CRY FOR ME

It is a visual feast to watch a movie with simple but strong colors on the big screen: the bright red, black and white of the blockbuster flow in the movie. The male characters are like passers-by, but vaguely make women the puppets of fate. When there was still light, at least there was Anbu that made people feel hesitant, confused, and struggling. When everything was calm, all those who were still alive formed alliances with lies. They are no longer afraid and eager to be seen through, because such people, those who can hear, have been banished (Anna banished, second sister died).

The shouts and whispers seemed to disappear at least twice. The first time was when they tried to get close to each other, and the two sisters had a silent conversation. The second and last time was when they completely lived in the lie and made the lie cover the truth. Before that, it is true to shout loudly; it is true to embrace and approach; it is true to avoid silence; it is true to stab the knife into the lower body; it is true to vent emotions; After this, the same is like a coin, the negatives forgotten are pure white and the swing; the positives left are the raven and the decision. Probably there is no light and no entrance, but people always have to live.

There is also the pain of the three sisters, so thinking about the physical pain of the second sister is still the happiest, the pain of the elder sister's brokenness and lies, and the incomprehensible younger sister. After watching "Marriage Life" (about sex: wife's conservative concept and later sexual liberation kkk) and "Shouting and Whispering", is there a feminism factor in it: in this film, Anna changes clothes for the eldest sister. The camera lens, layer by layer, day after day, is a suffocation that has long flowed/stayed in the capillaries and is accustomed to neglect: the mirror allows the dressing person to see the real eyes, but it also makes her subconsciously escape and say don't look at it with such eyes I. In the big close-up, they all have the moment of looking at the audience.

    Is it the sound of slowly tearing the heart apart?

Cries & Whispers quotes

  • Isak: Agnes, my dear child, listen to what I tell you now. Pray for those of us left behind on this dark and miserable earth beneath a cruel and empty sky. Lay your suffering at God's feet and plead with him to pardon us. Plead with him to free us of our anxiety, our weariness, and our deepest doubts. Plead with him to give meaning to our lives.

  • Karin: It's a web of lies, all of it.
