The film has a slow and calm pace, but it is full of disharmony between the characters' quarrels. After the protagonist Margarita has solved her problems, she feels unprecedented peace in her soul.

The plot of this movie is relatively small, so I was a little sleepy in the process of watching it. Based on the idea that I didn't want to give it up halfway, I insisted on watching it.

There are two scenes in the movie that touched me a little in such a slow and calm atmosphere.

One is that after Margarita had a nightmare, a salesman wanted to solve her power consumption problem and needed to show a bill. Margarita looked for the bill because she was unfamiliar with her mother’s house, and finally she found that she couldn’t find it. Then she broke down and cried, mixed with guilt for her mother and reluctance for her to die.

The other is that Margarita is accompanying her mother in front of the hospital bed. Her mother asked Margarita to accompany her to the toilet without the help of nurses. Margarita helped her mother get off the bed, but her mother could not walk by herself, Margarita. Rita comforted her mother "We can take six steps," her mother could not walk, Margarita comforted her mother "three steps, of course three steps are possible," her mother still couldn't walk, Margarita broke down and cried. , And hug her mother tightly. In fact, Margarita was comforting herself.

Margarita is taking care of her dying mother and her adolescent daughter, while dealing with big-name actors, gradually calming her mind in the process.

When Margarita faced the big-name actor, she endured first, and then she couldn’t accept it. So she quarreled with the actor on the spot. In order to calm down, Margarita talked with her friends. This conversation made Margarita understand. After understanding her own problems, she understood that she had been forcing the people who loved her to do what she thought. No one felt relaxed with her.

The big-name actor can't be tolerated, but in fact, the actor Barry has a disease that can't recognize people and can't remember things. He has been fighting against the disease. So when you feel that a person is making troubles unreasonably, don't feel angry, he just didn't act according to your ideas. Not everyone can do what you want, and you can't ask everyone to do what you want. Seeing this, I suddenly understood.

    Of course Moretti is the best and most easily mistaken. "The actor should stand by the character's side", just as reality should stand by the film's side, this supreme phrase points out the secret of this work, and also proves that the form of the meta-movie is not an autobiographical rewrite, but Morley An attempt by Thie to practice the ethics of cinema. For Moretti, there is no difference between the production of a film and the death of a mother, because they are both about the failure of the role-playing, and because of the failure, the actor's human side can show up, accompany the character and accept the audience. gaze. When Margurita appears beside her "character" in every time and space, Moretti also quietly accompanies him after his incarnation. His appearance makes the film degenerate into a set and makes the direction of the story no longer important. Because Moretti's intention is only to "walk" with us.

    It's a very touching film, which is about the director's personal experience.
