The nature of escapism and greed can make people so brazen

First thing to say, I'm not a Bjork fan.
But in this movie, I got a taste of the magic of her voice.

In terms of photography, I felt awkward at first.
I feel that the lens is always shaking, sometimes very abrupt.
(Actually shot with a hand-held camera, like a beginner filming there.)
And when Shama starts to imagine, starts to dance, the
shot becomes very smooth and bright. The director did it on purpose.


In terms of singing and dancing, I like the part where she and the male protagonist are by the train track the most. .
The lyrics are so moving, and with her voice, it really touched me! !
I will always remember the scene and the music when Ma threw her glasses down the river and started singing:
"I have seen it all, I have seen the woods, I have seen the
willow branches swaying in the spring breeze , I have
seen a man killed by his friend,
life It ends early before it 's over. I have seen
my past and I know my future.
I have seen it all, and there is nothing to see..."

Such a strong woman, facing blindness, still has such a firm determination and execution.
In a desperate situation, she was able to remain calm, a breathtaking calm.

The scene that impressed me the most is of course the one where Shama is forced to kill the landlady.
Humanity - the nature of escapism and greed, can make people so brazen. .
And the mother's nature can make such a weak woman burst into such power. .
I believe that at that moment, these two people were fighting with dreams and beliefs.
I was deeply regretted. . . Silent for a long time. .

I don't want to see what happens next. . . real.
Maybe the story ends here is perfect. . .
