I really like this kind of narrated story, the plot is straightforward, there are few characters, and it seems to be brain-saving.

A few years ago, the child was born. The wife was lying on the hospital bed, moaning in pain. I can't share her pain, I can only cry distressedly.

Waiting to enter the delivery room, that one hour is very long. I waited anxiously, especially when the doctor came out to inform the family of another mother that the delivery was not going well, I was even more upset.

Until I learned that the mother and child were safe, a hanging heart fell to the ground, and when it settled down, I felt the blood return to the body, and my hands and feet began to numb.

The childbirth scene in the first ten minutes of the movie reminded me of this past. The atmosphere was very good. Martha, who was in pain, and his husband Sean, who was in a hurry, and the inexperienced midwife. In the end, a mirror is a good expression of anxiety and panic. Deepen the expectation for the birth of the child more and more.

This is an unfortunate story. After the initial pain and escape, a mother who lost her newborn daughter finally faced life bravely and found herself back.

Originally happy couples, caring husbands, and gentle wives bear their own pains after losing their children.

Sudden misfortune came, and the two no longer faced each other frankly. In particular, Martha didn't want to mention it, and chose to avoid it. Martha was furious because her mother had mistaken her daughter's name on the tombstone. She was angry about the unfair destiny and the mother and husband's indifference to her daughter's name. She seemed to want to take off the wedding ring during the quarrel, heralding the failure of their marriage.

She is contradictory, always paying attention to the children around her intentionally or unintentionally, and wants to erase the traces of her daughter. She wanted to donate photos, cribs and even her daughter's body. She also didn't want to face the trial of this case.

The husband missed the child, and Martha tried to erase it. The contradiction between the two became more and more irreconcilable. The husband started smoking, drinking, cheating and even taking drugs. Marriage has long existed in name only.

The story begins in September, and the couple are looking forward to a new life. At this time, the weather is not cold.

After the bad luck came, the long winter began, and the ice and snow never let in the sun.

Masha is like a wounded hedgehog, erecting spikes to protect herself at any time. She cultivated the apple seed silently, looking forward to its germination, as if she was looking forward to the birth of her daughter.

Martha's mother hoped that her daughter could face her, face the bleak life and face the dripping blood. The daughter resisted her, she hated her mother.

Mother tried to touch Martha, but Martha stretched out her hand to block her in fright, turning her face away, like a wounded deer. The mother's comforting hand has not been extended and retracted, and she can't bear her daughter being disturbed.

When Sean finally escaped here, he never returned. She began to gradually pick up the broken body and mind. After washing the dishes and going to court, the fruit pits that he took care of finally began to sprout.

She finally got out of the pain. Before the photo of her daughter, the grief returned to the body, and she started to cry bitterly.

This section reminds me of the bridge section in the mind agent team. The adolescent girl rebelliously vented her anger towards her parents, and then ran away from home. When Blue Worry, representing grief, finally regained control of the emotion console, she began to cry, and grief healed her pain.

She threw her daughter's ashes into the melting river water. After many years, the seeds have grown into fruity apple trees, and daughter Anna has been able to climb to the trees to pick apples.

Winter has passed, time has allowed the wound to heal, the fruit tree matures, and the daughter grows up.

    Four-and-a-half stars, although it is insufficient (the symbol system is complete, the metaphor is a little deliberate, the manipulation and arrangement are slightly stronger, and the soundtrack is slightly full), it is still a film that really cares about female individuals and the pain of birth. 1. The 24-minute delivery lens is indispensable: through camera movement and scheduling instead of editing, it is full of immersion. Home delivery is a constantly changing and unpredictable [event], allowing viewers to have a fast heartbeat with Martha. Subsequent film titles and time jumps/breaks further classified the event into the character's history, while the on-site long mirror and realistic performance construct a traumatic memory in the viewer's mind to the greatest extent. 2. The process of photo development is like a miracle, which not only brings the dead back to life and permanent residence, but also forces Martha to face the moment before the trauma. In the end, her understanding and gratitude to the midwife is based on the warmth and empathy of women. Pure and broad love and release, rather than the self-righteous rational concern, cold and narrow calculation of accountability and never let go. 3. There are both exquisite long mirrors (house parties and quarrels) and close-up details. 4. The endless walking highlights the sense of process, and the mirror glass emphasizes barriers and restraints. (8.8/10)

    I finally saw the first movie that the male god director went to Hollywood to shoot. Every time the camera moved sideways, I felt that I would keep running with the character and finally fly. When you see characters in pain or hysteria, it feels like an atmospheric mix is ​​coming. The long shot of the childbirth part met my expectations for this technical director, and the story of the heroine who followed the characters basically met the expectations of Biao's acting skills. The handling of the relationship between husband and wife is a bit underwhelming, and the emotional strength is not up to it. It is the scene where the male lead is leaving. Although he can't see his face, the back and small movements are very strong.

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.
