There is a layer of light fragrance floating, and the warm summer sun refracted through the gaps in the leaves walks lightly on Jason's black short sleeves, turning into circles of light halos, these halos appear on Beck's curly hair. It swayed into an invisible cocoon, wrapping Beke's gloomy heart little by little. The white wooden chair is appropriately surrounded by green, and Becko and Jason sitting on both ends of the chair, in this summer's green, slowly, slowly, melted the pain in each other's hearts.
"Rabbit Hole" was transformed from a drama into a movie by Nicole's discerning eyes. In Nicole's own words, "it's a movie that gives people hope".
The cyan bitterness is the keynote of the whole film. It is not the imaginary life that will continue immediately no matter what happens, nor the eyes that keep smiling naively in the face of changes, but the slow pace, more, it is to explain a story. When a couple faces the pain of losing a child, how do they hide their pain in different ways.
Becco is like a thin needle, light when it falls and neat when picked up. She used her minimalist self to cover up the past very quickly, holding a handful of cold water on her face, as if everything had passed away. It was as if he was still living his usual life after losing Danny, with his usual treadmill workouts, his usual cleaning, his usual garden cleaning, his usual professional attire. She is trying her best to refrain from looking at each other in the past, and she is also trying her best to restrain her resentment for the bad things around her. Because Bei Ke knew that once she couldn't control herself, her husband who secretly watched his son's video at night would be completely mired in the past. Becco's delicate attire, and the nonchalance she pretends to be, doesn't seem to me to be ruthless and evasive, but a decision made for myself and others after looking back at everyone around me. When a person is in a deep despair, if his lover does not lift him up, but sinks into broken memories with him, then the final outcome will only be a double sinking. So Bei Ke resisted the emotions that had exceeded her limit, moved a little bit, and concealed her depression more and more deeply.
And Howie, more like an isolated stump. He was dizzy when he secretly watched Danny's video late at night when he thought Beck was asleep, and the tears hit the screen of his mobile phone; he finally became hysterical when Becko accidentally deleted Danny's video, and his roar echoed in the small There was resentment in the kitchen. This is a father who has lost a child, a husband who does not understand his wife's forbearance but blames the other party, and a sensual middle-aged man who listens quietly in the chat group and finally covers his eyes. Compared with Becker, Howie is more casual and less self-imposed. He cries when he wants to cry, laughs when he wants to laugh, and when he wants to speak, he can be honest in the chat group without hesitation. Howie's pain was buried beneath the surface, outward, easily palpable. If he wasn't Beke, he would definitely not understand the deeper hiding. Compared with Beke, his hiding was more like a bat exposed to the sun. He was not afraid of weathering and erosion, but he was afraid that the sun would accidentally take everything away.
This couple, in the film's light narrative, from sadness, to depression, to resentment and helplessness. They cover up the wounds in their own different ways. Even if the blood flow is not constant, they are unwilling to stop the bleeding face to face. This is an independent way of getting along, but it hurts the independent other party. In the face of the loss of a loved one, and in the face of death, everyone can never be adequately prepared. Even if you have faced death up close, it is difficult to be truly peaceful the next time you look directly at it.
The movie portrays a real couple who are at a loss in the face of death, and even nearly lost each other in a hurry. They cry in the face of death, and even close to the extreme night in their respective dark nights. But fortunately, in the end, they may have seen the bright star in the darkest night.
It would be too much of a cliché if the film were just a bland account of Beck and Howie's journey over the loss of a child. Another highlight of this film is the interspersed multi-line narrative. One of the lines is a forgiving adventure between Jason and Beck, the perpetrator and the victim's mother. Another line is Beck's family. I saw that many, many film critics attach great importance to the previous line. In fact, it should be Becco's family that moved me more.
"Rabbit Hole" is also a movie that explores the family. Compared with Becker and Howie's small family, Becker's people are more meaningful. Becco's mother is also an old man who lost her son, and unlike Becco, what she lost was a thirty-year-old addict, not a four-year-old child who only knew how to run after dogs. Even if the loss is an immature and irresponsible son who is addicted to drugs, he will sink deep into the swamp and desperately chase traces of the past. This is Beck's mother. She doesn't care what outsiders think of herself, or how her daughter thinks of herself, she always brings up old stories about Arthur, and always compares Arthur and Danny. She was talking to herself about how God gave her the most powerful strength and how to get her out of despair, she was talking to herself about Arthur's past, she was talking, slowly, slowly, alone Walked through the darkest self. So when Becko was also in the darkness she used to be, as a mother, she stretched out her hand to hug Becko, she stretched out her clumsy body to warm her heart that had been cold for too long, but the strong Becko But how can you understand such warmth.
In the absence of understanding and not being understood, people, even relatives, even blood, are backtracking to their respective edges.
What I can't understand is that Becco forgave the perpetrator, and he can slowly heal his wounds with Jason, why when faced with the kindness of his mother, she responded by roaring, anger, and self-righteousness . This is probably the strangest mentality of human beings, being strict with the closest people and tolerant with the most unfamiliar people. This also clearly shows that the Chinese and Western cultures are indeed very different. If in China, roaring at your mother to vent your emotions or even directly pointing at the pain of her mother, it has long been forbidden and not allowed.
The whole movie is like a very light piano piece, with no unnecessary arguments, just a group of people walking around in confusion, and finally met the inflection point of love. In fact, each of us will face unforeseen changes, family disputes, friends, betrayals, setbacks and disproportionate efforts, and most importantly, one day, we will face big The last thing most people want to face is death. I remember that when I read "Suddenly Went to Tibet", the point of view that I always emphasized was "acceptance", and these two words became more and more embossed on my forehead.
Yes, life does stop and go, and it is true that a gust of wind will suddenly blow into the clueless virgin forest on the straight road. We walked and walked, thinking that we would go to the ends of the earth, we walked and walked, thinking that we would go to a dream of Red Mansions. But suddenly there was a sudden brake, and what I saw was not the sea and the rocks, but a heavy rain. Everyone was so drenched in such heavy rain that they even said that they would not recognize themselves, and even said that they would deviate from their original trajectory. But no matter how passive, sinking, and forbearance, the heavy rain is still falling, and it will not stop. Some people slowly stabilized their mood in the mud and groped to their hearts on the road, while some people indulge in it. And the heavy rain is just like this. It doesn't stop when it stops, and it won't stop forever. As Forrest Gump said, "Suddenly it was like someone turned off the tap and the sun came out". In fact, there will be such a day after all, perhaps a person walked into the world with this sunny day, or a cat returned to your narrowness with the warm sun. More likely, and more hopeful, that he opened the knot in his heart in the stumble, opened it for himself, and also opened a series of rusty locks.
Maybe life is just slowly spreading out in the cyan bitterness, paving a road that is not bright, but seeing the ends of the earth around the corner. Look more at the sun, the sun is still far away, but the light is as bright as before; look at the stars, the stars are few, but the brightness is the same as before.
Experiencing a grand death, accompanied by that person in the past, also means the meaning of rebirth. After all, the power of forgiveness allows despair to slowly fade and hope to slowly regenerate.
