If the patrilineal his-story inherits family business and morality; the matriarchal inheritance is implicit. Compared with the father’s expectation of his son to pass on his own values, the mother’s daughter is more of self-desire or self-image. projection. Yes, Pippa's mother dressed her as a variety of dolls, just like her own "role play." She didn't want to be herself for the rest of her life, preferring to keep taking drugs and living in her imaginary herself. . .

Pippa’s indulgence in her youth led to the tragedy of her guilt for a lifetime. The lover’s wife committed suicide by drinking a bomb at the showdown table. She had no choice but to become the man’s wife, as if she had to justify such a mistake: because of love. The name. Then, unable to forgive her mother, she over-corrected and became another kind of mother, just like her mother who played the Hollywood superstar in firewood, rice, oil and salt, her perfect wife and mother, is she not another kind of self-concealing role-playing? Sadly, she also did not agree with her own daughter. Her daughter denies her just as she denies her own mother.

Pippa's sleepwalking is a symptom caused by years of depression and a lifestyle like obsessive-compulsive disorder. It was not until her husband derailed that she was relieved, and her long-standing debt was finally paid off. She finally put her own expression on her face. Realizing that she was just repeating the mistakes of her mother in the opposite way, she finally forgave her mother, and regaining her self, instead, she got the sympathy and understanding of her daughter, so the film is in such a harmonious atmosphere. it's over.

Whether a mother is a wife, a woman must play a good role in her life is herself.

Ah, I didn't mention Keno River at all. Is that the biggest reason that attracted me to watch this film? Yes, this is a film about women's lives, men, come and go, don't take it seriously. As a woman, the mother-daughter relationship is a lifelong proposition. We were rebellious daughters, and we would be anxious mothers. Compared with the inheritance of ethics and values ​​of father, father and son, the relationship between mother and daughter originates from the womb. It may be more like a continuation of self-image. Understand your mother, you affirm yourself. If you are lucky enough to be the mother of a daughter, tell her, dear, be yourself, you are the most like me in this world.

(Keno appeared as a Christ in the film, and I smiled. It turns out that the so-called redemption that women need most is just a catharsis of lust.)
