The background of the story takes place in a small town in the southern United States. The two time and space are switched with each other through the memories of the old lady Nini. The slow and determined tone seems to have a magical power to make people listen. This feeling is also seen when watching Rob Reiner’s "Princess Bride". Usually the narrator tells stories about long long ago. The age makes the listener have an unusual sense of participation, and this curiosity The heart is the key to driving the story. In the film, Evelyn, played by Casey Bates, played such a role. She continued to push the narrator on behalf of the audience. As the plot deepened, the emotion she invested was also proportional to her, and the whole process was positive for her. It also produced a subtle influence. Another clever aspect of the movie is that the keyword "homicide" appeared from the first shot. The car salvaged from the water is like a time bomb hanging over people's hearts, "Who is the murderer?" "Where did the corpse go?" Questions such as this circulated in the audience's mind. Even if the sun was shining in the last second, someone might go to jail in the next second. This non-orientation of the plot gave the audience a stronger emotional substitution. Moreover, according to the antagonistic relationship between the characters, the murderer’s spearhead is also pointed. At this time, the accumulated good and evil judgments make people feel pity for the “murderer”, and even feel that they don’t want him to be brought to justice. This kind of psychology The establishment of support made the ending of the story a logical development and at the same time gained the favor of the audience.
As a female film, the shaping of female characters is very important. Whether it is Yikki and Ruth in the memories, or Nini and Evelyn in reality, their personalities may be strong or gentle, but they are invariably the righteousness and kindness in their bones. The complementarity of personalities is like the sun and the moon. She saw bravery in her, and she learned to let go of her, and the darkness surrounding the two of them disappeared. Yi Ji is a typical wild child. There is no fear in her dictionary. Fighting with men and picking up honey from hornet’s nests are commonplace. In her, you can’t see the tenderness that a woman deserves. Maybe it’s the death of her brother many years ago. Yi Ji hides his weak side. Ruth is a completely different character. She is definitely not brave. Faced with her husband’s violence, she chose to be patient. The restraint and self-esteem in her heart is like a shackle that confines her. It is imperative to break the tradition. Row. Somewhat similar to Ruth is Evelyn. Although she is not as submissive as women in the past, but most of her life is to please her husband. She even participated in marriage instruction classes to enhance the relationship between husband and wife, but the result was unsatisfactory. The only eyes of the husband were the ball game and beer, and he ignored her efforts. The old lady Nini is a mysterious character. She claims to be a relative of Yi Ji’s family, but she tells the story in detail and the greeting card next to Ruth’s grave betrayed her. Plus her age, Nini must be the elderly Yi Ji, but at the end, he didn't make this point clear. It just showed that Yi Ji was still alive, which was a good move. Among these characters, Yi Ji is the well-deserved protagonist, not only because of her hot personality, but more importantly, she conveys a belief to the people around her, a belief related to equality and independence. Whether it's Ruth, Evelyn, George, the drunkard Mo, or even the poor people beside the railroad tracks who cannot be named, they have all been favored and influenced by Iggie. She is like a huge luminous body transmitting. Shine and heat.
Although it is an inspirational film, the fateful disaster is like a shadow. At the beginning of the film, Yi Ji's brother was killed by a straw hat, and the straw hat that he could never pick up was like God was joking with him, and this sense of absurdity is reminiscent of the Coen brothers. The same misfortune happened to Ruth's son, but the train only seized one of his arms. After the catastrophe, everyone held a mourning ceremony for his lost arm, which is evident in the optimism. Ruth's death also happened unexpectedly. Yikie showed a fragility that she never had before. The days of throwing flour in the kitchen are gone forever, but at least Ruth has no regrets. She knows Yikie. Will take good care of her son, and teach him the bravery and self-confidence that he taught himself. Compared with them, Evelyn’s fate is not as unlucky, at best, it’s a passing life. The neglect of her husband and the bullying of the people around her made her lose her goal in life. At the same time, she met Nini and listened to Yi Ji’s story. The biggest turning point in Evelyn’s life was when she decided to live for herself. When we saw her fighting back against a woman who robbed a parking space, we saw Evelyn’s transformation. We cannot avoid the impermanence of life, but malicious racial prejudice can be resisted. In the southern United States at that time, the Ku Klux Klan prevailed. Although the blacks had been freed, they were not recognized and respected by the whites. In the film, Yi Ji and the blacks were actually very out of the ordinary behavior, but she did not because The gossip has changed the original intention, and the film also conveyed the concept of racial equality through what Yi Ji did.
I like the feeling of the film talking about, like listening to an old friend telling a story in the afternoon about the place where the whistle station, where the main dish of the cafe is fried green tomatoes.
