"Twentieth Century Woman" is a film about Dorothy, a 55-year-old single mother. According to director Mill, this film is his love letter to his mother. He said "But the real person in my life, the real person who shaped me is my mum, and she's equally as filmic as a soul". In fact, this is not a simple nostalgia or tribute movie. The movie teases out a very special private feeling and experience. From the perspective of a son and a man, it understands and takes care of such a unique and ordinary woman and mother, and is A teenage son looks at an elderly mother's perspective, so such a mother is full of enigmatic qualities. What the director wants to discuss should be the influence of his mother on him, or how to understand the women around you. All of his other character setups are geared towards fulfilling the role of Dorothy. In the end, when the son read a passage from "It hurs to be alive and obsolete: ageing women" to his mother, she denied that she was the same woman, and at the same time the tearful look would be fixed in your mind, not scattered. This is a very good film, many feelings are not expressed. I was looking for Zoe Moss's "It hurs to be alive and obsolete" for a long time, but to no avail.
