IMHO you didn't understand it at all.
Said this movie is about love and forgiveness. very funny.
This is the most advanced script of the kind. It is like the eye of God, presenting the complexity and chaos of human nature. It does not give you direct cause and effect, and does not make moral criticism. It hopes that you will see your own shadow in it.
But many people can't see themselves. Still maintain a consistent moral critical stance.
There are no extra shots and lines in the whole movie. A lot of information is alternately argued and revealed to each other. It's like we keep getting to know someone in real life. Instead of hearing a line, hurry up, "Oh, she's not a good mother." Hear another, "Oh, she's not a good wife either." "She insisted on catching the murderer because she cursed her daughter before she died. "It's not like that.
Why are single moms single? Because my husband is with 20-year-old Sao Langjian. But I'm sorry, in fact, the girl is not sorrowful, she is a little brainless at best, but she is also kind. The film does not symbolize this role to belittle the "little three". In fact, even the husband who has changed his heart deserves our sympathy, because he really does not love the heroine. If we put us in the perspective of the husband, we can also find a lot of reasons not to love the heroine. For example, her irritability, her irritability, her unreasonableness, her strength, her paranoia.
The above is a passage I saw in another film review. It prompted me to finally turn on the computer and write my article. With heavy emotions.
The heroine's husband, the father of the deceased, is probably the only character in the film who deserves no sympathy.
The heroine seems irritable, strong, and irritable, but why?
First of all, the hostess's husband has a history of domestic violence against her for many years.
In the film, the daughter questioned that the heroine had taken her young brother and herself and drove under the influence. The heroine said that there was only one time. The daughter immediately interrupted: Sure enough! She didn't have the patience to finish listening to her mother. Just like many audiences. Mother then murmured, that time it was your father who touched me until I couldn't move--
My father used to be a policeman, which is very interesting. When he first appeared and negotiated with the heroine, he showed a very agile skill-although it was used to beat his wife. In less than a blink of an eye, he overturned the table, rushed over and strangled the hostess's neck, and pressed her against the wall. The son immediately picked up the kitchen knife and put it on his father's neck, asking him to let his mother go. All of them were very "skilled" and did not show any panic about all this. Obviously this is a scene that often happens.
Contact the news we heard in real life, you should know how difficult it is to escape from domestic violence. Especially the husband is a violent agency worker, the police.
Daughter Angela is a sympathetic victim. Apart from being the victim, what kind of daughter was she before her death? It was mentioned from the hostess that she often smoked marijuana with her friends. My brother said, "If you can't always be like a little bitch." The little bitch said "cunt". You can check this word and feel what it implies.
Angela's mother is indeed not gentle enough towards her, but is she a very good daughter? no.
Angela is like a typical rebellious girl in American movies. This image appears in many movies. I watched a movie many years ago. I forgot the name. In it, my father had a muttering line: Girl, when I was a child, I was like an angel. When I grew up to fourteen or five years old, suddenly, boom, their bodies swelled up. , The brain is also full of things you don't understand, and your parents become enemies (roughly like this). There are so many such images, I think, to some extent, they may represent a bit of reflection on liberal culture in the United States.
The daughter complained about her mother. She called once before she was alive to express her wish to move to her father, but this does not mean that her father is actually better than her mother. The reason for the smell of far fragrant and smelly is very simple. Moreover, what kind of mother is worse than a father who is a wife who is a domestic violence and who lives with his teenage girlfriend?
Angela died tragically, and it was her mother who insisted on finding the real culprit and felt sad for her. Others continue to live as usual, and even hope to forget about this tragedy as soon as possible in order to be less sad. The conflict between Angela and her mother is not just a unilateral problem of her mother. There are reflections on the mother-daughter relationship in the play. The mother's attitude is too tough, the daughter's rebelliousness, and the lack of understanding of the mother are all obvious.
The heroine is a mother who escaped years of domestic violence, raised two children alone, and then her daughter was raped and murdered to find no murderer. What you see is her after all this, and then you say that she is strong, paranoid, unreasonable, unlovable, and her husband doesn't like her as it should be?
Maybe she's a bit flabby, but which part of her life doesn't require this to persist? If she were not such a person, her life would have already fallen. Besides, she is actually so weak, where are the real minions?
The film is not just about forgiveness. The phrase "anger will only lead to greater anger" in the play is said in the most ironic situation. The speaker, the ex-husband’s little girlfriend, didn’t even know the true meaning of this sentence. The ex-husband burned the billboard that the heroine regarded as hard work. This is despicable. As the father of the deceased, he is not even as sympathetic as a worker who brushes the billboard, a stranger. If you have to say it, it's better to say that this movie calls for understanding.
