A film that I have watched for half a year, a film review that I wanted to write half a year ago, but because I was afraid that clumsy words could not express the shock and resonance that the film gave me, so I kept thinking about it, kept waiting, and waited until one day I could feel my heart. Calm down, when I rethink this movie, I want to record something, maybe the current words can't express one thousandth of its wonderful degree, but at least it is a kind of true feeling from the heart... .... what kind of a theme, you can't expect it at the beginning of the film, because like the name of the movie - the hidden woman's heart, the director always creates some misty scenes for you to make your emotions Completely lost in the bizarre and sometimes violent behavior of the heroine of the film, the plot is dangerous and interlocking... At the beginning, in a dark and gorgeous room, a few women wearing sexy underwear, with good body and masks They walked side by side towards the only dim light in the room. A small hole in the door of another room peeked at these beautiful bodies. A voiceover instructed the women in the middle of the room to twist their bodies to show their bodies. The eyes behind the hole were selected, she took off the only underwear, and turned completely naked in front of the camera... After the selection, she slowly put on the underwear again, and pulled off the mask on her face, revealing a A numb, empty, beautiful face with a humiliated look... The next scene. A woman with chestnut hair and shabby clothes sat on a moving train, looking out of the window with a heavy heart, frowning slightly, her eyes wandering With unfathomable sadness, the beautiful silhouette is marked with a little time stamp. The sad expression is so similar to the blonde beauty in the previous scene. Although the hair color and dress are very different, we can still see that the two women are the same. personal. It turned out that she was a prostitute. Now she has changed her face and is alone. What kind of woman is she? Where is she going? Her name is Irena, and she is going to a small town famous for its jewelers. The town is quiet and quaint: tall classical buildings, exquisite lion head fountains in the middle of the streets, waxed buildings, ornate carpets leading to the bright sky Like a spiral staircase full of geometric beauty, all the elegance reveals a strong artistic atmosphere.… She quickly rented a house opposite a building where the rich lived, so that she could see the occupants of the building opposite. In order to get a job in the house, she paid 20% of her meager salary to the introducer. When she went to the supermarket to buy something, the alarm sounded. She was stopped by the security guard. She spread out her shopping bag on the cashier counter. Several boxes of fresh strawberries rolled out of the small plastic bag. When the security guard searched her body, her hand touched her body On both sides, she suddenly became extremely uncomfortable. Could it be that she was nervous because she really stole something? At this moment, a dark red screen switched to this moment, a scene of sexual abuse. The naked woman curled up, her powerful big hands pushed it to the ground again and again, her slender body was pushed out by powerful force, her head and knees hit the ground, making a dull sound... It turned out that she was unfamiliar and rude because of the security guard. She remembered something during the search, and the sad feeling almost made her suffocate. Her body began to rise and fall with the sound of heavy breathing, and finally the alarm came to mind again when no one passed by. The security guard stopped the body search and apologized to this shabby foreign woman. , Irena's memory slowly returned to the present from the scene in the memory just now. In the dark room in the middle of the night, she was tasting the strawberries alone, the light outside the window cast a pale white on her clear outline, and the numb and forbearing face in the daytime now shows desperate sadness, and occasionally it will quickly A flash of sweetness flashed, she gently picked up the strawberry, slowly brought it to her mouth, and began to recall, the scene in her memory was a little blurry, even a little shaky, a construction site bathed in golden sunlight, a tall blond and dusty Scented woman sits on the other side doing nothing to bask in the sun, a handsome man at work puts down his work, goes to the tap and carefully rinses a handful of strawberries, then holds them in both hands, walks to the blond beauty, stretches out With both hands, looking at her innocently, the woman turned her head lazily, with a smug and somewhat teasing expression, and slowly fixed her free eyes on the sincere face of the gracious man in front of her, her eyes slowly Moving down, she saw the bright red strawberries covered with golden sunlight... After a second, she put away her frivolous smile and subconsciously gave the man a pure smile... When the reality and the past have similarities, she can't control herself from recalling the tumultuous past... She turned out to be a prostitute who sold her body and gave birth to children under the control of the underworld, and