no, no, this film do not want to discuss medical problems of human infertility, or related philosophical problems. The infertility condition is only a background setting of the film. In the surrounding riots and gunfire one after another, the male protagonist drooped his face, as if there was nothing worthy of his concern in the world, and he was always paralyzed with tobacco and alcohol on his body. In this state, ex found him one day and asked him to help send a woman out. After some setbacks, I discovered that this is a pregnant woman!
It was like a faint light lit in the darkness. Everything that is boring and hopeless suddenly has meaning. Then the surrounding situation is sinister, danger and calculation are everywhere. In this way, the film can be classified as a shock and adventure film.
However, how to break through many levels is not the point of this movie. What I admire is the film’s way of laying the groundwork and rendering the environment, allowing the audience to slowly engage, from gradually accepting the setting of the environment to empathizing and experiencing the despair and sorrow of human infertility. I was impressed by these two paragraphs: The male lead asked his cousin: What are you doing so hard for? No one has seen these things that we have established a hundred years later. In an empty and abandoned kindergarten, the two people lamented that the crying and laughter of children could no longer be heard in the world, and the playing of children could no longer be heard on the playground. Under such rendering, the cry of the child will be the most beautiful sound and powerful force. The ending of the film is very touching.
Another thing about this film that is very commendable is the several long shots. The scene lasted for several minutes, the situation changed rapidly, and the surrounding situation was also very complicated. It looks very realistic. Just these few long shots, you can watch this film several times.
The performance is also good. The leading actor is mediocre, handsome + gloomy. Although the black woman is the focus of the film, there are not many scenes and the completion is not bad. Julianne Moore is still a little nervous. The old man Michael Caine is great!
When the subtitles were finally typed, the background was the noisy sound of the child's wry smile. After going through such a movie, these meaningless chuckles that may appear at the wrong time and still feel annoying become so beautiful, people sincerely sigh that it is great to have children! Although the film does not discuss the issue of human infertility head-on, it makes people wonder: What causes human infertility? Will human beings really become infertile one day? How far are we from infertility? If there is such a day, how will we face this emptiness and despair?
