The photographer sister in New York finally agreed to travel to Europe with her sister because of the negative reviews of the recent exhibition. However, the so-called travel is actually to accompany the spread of cancer to euthanize her sister. The ten days they spent together were also the last ten days of each other's lives.
The movie began to see Eva's face full of joy, and even when she was facing Kanmei with a little flattery, I was smirking like an idiot all the time. This character is so careful and weak, which is different from the independent characters created by Eva before. . On the other hand, Kanmei looked awkward and embarrassed; after discovering the high standard of the travel arrangement, she was suspicious and strange. It was not until they arrived at the sanatorium and the death-death arrangements were confirmed that the emotions of the two sisters finally began to really reveal themselves.
The news of her sister's near-death gave Kanmei a blow to the head. She realized that she seemed to have been put together, and was designed to be abducted into this desolate nursing home, where she could do nothing but watch her only relative die. This renunciation of self-reliance made her furious, and she was deeply puzzled by the way the whole nursing home waited for death. As for my sister Eva, this is the most comfortable ending I chose, and it is also a revenge for my sister's indifference over the years.
The father's departure, the mother's suicide, and the heavy childhood life, one of the two sisters chose to stay far away, turned off the emotional switch, and forcibly pulled themselves out of the quagmire of memories; So lock yourself in a sad past. The younger sister despised her sister's care for her mother, and as a result, she struggled together and became a loser; the elder sister blamed her sister for being ruthless to her, and left her family behind to focus on her own life. No matter her mother or herself, when she needed her sister the most, she always threw back her perfunctory words from a distance, allowing her full of pain to calm down quietly, and in the end she had nothing to say.
As the director said in the post-screening interview, she expressed various elements and viewpoints in the film, family and relatives, death and survival, without any subjective guidance, leaving the audience to think. The younger sister represents the way of moving on, willfully burying all sad emotions and selectively receiving new information; while the elder sister is trying to face painful things, so it is inevitable that she will be constantly impacted by memories. The completely different ways of handling make the two people get along with each other constantly; the closed space and limited time force the two people to understand each other.
Even if I live as a loser in my sister's mouth, even if I envy or even envy my sister's future life, my sister still uses her way to guide Kanmei to face the past years, accept the bad and accept the good times, and remember that the two of you are together Had a beautiful summer. And the younger sister also vented the backlog of nostalgia for her mother, love for her sister, and fear of losing relatives after her elder sister fainted. Without a sister who seems to have failed, how can there be a free self. The two finally reached a settlement at the last minute.
One is weak, sensitive and a little nervous, but the strongest and toughest; the other is stubborn and a little awkward, but the most fragile and timid. The chemical reaction between the two actors is just right to show the bond between relatives: we may not understand each other, we may not be happy, and we may not in the future, but each other is always in each other's hearts.
I tried my best to leave you, but in the end, I am most reluctant to leave you. Your presence by my side is my euphoria.
