Piecies of a woman, now slowly realizing the meaning of the title, seems to describe the process of how a woman is torn to pieces in the struggle for life and how to put it back together.
Choosing to give birth at home is itself a kind of resistance of the heroine to the mother, and the death of the child also indicates the failure of the resistance of this parent-child relationship. Judging from the ending, in the last two shots, one finally saw the heroine holding her mother who was suspected of having Alzheimer's in relief, and at this time she became the heroine and told her mother: "This is what you ordered, you just like xxx". When the mother is no longer a mother, the daughter is finally liberated from the role of the daughter, and finally reconciled with the mother. At this point, it seems that the heroine finally won the revolution, but then the last scene is when the daughter Lucy asks the heroine what to eat for dinner. Yes. . In fact, it is still the heroine who has the final say. In other words, if I say what you like/what you should eat, you should xxx. The power relationship of the older generation has been reversed (the apple turns black), not the victory of the struggle, but the aging of the people In the process, due to the natural inversion of the strength and weakness of the physiological force, the next generation seems to continue. But I prefer to interpret this clip as that the heroine is not forcing it on the next generation. After the daughter said "then I'm not hungry", there will be a follow-up. The follow-up is that the heroine can wake up through the growth of this incident, and can gradually understand At the time in court, there was no way of knowing why this happened, knowing that I should respect my daughter's choice and stop making my own wine as the reason for this.
Interpreting it from the perspective of feminist generational domination, I would like to introduce what Chizuruko Ueno said in patriarchy and capitalism: "Women are forced to bear unfair costs in this, and under intergenerational domination, women And trying to become an authoritarian exploiter. It's a tragic cycle where the oppressed under the patriarchy oppress the more oppressed. Women and children are not just co-victims under the patriarchy, they can be under the patriarchy From the victim party to the direct perpetrator of the proxy war.”
In fact, both men and women are under the pressure of being pointed out, but the way they face it is different. Men's advantages in physical strength and social status make their resistance more powerful and more justified, while women often need to put in more effort when they want to be loyal to themselves, to control their own destiny, and their own bodies. Everyone agrees that you have the right to choose xxxx, but then you should always xxxx, just like the mother inside never asks Martha how she wants to face or deal with the death of her child, but directly press her own Arrange her will and reason with her all day long. On the surface, it gives freedom and rights to the other party, but in essence it is still trying to manipulate. And many women finally couldn't bear it under this kind of environment and were "assimilated", accepting the sanctions of others "half-handedly", just like agreeing to the sex imposed by Sean on the spot.
We people always like to find out the causal relationship, we love attribution, and it doesn’t matter whether the attribution is correct or not. Anyway, it seems that we need to find the source of the matter to be at ease, but Martha knows that blaming the midwives can’t solve the problem, and it can’t change the tragedy, not to mention the midwives. Not the cause of the error. Maybe it’s unfair to be born to fight for the right to live, but it can’t be a fight for the sake of a fight. Martha’s firm refusal to go to the hospital to give birth is hard to say that it’s not a fight for the sake of fighting, including choosing Sean as her partner. I was wondering why the death of the child caused the separation between the two. Originally, this pain was a common one. It was the difficulty that the husband and wife faced together, which could bind the hearts of the two even tighter, but it turned out that Martha was very cold to Sean. , it was her isolated battle, she did not regard him as a comrade-in-arms or an ally, and there was no communication during the process. The reason may be that Sean was just a tool for Martha to resist her mother. When Martha regarded the death of the child as a tool When she had a rebellious miscarriage, she couldn't see Sean as someone who could empathize and share her pain, and she seemed extra isolated from society. Martha forgot that struggle was a means, not an end. Martha can't escape the responsibility herself, and it is only herself who wants to save herself from the haze.
