The film is a romantic comedy about everyday life in Lebanon with Nadine Labaki as the director and starring role. When I saw Nadi Labaki for the first time, I sighed at her amazing. She has long, thick, pure black hair, and her eyes are piercing under smoky makeup. The big flower suspender skirt matches her honey skin so well. After watching the movie, I even sighed for her profundity and bravery. Her film criticized the discrimination against women in Lebanese society and sparked controversy in Arabic-speaking countries, Islamic and Catholic countries.
When I first saw it, I couldn't understand the struggle of 5 women. But I like the picture and soundtrack of "Caramel". The color tone of the whole movie is warm caramel color, and every shot is a beautiful painting. The music of the movie is very Lebanese. In addition, the film also shows the life of Lebanon's appointment. For example, singing a very strange song when we get married.
Six months later, I watched "Caramel" for the second time. This time, I was deeply moved by their resistance.
Layale (Layale)
my beloved beautiful woman. She fell in love with a married man and waited every day. Wait for him to find her, wait for his divorce. When she met his kind wife and lovely daughter, she knew that he would never divorce. His wife said sweetly to her, "He just likes the way I am now." Rayali is brave. She loves things that don't belong to her. Maybe from the beginning, she knew there was no future. I have always admired the love without hesitation. Like many families, Layari’s parents hope that their daughter will get married and have children as soon as possible. The expectation of his parents is detached from his, Rayali should be working hard. Later, she abandoned him. Not because she is cowardly, but because she knows how to love herself. A woman must learn to love herself before she is qualified to love each other.
I like her smile at Mr. Police. Such a beautiful woman should be taken care of. The handsome policeman hid love in a corner. Fortunately, he finally walked in bravely.
Nisrine
She plays the dignified girl in her boyfriend's house and carefully maintains her holiness. However, her prince is not her first man. She was afraid of losing him because of it. Later, she underwent repair surgery in the company of her sisters. This is not so much the director's approval for the repair of the hymen, as it is the woman's helplessness towards the virgin. Why do men have to ask their women to be pure and flawless? When a woman decides to dedicate herself, why doesn't she want to stay with each other forever? It's just that the story took a turning point, and it happened in a state they didn't want. They are also very sad. In order to keep the man, they chose to deceive. For those so-called traditional countries, I find it ridiculous. Why should a man ask a woman to be as pure as jade?
I feel sad. Nisrenaa fought powerlessly. Anyway, she was very beautiful at the wedding.
Rima
often wears headphones and no one walks into her world. In the beauty salon, she played the role of a boy, pulling the generator, repairing the water heater and so on. When she walked into the beauty salon, everything changed quietly, between their silent eyes. The first time she walked in, her hair was pulled into a graceful bun; the second time, a simple bunch; the third time, she had long black shawl hair, and then she had a short haircut. Under the influence of Rema, she slowly broke free from the shackles of the family.
Regarding homosexuality, the film is very tactful and delicate. Maybe the love between women is like this. Long-term customer of
Client Jamale
beauty salon. She is a sad woman. Constantly beautify Constantly audition, want to stay or show beauty. However, she is a mother of two children abandoned by her husband. To some extent, she is respectable. She was not overwhelmed by life. Even if she has to do housework every day, even if there is no love from a man, she must insist on her beauty. Her resistance made me feel heartache and admired at the same time.
Rose
Her life is very sympathetic to me. She went to the beauty salon to have her hair done, put on makeup, and dressed up. She stayed in the room crying and took off her makeup. In the end, she did not attend the appointment. The man finally left, wearing a suit that she had changed to not fit. Lonely Rose longed for a love. However, she has her own responsibility: her crazy sister Lily. In life, besides love, we still have a lot to face. In many cases, we can also sacrifice love. It's not that we dare not pursue happiness, but helpless.
Life is like caramel, sweet and bitter. Five women, centered on beauty salons, are fighting, and we are fighting too. Life is really helpless sometimes. Although I have never eaten caramel, I believe its sweetness is more than its bitterness.
