"She Finds Me" is Helen Hunt's film debut. When talking about this small-cost independent film that took ten years of hardship to become a film, Hunter said, "The film talks about mothers, adoption, family, betrayal and other topics, of which "betrayal" is the part that touches me the most. , So I added two new heroes to the story. One betrayed the heroine and the other was betrayed by her."
After her husband betrayed their marriage, Frank, who was also abandoned, appeared with two children. By April's side. They are in love and they are ready to get married. At this time, April was found to have been six weeks pregnant, and the child was from her ex-husband. Ex-husband and current boyfriend Frank accompanied April to the hospital for a B-ultrasound. After that, she had the opportunity to be alone with her ex-husband, and they had sex. Frank knew all this, and after he was furious, he broke up with April. The reason for April's betrayal is simple, just out of physical instinct. This may be said to be some inadvertent or forced by the situation.
As Helen Hunter said, "You will never find peace unless you can calmly tolerate betrayal." April is not the kind of casual woman. She loves Frank deeply, but still inevitably betrays him. Fortunately, April is deeply aware that betrayal is inevitable for anyone. Unfortunately, April also knew that the betrayal would continue, as if people would do something inexplicable or forced. It can be said that this erratic, dust-like quality is an immutable thing in human nature, an attribute, a fixed formula, and the source of pain and happiness.
Although the movie talks about adoption, motherhood, and faith, in the final analysis, these are all subject to the theme of "betrayal". April's biological mother, the TV show star host, once abandoned her daughter, betraying her children. Her fabrication of April's life experience is a betrayal of history. April has a good desire to have children and religious beliefs, but she does not pray before the pregnancy test. She has lost faith in God and is a betrayal of her faith. Betrayal is everywhere.
For most people, no one wants to be a lone ranger who betrays others or is abandoned by others. Humans are a species suitable for gregarious living. To betray people, they can only try their best to compromise (or tolerate) in order to enjoy a certain warmth of relative harmony. At the end of the film, Frank understood April's knowledge of betrayal. He knew that he would inevitably fall into it. All they could do was to tolerate each other, so in the end they were together. In the end, April failed to get pregnant. She adopted a child, which was contrary to her original intention, but this is reality and a compromise.