she has an extremely humiliating and painful past. , her beauty was just a huge disaster when she was under the control of the underworld, because her beauty was occupied by the underworld leaders for a long time, trained in all kinds of perverted sexual abuse, and sent to countless guests to do All kinds of perverted and painful things, she lived a life of despair and numbness, and even gave up on herself, until the handsome man who came to her with strawberries appeared, her life was lit up by sincere love. The dawn of hope, she enjoys love, and tells her pain to her lover. The man seriously said that she will soon escape from her nightmare life, and her pain finally found a trace of comfort. But at the same time, she had to work for the underworld, and was driven by the sturdy leader in a rudimentary car. When the car occasionally passed the construction site, irena's lover on the construction site would stop her work, and her worried eyes always followed. Looking at the irena in the car, she playfully draws a heart shape for him on the car window, with a relaxed expression on her face, the warmth of love is silently communicated between the two unfortunate people, but everything is shattered by the underworld. The leader looked in his eyes.... After a while, Irena's boyfriend disappeared, she panicked, and quickly became haggard, crying all day long to find her lover, she was pregnant with her lover's child, With a big belly, she begged the leader to leave her the child. Of course, everything was useless for the indifferent and fierce leader. In the end, the child was bought to someone else. She used various methods to beg the people around her to tell her some news, but she didn't know her. After begging for a long time, finally an old woman who worked for the leader couldn't bear her nagging and mourning face, and told her where her boyfriend was going, what a fact... Because her love with Irena affected the interests of the underworld, her boyfriend was killed and thrown in a huge garbage mountain. Irena was walking among the garbage mountains in despair. The gray-blue sky above her head was a little bit of crows wailing, circling, a The close-up of looking up under the sky hit her dull-eyed face, and the crow with black dots in the background was enough to form a picture full of death. Her clothes were covered with dirt, and she stumbled, an inexplicable force. Guiding her to a piece of garbage, she began to focus on digging and digging numbly. She couldn't feel the huge stench of the garbage at all. I don't know how long it took, and she finally dug up her boyfriend's blackened body, which was already indistinguishable. Irena was heartbroken, knelt down weakly and held her lover's head tightly and cried heart-breakingly... The fire of love was quenched, Irena was finally desperate, but she became cruel and brave because of it, she thought She did everything she could to find out the most likely whereabouts of the child, and arranged her plans in detail in her mind. In a house with a boss passing by by a train, she unusually took the initiative to tease the boss who liked her, and the man fell asleep after venting. She got up and looked at her watch. The train passed the house on time, making a loud noise. Irena took out the scissors that were more than a foot long, and stabbed the sturdy sleeping man with all her strength. Blood immediately came out of his abdomen. It splashed out, and the liquid was sprayed into the room in a columnar shape. The man's painful and distorted face was quickly blurred by blood. The knife stabbed at this body, her face and hands on her skirt, and Irena was soaked in the blood sprayed everywhere. For her, this was her most wonderful carnival day, and she took revenge on this vicious man who destroyed everything for her. The bright red liquid splashed everywhere was as beautiful to her as the dazzling fireworks that bloomed for her alone in the night sky...... So she took a lot of money from the leader and came to this small town in order to find the last child of her 9 children, and it was also the crystallization of her and her lover. The jeweler who adopted a child, for a simple wish, lived with her child Tea as a nanny. Tea is smart, cute, and beautiful. She has chestnut curly hair and the same congenital disease as her. The two even have an indescribable tacit understanding. However, Tea is naturally weak and is often bullied by other children in kindergarten. Not daring to fight back, he even explained it to Irena using Christian teachings: If someone hits you on the left cheek, you should stretch your right cheek to it. So Irena started to play a game with Tea. Tea’s hands and feet were tied with cloth strips on the bed, and she pushed her young body onto the bed again and again. Tea, who could not move her hands and feet, struggled to get up with her head and knees against the surface of the bed, which was very interesting. Gorgeous laugh, Irena's head was tied and pushed to the ground while being sexually abused by the underworld leader and the knees touched the ground at the same time in Irena's mind, little Tea began to laugh again and again to get up, and was immediately pushed down by Irena, she