The seeds in winter grow into fruit trees in spring

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.

    2020 Toronto Day4 | I always feel that Vanessa Kirby's looks and aura are not suitable for acting as a mother, a typical RBF. So there is a lack of empathy throughout. Except for the last courtroom scene, she did very well: trembling lips, trying to control herself not to let her emotions collapse, I di... I do. I did... I look forward to her playing more powerful female roles in the future . Having said that, what is the main character doing? I cried twice, I was rejected, then I cheated, and finally got out. From quarreling to indifference to death between the two, it would be better if there were more writing and details. I think of The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby by Model Worker and Yimei, and I don't think there is much newness when I watch this one again. The last paragraph can be omitted. Watch the subtitles again when Netflix goes live.

    7.1/10 The quality is mediocre. Procrastination and lack of light, the childbirth scene led to top-heavy, and the trial as a fulcrum was untenable. The relationship between husband and wife and the relationship between mother and daughter are not clarified. The image of her husband is not three-dimensional. Is it because of cowardice or grief that he chooses to cheat physically and resume smoking and drinking? Is he a struggling father, husband, or a cowardly wretch? The lens language is appreciated, and the long lens is very nice, which is the icing on the cake. The heroine's performance is very dazzling, I think it deserves a performance award. It's not bad, it's mediocre. It bloody presents a family that was already cracked, suffered an accident, and finally fell apart. And a stubborn, kind, strong and vulnerable mother. But the degree of completion is not high, like a punch on cotton, there is no dramatic tension, and it is difficult to infect the audience. Far less than "Manchester by the Sea," maybe my expectations were too high. She erased everything about the child, but she was obsessed with the growth of the apple core, and the pain was hard to let go.
