Primary Movie Notes in May
③Building a warm bedroom-"Innocent Love"
mother, father, son, is an ordinary and stable triangle structure, but when it collapses on the son’s side, only one is left A couple who get along with each other miserably. They did not face each other with tears all day long as ordinary people thought, let alone comfort each other. But a high wall was built in each other's hearts. Apart from the polite greetings, there was silence all day long. What gradually settled in the room was embarrassment and autism.
She started smoking non-stop, and he kept running away.
Violence from the outside world shattered a happy and harmonious family, and even shattered the trust between the couple. This may be the sorrow of a pair of intellectuals, but it would be a scene of weeping and weeping together as an ordinary couple. . Losing his son means losing his focus and hope for the future. Regarding the death of the son, both sides complained about each other in their hearts, but were unable to speak out. This kind of forbearance contributed to the deepening of the contradiction to the final explosion. The wife blamed her husband for pretending to be calm, thinking that his sexual fantasies and connivance of his son wanted to cause the death of his son. On the contrary, he believed that it was his wife's grief, and her picky and domineering education method killed his son.
This may be a problem faced by all families, but the roles played by both parties can be replaced by each other. The film "Broken Love" starts from a detailed perspective, revealing the complex psychological changes of the characters closely, reflecting the communication between relatives in a family and the inner collision between people. This movie reminds me of another family drama "American Beauty" that I just watched not long ago, a movie with a weird and bizarre plot that describes the complex feelings of family members. In one fell swoop, he won the 72 best film, director, actor and other awards. The screening of "Broken Love" reflected mediocre performance, and the acting skills of the two most promising protagonists were not expected to win the best protagonist award. This may be because the film itself is too delicate, too pure, too slow, and the story structure is too flat, but this is precisely what I like most about "Indecent Love". I always feel that the suppression of the subtle emotions in the film continues to involve me to empathize.
I personally think that "love" and "responsibility" are a topic that attracts me in the film. They are the tone of the family, like the relationship between cement and brick in a house. How to be responsible to our loved ones and how to be responsible to relatives is a subject that has to be verified through time. We are born with such a mission. To parents, then to wives (husbands), and then to children, we cannot Don't face it. To love is to sacrifice, just as the son in the film was willing to give up his graduate degree to become a fisherman for love. However, sometimes love is so heavy that both parties can't breathe, and they realize the bondage of responsibility, so they start to escape and block themselves. Just like the estrangement between the couple in the film, because of loving each other but unable to face the trauma in their hearts correctly, the lover has also become the most familiar stranger.
Perhaps, there are things that we can't say, some dreams that can't die, some thoughts wilt the strong heart, make the forehead pale, and the eyes dim...At this time, what we want is a bedroom, a warm embrace. In the

In the Bedroom quotes

  • Matt: [greets Frank on the dock] How'd you pull?

    Frank Fowler: Not too bad, about 40 pounds.

    Matt: I haven't caught sight of you in days.

    Frank Fowler: You know where to find me.

    Matt: When are you coming home?

    Frank Fowler: Has it come to this?

    Matt: Come to what?

    Frank Fowler: You having to run errands for Mom.

    [Matt laughs silently]

    Frank Fowler: I'm thinking of building a couple hundred more traps. See if can do better than break even.

    Matt: It'll take you more than two years to get a license to fish off-season.

    Frank Fowler: Right. Unless Henry takes me on as his sternman.

    Matt: Do you think he would do that?

    Frank Fowler: Maybe. It's as good a life as any. It was good enough for your father, and sometimes things just skip a generation.

    Matt: You don't think... You don't think that you might need something more?

    Frank Fowler: Why... so I can have an Ivy League education like you, and... Christ, if it's so great, how come you sneak out of your office every day to come down here?

    Matt: I like spending time with my son.

    Frank Fowler: Uh-huh.
