Several times I wanted to give up a movie that I didn't watch... The first 30 minutes of the plot made me so worried, I repeatedly sighed in my heart: Why didn't you go to the hospital? ? ? Having a baby is so painful! ! ! Don't have children in the future... Everyone's coping mechanism is very different after the incident. The physical changes after pregnancy remind the heroine all the time what she has experienced and what she has lost. Obviously it should be the heaviest "loss" The client has always been emotionally restrained. I think there is no way to relieve the pain of the heroine's loss of the role of mother. There is no way to relieve it. You can only slowly accept the reality and digest the pain, but in this During the process, the people around her did not give her enough understanding and comfort. Everyone was telling her what to do with "for your own good". Every time the hostess's mother said "that's the right thing", I thought Tell her to shut up? Fortunately, the fierce dialogue between the mother and daughter at the back, the heroine shouted my heart...

In the name of sadness, my husband started drinking alcohol again, even cheating and taking drugs... This made me think again, and being too dependent on something might imply that this man's heart is very fragile and he needs to put himself His happiness rests on some kind of object, which may have been alcohol and drugs in the past. After having a heroine, it has become love, children... When the spiritual support he relies on collapses, he will be defeated.

Maybe everyone has their own way of healing. I still agree with the heroine's handling of emotions in the film. During the whole process, the heroine gave me the feeling that the emotions have always been forbearance. It is not that she is not sad but she does not know what to do. To release this emotion, and even a little confused, she can only continue to live and turn her attention to other places, such as cultivating apple seeds. The hope of life also came back.

I also appreciate the plot where the midwives are not held legally accountable at the end. Not passing on one's grief or anger to innocent people is a lesson that society needs to make up for.

    There is no winter that will not pass, and spring will always come. The hardest part is the cold and rough spring stage, just get through it. Otherwise, the day will slowly lose its meaning like a deflated balloon. Every woman is a strong and flexible hero. Everyday fear of having children, watching such a movie even more resistance, of course, more and more admiration for every great mother.

    It is recommended to all female audiences. In the story of women saving women, women still have to rely on themselves in the end, but the husband also took the most crucial photos, with an open ending, the heroine can save herself and love, if she wants

Pieces of a Woman quotes

  • Elizabeth: And I'm ashamed of me. That I wasn't a good enough mother to teach you how to stand up and speak for yourself, for God's sakes. And to deal with this. Like my mother taught me. After my father went into the ghetto, my mother found a shack, an empty shack, that she went into and gave birth to me. Without any help at all. She stashed me under the floorboards when she had to go out and steal food. So she could make milk enough to keep me alive, but just alive. Not strong enough to cry, or we'd be caught. When she finally got me to a doctor, he advised her to just let me go. That I wasn't... I wasn't strong enough to survive. But when she absolutely insisted, he picked me up by my feet and held me up like a chicken and said, "If she tries to lift her head, then there's hope." And you know what I did, Martha? I lifted my head. That's what I'm asking you to do now. Lift your head and fight for yourself, for God's sakes! Go out there and face that woman.

  • Lane: Yes, how did you feel holding your baby you had just given birth to?

    Martha: She smelled like an apple.
