Life is like a reverse journey, I am also a pedestrian

How should the people who stay go on the next road, the spirit keeps going back, but the body has to move forward. The heroine keeps wandering passively and actively along the way. It seems that she has lost her loved one and is exiled again in the vast world. This feeling always reminds me of Su Shi's poem, "If you don't think about it, you will never forget it", home is not a place but a feeling, just carry the love we have and share to someone on the same road. There is no final goodbye. We will eventually meet on the road.

    It's not difficult to say, but it's a movie that's simple but hard to control. I think this control lies in focusing on nothing else. The director is also immersed in such a journey. It seems that there is a natural force to help her show it, which is natural and beautiful. Great control over the photography, clever use of the soundtrack, and also controlling the meaning thing, not meaning for the sake of meaning, and McDormand's performance is brilliant, she just maintains herself, this and this The film is shot in the same way, that is, keep, the verse says "all beautiful images will inevitably fade", but McDormand's really restrained performance has reached a certain buffer, she is very good at it, there is no glamorous relaxation, There is no exquisite tension, she just deduces a kind of on the road, everything is moving forward or backward, she also maintains herself and speed, even in the last crying scene, it is only a slight panting. Xie Lingyun, a generation of landscape poets, once had a difficult and classic famous sentence "The lonely traveler is hurt, and the lonely traveler is bitter", which is probably the heart of the movie I saw.

    The whole movie seems to have happened a lot, but in fact nothing happened, the beginning and the end are still the same.

    Fern: I am, but my husband died.
