Talking is not a pejorative, just look at the majesty behind its delicacy

I didn't know it was an adaptation of a stage play before watching it, but now I think it doesn't matter, maybe one day this form will become one of the mainstream forms. As an ordinary audience, I gave it four points. First of all, the acting skills are unremarkable. Everyone's expressiveness is strong enough. The heroine and heroine are shocking! To hold up most of it, the eldest son needs to give extra praise. Every scene and every appearance of him has successfully attracted my attention. Even when he is not talking, his inner things and his character background are deeply surrounding at all times. He seemed to always feel his mood. In terms of the plot, some people say that this is a chatter film, and it does have such a meaning, but it is not derogatory. In this way, the film allows you to understand the characters' experiences and social background, and feel this little through the details of the dialogue. The huge behind the small house makes the whole story alive, and because of this, I listen carefully to every sentence, and there is not a single extra line. Now let’s talk about what I’m not comfortable with, I dare not say “dissatisfied”, after all, I’m just an ordinary audience, maybe my level is not enough to understand, that is the part of the derailment, I think it’s a bit abrupt, in In the previous clips, I think I saw the foreshadowing. When the male protagonist's brother scolded the bad guys and denounced hypocrisy on the street, the male protagonist was not only guilty of not taking good care of his brother, but also other things. But I didn't see any clues about the love scene between the husband and wife and the "speech" about "responsibility" to the younger son. Maybe there was no derailment at that time or the director didn't arrange the foreshadowing, maybe I thought too much. In any case, I was a little confused when I saw the part of the derailment. It was acceptable for a single story segment. The portrayal of emotions and the inner roar brought the story and the actors' acting skills to a climax, but for the whole movie, that segment came to a climax. It was fierce enough. At the time, I felt that I couldn't connect with the previous part. The male protagonist seemed to change roles. Maybe it was because of my level, or maybe it was the influence of the adaptation of the stage play. There is not much to say about the self-feeling of the story itself, life, everyone is such an essence. Just write it here, my focus on the whole film is here.

  • Rose: I took all my feelings, my wants and needs and dreams, and I buried them inside you. I planted a seed and watched and prayed over it. I planted myself inside you and waited to bloom! And it didn't take me no 18 years to realize the soil was hard and rocky, and it wasn't never gonna bloom!
