a day's compression

Summary: A female college student helps her roommate who was pregnant unexpectedly find an unscrupulous doctor to perform an abortion. In desperation, the two agreed that the doctor would use their own body as the price for the operation, and successfully completed the operation and aborted the child. Film review: The gray tone of the scene is slightly shaken, and the film has suppressed emotions from the beginning. Four months, three weeks and two days of life were squeezed into this one day. Illegal abortion, cigarettes in the black market, and the long shot of the hotel in one go, the shadow of society is naturally revealed. The law stifles the freedom of women to have children, and evil human nature still thrives. Doctors play hard-to-play for the cost of surgery, venting their lust in the body of menstruation and conception. In the toilet, there is a long wait to amplify the anxiety, the purity of the lower body is maintained by the back, and the self-escape by turning on the faucet. Gabita was covered with a quilt to cover her shame, and her inferiority and helplessness were wrapped in the quilt. However, the scars of society could not be covered with a shaming cloth, and the parents at the dinner table shredded the false mask. The movement of the camera connects the emotions of the two women and the audience, examining the dialogue in the fixed camera, approaching Otilia's emotions in the switching of subjective and objective perspectives in the bathroom, shaking the hand-held camera to express fear, mixed with heavy breathing , step by step people fall into the sadness of that era. The life of a newborn kitten in the morning abandoned at night, every turn of the stairs aggravates the guilt and anxiety, the police car, the dog barking, the halo, the gasping, the thumping sound of the baby dropped from the garbage pipe of the high-rise building, and everyone's anxiety is calmed down . Together with the goldfish in the fish tank, they could only hide in the corner, raised their heads, and desperately opened their mouths to breathe the air on the water. The limitations of the times are against the cold air of winter, and the babies curled up on the ground seem to be the fruit of evil, but the last air bubbles floated in the water cup helplessly thrown from a high place, they gasped in the gap between the two trains running towards each other.
