Usually, a female director directs a female writer's novels, often presenting the film in a delicate and gentle manner, and occasionally it is difficult to escape the suspicion of being trivial and lengthy. The film "An Invisible Sign of My Own" obviously has the characteristics of delicacy and warmth, but its attention to detail does not appear trivial and verbose. Director Marilyn Agreno is good at reproducing the story of inner growth. The novel of the same name by Aimee Bender is presented in a simple, warm, comfortable and moving way, which is both soft and heartfelt, and has a seemingly non-existent stamina.
The picture of the film is quite beautiful, the tone is cold and quiet, and the scenes of autumn and winter give people a clear and eye-catching visual experience. The animation at the beginning is a story told by the heroine's father, and it is also the main theme of the film: people, born alone, have an independent spiritual world, have the will and freedom to express themselves, and are more aware of themselves. The only way to grow is to let go of meaningless dependence, abandonment, escape and agreement.
Since her father's bizarre illness, little Mona's world has changed. As she grows older, her mentality becomes more and more "mature" under a special situation. She understands life in her own unique way Digitization, that is, "digital dependence". Such girls who have a strong dependence on something are often kind and harmless, not very good at expressing themselves, appearing alone and not in a group, and their attitude towards life is not positive and clear enough. Everyday main dish.
It can be said that Mona Gray (played by Jessica Alba) has a lot of shadows of young girls. During the growth period, she encountered a sudden change in her life situation. She is a bit autistic, focusing on what she is good at, and also on herself. something you are good at. At the same time, because of confusion and helplessness, some irrelevant objective existences are assumed to be logically related, and accidents are regarded as inevitable, such as the relationship between numbers and death, and the relationship between numbers and emotions.
Life is full of chance, trying to find an orderly world of numbers in a chaotic life is a contradictory proposition in itself, and Mona seems to be using this to ease her inner panic about the unknown future. This is actually a way of understanding life chosen by the helpless and helpless. Fortunately, Mona encountered an opportunity to solve the dilemma - working as a math teacher in an elementary school. Mona did not forget that she was once a child. She recognized the things hidden behind the smiles of those children. Like her when she was a child, they could only express the objective existence of distress with specific symbols that they liked, while those suitable for love were not. Come, it is the most reliable weapon for "siege the city" (personally, I am a little uncomfortable with the presentation of this love, and I always feel that the candidate is not suitable and the method is not right)...
Jie, who has always been used by male directors to express sexy stunners Sika Alba, this time gave a good performance, although her age is not suitable, but her performance is suitable. Although in "Killer in the Heart", Alba performed diligently, but the effect was very small. In "My Invisible Symbol", Alba's delicate and sensitive side was excavated, and there was a pretty good inner drama.
Bailee Madison, who is a little devil, plays little Mona, a little thing that caught the eye as early as in "The Bridge to Terabithia", which is interpreted with her clever and strange performance. Little Mona's mentality is beginning to form. In addition, the child under the age of 12 has participated in nearly 20 films, and his acting talent should not be underestimated.
In the film, Mona subconsciously bought an axe in the hardware store of a former math teacher, but when it was unavailable, she took it as the number "7" and placed it in the classroom as a physical teaching material. An axe can be a 7, or it can be a weapon that hurts people, depending on the user's qualifications and the mentality and perspective of the bystander. Things are always multi-faceted, and people's attitudes towards life are probably the same.
The film ends with a cheerful and lovely song "Sunny Day", which brings the audience a warm and carefree feeling, as if listening to the little secrets in the girl's heart, which is very close to the style of the film.
