{The film won the Grand Jury Prize at this year's Sundance Film Festival. The film adopts the style of British family melodrama in the 1950s and 1960s, expressing youth, sexuality and cultural conflict from the perspective of a girl. }
There are no particularly attractive star scenes, bizarre and twisted plots, and lack of commercial worth over 100 million. It is even more difficult to talk about the reputation of being a big production from the hands of a hot director. Even if you win a splendid award, it is not A film that inspires infinite desire and is willing to find out, even if you watch it once, you will rarely have the urge to relive it countless times.
But perhaps, this is the culmination of its charm, and the
warmth that hits the heart is also due to the subtlety of the film.
A theme involving family morality, religious beliefs, and social ethics, although the director Richard Glatzer's slight negligence or oversensitivity failed to solve the anxiety problems extracted from the film in a deeper and perfect way. The problem of early pregnancy is only vaguely closed at the end of the film. Carlos may have decided to do good due to the awakening of some benign perception, and Madeleine is also lucky to have a medical "miracle" to save and restore the relationship with the family of devout religious believers. . It is regrettable that the director is unwilling to face up to such social problems.
Perhaps for GAY, the society still holds a discriminatory and blasphemous attitude; the answer to the early pregnancy of a teenage girl will inevitably lead to the tragedy of the breakdown of family members.
It is difficult for them to get the sympathy and concern of the society, and eventually they degenerate.
Of course, such issues are not up to us.
The movie is pretty good in a way.
The director slickly and skillfully arranged the role of a kind and good man in it. This makes all doubts and contradictions retreat.
This good man awakened Carlos' conscience with his tolerance and fraternity, and made up for the dependence and warm tolerance of the family of Madeleine, a 15-year-old girl.
When everything seemed to be quiet, the director who just took it easy arranged the return of the good man Thomas.
This should be the turning point of the film, and of course it won't be melancholy and won the audience's heart and tears.
Apart from the regret of Thomas's death, the ending of the film can be considered a happy ending.
All in all, I think it's a good movie.
At least it's very successful in characterizing and deeply tapping the audience's heart.