This understanding includes your understanding of the anger of others.
It is easy to think of Jiang Ge's case.
In the Jiang Ge case, Jiang Ge's mother first received a lot of support online. But later, when she refused to forgive, insisted that the murderer be punished, and expressed her heartache and anger at the tragic death of her beloved daughter on Weibo every day, some people began to hate her. Leave a message to attack her.
This society sympathizes with the victim-until the victim shows toughness.
This is also the point that this movie wants to express, but many people have overlooked it. Ignore it because they seldom actually substitute in the identity of the victim. They are always spectators and can circulate sympathy, but there is a limit. It's easy to turn around, thinking that the victim is a bit too much now.
But I never really thought about what the victim really experienced.
The hostess and her husband have different emotions towards the dead daughter. One is a father who already has a young girlfriend and rarely lives with his daughter. One is a single mother who raised her daughter. Of course it is easy to say move on. But if you were the heroine, especially the dead Angela, would you still think so? Do you still think that people should forget you as soon as possible, should forgive, should move on?
Many people can't get used to tough female roles. Regardless of her actions, being tough is itself an original sin.
These people include the dentist, a friend of the sheriff in the play, who uses his position to teach the heroine. Including the soldier who is suspected of being a rapist, he once went to the hostess's shop and threatened her despicably. Including the husband of the heroine. It also includes many people in reality.
But this heroine is actually a person who got up from suffering. She resisted domestic violence, raised her children alone, and endured the pain of bereavement. She must have an extremely persevering character to do this.
She is not rude. At the very beginning of the play, when talking to the advertising company about the billboard, she stood in front of the window and gently turned a bug that could not turn over. Her face is so tender and full of compassion. This scene can be said to be a tiger with a heart, sniffing the rose.
When she was scrolling through the billboard, what she said to the deer who appeared suddenly was tender and sad. A great mother who was desperate but had to stay strong. Makes me cry in the cinema.
The sheriff suddenly vomited blood, and the blood spurted on her face. Her concern was real and from the bottom of her heart. She called the doctor and ran out of the police station. I believe that at that moment, she also planned to stop pressing the sheriff. But then the sheriff committed suicide. You and I both know it has nothing to do with her. And she suffered many consequences.
She was threatened face to face by nasty soldiers. I believe that if you are a female, at that moment you are like me, and like her, feeling extremely scared. In fact, how insignificant a woman was at that time, we all saw with our own eyes how her husband was easily pressed against the wall and pinched her neck, like an ant.
She always chooses to be strong. Choose not to give up. Sometimes she used too much force. There is a certain tendency to use violence to control violence. But at the same time, she has a very beautiful light.
She is very decent. Have a good sense of humor. calm. clever. strong. good.
Before evaluating her, please really think about what she has gone through and what she is going through. If you are her, can you do better.
Let’s talk about love and forgiveness.
Here are some follow-up additions:
Why do I say that this movie is not about love and forgiveness.
If you say that it talks about love and forgiveness, then it is tantamount to saying that it is wrong to put a billboard in front of the heroine, and that it is right to let go of hatred. However, it is not. Her first approach was not necessarily wrong, and in the end she did not let go of her hatred-she picked up the gun, but couldn't find the real murderer, so she hesitated.
I have repeatedly emphasized that the cause and effect of this movie is chaotic, because it is like life. The behavioral consequences of everything are uncertain, random, and at the same time influenced by many factors. You want to do good things, which may result in bad things. You are not necessarily punished for hurting others. But you are punished in the end, but it may be because you want to do a good thing.
Therefore, it is not simply criticizing something and praising something. It is a display of life and humanity.
The heroine later realized that she did something wrong, but does this mean that everything she did before was wrong? On behalf of Angela’s death is her fault? Means she shouldn't put up a billboard in the first place?
Does not represent.
The smarter character in the film is the sheriff. But even he made a joke before he died, a cruel joke.
He paid the billboard rent for the heroine next month, how much to make the heroine bear some blame after his death. In other words, he is not indignant. This anger is of course reasonable.
But from another perspective, he is helping and supporting the heroine. The sheriff is dead, there will be a new sheriff. The billboard is still there, and the police station is under pressure. You can't forget the case of Angela Hayes.
In other words, before he died, he had reached a reconciliation with the heroine, and they understood each other's situation. It's just that the blindfolded audience can't see through.
