Get out of the predicament of being named by bad luck

I didn't know anything about the movie before I watched it, until I was taken down by the childbirth scene in the first 30 minutes. I have never seen anyone make a birthing scene as exciting as a blockbuster action movie. It's amazing!

The director is an out-and-out veteran, some of the initial details, grass snake gray lines, foreshadowing is great. For example, during childbirth, I was thinking, why not go to the hospital to give birth? When the kid's father was taking pictures, I was thinking, why are you so careless about using flash at the little baby?

Later the director gave us answers.

Great acting

In addition to the childbirth drama, there are two impressive scenes. One is the story of the heroine’s mother when she was a child. In a few words, the background of the story, the state of the characters, and the emotions after many years are ready to come out. Alan Boustin’s appearance is amazing, the best female partner is me. Look at it. The second is that the hostess had seen her husband’s previous photos and spoke at the second court session. Her eyes were red like a rabbit.

In fact, the story is somewhat similar to last year's "Marriage Story" in some events, but the storytelling method and rhythm are much more interesting. More narrative space is given to the heroine, which makes the heroine's psychological mood and character image more plump, and can also better reflect the theme of the story, the fragments of women, I personally prefer to understand it as a part of a woman.

The entire bridge construction process matches the changing seasons and represents the passing of time. This design allows me to feel the passing of time without the prompts of time subtitles. The protagonist and heroine become persuasive in the course of time. What's more, the construction of the bridge itself is a gestational process.

In addition to the gestation process of the heroine herself, the construction process of the bridge , and the sprouting process of apple seeds , these gestation processes are accumulated over time and shown to the audience. There is also the image of dandelion , the female protagonist's grandmother conceives the female protagonist's mother, the female protagonist's mother conceives her and her sister, the apple tree grows, the little girl grows up, and so on.

Dandelion, famous for gestating new life by traveling with the wind

Of course, what cannot be ignored is the image conceived by time—time heals all pains.

Sometimes there is no party responsible for the accident in life, just like the bridge that was once ranked third in the United States collapsed because of resonance. The birth responsibility of the child is not entirely on the midwife, because the child cried when he was born, and it can be said that he was a healthy baby at that time. The reason why the baby did not survive may be a "resonance of life", or it can be understood as being named by bad luck.

That's the kind of unlucky incident that happened to you in the vast crowd of people. We need to spend a lot of incidents to heal the pain in our hearts, forget some things like the heroine's mother, in order to let life continue.

After all, only by living can we continue to nurture life.

There is only time for us to get out of the predicament of being named by bad luck.

    Vanessa Kirby is amazing again in this one, like a bath scene with Shia LaBeouf in the first 30 minutes of breathlessness, where she treats her husband psychologically as a drowning person in extreme physical pain. Mu's dependence is shown in a full and incisive way, and it is just right. The restraint and outbreak of the mother-daughter rivalry and courtroom scenes are also relaxed and relaxed, and the whole process takes the audience's emotions. And she is so beautiful and so beautiful, every shot fixed on her makes people unable to look away and want to see more.

    Is this kind of film that describes how middle-class white people lose their children because of their own mistakes and how they go from painful self-blame to relief. Has it become a genre? It can be called a Manchester film in the future...

Pieces of a Woman quotes

  • Elizabeth: And I'm ashamed of me. That I wasn't a good enough mother to teach you how to stand up and speak for yourself, for God's sakes. And to deal with this. Like my mother taught me. After my father went into the ghetto, my mother found a shack, an empty shack, that she went into and gave birth to me. Without any help at all. She stashed me under the floorboards when she had to go out and steal food. So she could make milk enough to keep me alive, but just alive. Not strong enough to cry, or we'd be caught. When she finally got me to a doctor, he advised her to just let me go. That I wasn't... I wasn't strong enough to survive. But when she absolutely insisted, he picked me up by my feet and held me up like a chicken and said, "If she tries to lift her head, then there's hope." And you know what I did, Martha? I lifted my head. That's what I'm asking you to do now. Lift your head and fight for yourself, for God's sakes! Go out there and face that woman.

  • Lane: Yes, how did you feel holding your baby you had just given birth to?

    Martha: She smelled like an apple.
