Dissolving the resonance of the foundation of life

"Pieces Of A Woman" is translated as "Women's Fragments", which tells a very simple story. When Martha was giving birth at home, she suffered a dystocia, and the loss of her child chained many bad things in her life, which hit her together.

I like all the films that can put "human pessimism is not connected" in place, Martha cares about losing the child itself, her husband and mother care about bringing down the midwife, no one is wrong, no one I didn't play a bad guy, but sometimes, the people in this world and you who are connected to each other will always walk on two different paths from you, or even the opposite path.

Martha and her husband Sean expressed pain in the face of losing their child, and they had different ways of dispelling the pain. Martha was more inclined to feel the pain and deconstruct the pain, but Sean wanted to avoid this path directly. They can't dissolve each other, they can only create a strong resonance together, and shake the foundation of marriage and family that seems to be without problems.

I really like that Martha, who likes to eat apples at the end of the film, has a mature apple tree and a child who loves to climb trees. From the camera alone, we don't know who the child is raised with. From the camera, we only know that this A tree, and those apple seeds that Martha usually leaves behind to sprout, I don't know exactly what hope in life is, but it's probably in very, very small things that you don't care about.

    Three and a half! The male and female lead actors are very good. The family gathering in the bathroom and the three scenes in the courtroom are very good. The only thing that is a bit fragmented is what the male protagonist said to the lawyer, "If only I met you earlier", in fact, after watching the whole film, the relationship between the male and female protagonists is still very deep The change of the man in the later period was also due to the pain of losing his daughter and the powerlessness of trying to change the relationship between the two parties but to no avail, so saying this sentence is a bit speechless. Vanessa Kirby's acting is okay too, but prefers her performance in The Crown.

    Questions about how people put the "pieces" back together after trauma. I love the director's narrative pacing, the ambitious, immersive childbirth sequence at the beginning, and the script's life-like details about intimacy. At the same time, I also like its most fundamental cruelty - the fragments without a partner, family, or friends who can really accompany you, and some pain and loneliness are destined to belong to the individual. But it's also the most encouraging conclusion, because it also means that no one can really stop you, no matter how tightly bound you are. After all the real events, I can't really ridicule the last given dream in this story.

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.
