Lost people are lost in their own way - but the way to go is the same

When the story begins, they each have their own way of dealing with their broken lives. Georgia has believed almost her entire life that she can contend with "accidents, failures, and being damaged" as long as she tries to maintain her routine on her own. Lily just wanted to try her best to get what she needed, so she tried to believe what she wanted to believe. Rachel barely even knew what her encounter meant, she just had an instinct—a rebellious instinct—to fight back against what fate had imposed on her.

By the time the story is told, they can do better. Finally, they were given the opportunity to change the way they had dealt with their longstanding predicament, and Georgia had a better rule, letting "inner demands" rather than creeds dictate what to do. Lily is finally willing to face the truth, even if the truth will deprive her of so many needs in the past. Rachel began to understand - "to love, to seek to be loved", what is the most important thing in life, and she had been lost for so long before that.

Lost people have their own way, but the way to go is the same. What I don't know how to evaluate is that the path to take has always been there. When Lily couldn't really understand the true meaning of the letter she wrote to Rachel, she had already written the Georgia Rule that they didn't understand until the end. Is this always the case? Going around in circles, going through all the things, and then can you see what you have been watching and hear what has been lingering?

Even myself, after writing the comment, I may not understand the meaning of the words I said.

Dear Rachel,
My mother always told me the hardest things to do in life are to trust, to have faith and to forgive. So I want you to hear the strength in my voice when I say I forgive you because I love you, that's simple and that complicated to forgive is to move forward. Georgia rule.

Love,
Mom

Georgia Rule After watching tinkaichie Published in Sky Tribe

Universal Studios 2007 Produced by Universal Studios in 2007, two finalists for the 2007 Teen Audience Choice Award, but I think it's all Lindsay Lohan's many lace scandals and media influence of negative news The power has nothing to do with the movie itself, so I don't know how many people will have a different perception of Lindsay after watching this movie. At least I think I have seen something deep and inner.

The trailer of this film is matched with the first title Extraordinary in Mandy Moore's transformation work Wild Hope, which is full of comfortable and relaxing light texture, and Jane Fonda's repeated famous saying "Georgia Rule", which makes people think that this is just a sudden short time. Living together, the three generations of mothers and daughters who have different ideas and ideas share each other's warm family drama. However, in fact, the depth of the film has been greatly discounted, and the most interesting aspects of the film have not been brought out, and the most important issues of the film have not been pointed out. The trailer production group should really review it.

The topic of the core focus of the plot: step-parent sexual assault.

In fact, it does not focus on the right and wrong reasons for the sexual assault itself, but through the sensational behavior that violates social ethics, to explore how the three generations of mother and daughter whose family has been dysfunctional for a long time, in the psychological state of disharmony with each other, how to face this sudden revelation. how to face each other after the wounds are exposed, how to accept the truth without flinching, how to strengthen one’s own beliefs through cognition in the face of contradictions and dilemmas, how to weave lies and deceit with a clear mind but consider the overall situation, how to truly abandon How to truly face one's own vulnerability and ignorance, a long-term misunderstanding that has been recovered several times.

Look at how these three generations of mother and daughter are in the process of dialectical, facing and accepting the truth, or trust, or betrayal, or disappointment, or sacrifice. The issue itself has to be more visible.

Jane Fonda's performance is unexpected, no matter the number of scenes or the direction of the roles, it is very different from expectations. This film is obviously not as good as the first Monster-in-Law after her comeback. Viola, a proud and arrogant lady with jewels and jewels, is luxurious. She has not only a big-name first-line actress J Lo., but also the theme orientation of the international market; Small, the time and place settings are also quite ordinary, there is no fancy dress beading, no glamorous makeup, even the wrinkles on her face are not too much modification, but it can really show her after decades of acting career. The honed temperament makes her very eye-catching in the first half of the film's first appearance, with a strong sense of presence. The sentence "Georgia Rule" has demonstrated her confidence in her own life rules and creeds for decades, and she has always been acting. Lindsay Lohan, who hasn't changed much, and Felicity Huffman, who has fewer roles in the first half, are compared.

It was only when the second half of the film gradually shifted to the mother-daughter relationship between Rachel and Lily, which made "Georgia Rule" lose its value. Only when Lily questioned angrily did it reveal to some extent that Georgia's life accident stemmed from an irregular life pattern. , as long as the rules are maintained, accidents can be avoided.” The concept is really a pity.


Lindsay Lohan plays Rachel, a girl with extreme personality. Her arrogance, rebelliousness and self-centeredness can be regarded as a continuation of all her previous teenage roles, and even her self-character projection in real life, which appears superficial and flat in the first half of the film for no reason , and it makes people feel that this is only necessary for the character setting.

But in the middle of the story, the plot took a nosedive. Suddenly revealing the past that he was sexually assaulted by his stepfather, but he seems so pretending to be strong, thinking that he can control the situation without harm, thinking that pretending to be indifferent or resentful, as if it can reduce the impact of the incident on him. Pain, these performances have done the best retouching and extension to her always arrogant, rebellious, and self-centered image, giving this character more depth, and starting to grab the attention of all moviegoers.

The family ethics dramas that the screenwriter Mark Andrus is good at, such as the previous works Life as a House and Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, are of a lighter and warmer genre; while director Garry Marshell has directed films of the same type before including Raising In the Helen and The Princess Diaries series, there are some minor problems that the emotions expressed through the plot are not deep enough, which makes Rachel played by Lindsay appear rough and redundant in some erotic expressions with complex emotions. Whether it's lying on the bed and wanting to have a relationship with Simon, or finally threatening the offense and defense with Arnold, all of them are handled insipid and meaningless, but it reduces the emotional depth and character level of the film. However, it is rare that the scene where she and the male lead Harlan explore each other's sexual desires on the boat is not detailed, but there is a small section that allows her to interpret the character's current mood. It is the most vivid and profound performance in the whole film. Impressed.

In the previous paragraph, Felicity Huffman is just a selfish woman with a strong self-awareness, trying her best to maintain a bright image, and holding a position of opposing intolerance and incomprehension towards the traditional and regular life attitude of her mother who has not been in contact with her for many years. In the latter part of the film, when the pain of the past is gradually revealed, there will be more scenes, and the sense of existence and character will be clearly revealed.

From the very beginning, whether he can trust his daughter, who has always been rebellious and perverse, and whether he can rely on the trustee for his whole life, between the two, he is constantly subjected to shocks and repeated dialectical contradictions, hesitation, helplessness, anger, difficulty Believing, changing your mind under sweet words, and finally discovering the truth as if you were completely hollowed out and lost and hopeless, Felicity really also regards women as their emotional support when facing the other half, and when they are intolerable criminal behavior, the contradictory and circuitous expressions of their minds Powerful, quite impressive.

From this point of view, the sentence "Georgia Rule" that should have been used for the title of the whole film has become more and more vague. Except for the stereotyped image of women's tough mind, Jane Fonda doesn't have much room for expression, which is really a pity. She came to play this role that should have more layers.

This is the case. The last part of revealing the whole truth, Lily walking in despair under the setting sun, and Rachel who came by car, the scene of the sun blurring looks light and comfortable, warm and moving, which is the most touching thing in the whole film. one scene.
