A quiet movie, the plot is not innovative, but when the truth about the heroine Juliet (Kristin Scott Thomas) paying the price of 15 years in prison is revealed, even if it is a gentle description, it is not tragic and tragic, but it has been The heroine's vicissitudes since the beginning and the heartache and grief that have been pulled by the deep are still raging all the way.
"Choose silence completely"
asked Juliet's parole officer, "Why did you choose silence during the trial?" Juliet's originally cold and calm attitude suddenly became furious: "Do you think I would choose to confess to you at this time? "She was justifiably angry. Everyone is curious about his motives, not because they really want to understand her experience and pain, but because of "curiosity", even expecting to find something strange, and then pityfully say "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" But "in the world There are some things that can't be solved, the pain, how to explain it to others?"
Therefore, Juliet chose to use complete silence to hide the pain of losing her love, and she regarded life in prison as letting her son experience physical and mental pain before death. redemption. Juliet chose to face the grief in her own way. Even if she was abandoned by her biological parents and forgotten by her biological sister, she still refused to speak or did not want to speak. She used her usual flat response and deep eyes to block all concerns, and the only thing she did was shedding. The grief that comes out of the heart is to stop in front of Emile Friant's work "La Douleur] ﹝ Grief﹞".
"I'm not someone else, I'm your sister"
The little girl who admired her sister 15 years ago grew up and started her own family. When the whole world abandoned her sister, Leia bravely took her back to live with her and let her She comes into her life, interacting with her family and friends, giving her the opportunity to readjust to society. Juliet asks if Lea has forgotten her? Leia took out old notebooks to prove that she put her sister in her heart, not only that, but Leia kept trying to get close to Juliet's heart with "I'm not someone else, I'm your sister". The hidden secrets of taking good care of my sister in front of my friends are all pictures of "I have always loved you deeply".
Leia's hard work and the strengthening of her past sisterhood, Juliet slowly loosened her guard, from the one-night stand that didn't touch her inner feelings to the anger when she learned that Leia chose to adopt instead of getting pregnant, the joy of getting a full-time job, and sisterhood The sadness of revisiting the old place came from it, Juliet began to express "emotions", coupled with the sympathy of Leia's colleague Mike, Juliet turned from going into prison and betrayed society, and slowly turned to face the society and the people who love her. All the way to the end, Leia accidentally discovered the pain in Juliet's secret, only to know that Juliet turned out to be "always in love with her biological son", Juliet was forced to face Leia completely, this time Juliet Without dodging, without repressing her true feelings, the two embraced and looked out the window at the heavy rain, as if they were washing away the overwhelming past, and all the burdens were put down, and finally Juliet said, "I am here. here", telling Leia that I'm back with warm eyes and tone.
This movie reminds me of Mossau in Camus's "L'Etranger" (L'Etranger). Mossuo also chose to be partially silent during his trial, and he was also "expressionless" in the face of many things. ", but the difference is that Juliet's expressionless hides huge pain, while Mosuo's indifference is a rebuke to many values in the society. Juliet's silence is a broken and indescribable pain, Mosuo The few words (I'm not sure he was completely silent) were "I never felt like I had nothing to say, so I'd rather keep my mouth shut".
What makes me think of the two together is that both of them deviate from social conventions in some attitudes, and the world judges them from their appearance. For example, Juliet chose to hide the truth of the murder of her son, bear false charges alone, betray society, and let her family betray her. She goes against the common sense that the world wants to maintain her innocence, also goes against the common sense of the world to ask for help from relatives and friends, and even goes against the world's character of being happy when she spit it out. Mosuo sent his mother to a sanatorium, did not cry because of his mother's death, could not remember her actual age... It violated the world's filial piety formula, and even killed an Arab by mistake because of the glare of the sun. reasoning.
Once people convict you, the truth doesn't matter. Juliet understands that the boss of the interview company told her to get out as soon as she heard she murdered her son, because she was cold-blooded; Juliet understands that Lea's husband doesn't want her to be alone with the child because she has a bad record; Juliet understands that her parents don't admit it There is her daughter, because she brings shame to the family; but where are they when her children are curled up in pain? Just as the world ignores Mosuo's constant use of "mama" instead of "mother", and also ignores Salamano crying all night because his dog was lost, Mosuo "I don't know why, I think of mother", and I don't think so. Mo Suo "I love my mother very much, it goes without saying." It is true, of course the world will not believe that Mo Suo really just shot because he hated the sun.
