A lonely and tense soul

The film shoots the story of the protagonist exploring the life of Vivian Maier, simple but moving.

Vivienne, she's a nanny, a lonely and weird person, a lonely old lady who doesn't get along well.

She lives at the bottom of the society and has lived a life that is far from magnificent, but she has discovered the beauty and ugliness in life so meticulously and keenly.

She may have been unhappy in her lifetime, and a huge number of excellent works have been discovered and recognized, which makes me think of Van Gogh.

Sometimes solitude can create greatness, as did Van Gogh, and so did Vivienne. Between the moon and sixpence, there will always be people who will choose to chase the moon, burn their lives but light up the night sky. As Vivian's obituary put it, "a free and kind soul who magically touches every life that knows her". I believe that everyone's self is infinite, as long as you actively and earnestly explore, life will never fail.

    Different images in different populations, closed life before death and reputation after death, searching for a lot of fragments still can't piece together a complete Meier: this mystery has become a part of the legend just like the hundreds of thousands of photos left behind.

    Vivian Maier has another splendid world in her heart. She does not rely on social life, and even anyone outside this world may be an interference to her. But it is different from closure. Her works are all real life, and her solitude has given her extraordinary observation skills. I think of a person in a lively occasion, the noise has nothing to do with her, everything has already been rehearsed in her heart, and the work is just a confirmation.
