The heroine works in a monastery in Ireland. Philomena, as a girl, stole the forbidden fruit and gave birth to a baby boy. She had to work hard for the monastery and only saw her son for an hour a day. One day, a couple came and adopted their son and another girl. In the past fifty years, Philomena has never stopped thinking about herself. By coincidence, she met a reporter Martin through her daughter, and the two embarked on the road to find their son Anthony. Philomena's original intention from beginning to end was to find her son, and the original intention of the reporter was based on certain business interests, and the whole story has changed and the relationship between the two has become more subtle, which is worthwhile. A look at the story.

On the way to the airport, Philomena, who was still in good shape, told the reporter about a novel she had read. The reporter was very tired of this "friend" who was about to go with him. I also felt that this old lady What a chatter, I thought it was a comedy story, and some happy or unpleasant things happened during the search for my son in the United States, and the first half of the relationship between the two was like that. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the movie, the result of looking for a son was thrown out, and it was the real son. He died in 1995. It was great. What is Reagan and the legal adviser of several US presidents. If there is no such thing as finding a son from beginning to end, there will be no normal happy ending, which is a bright spot for the plot.

Then the two learned more about Anthony through their son's friends. When Philomena calmly accepted the news of her son's death and her son's homosexuality, you will find Philomena very calm. , you will even find that she is very wise and can come and go freely. He seems to have long known that his son Anthony is gay, and said that he inferred his sexual orientation from a photo of his denim overalls! It was also concluded that the son died of AIDS. This makes me admire. What Philomena cares most about is whether her son said something or did something before his death, misses his former hometown and something, to show that he misses his biological mother. This is for Philomena. the most important thing. After hitting a wall, the lost Philomena regained hope under the reminder of the reporter, visited her son's boyfriend before his death, and learned that her son had returned to the monastery and looked for his biological mother, which made Philomena full of joy. A trip is right, for everything else is no longer important.

The story goes back to the monastery. In the matter of finding the son, the intermediary was the old nun of the monastery, and by concealing it from Philomena, the two ends were prevented from meeting each other, which led to an even deeper problem from the front of the film! Mother and son were not allowed to see each other because Philomena violated the teachings, and the old nun punished her in the name of God. Could the old nun have the power of life and death in her hands? The deeper meaning is to question the teachings we believe in! Selling children and selling dog meat. Even if Philomena is at fault, the child is innocent. When preventing them from recognizing each other, why not speak for God? The reporter's torture of the old nun also heralded the sublimation of the relationship between the two. At the end, Philomena told the reporter about the story of a book. The reporter was very interested in talking with her. The plot echoed, witnessing family and finding friendship.

    This story is not complicated, but it can also be interpreted from many aspects, such as religion and family affection. But the most touching is the most superficial and direct layer, which is the feelings, misses and regrets between Philomena and her son. Such a story will make you believe in family affection and its value. Both Judy Dench and Steve Coogan are very good, with a variety of personalities. While the film questioned religious hypocrisy, it also made you see the sparkle from Philomena

    The choice of attitude towards religion has contributed to the tragicomedy. The most rare thing is that she can regard her son's sexuality and cause of death as normal, and all she wants is to know any details of his life. There is no hatred in the cracks but cherished tolerance. For the audience, fortunately, a reporter said: "I won't forgive you."
