and typical psychological film. Let’s talk about the plot first-it seems that I haven’t used to telling the plot for a long time. This is an era of ferrying and knowing. If we are really interested in who introduced the stuff, we will definitely use some or even some search engine. , Instead of S. In this short one-sentence introduction, I tried to say the plot at a glance, but remembered a word: If you don’t have a little guard against "uncertainty", "Mammoth" will definitely become a movie. The incomprehensible art film has become a forgotten classic.
In a middle-class New York family, a busy and idle technical boss in an electronics company, a stressful surgeon in a big hospital, a lovely daughter in elementary school, and a kind-hearted Filipino servant who has left her hometown and believes in Christ. Some seemingly disjointed things happened separately outside the family. The order seems to be as follows:
1. On the plane from New York to Thailand: The husband hurriedly boarded the plane to Thailand for the signing of a contract, and received an advanced signature pen made from the remains of a mammoth;
2. New York: his wife’s Insomnia is getting more and more serious; a critically ill boy who was stabbed by his mother during the operation;
3. New York: the daughter who has the dream of astronomers, more and more time can only be with the Filipino servant;
4. The Philippines: The younger of the two Filipino sons of the Filipino maid is celebrating his birthday, and the older one can't stand the days without a mother.
5. Thailand: While waiting for the contract to be signed, the husband decided to go to the beach alone. And met a very beautiful Thai girl;
6. New York: The boy in the wife's operation could not wake up; when she tried to divert her energy to her daughter, she found that her daughter’s attention was on the Filipino maid;
7. The Philippines: Because the mother’s return date is uncertain, the eldest son of the Filipino domestic helper is determined to find a job to help his mother make money;
8. New York: My daughter is not as interested in going to church as the high-powered telescope sent by her mother, and wants to learn Filipino;
9. Gulf: The husband who always thought he was merciful and dedicated, failed to resist the temptation of the Thai girl, and promised forever to the Thai girl dreaming of the American dream on the bedside;
10. New York: The boy died. In the mania, the wife found that she had difficulty in doing surgery except for her mother;
11. The Philippines: The eldest son of the Filipino maid, who was about ten years old, went to the slums to find places like children’s se qing alone to make money. He was robbed by his peers and taken away by a foreigner.
12. Gulf: After the husband woke up, after the one-night stand, he left the beach with valuable pens and watches;
13. New York: The Filipino maid immediately left everything in the United States after learning that his son was injured and admitted to the hospital. Philippines;
14. Gulf: The Filipino girl in one-night stand wakes up and finds that the Yankee is missing. The things she left were sold to second-hand merchants for dozens of dollars; in regret, she made a long phone call to her daughter.
15. New York: the husband returned from a business trip; the wife took leave to stay at home to accompany his daughter; a family of three from a middle-class family in the United States reunited.
16. Philippines: This mother and her two sons are finally reunited.
...
as if nothing happened. Everyone, every family, after the twists and turns, returned to what seemed to be the original track. Even the youngest daughter's desire to learn Filipino has come to an end.
Seems to have lost something again. What?
When we are the children, the parents, the wives and the husbands of others, we can never be ourselves. The ideal of freedom, like that extinct mammoth, disappeared for thousands of years, but at a certain time, it was dug out, polished, and made into a priceless fountain pen, and signed a value for you. Liancheng's name. Is this freedom?
Everything is spinning in place. Perhaps, when we have longed for a thousand years and finally waited for the day to realize our "self", it is also the moment when we can easily lose ourselves.
We all live in an uncertain reality. There is no permanent existence. Just like the extinct mammoth, it will become a pen in someone's hand. However, only these uncertain existences can achieve true inner stability.
PS: The biggest highlight in this movie is the shots on the beach, the bays that are so gorgeous as if they are in a free paradise.
