The evening of January 19, 2021
I don't remember where I learned about this film. Before watching it, I might have given it a lot of expectations due to the many praises on the Internet. After watching it, I have an indescribable feeling...
Especially when the artist Zheng Shuang incident was fermenting (not to mention more specifically), I saw some friends compare the heroine's painful experience of losing a child with her, and use characters such as "Keyun" to make fun of it. After watching another friend's evaluation, I concluded this: this film is not just about parent-child relationship, and it cannot be compared.
Like many viewers, I was initially attracted by the 30-minute long shot of home birth (the audience can really feel it, it is really not easy for pregnant women to give birth naturally...), and I was also attracted by that time period. The male protagonist is attracted. To be honest, this should be his highlight moment. His face has been shown urgently, and he has been giving physical help and gentle comforting movements. The contrast with the later derailment and alcoholism can be called "" Dog blood", although I have to admit that this may really be a reality in real life.
A little off topic here~ I really don't want to admit it, and I really regret such a contrast. They both suffer for the daughter they lost together, but they are too "internal", they have not communicated actively and effectively, and they have not embraced openly together. Perhaps this is destined to end. These have nothing to do with gender differences and other reasons. There are many mothers and fathers who love their children in life. Separation, parting, it is doomed to "fate no part".
Another moment I call the brief highlight of the film is the scene where the heroine speaks for the midwife in the second court trial. The lines in this are really good, and they are indeed a little too short. It seems that I just raised my emotions and immediately went down... I was also a little confused by the midwife's performance. Is she showing innocence and gratitude throughout the whole process or what emotions? I feel that the portrayal is a bit unclear, and there is not a single line in the whole process. Maybe it can better highlight the atmosphere without words? I don't understand at all.
So, here comes the key question: the background of the film [Homebirth].
There is no explanation in the film, such as the proportion of the number of births in the family, the psychology of expectant mothers, the success rate of midwives in delivering babies, what adverse symptoms will appear, etc. There is a lot of scientific and medical knowledge to be discussed here. The words "unknown" and "accidental" have been omitted. This is also the psychological fulcrum for the heroine to let go of everything in the end, so I believe that many viewers are a little confused and unclear.
Maybe there is no clear and definite answer to everything, and finally the happy ending: the heroine has a new little life, and the apple trees exude a strong aroma~
Sometimes the mood that cannot be adjusted with all our efforts may really just take time to heal. In the eyes of others, "looking blankly" is not a mistake, it is just a process of relief in our hearts, and we can't always hold others. fault. The departure of anyone is never a kind of sadness, but a beginning. I believe that the mood will never stop, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope.
Because I haven't had the experience of being a mother, I can't feel the real feeling of being a mother. Thank you Mama for your tolerance, let's be kind people together forever~?
