The Girl on the Train--Awakening of Girl's Self-Awareness

Stone 2022-08-05 12:48:34

One is not like a crime film, and two is not like a suspense film, but it is closer to expressing the awakening of women's self-consciousness. Although children are not the main line, but, after all, the three women destroyed themselves for them. It is biased to say that it is for love, and it is too one-sided to say that motherhood is too one-sided. It is just that the girls in the whole play are too delicate and soft, and the scumbags have cultivated them into perfection... Three points for the story; five points for acting and editing. From the initial alcoholic unconsciousness to the last Shi Shiran walking into the cemetery, the changes during the period are well described. The part of Megan's narration to the psychiatrist seems a little weak because it takes too long, but this part of reflection is also the essence of the character. In a supporting role, the detective's grasp of prejudice is very good. Megan's husband's last look at Rachel can also be reminiscent of a year ago... The flashbacks that are constantly interspersed in the main story will cause some confusion at first, seeing Halfway through, I suddenly realized: "Ah, so that person is her."

She thought you were gonna... she wanted to call the police. So just... leave us alone. You can ruin your own life if you want to but you're not going to destroy ours. I'm not going to protect you any more.

  • Martha: Tom got fired because he couldn't keep his dick in his pants. I felt so bad for you. He's such a bad guy.
