Age of Helplessness, Elegy of Destiny, Deepness of Human Nature
The unfortunate and helpless things that each generation is young are different. Just as the parents at the dinner table talked about the past, they were worried about eating and drinking, and the two young people sitting in the painting were indeed surrounded by their misfortune. . With the development of society, people's troubles have also changed, but what remains the same is that the power of the times is always imposed on someone. Like the placenta, it is tightly connected to the baby through the umbilical cord. You cannot disconnect it. You rely on it to survive. alive. Under such unchangeable circumstances, people's thoughts and behaviors have also become cunning, and the black blood in the depths of human nature is slowly infiltrating.
At that time, Romanian socialist parties faced the disintegration of Eastern Europe, and military service, unreasonable legal demands, and the people's grief at the beginning of the government's incapacity were all over the country. Abortion is illegal by law, but the story takes place in this context when so many women died in humiliation during that period. Otilia's roommate Gabiti became pregnant unexpectedly, but her boyfriend disappeared. Gabiti helped Otilia to have an abortion. The girl didn't have too much money, and in the end, Otilia had to exchange her body for Gabiti. Afterwards, Otilia didn't know what to complain about, so she had to scold why the previous occupant of this room wanted to check out today, causing herself to get into trouble. Otilia lives in that society, she has been assimilated by the society, and what she should really complain about is not just those coincidences, but the values that this society imposes on people and its unreasonable rules and regulations. Regarding the social system, the film also repeatedly raised the words "conscription", "military" and "rural" with obvious characteristics of the times. Class prejudice still exists, and Romanian socialism still does not change people's prejudice against farmers and soldiers Views, changes in the world situation, unrest in the country, young people sent to the army, they are helpless and insecure. This also makes Otilia, who is both a rural father and a soldier in the film, very sensitive to people talking about her hometown and discussions about farmers and soldiers.
There is one point in the film that I don't understand very much, when faced with the stupid and lied Gabiti who screwed everything up, Otilia just complained and still ran to the west to deal with Gabiti. things, and even left without saying goodbye at her boyfriend's family dinner. Is it just friendship? But when I thought about it, I came to a point of view, the main characters in this film, the human nature in their hearts is not pure and innocent. In the film, Otilia dedicated herself to Gabiti, just like a mother, but does she have any motives? At the end of the film, Otilia ran to the car, but vomited under the street light, but she didn't drink; she refused the invitation from her boyfriend's parents at the dinner party, and never touched the drink; she went to her boyfriend, as if unfounded. When she asked her boyfriend what to do if she was pregnant, her boyfriend was silent at first, and then she started to promise that she would be responsible if it was true. Then she said that her boyfriend didn't know how to help her at all, and finally left in tears. From a rational point of view, if she was not pregnant , This has nothing to do with her now, but she cares so much that she has a big fight with her boyfriend and seems to be too sensitive. If you dare to speculate, she is pregnant. This also gave her a motivation to pay for Gabiti for free. Otilia said to her boyfriend, "Only Gabiti can help me." So, what to help? pregnancy abortion. For her only trusted friend, Otilia could give like herself when she had an abortion. After all, she is for herself. Then this movie, from the perspective of the main characters, does not have a pure heart, a doctor who is black-hearted and greedy and oppresses the two, Gabiti who betrays his friends and lies everywhere, a hypocritical boyfriend who lacks responsibility, and can give up everything for his own interests. Otilia. Of course this is just speculation, maybe the protagonist is not pregnant. But human nature is still dark no matter what the situation is.
The only innocent person was the blood-red baby wrapped in a white towel. He had no life when he landed in the world with a slap. Maybe he was also lucky and escaped this dark and ruthless world without pain. As mentioned earlier, people are connected to the placenta of society by the umbilical cord, from which black blood is transported. Is this baby's wish to be separated from its mother's body?
(From my aimless guesses and thoughts...)
