hate each other

In the afternoon, I got up at 4 o'clock and watched this movie.

In fact, it was the title of the movie that attracted me. It makes people wonder what kind of love-hate entanglement between the mother and son.

After watching it, I was still a little disappointed. The audience said that the whole movie is biased towards Wong Kar Wai, and I don't like Wong Kar Wai's narrative style, haha. But the film still has a good sense of immersion, and the final ending is also very feel. Bell finally chose to reconcile with himself and his mother.

Maybe all children hate their mother, but all children love their mother, except Bell. He wanted to move out, he wanted to get away from his mother, he tried to change, but all failed, he argued with his mother, they complained to each other. At first, they were too similar.

Genes are the fate that we cannot escape. We have all seen the dark side of our parents. We once warned ourselves that we must not do this in the future. At first, in the process of our growth, we did not realize that we became more and more like our parents.

The quarrel between Bell and his mother may be a quarrel with another self at a different time, with a different background and with a different identity.

Mom finally found Bell, in a place only the two of them knew, where they had lived happily ever after. They sit there and don't speak. I don't know, it's just a renunciation, or a declaration of their reconciliation.

This may be the years when we can't escape, can't escape, know each other, love each other, and hate each other on the way of growing up.

    Many scenes use the strings and slow motion in "In the Mood for Love", so the style is very Wong Kar-wai. Given that it is the first work written, directed and acted by a 20-year-old young director, it is an excellent work on the whole except that the rhythm is a bit slow. The mother's outburst at the end can get a small acting award.
