Silent Rona is different from the Dutton Brothers' previous works. For me, the context is clearer, and it no longer makes the audience trapped in the characters' long daily actions and lose their patience to integrate into the plot. They once again focused on a marginalized person in society, a woman who was an illegal immigrant. Fake marriage was the source of her citizenship and income. She dreamed of saving enough money to open a small restaurant with her boyfriend.
Surrounding this woman are several men, the object of the fake marriage, Claudy the poisonous insect, Fabio who brokered the fake marriage of illegal immigrants, and her real boyfriend Suko.
Lorna gradually took responsibility for this fake marriage that went beyond her own limits. Because of sympathy, although she was unwilling, she still helped Claudy detoxify. For another business to get a Russian to marry Lorna and apply for entry, Fabio creates an overdose accident to kill Claudius. She bangs her head to create evidence of domestic violence and files for divorce from a judge in order to save Claudy from death.
But Claude was killed in the end, and Rona could get a lot of money for marrying a Russian fake. The dream seemed to come true. At this time, she found that she seemed to be pregnant.
In fact, some "true" things have been derived from this "false" event. Claudy's trust and reliance on her and her empathy for Claudy make part of the relationship real.
Fabio's flawless plan makes the fake things look real, and the doctor finds out that the baby in Lorna's belly does not exist, but she would rather give up her boyfriend and dream of opening a restaurant, and choose to have a baby that doesn't exist in her belly. escape together.
In the face of an urgent existential crisis, perhaps our concept of "authenticity" has to be completely overturned.... When watching the Dutton Brothers, there is always some sort of moral struggle at first. They think that the "bad" side always has more stories to tell, so focus more on the "bad" side and let us see their situation. In this situation, general moral standards cannot be applied to them, because it is unfair to them.
