A little personal thought...

The whole film has a neat structure, and the number of times the meaning of apple echoes is just right. Inheritance and transformation do not make people feel deliberate, and the subject matter focuses on middle-aged women: mothers, birth attendants, daughters, sisters. It also resonated with me, a 20-year-old woman.

Every turn is almost predictable, but not boring. The whole film is two hours and seven minutes. It can be said to be procrastinating, or it can be said that the director's long shot wants us to feel the kind of depression and aggrieved. Several times the tears will not let the tears flow out, and the atmosphere rendering is well balanced.

The ending of the trial was as expected, and the final half-open happy ending also gave a proper blank, so as not to worry about where Lucy came from, and there is room to imagine the later happy life of the protagonist Martha. I like it, very moved.

    Martha: This woman, did not intentionally hurt my daughter. That night, she just wanted to deliver a healthy baby. I don't think this is your fault. I don't think it's her fault. I want to thank you. There may be a reason for this to happen, but it's not in this room. If I stand here asking for compensation or for money, then I am, I am saying that what I lost can be compensated, but it cannot be compensated. I can't bring her back to life. No money, sentence, or criminal law can bring her back to life. How can I inflict this pain on other people? Others already suffering? I know she wouldn't want me to do that. Not at all. The brief moment my daughter came into this world was not for me to do that. I'm done, thank you. ——Shang’s good family background and independent thinking allow her to make such choices and express these remarks, while in my real life, I have been exposed to more situations, and I have tried my best, opportunistically, and even framed for more benefits. , blaming others, etc.

    The first part, almost half an hour of the plot, has already caught people to death. The sense of presence and realism is really shocking, seeing people almost suffocated. And then a little bit of farewell and reconciliation. The film is quite straightforward, especially the meaning of Apple. It's mainly the director scheduling and the actors' performances. They are indeed very powerful, and they also increase the emotional appeal of the film. In addition, seeing Savedi by accident was a small surprise.

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.
