Unpopular movie recommendation - "Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always"

Since 2020, more film and television works have begun to focus on the theme of women's rights and interests, and many problems that have not been faced directly surfaced. The film tells the story of an ordinary girl in Pennsylvania, who became pregnant unexpectedly, and because the local law does not allow abortion, accompanied by her sisters, she used their meager savings from working to go to New York for an operation. The depressing atmosphere in the film makes people sad, but the strength of the protagonist and the friendship with the girl are touching. After discovering that he was unexpectedly pregnant, the protagonist still showed a calmness beyond his age, not panicking, not complaining, but quietly thinking about the solution. The friend did not ask any further questions, but just took out a few banknotes that he had earned from his part-time job, and accompanied the girl on the bus to New York. Girls and girls rely on, so fragile, and so powerful. At first glance, such a theme is not unusual, but if you think about it carefully, there are really very few movies that dare to face this theme (except "Three Weeks and Two Days in April"). Many people call for gender equality. Sadly, since ancient times, there have been many contradictions and problems among human beings, and there is no way to truly solve them, and there is no way to truly achieve equality. What is needed is more people's attention, and more people have the courage to speak out. Just like this movie, it is not destined to be as popular as a commercial blockbuster, but it has made a good start for us to pay attention to this kind of phenomenon.

    What makes this outdated subject matter under the mediocre dispatch shine a little, I am afraid it is the branch line that leads to the chatting up man on the bus. It is the mixed power and economic driving forces behind this seemingly ambiguous emotion that gave birth to the "second sex" in the relationship between men and women, as well as the complexity of the emotional power of men and women in real life attached to this social structure.

    B+/ Compared with "Beach Rat", it is a slight step backward, but the skill is still very strong. Hitman's camera is still body-facing. It "extracts" human organs from the body through trembling and floating, like a lump of life that has just slipped, and uses it as the inner cohesion of the character to contract and relax in the environment, and produce an intimate and thick relationship with other bodies. collision. So we saw mollusk-like crawling palms, star-like faces, moss-like bruises on the abdomen, and vine-like fingers... These touching physical details make this female story still within the framework of the overly regular drama. It has a solid and flexible foundation and leads us to a profound multi-dimensional life.
