The root of the pain of lack of education - "Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always"

Today, let's talk about the movie "Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always".

Title Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020), alias Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020).

At this year's 70th Berlin International Film Festival, the film, which was created almost entirely by women, successfully attracted everyone's attention. "Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always" ended up with the highest score in the journal, and was nominated for the Golden Bear and the Silver Bear Jury Prize.

The film tells the situation of women in modern society with a very simple story.

"Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always" stars a pair of teenage girls from rural Pennsylvania.

Autumn, a 17-year-old girl, became pregnant unexpectedly, and it took more than ten weeks to find out that there was something wrong with her stomach. Pennsylvania's abortion law expressly states that minors must have parental consent to have an abortion.

Autumn just wanted to hide it from her parents, so she went to New York for an abortion, accompanied by her cousin Skylar.

The simple plot reflects the story of a teenage abortion. There are many films of the same type, "Two Days in April", "Juno", "Vera Drake", "Left Ear", why this "Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always" can become a high score What about the winning works? It is probably based on the expression of restraint, using the power of light and shadow to express a predicament that has been oppressed for a long time.

There are not many lines in the film, even when the two cousins ​​are together, there are not many conversations, and more time is reserved for actions without dialogue, expressing the plight of women who have been hurt through cold actions.

It is very obvious that the whole film revolves around the perspective of Autumn. What she saw and heard became what the audience saw and heard, and the audience could feel the world she lived in every day.

At the same time, the male images in the film are all negative images. When Autumn sang at the beginning, the male classmates yelled at her slut slut; in the supermarket where Autumn and Skylar worked part-time, the male boss took the opportunity to kiss their arms every day, the old man customer's embarrassing chat; the stepfather who was always cold and violent; Perverted exhibitionist lewd man.

Living in such an environment all day, anyone would do it, and it would be so depressing to breathe.

Autumn tried to swear her own body sovereignty by piercing her own nose ring; she tried to complete the miscarriage by beating her belly, and all she could get was a scar on her belly.

In the abortion clinic, Autumn faced many acute problems, and through these problems, Autumn gradually realized that she was not able to take good care of herself.

The answer to these questions is the title "Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always".

Has your sex partner ever forced you not to wear a condom?

a. never b. rarely c. sometimes d. always

Does your sexual partner coerce to have sex with you when they don't want to?

a. never b. rarely c. sometimes d. always

Has your sexual partner ever used violence against you?

a. never b. rarely c. sometimes d. always

Anyone who stops and thinks about these questions will be shocked.

Autumn's answer made the audience realize that her private life is indeed chaotic, lack of proper education and guidance, and the lack of sex education makes women suffer much more than men. Autumn and Skylar jokingly want to be a man all the time. No one has ever taught women the correct way to prevent it, and it's likely that they don't even know what's going on when they're assaulted.

Everyone knows to love themselves, but how do you do it if no one tells you what's right and wrong.

Like the men around Autumn, they are all people who want to make cheap money all the time. They will only unplug the ruthlessness. Naturally, they will not tell her how to love herself. Without knowing what self-love is, asking the Autumns is obviously nonsense.

The multiple dereliction of duty in the family and society, the result is that when the Autumns grow up, they finally understand the hardships they have experienced. It is too late, and the price paid during the period is too high.

There are two other interesting things about Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always.

The first is that Talia Ryder, who plays the role of cousin Skylar, is out of the circle. 17-year-old Talia Ryder promoted "Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always" at the Berlin International Film Festival. With her outstanding appearance, she became a hot spot for everyone. She was on the hot search for several days in a row and successfully went out of the circle. .

The second is that New York's infrastructure is really old.

The source of the pain of lack of education,

Depressed life is powerless to resist.
