This time I chose the movie, because I only plan to watch it for 3 days. Watching more than 3 movies a day will cause me to eat too much, so I chose 7 movies in total. In more than 100 movies, how can you choose a good one? The answer is that it is completely uncertain. The movie introduction can only tell you roughly what kind of story it is, and then you can guess from the country you choose to send, the type of movie, and then make a guess, so the movie itself has the nature of luck.
My luck this year is the same as in previous years, just mediocre. I like half of the movies I've seen. According to Zhang Facai, someone like me who has 9 out of 10 films with 4 stars is not qualified to be a judge. But my standards are also very clear. Anything that is better than my story and has a unique way of expressing it can be given four stars.
"A separation," which ultimately won best picture, was not among the seven films I picked. After I got home, I learned the results of the awards from the website, so I put all the winning movies in my netflix movie list and waited for them to send me DVDs, but at that time, there was no DVD for this movie, and popular movies always There is this problem. When I watch it in a few days and won several other awards, the mood to watch it is even stronger.
It will be 9 months before I actually see this movie, but a good movie is worth the wait. I couldn't wait to see it, and I was completely convinced.
If I put all the materials in front of me, the story can be simple. A middle-class couple in the Middle East was separated. The husband took care of his 80-year-old father with dementia and his 11-year-old daughter who went to school. They had no choice but to urgently find an aunt. As a result, the aunt was fired on the third day after she came to work, and she had a miscarriage after returning home. The aunt lost her job and her grumpy husband took his wife's employer to court. In the end, after several twists and turns, the case ended without a hitch, and the couple divorced.
But if you watch the movie, this is just the frame of the story, or the carrier. There are too many details in this frame, and every detail conveys a message. The reason for the couple’s divorce is typical of a modern family in the transition of traditional society. Question, please aunt is the same. Litigation is the way for modern people to solve problems. The law has its standards, but many standards are at work in life. Everyone in the play has their own beliefs, conscience, responsibility, and moral bottom line. , which always constrains their behavior, but these do not solve the problem. This story is about issues that we all face: individuals, families, morals, right and wrong, which gradually become more complicated as the story develops, and finally ends with the daughter of the family who did not say who she would choose when she divorced. The answer to living together ends.
I can't think of a better way to express this story, except like the director, using tight plot progression and dense dialogue to express the story three-dimensionally. I imagined how this story should be written if it was written into a novel. I haven't done any research, so I don't know if this movie is adapted from a novel. But I can only imagine that the story was written scene by scene and picture - it seems that the movie is already the best way of expressing it I can think of.
From this I think, this film found a very good way of telling a story. A complete, smooth, good story that is neither humble nor arrogant.
In the end, I have to talk about the name of the movie. The original English name "A separation" is the most appropriate, "A Separation", but how could it be forced to be translated into a separation?