became tired. , Tired of this game, and yelled not to play, but Irena showed no mercy, pushed down the little girl who tried her best to stand up again and again with a serious face, and yelled provocatively for Tea to get up. Little Tea has lost her strength, but Irena still doesn't stop, Tea started to get angry, crying, and finally collapsed on the bed exhausted, Irena untied the pile of cloth strips, and the extremely angry Tea immediately jumped up and slapped her hand. It rained on Irena's face... Irena was stunned for a while, then came back to her senses, shaking Tea's little arm and exclaiming in surprise: "Look, Tea, you have learned to resist..." In this way, a woman who has suffered all kinds of humiliation, in her own peculiar way, teaches her children the skills of resistance. . . . With the development of the plot, the violence and bloody colors gradually fade away, and the emotional level gradually emerges like a beach in a low tide. Irena did not kill the underworld leader and found her in the small town to get the money back. Irena dealt with him, and finally On a dark and windy night for a month, she led the man to the place where she called the money buried, and killed the man by mistake during the resistance. The mistress of the jeweler Adacher, with a mother's sensitivity, noticed Irena's strange behavior and dismissed her, but died at the hands of the underworld leader who took revenge on Irena. In the end, Irena tells the whole story of her bizarre behavior at the police station, her cruelty and violence, eccentricities, all in order to live with her last child, who was confirmed by the certificate she saw in the jeweler's safe earlier. It was her own flesh and blood, but the DNA test and the confessions of some parties proved that everything was just a coincidence. Tea was not her child. She had always been strong and slipped from the chair and passed out on the ground...... I think the most wonderful description of the director is here. Irena knows that the child is not hers, but she has established a relationship with Little Tea for a period of time. I have to say that she has an inexplicable connection with this child, maybe God Another gift given to her. She was sentenced at this time and was specially allowed to visit Tea at the hospital where irena and her mother left the unhappy hospital. The child pretended to be an adult and chatted with her, naively telling her to stay. By her side, she made up a beautiful lie to Tea about her departure. Tea ate the first meal in several days from irena with her own hands, her pale face gradually became angry, and they agreed to communicate with each other... I don't know how many years later, Irena was released from prison, and Tea came out as a beautiful girl to pick her up at the gate of the prison to pick her up, a relative who is not related by blood... Family love finally awakened the kindness and maternal love in a woman's heart. Feelings that are not related by blood, finally put aside the worldly concepts and sublimate because of each other's exchanges and sacrifices... I was moved by the tortured and haggard face of the heroine, the golden light glowing when love came, the infinite love and tenderness revealed in front of the child, the firm and forbearing expression in the revenge, the scenes in the film, the composition of the composition is still the same Sophisticated, but without the delicate, delicate and bright texture of previous films, and deliberately shooting some seemingly rough pictures and dark tones to express this cruel theme, commanding the whole film with an almost rude feeling, flashing back The scene used brilliant colors, but it felt very unstable and shaky. It alludes to the violent turmoil and short-lived hopeless love in the heroine's heart in the past. This is the 2006 film by Italian director Tonadore, a film master known for his trilogy "Cinema Paradiso", "The Pianist at Sea" and "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily". Tonadore's name itself is A golden signboard, and the films under him are always eloquent, sensitive and rich. This director who focuses on female themes once again shows us the great tension of women, a woman who is born for love, a woman who can endure everything, but in the end, after being oppressed and losing love and family, there is an unimaginable resistance when she resists. The powerful power of the film.... The director's delicacy and warmth are fully revealed in the film. I love this film because it gave me a strong shock and touched something inexplicable in my heart. In the incident, you have been lost in a hypocritical society. Tonadore tells you the stories of some ordinary people, repeatedly depicting the most tender details from their experiences, reminding you that there is actually a true feeling that needs to be awakened... .... and the soundtrack of this film is the new work of Ennio Morricone, the winner of this year's Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, and this excellent soundtrack has made it a perfect work in my mind. The director said, in fact, everyone in the film is autistic. I say, it is instinctive love that opens up the hearts of people with good hearts...
