The director of "Frozen River" is a woman. Her calm and rationality lies in that she did not bias any part of the society to cause injustice and condemnation of the disadvantaged position of women, and she did not express too much romance from the specific and narrow position of women. She uses the story of two female protagonists surviving in the barren and cold Utah glaciers, which not only triggers the topic of women's narrow and sensuality, but also the "free state" Montek on the US-Canada border. People who dreadfully drive their $900 used cars across the glacier.
Survival skills may be too simple, not too much money or gas, just learn to carry a gun with you and reverse the car with one hand.
In a family lacking a man, what is waiting for mother RAY is not only the child's Christmas gift, but also the promise of the family's dream, the LIVE IN DREAM in the advertisement. RAY's first step, she understood that she didn't have to find her husband, she could pay the TV subscription fee by herself, and she could still give her son a smile that didn't need to worry in the face of the bleak business life.
RAY created a chance for LAILA to become a mother. In vulgar terms, she gave LAILA redemption. LAILA lives in an abandoned garage. The child is deprived of the right to be a mother at birth. She only stuffs high-fat potato chips and charges some agency fees for those who have no match. LAILA only secretly put the money at the door of her mother-in-law's room, chased away the evil dog, and went home sadly from the ice road.
Life has drawn people a strange circle of destiny, with borders, laws, timed bills, and banknotes with clear numbers. The paradox of life is that it throws you into the glacier, but orders you not to use normal methods to go ashore. .
RAY only took the risk, stuffed batches of stowaways in the trunk, drove up the glacier again and again, and saw the silent and dazzling alarm bell again and again with trepidation.
When I watch this film, I always think of "Dancer in the Darkness" and "Ice Storm". It's also freezing cold, and it's also my mother. The coldness of northern Europe is a simple tone, and the coldness of Ang Lee is gradually frozen. A false life, the cold snow in "The Frozen River" is already mud. Under the dominance of naturalism, people are tiredly living a life in the tearing of the dual society. Anyway, Merry Christmas, this is RAY's life in the wild In front of the admirable attitude given.
RAY wanted to record the ringtone of her mobile phone calmly more than once, but the brisk answer could not convince herself at all. Her answer to the world and the world must add those swear words. She can't be calm, and she can't relieve the burden of life. Courage should not be a word to praise her. necessary.
The concise and clear editing, the seemingly non-existent soundtrack, the narrative and the lyrical harmony, 96 minutes, build more than one world.
