The film is about how a woman who has only two months to live due to a tumor spends her final days. The hotly debated subject in this dog-blooded life accidentally opened up a different kind of thinking in addition to the joys and sorrows.
After she learned the truth, she concealed it from everyone, and borrowed the waiter's pen to write down the big and small things that she must do for the rest of her life for two months. There are cheating, maternal love and trivialities. And everything in the face of death, like the thin paper that records these, existence is its meaning.
My friend Xiaohui said that people run to die, which is destined to be a tragedy. Therefore, everyone who chooses to be strong, like this woman, hides their sadness from everyone.
The heroine has two stubborn and lovely daughters. And the perfect husband, the beloved lover. The contradictions and beauty in life are very real in the family of this cleaner lady. She is at the center of every relationship, and her withdrawal at any time makes her doomed to be insignificant. Therefore, the film does not tell about her final death, but ends abruptly after all the big and small things are arranged.
So it's not hard to see that the real protagonist in the movie is not her. "She's like a knife, penetrating everything, and at the same time staying out of it and watching." The life that surrounds her is the protagonist of everything. This beautiful woman can hold up a world, but face up to her own insignificance.
Mother's love is the starting point of human nature, so the role of mother in the film can best reflect the director's thinking. The alcoholic mother in "Mary and Max" is similar and different from the mother of the heroine in this movie. Her pervasive resentment and blame for life cannot hide her kindness. After a lifetime of desolation, there is still hope.
Bless our lives, and wish mother all the best.
