For 110 minutes, there is basically only one scene, a long and absurd lawsuit, and a lot of non-stop dialogue, but from the beginning to the end, there is not the slightest sense of anxiety that can be relaxed. The heroine directed and acted an extremely awesome story.
From the opening shots completely ignoring his wife Vivienne, the tone of expressing patriarchy was used until the unreasonable husband Elisha was presented to the collapsing court, so that this atmosphere was brought to the extreme.
Vivienne’s inner changes have changed from being tortured, full of anger, seeing hope, and feeling desperate. In the progress of each witness statement and plot, through wearing clothes (only once in red), changes in hair styling are brought out, until A close-up of a face lasted for a long time. At this time, the depression of emotions and the helplessness of such absurd political and religious systems, the heroine used facial expressions to interpret, and the truth was in place.
While criticizing the unequal status of women in the family in Jewish society, the film also sees the compromise and helplessness of such unliberalized ideas, and the yearning for the fairness of the laws of those civilized countries in the United States.
Everyone’s distorted dignity theory forms absurd values, and every line reveals this despair and anger. I once thought that Vivian would commit suicide because I was on the verge of collapse, my heartbeat speeded up, and the feeling that my depressed emotions could not be released. This is also the success of this film in catching people. When I finally agreed with conditions, I even There is a perverted guess, but Vivienne succeeds anyway, but the familiar street scene is still outside the window, and the movie ends.
But I would feel that Vivienne could not continue to live in this country, even if he agreed to Elisha's absurd conditions, at least he would be free, go to a new society, forget those excessive demands, and regain a better life.
This film also tells us that we must not have anything to do with the fleshy head. He will stalk him until he collapses, more like a mouthful of phlegm that can't be shaken off.
