Hope always runs out, especially against life.
Gorgeous clothing, vulgar Quebec French, and less stable income, philistinism that doesn't take a minute to feel. Diane, like many women on the street, is the type to be reluctant to take a second look. Especially at my age, poetry, dreams, and distant places are stuffed in my mind. How can I spend more time on a woman who is immersed in firewood, rice, oil, and salt.
This unfortunate woman has a hapless son with ADHD or some kind of emotional disorder, who beats people every day and causes a lot of trouble, and their lives start like this.
Isn't this kind of life very ordinary, ordinary people's life. Yes, in the life of an ordinary person, after his son made a mistake, he pretended to be tough and refused the request of the social worker to take care of his son, called over and over again and begged his friends to give him a translation job, and faced the son who came back from the supermarket. Cargo angry and helpless.
When it comes to "hope", we often think of something grand. For example, the Allies landed in Normandy, superheroes fought against evil forces, and "Hope" died heroically for a cause. And Dolan told me, "Hope" is also living humbly for something. Compared with fighting and killing monsters to save all mankind, sometimes what we need most is the most ordinary life.
If I want to watch a movie on the weekend, then watching a movie is my "hope" for this week. No matter how busy this week is, I feel hopeful when I think about that movie on the weekend. If I want to go to Xiamen next vacation, then going to Xiamen is my "hope" for the past six months. Knowing that I will lie on the beach in Xiamen allows me to persevere in this hard half year. If, I want to cure a person, like someone with ADHD and affective disorder, I will do everything I can because I believe he can.
Hopefully it's not just a word that stays in articles, it's a way of life. With it, Diane has the confidence to fight to the death with life, and with it, many little people like Diane can persist in living. But they don't talk about "hope" - they're not kings or heroes, and have epics to record their every word. They just swallow "hope" in their stomachs, and then go on with their lives with a sigh of relief. So it's not surprising that the word "hope" would pop up in a layman like Diane, even if there were no epics to her credit.
Diane, Kayla, and Steve were really in harmony together, and the dance the three of them danced to music in the kitchen stayed in my head for days after watching the movie. In my impression, there are not many people who dance to music in the kitchen, except for He Baorong and Li Yaohui. The most touching thing was the scene where Diane took Steve to dinner with the male lawyer. When Steve shouted "he just wants to fuck you", Diane pretended to deny it calmly. This episode was designed by Dolan too well. Trying to cover the sharp edges and corners of life in front of the child is a mother's heart. I think Diane understands that not only does she want to live a life of hope, but she also wants her son to have hope.
When I was just sensible, I swore that I would never become a person like Diane in my life, dragging my family around, cursing, vulgar, and being forced by life. But I often find that such seemingly low-level things are actually a person's long-term battle with life. I just watched "To Kill a Mockingbird" not long ago. The protagonist is also a person who is fighting with life. He said, "Real bravery is when you know you will lose in some things, but you still persevere to the end." This kind of bravery , because of hope, because of the belief that you can win, even if you will eventually lose to life.
At the end of the writing, I suddenly remembered a passage from Wang Xiaobo: "I was 21 years old that day, in the golden age of my life. I had a lot of extravagant hopes. I wanted to love, I wanted to eat, and I wanted to become a half-dark sky in an instant. Cloud. Later I learned that life is a slow process of being hammered. People get older day by day, their extravagant hopes disappear day by day, and finally they become like a hammered cow. But I didn't foresee this when I was 21 years old. I felt like I would go on forever and nothing would hit me."
***Dolan's film is amazing, he chose to discuss the lives of some universal, ordinary and even vulgar people, taking a step from the ultra-personal realm of homosexuality for the first time. The modeling of Diane is very sophisticated. It's really tsk tsk tsk 0.0 to be able to grasp a woman's heart at such a young age. But Steve's camera, sliding on a shopping cart, sliding down a skateboard in the sun, etc., is very juvenile, reminding us that he still very young. Now may be a transitional period. In the future, Dolan may use a calm and steady tone to describe the world, or he may darken the picture and restrain his emotions. But Dolan, who is young and full of emotions at this time, really makes people want to listen to all his stories.
