Witness of humanity

It's good, I watched it twice, but I still haven't seen the full version.
Halfway through the first time, I suddenly remembered that a photography book I read before introduced a female photographer, very similar to Diane in the film (I didn't watch the beginning of the film). So I rummaged through the boxes and finally found the book "Masters of Contemporary Photography - 20 Witnesses of Human Nature". That's her, the photographer of this strange, deformed, perverted, ugly and unacceptable or socially neglected crowd. Of course, the protagonist in the film is not like the Diane I imagined, but
, I like this film very much. Nico's performance and Xiao Tang's enthusiastic eyes make those abnormal people seem less scary. I like a few places. It was the first time that D and L went out. On the bus, she stood beside L and looked at everyone challengingly: L took off his mask in the restaurant, and they ate happily like no one else; L told little Sophie a story, the children They dyed his hair. In fact, I think D and L are like a real family. They talk about everything. D and L can sleep peacefully when they are together. They are so comfortable and happy together, but in her own home, she is always so nervous and Struggling, she doesn't belong there. L made her realize this, and let her start a new true self.

I don't think it's like some people say it's just a love movie (before she met L, she already hated her so-called perfect life, L was just the catalyst for her transformation), of course the love in it is really touching, but it also makes me Seeing a woman's pursuit of herself, her struggles, resistance, pain, and rebirth.

D said the people in her pictures had better lives than her own, at least they were real.
