Wherever and whenever, women yearn for a more meaningful life, the facts keep pushing them toward emptiness or a deeper nothingness.
When I was 20 years old, I watched "All the Time", but I caught a glimpse of the sad face of life from a distance, and I didn't even have a real understanding of where the predicament they were caught in came from. A "Mrs. Dalloway" strung together the different fates of three different women of different ages, but the theme of facing death is the same. The plot that touched me the most was seeing the suicidal housewife played by Julianne Moore. A happy family, a happy life, a stable life, and a quiet life just add to the suffocation brought by her unchanging life. A person always needs to believe that the future will be better than the present, or at least different. A life that can be seen at a glance, what is there to live? So she chose to leave her suburban mansion alone and leave her suburban mansion on a very sunny morning, alone, and come to the hotel to experience death. In her imagination, the tidal suffocation of death terrified me sincerely and vaguely. What's even more desperate is that she didn't die in the end. She didn't even have the courage or freedom to die. At that moment, her heart must be as desolate as the end of time. In my opinion, as an ordinary woman, a housewife submerged in daily life, rather than the other two heroines of writers or literary youth, it is obvious that the unrescueable loneliness of women she represents is more typical. .
By contrast, Julie and Julia appear incredibly lucky or happy, making the film a counterpoint to "The Hours."
It does not deal with the most fundamental proposition of death like "The Hours", which makes the depth of its touch on the soul a lot lighter at once. As a film based on a gourmet classic, it certainly wasn't meant to be about how to make beef burgundy better. Julie and Julia seek the realization of self-worth in different eras, but they are by no means the redemption of their own lives. In this process, food is the gateway but love is the necessary driving force, just as Julia said to her husband "this is your book too", and Julie said to her husband "I can't do this without you. thing". It can be seen that the ultimate appeal of this self-realization still lies in the pursuit of a woman's own career in addition to family happiness, and she is still full of enthusiasm for "love", especially the love from a male husband, for self and mediocre salvation. expect. In the final analysis, it is still providing women with a new path, which is far from the sober and conscious awareness of self.
Originally thought this was just a very general "pseudo" female movie, but it is said to be an adaptation of a true story. Four stars for the elusive hope it paints.
