Kennell Mudluzzo's first English-language film in Hollywood, Kata Webb continues as a screenwriter, Martin Scorsese is executive producer, Vanessa Kirby's brilliant performance is commendable, and her outstanding performance is enough to win Oscar nomination, Shia LaBeouf as a supporting role, can only be said to play normally, the role itself is only a foil for the role of Martha in the back, the old actor Ellen Posting and Vanessa Kirby's opponent play gives people brought many surprises.
The long shot at the opening shows the painful childbirth process. Speaking of this wonderful part alone, it makes people feel the same torment with the characters. Although the development in the later part of the film is long, I always feel that the rhythm is a bit problematic and the plot is long. This is really looking for A life melodrama with pieces of Martha's heart, the other characters are a bit hysterical.
Husband Sean and mother Elizabeth, the relationship between Martha and Sean has been drifting further and further beyond repair, cheating, cold violence, different views, and serious class division between Martha's mother Elizabeth, and eventually separated, when the mother wants Taking the midwife to court, as a son-in-law, she chose to compromise. Martha wanted to get rid of all painful experiences, but her mother insisted that everyone see it and make a so-called voice. Everything was mainly due to the conflict of views between her daughter and her mother.
The mother's actions made the people fight and protest. On the surface, she encouraged her daughter, but in fact it destroyed everything. The outbreak of lines between the two was a bright spot, and the reconciliation was quiet. Although the outcome in the court was already guessed, The impact of Martha's catharsis still moved me, and I felt that I could finally let it go. Compared with the director's performance in European films, the handling in the film became more restrained.
The film has a European feel to it. The metaphor of the apple is only realized at the end. The ending is idealized. A mother uses apple seeds to grow an apple tree. The apple tree came to commemorate her. I don’t know if the child was remarried or adopted. It was Martha’s consolation. As the bridge of the scene time mirror, the daughter was not the first to walk on the bridge, but the first to sprinkle it on the bridge. The ashes of the seabed.
Martha can finally end all these sad experiences in the way she wants, finally get rid of the rules her family has brought her, do not need to be controlled by her mother, watch the only picture of the baby being born, and face the loss Fragments.
And if stand here and ask for compensation or money, then am-- I'm saying that I can be compensated, and I can't. How can I give this pain to someone else? Someone who's already suffered?
