Every time she asks for help, it is necessary, and it is related to the fate of her family.
Never ask for what ought to be offfered. Regarding this sentence, there is another person worth mentioning, who does not appear once in the whole film, and that is Ree's father. Probably a lot of people are gnashing their teeth at this father. Yes, at first me too. But as the film progresses, you will find that the father is not much worse than Ree. In the face of social pressure and chaos, a man who relies on drug production to maintain his family eventually bears the fate of being murdered. Haven't you thought: Why was the father killed?
From the few words in the film, I can probably guess that my father and the old man on the top of the mountain had a partnership to produce drugs, and the police officer was also one of them. And his brother Teardrop also makes poison and is a loner. Later, my father wanted to make the family better, so he did it himself, broke with the old man on the top of the mountain and the police, and found three partners (these partners are the guys who have been sending money to Ree). However, his father became competitive with the old man on the top of the mountain and the police, and the conflict intensified. Teardrop is a small business, selling some drugs in the bar, so he can survive in the cracks, but Ree's father is not like that. In the end, the police killed Ree's father, and the old man on the top of the mountain was an accomplice.
A man who makes a living in the cracks for the sake of his family and is powerless in the face of conspiracy, no matter what kind of mistakes he has, at least he has worked hard. Ree obviously trusts her father, so she firmly believes that his father is dead. Just imagine, if Ree wasn't so lucky and didn't find her father's remains, then she probably could only send her younger siblings to foster care, and wandered in the woods with her mother. In this way, her father is unfortunate; compared with her father, Ree More luck.
The depression and sense of fate in the whole film made me shiver on this cold winter night. This cold poured into the chest from all sides, leaving despair at the same time, there is always such a subtle point in the darkness, that is family affection and inner strength.
It is not recommended for people with too much stress in life to watch. But perhaps only in the darkness of despair can the unquenchable flame be found.
