return

Seeing Cruz's eyes full of tears, my heart was pulled up (இдஇ;)... I like the story structure of "Return". It facilitated reconciliation with my mother and deepened my relationship with my daughter: my daughter killed the man who raped me at the same time. I have a husband just like that man, but he is dead now. As his wife, I was very angry. I was angry that he wanted to do something to his daughter. As his daughter, I no longer feared him, and when my husband died, he also fell. I understood my mom's mood, and my mom and I were one again spiritually. My daughter also looked at me as someone other than her mother because of my decision: without my husband, I will not resent her for this, but choose to understand her, comfort her, and protect her. Separate the mother from the community of interests of the husband and wife. The mother is a brave and determined friend! (I like the movie's understanding of the mother-daughter relationship) On the other hand, the mother's apparition and Tina's reasoning also add a layer of folk mythology to the story. Although the method of creating a sense of mystery is very simple, if you have not seen the person, you will hear the sound first. However, it was such a simple technique that made me gradually believe that the mother of the two sisters was a living person until the second half of the film. The mother of the two sisters is also very cute, like a elf! So I have to believe that she is a cute ghost. The adolescent daughter was gradually estranged from her mother, but after this experience, the mother and daughter became united again and the relationship was closer than before. Coincidences and differences of fate seem to be playing tricks on them. Fortunately, the cursed fate was changed. In the movie, the grandmother said to her granddaughter that the cruelest thing in the world for a mother is that her daughter does not love her. Although my relationship with my mother is currently flat, because my mother still wants me to fall in love with a man, get married and have children (what good is a man!!), she can't understand my life as an independent individual. What a joy. I hope I can slowly make her understand that I don't need to be with other people in order to be with them. Hope one day our relationship can be like friends too.
