First of all, I have to sigh with emotion. I haven’t seen a drama that has a strong desire to comment after watching it for a long time. One is because I have no time, and the second and most important point is because I am lazy... (Of course, I feel that my writing is not good. It is also one of them)
I haven't read the original book, and I didn't know much about the events in the play before watching the play. Because of this, someone died at the beginning of the film without telling us who it was. Of course, the murderer had no way of knowing that this setting was very arresting. When I continued to watch with the mentality of finding out, I found that I was more attracted by the lives of several heroines in the play than the curiosity about the murder itself: I used to be a successful lawyer who gave up work after marriage and became a full-time mother. Celeste, who has gone through divorce and remarriage, is now working hard to find her own value among her current, ex, former new wife, rebellious daughter and part-time theater part-timer. In the face of the incident when her daughter was bullied at school, the strong woman Renata almost collapsed, and there was a seemingly weak Bonnie (the current wife of Madeline's ex-husband) who seemed to have a weak presence but also played an important role. These mothers are the same The difference is the unreserved love for the child and the attitude of living hard, the difference is the bitterness or pain of the past and the present that is almost unknown in the bottom of my heart. When such a group of women and their families appear in the same film, living in a small town that intersects and collides with each other, the good drama is staged.
I don’t do things like repeating the development of the plot. What I want to say is that if you pay attention to some details in the play while watching, then the answers to some of the mysteries in the play can actually be guessed, such as who harmed Jane. , who is bullying Amabelle, and even who is dead can be roughly guessed, but the beauty of this play is that even if you know the truth of the incident, you will still face life for the sake of the women in the play. The struggles, hard work, and the courage behind all kinds of dilemmas attracted and watched carefully. The editing and soundtrack of the film also maintains the rhythm of the whole drama well, so that you will not have the urge to play with your phone while watching.
In recent years, women-themed dramas and movies have emerged in an endless stream. To paraphrase a high-sounding statement, this tendency reflects the development direction of our society, people's thinking about the status of women, and more and more women. The awakening of our self-awareness; the great women who are the main force of market consumption, of course, also determine the content presented by the TV and film industry. But whether it is on the screen or in reality, many stories tell us how difficult it is to maintain a balance in our career, family, interpersonal relationship and our own heart.
Before the end of the film, the female police officer asked, why lie? This question is not so much for the heroines in the play as it is for each of us. In fact, the real life of modern women is not like this, trying to maintain a beautiful image in front of others, but only themselves know the inner entanglement or the difficulty of life. Fortunately, we are not experiencing all of this alone, but as a group of women. a member of it.
I especially like this poster. Maybe the so-called wonderful and almost perfect life is just a lie; or, are we not lying?
