The heroine is an underage girl whose mother was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison. Since then, she has spent the years before her adulthood in a nursing home and a juvenile care home. During this time, her mother never gave up her control and control in prison until she became an adult.
In addition to the girls, the other three mothers are Hollywood veterans: Michelle Pfeiffer, Robin Wright Penn and Renee Zierweig. All are blond, tall beauties. Moreover, not only beauty, but also wisdom is recognized. So from here it can be seen that this is a film with strong female power.
The first adoptive family ended with a shooting, and the second ended with the adoptive mother's suicide. On both occasions, the girl was the party involved and was an eyewitness at the scene.
In the nursing home, she talks to the boy who likes her——
"Where's your mother?" "She's in jail for murdering her boyfriend."
"Where's your father?" "I've never met him."
" Cool!" "Yeah, so cool!"——This is the conversation between my cousin and I who are watching a movie.
It was an unimaginable encounter and life for people like us who live a stable life. Suddenly, my mother was taken away from the house by a group of strangers, suddenly she was sentenced to 35 years in prison, and she was suddenly sent to a stranger's house, living under the same roof with a group of people she had never met. In the film, except for the first night, the girl sat under the eaves and cried silently, and she was never seen crying again, even after being hit by her adoptive mother! Then, the second foster family, with a very good material environment, loved her adoptive mother very much, but because of the emotional breakdown with her husband, she committed suicide by her side.
In such a life, she has no alcoholism, no drugs and no promiscuity. (Her drug use is deliberately downplayed in the movie.) She graduated high school and ended up going to New York with her boyfriend to become an artist like her mother (and as she hoped). At the end, she arranges her own experiences in boxes, from which I infer that she is a modern artist. This is a lens I like very much, and maybe in the hearts of many people, there will be such a box.
After watching the movie, I felt the strength of life, although sometimes it is very fragile, but its strength is always beyond my imagination. I have always admired the power of women. As Lin Yutang said, women are the creators and protectors of the world. The Chinese have said that the most soft is the most rigid, and that's what it means. Sometimes, the power of destruction is so unpredictable, but there is always another force, although it may be weak, but it still stands before the mountain collapses, and it will always exist in life.
But there is another thing in life that is always there. In the play, the mother said to her daughter, "Loneliness is human nature, and no one can fill this void."
Michelle Pfeiffer's eyes are a light blue, so light that you almost suspect she is blind. In the film, the blue scriptures on her forehead are prominent, showing a kind of strength of years, that kind of firm eyes, people can't resist.
