The film is about an eight-year-old Australian girl who is often ridiculed and excluded because of the birthmark on her forehead. She has no friends. In order to express her anguish, she sent a letter to Marx in New York, two people who did not know each other. Be friends since then. The two exchanged their heartfelt feelings in the letter. Since Marx was a mental patient, Mary's letters often caused his painful experiences, so the friendship between the two experienced many twists and turns.
The tone of the film is actually heavy, Mary's color is brownish-yellow, and Marx's world is black and white. The sudden red one on the screen appeared on Mary's mother's face, with blood-red lips and throat, the color of hysteria. Another red, which is much warmer, is Mary's color-changing ring and a ball of wool for Max. When Marx forgave Mary, he took Mary's wool ball and sat on the stool looking up at the starry sky, even in a black and white environment, he could still feel his inner peace and happiness.
At the end of "Mary and Marx" is the most sensational scene. Marx relieved his heart and sent the last letter to Mary, which made Mary, many years later, muster up the courage to go to Marx, but when she entered the room, she found that Marx was sitting quietly on the sofa Shang left the world of noise. With a pamphlet for recognizing human expressions hanging on Marx's body, it seemed that he was ready to welcome old friends; the roof of the room was covered with correspondence with Mary over the years, and he stayed quietly intact. There, time passed quietly in front of my eyes, as if it was just yesterday, and it was clear at a glance; and seeing the old typewriter sitting in front of the window, the sun was shining, as if witnessing their friendship, which lasted forever; at this time, Mary was in tears. I think when the two cherish each other, they already understand what love is and what is love.
Marx finally said: "I forgive you because you are not perfect, you are not perfect and I am, no one is perfect, even those who litter outside the door, I wanted to be any one when I was young. A person is in addition to himself." It also makes us understand that a person with flaws is a perfect person. If a person does not seem to have any shortcomings, it is because he has hidden too deep. It is surprising that a man commits suicide because he does not want to be honest about his flaws. I don’t like perfection. Too beautiful must be the most fragile and easily broken. The finely crafted fake porcelain is not as shocking as the broken tiles I dug up when I was a child. Generally, some words should be deleted at this time to highlight the central idea. But I had nowhere to start, and I felt unforgivable to delete a single word, because every word condensed their short and long life.
After the film was over, I was deeply touched and moved beyond words. From the beginning of kindness, to the conversation, communication, dependence, accusation, pain, tolerance and understanding of friendship, to the final calm release, friendship is like a magical brush, and many moving pictures are produced by it. I think how sad it would be to have no friends in life. It would be very precious to have a close friend. A good work doesn't have to be gorgeous, plain and simple can also move people's hearts. "Mary and Marx" is just like that. It opens a spiritual door for us, excavates a valuable wealth, and leaves behind A great chapter.
