Biting is not necessarily the cold winter, it may be life

Tempted and tried,
we
are ofter made to wonder,
but still confused.
Why is should be thus
,
All the day long.
Never changed.
While there are others,
there are many,
Living about us.
With us,
Never molested,
never hurt,
Though in the wrong,
though astray.

Farther along,
farther,
We'll know more about it.
We will always learn more.
Farther along,
farther,
We'll understand why. We'll understand why
.
Cheer up, my sister
.
Live in the sunshine.
Bask in the sunshine.
Cause we'll understand it
,
All by and by,
little by little.

——"Farther Along", old song, but very suitable for the ending song of this movie. Slowly speaking, a girl's life experience is different from ordinary people. The cold winter is biting, but the cold life inspires growth.

=======================Songying dividing line========================== ====

1. A cold and hard life

Ree, she is just young and young, she is at the age when she should be domineering, laughing and publicizing, but life has played a lot of jokes on her. His father was a dangerous drug maker and was always the target of the police, who often absconded. She had to look after her sick mother, brother Sonny, 12, and sister Ashlee, 6, on her own. This is the hard life of a 17-year-old girl. A really bad life doesn't allow you to think about why it's so unfortunate. Because you have to make a living, you have to be busy with your livelihood, and you have to take care of the only family member waiting for you to take care of.

Confused? There must have been. But a bad life doesn't allow you to give up on yourself or stay out of it. In the days when no one is asking for help, you must be the pillar of the family and hold up a winter sky.

2. Life with no choice. Living

in a big family surrounded by drug addicts, drug producers, and drug dealers, her friends are all problem youths from the bottom of the society, and her relatives are also poor. Throwing in the wrong track.

The richness and excitement of life lies in the fact that you have many choices at all times. However, you have to remember that if you choose the A side, you are giving up the B side. Many people live hard because they don't know whether they want A or B, or choose A and read B. But Ree had no choice, she had to choose to live stronger. Sometimes, there is no choice, but a better choice. Because you only have time to dig out how to live, and you don't have time to think about the meaning of survival. Philosophical propositions like the latter are only left to us movie watchers to explore.

3. An unfair life

She's had enough, bad enough. However, it is not enough. The court date of the father who has been absconding for several months is approaching. If the father does not show up again, the old house where the whole family lives will be taken away by the court as a mortgage. Ree decides to find out her father's whereabouts, even if it means reaching out to her dangerous distant relatives who make and sell drugs for a living.

There is no superlative level of difficulty. It is not that you have too many misfortunes and sufferings now, and have more difficulties and sufferings than your peers, and these sufferings will surely dissipate. There may be worse things to come, and worse things are waiting for you.

Now, will you complain about the injustice of life? She didn't complain, as I said, a guy who has trouble getting his next meal full has no time to complain. There is a book called "A World Without Complaining", which is a recommended book for corporate work that I teach adults not to complain. In a mature world, there will be experts and professors everywhere preaching how to not complain about work. In fact, if a person does not complain about the extremely difficult life, how can he complain about work.

4. A life without a father

Some people say that people do not grow old all of a sudden, but suddenly grow old. And what about growth? Growing up is like breaking a cocoon into a butterfly, you have to slowly accumulate life experience unintentionally, and then all the bits and pieces converge into a river, inject your blood into your blood, and become your only unique weapon. This is everyone's growing up.

The heroine in the story does not have a majestic father by her side, nor a mother by her side. This is not an ordinary life experience. She contacts the society earlier, and teaches people how to think independently and how to summon the courage to fight against evil forces. Only by finding his father can he keep the old house, the only shelter for the family. But after all, he is still young, but who cares? It is easy to muster the courage of the moment. To turn courage into strength requires action. Ree first turned to her uncle "Teardrop" for help, but was driven out; she went to look for distant relative Molly, but was ruthlessly driven out. Seeing that court day was imminent, Ree ignored everyone's dissuasion, in this impoverished and dangerous agricultural The community is approaching the truth step by step, and pushing herself to death step by step.

In fact, her father is dead, and the suspense created by the film is here, making people keep guessing who the murderer is. But Ree doesn't care too much, she thinks more Yes, how much she needs her home to support this one.

There are two details that the director grasped very well.
1. Ree was beaten, his 12-year-old brother sonny couldn't stand it, and yelled at the person who came: Don't touch my sister. But the wicked told him to shut up, and the little boy had no choice but to shut up. But the elder sister is not afraid of the time when it will happen, just remember to tell the younger brother to pay attention to the potatoes on the stove, and tell him that if the color becomes darker, he can turn off the fire.
2. At the end of the film, the police sent a sum of money left by his father to ree. The younger brother was very worried that the older sister would leave the house because of the money. In the meantime, the deep love between the siblings can also be seen in general.

Magical use of names.
Ree's uncle's name is teardrop, which translates to teardrop in Chinese, which is very revealing.
He wept for her suffering such misfortune; he wept for not being able to be the only close relative to help her; he regretted that he did not take revenge for his brother; There are many children from poor families in the middle of the United States who are living as hard as Ree.

Finally, let's talk about music.
What is the warmest in winter? Maybe not the stove, but the sound of the guitar. The soundtrack of several scenes is very warm, maybe the director did it intentionally, to contrast the coldness of the film.
