A mother, also a doctor, was jailed for fifteen years for the murder of her 6-year-old son. After she was released from prison, her sister took her to live at home. The overall tone of the story is flat and tender, but it contains such a scary fact. Of course, the scary fact is on the surface, and what is reflected in it is love.
He was sentenced to 15 years in prison for killing his own son, but he remained silent during the trial and never defended himself a word. This plot itself has a question ambush? And who would believe that a mother would kill her son, and it was such a young son, and the heroine Juliet, thin and beautiful, silent, always smoking a cigarette sadly, playing the piano, likes smoking, and likes to sit in coffee shops. It is hard for people to believe that she was the murderer of her own son, and the film attracts people to watch.
In the end, the mystery is revealed: there is actually a deep maternal love, the most selfless and greatest love in the world. Because the son suffers from a rare disease, his body will become more and more stiff until it becomes a corpse, because the disease is incurable, and he cannot bear to make his son suffer. After spending a happy day with his son, he was euthanized. How much love and courage a mother needs to euthanize her son. In the end, he felt that he had lost all hope and that it was his mother's fault that his son got sick. Therefore, he did not make any excuses during the trial and punished himself with 15 years in prison.
This is the first line of the film, the mother's love, and of course the sisters' mother's love for them, sister Leah's love for her adopted Vietnamese daughter.
The second line is family affection, especially sisterhood. There is a big age difference between the sisters. The sister took her to dance classes, taught her to play the piano, sang together, and ate snacks together. The two have very warm memories. However, after the Shizi incident happened to the elder sister, the parents forcefully brainwashed the younger daughter, so that the memory of the elder sister disappeared. No one saw Juliet during her fifteen years in prison. But my sister has been thinking about her sister all the time, remembering it every day in the diary, and keeping her sister's photos. And after her sister was released from prison, she was brought home to live with her father-in-law and daughter, which is very important for those who are released from prison. The two sisters regained the beauty of the past when they got along day and night, and took care of the family together.
The third line is interracial love. The world is getting smaller and the fraternity among different races is more apparent. The two sisters are English-French half-breeds, and the younger sister's husband is Polish-Russian half-breed. The two adopted 2 Vietnamese girls and truly love them. My sister's colleague as a university teacher includes refugee families from Iraq who often come to their home for gatherings.
I've watched so many movies recently, all of which are just simple reviews. This movie makes me want to write a long review. The film moved me and made me feel warm. Although it started with a terrifying plot, it ended with a warm feeling. The tone of the film is gloomy and dark, and the texture of the image is more important, which is in line with the character of the main character, and the guitar soundtrack is very pleasant. In addition, there are rich characters, a silent and cold sister, a warm and contradictory sister, a humorous and sad colleague, a parole officer who committed suicide for no reason... All of them seem to be living happily, but they have their own troubles.
Although it is a movie, it makes people feel that this is our own life.
Worth a look.
