What can I say?
Beating your wife is such a big deal!
But I still have to say, whether sitting or standing, whether the waist hurts or not, I have to say:
Girls, go back!
Today, Xiaoguan recommended a movie that tells the story of three generations of grandparents who suffered domestic violence.
More recommended for those who love hands-on.
Next time you beat your wife, think about this movie.
The film is called "Return" and comes from Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar.
-01-
"Return" is a work by Almodóvar in 2006.
The film has the author style of Almodovar as always: bright red, bold color contrast, beautiful and tough women, incompetent and shameless men...
"Return" has a certain degree of suspense, and the story time is disrupted by the narrative time.
For the convenience of narration, Xiaoguan takes the story time as a clue to rehash the plot.
Born in a small Spanish town, Girls' Generation was sexually assaulted by her father and became pregnant.
Having difficulty facing her family, Lemona resented her father's brutality, and resented her mother's ignorance. She came to Madrid alone to make a living, which also opened up the estrangement with her family for more than ten years.
Fourteen years later, Ramona took her daughter (also her sister) Paula back to the countryside to visit the graves of her parents who died in the fire, and stopped by to visit her only respected elder, Aunt Paula (Spanish people are known as elders). The habit of naming children, Ramona named her daughter after her aunt, which can also reflect her resentment towards her parents), and met her childhood playmate Augustina.
Aunt Paula, who was in her twilight years, made Remona, who returned to Madrid, miss her very much, and she also had to recall and face the hometown that had cruelly hurt her.
Raimona lives in poverty, renting a small apartment with her failed husband and daughter.
Husband Buck just lost his job and sits on the couch drinking beer and watching football every day.
After her husband lost her job, Ramona had to find another part-time job on Sundays, because that was the only day she had free.
In order to subsidize her family, Lemona is also doing multiple jobs such as helping the kitchen, laundry, and cleaning.
Facing the serious illness of her loved ones, financial constraints, and work fatigue, Lemona is helpless.
Buck was indifferent to it, and by night he was all for pleasure.
Buck knew that Paula was not his child. Watching Paula's body begin to develop, Buck had a wicked thought.
While Ramona was out at work, Buck attempted to sexually assault Paula and was stabbed to death in the kitchen by Paula.
When Ramona returned home, she was stunned by what she saw, but quickly calmed down.
Ramona first told Paula: If it comes to light, it is said that the mother killed the father.
Then, Ramona properly disposed of Buck's body.
When the news of Aunt Paula's death came, Lemona was entangled in the matter of the corpse and had to entrust her sister Soleil to return to her hometown for the funeral.
Aunt Paula's funeral was handled by Augustina, who told Soleil that her mother's "ghost" had returned and cared for Aunt Paula until her death.
After dealing with the funeral, Soleil returns to Madrid, and the "ghost" returns with her.
After a series of mishaps, Ramona meets the "ghost".
Years of grievances made Ramona unwilling to face her mother/"ghost". Under the persuasion of her daughter, Ramona reconciled with her mother/"ghost".
It turned out that the "ghost" was not the ghost, but the mother herself.
After being cheated on by her husband, her mother and father separated.
After learning from Aunt Paula that the estrangement between Ramona and the family was due to her husband's sexual assault, the mother was furious and burned her husband and mistress (Augustina's mother) in the hut.
The villagers mistakenly believed that it was Lemona's parents who burned to death, and her mother had to wander the countryside for many years in the name of "ghost".
Ramona reconciles with her mother, and the mother and daughter reconcile with Augustina.
Ramona decided not to sell the house in her hometown and returned to Madrid to continue living by herself, while her mother chose to stay behind to take care of Augustina, who was suffering from cancer.

When it comes to movies about domestic violence, perhaps the first thing that many people think of is the movie "The Beginning and End of the Murder of Jin Funan".
But the reason why Xiaoguan recommends "Return" is because "Jin Funan" is more like a fable. It is about a closed space, in an extreme environment, the boundaries of human nature's evil, and how to face this evil. possibility of resistance.
And "Return" is closer to reality. The people and things in the film are more likely to appear in our lives.
In addition to her outstanding beauty, Lemona is a mother who is entangled in firewood, rice, oil and salt.
And Buck isn't a bad guy with a face, at least he once treated his stepdaughter as if he were his own.
The relationship between the two is just like a couple in real life. Even though Lemona is dissatisfied with Buck, facing outsiders' teasing about her husband's unemployment, Lemona still chooses to lie to protect her husband's dignity.
"Jin Funan" spends a lot of energy to describe the harm of the surrounding environment to Jin Funan: physical violence, verbal violence, sexual violence, and finally points to a theme - can't bear it, no need to bear it anymore!
In "Return," Paula kills Buck at 18 minutes into the film.
The rest of the time, with a touch of humor, tells how Ramona handles corpses and how women's lives change without a man.
You don't have to have those heroines in "Charlie's Angels", "Tomb Raider", and "Kill Bill" to do this, even if a housewife like Lemona can still use her housework skills to deal with the dead body. Right.
Even if someone finds bloodstains, a casual "girl thing" can be easily put aside.
Moreover, in the process of disposing of the corpse, Lemona can also make a fortune by the way.
"Jin Funan" is saying: Don't mess with women! Push the woman too hard and she will kill you!
And "Return" warns: Women will not only kill you, but also make you disappear!
And, without you, women's lives will get better and better!
Do not believe?
The title tells you: In this world, women live longer than men!

In the film, Lemona sang: The snow of time leaves marks on my face... 20 years are just a blink of an eye, this is just a moment of life... Come back, my unyielding soul!
