The heroine is so beautiful, she does nothing but shines in the crowd, but what makes her attractive is not just her beauty, but the way she lives hard. She worked as a waitress in the laundry room and then opened a restaurant for others Cooking food, every move is to show calmness to the blessings of life, is it hard? It's hard not to put yourself in the shoes, but she doesn't show it at all, it seems that it doesn't matter. In addition to being calm in the face of life, there is also an optimistic attitude in the face of any hardship, a ubiquitous smile, hurried handling of various affairs, and even a good grasp of the bottom line when dealing with people. These qualities are all just right. It seems that her role as the heroine is confirmed everywhere.
The heroine who shines so brightly, I may suspect that the director and life treat beautiful people, but compared to her sister, the daughter of the film, she is also very hardworking and lovely, struggling to survive in Galore and in life. Rolling in without complaint. Their situation is equally difficult, but the same is to make a living and work hard, so this kind of doubt can be temporarily lifted.
Of course, her optimism is not unique to the family. The neighbor in the film, the exile prostitute who smuggled from some country, and the daughter of a dying hippie, are equally optimistic and candid about life, enjoying food and music, and they Don't worry about the future, don't have regrets about the past, only embrace the present and make every effort.
...and then you realize that the whole moment portrays such a group of women who, in a world where male characters are almost completely absent, live very passionately, genuinely love life, brave and fearless. They may not have advanced knowledge, they are not strong women, nor are they the wives of other people's families, they are just ordinary housewives, widows, or even a dusty woman, but they are not inferior.
Yes, enthusiasm, just like the main tone of this movie, what is more eye-catching than the bloody death is their enthusiasm, as if everything in life is worth embracing, and every effort should be used for life. A woman with such a personality is impressive and gives a lot of strength to the present. Even though it is difficult, there is no way out. Although ordinary, we still have to sing loudly.
Under the camera, these charismatic women are the director's darling, but the society they live in is the director's drawing paper. How to draw and what to draw bear the director's social attributes and thinking imprints. So, putting aside the individual human characteristics, we will see their sociality, which is obviously full of tragedy. This kind of tragedy is like a microcosm of an exotic culture, expanding the boundaries of our thinking and breaking through the bottom line of morality. A father who raped his daughter, a father who tried to rape his adopted daughter, a husband who had an affair all day long. Subconsciously we ask a lot of questions, shouldn't they be judged? Judged by whom? Who has rights? The director didn't answer, at least he didn't judge in a moral and supreme civilized country, but handed it over to his darling, those omnipotent women to judge, they are not weak and helpless, they may be facing men When it is weak, it needs those provisions and non-existent laws. However, their zeal for life cannot win these, and the only means they can resort to: arson and wrongful death. In the same way, just like a man who is never judged to harm women all the time, the director deliberately created the phenomenon of women who are not judged. The lethality of both sexes exists at the same time, and the boundaries of the law are blurred. Do you feel uneasy? Frankly, I don't, and seem to believe that these people are so decisive and "vicious" in all but the men who bring them bad luck, and are qualified citizens in any other situation. Just like the woman in Deadly Woman.
Perhaps, seeing that women living at the bottom of society can only adopt such "terrifying" methods in order to gain a little normal living space, you will feel great sadness on the one hand and great sadness on the other. Is this the status quo of Spanish society at the bottom? Is it possible to take it all in one? It seems that the director's female perspective is very thorough, and when the camera is aimed at them, he will not begrudge his praise; on the contrary, completely ignore the existence of the men who indulge in extramarital affairs and football beer, as if they should be murdered by non-existent the victim. Feeling the line in the director's mind has a stronger need to portray the masculinity that is widely pursued by the grandiose social culture and women who are in the same society as them.
The translation of this film into "Return" is unknown, but what is the reason for the translation? What metaphors or extended meanings? I thought about it for a long time, but I have no clue. It is the natural connection between mother and daughter. The same pain makes them closely connected. No matter how many estrangements in the past, we must return to the road of mutual understanding. Is this a return at this level? Or is it some kind of understanding and empathy? For example, the neighbor was so kind and pitiful. She probably guessed the truth, but she kept asking for proof and she could truly choose to forgive at the end. In the end, is it still possible that the heroine once again showed her singing voice and sang the song "Return". Through the interpretation of this song, it seems that she has really come out of the shadow caused by her parents? And this song is the bond between her and her mother. She took the initiative to repair the bond. Perhaps at this moment, she truly forgives her mother for not understanding her experience. She is strong enough to protect her daughter, and she does not need to bear it. That kind of fear is gone, and the hurt that was once a thing of the past is gone...
In a distant China, I am full of yearning for the fascinating colors and enthusiasm of people in this foreign country. For a long time, I can always be new in my cognitive vision. There are only abstract things such as the European Union and the European Cup, which are extremely lacking. concrete understanding. This movie is a wake-up call to remind us of the inertia of our thinking to generalize the social culture of a certain country. From this perspective, every movie has a similar function, but this movie is also feminine, I would think it is a developed country Have male directors already made it their goal to discuss women's status and voice? Or should I feel that even in developed countries, their living space for women is not so ideal, and there are still so many black holes. From the perspective of women, there is no cultural divide in the discussion of gender equality, and there is always a need to talk about it. So, what about us? Fight first or learn their character first?
