subject is a serious and sensitive illegal abortion. The story takes place in the United Kingdom in 1950. The protagonist is the titled Vera Drake, a kind middle-aged woman. She has a happy family, loving husband and wife, and harmonious children, just worried that they will not find it. The other half. In addition to cleaning in the wealthy houses every day, she also goes everywhere like a volunteer to help the elderly and helpless people living alone, and visit her bed-ridden mother. On the surface, she is a good person through and through. It is also based on her. With a benevolent heart, she didn't collect any money to help those girls get rid of the children. Year after year, she worked like this for a long time, until one day she almost killed a young girl... I
didn't expect the movie to be so delicate, Show us in detail what Vera Drake has done. The abortion process, equipment, procedures, everything she is responsible for, and explaining to the girls the physical conditions that will occur in two or three days are all clear. People are staggering. And the process of Vera Drake's arrest, the police searched her criminal evidence, the arrest procedure, the trial, and the prison. Every detail is so clear and contagious. The most successful part of the film is that it does not have a strong stand. Let the audience judge and analyze. It is not easy to deal with this sensitive subject in this way. The
occasional sense of humor in the film also brings some color to the story. Vera Drake's daughter Ethel's introverted and dull boyfriend's encounter; prison The conversation between Vera and two other women who were imprisoned for illegal abortion brought laughter from the audience. The
heroine Imelda Staunton was highly praised and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress. She succeeded in doing Vera. That kind and innocent spirit, superb acting skills. After
reading the show, the director said that it was the first time to use a character as a title, because it was her story.
