"Snow Angel", after watching this film, I am used to looking for clues to interpret this film in the title. So when I watched this film, I was expecting the angel in the snow to appear. Uh, it turned out that from its usual image style and narrative style, my angel spirit is destined to not appear. But there may be a particularly naive thought that still remains in my mind, and no matter how far-fetched, I'm going to find the angel. So I managed to find two angels.
The first angel is of course the misty tara. Annie and Green have divorced, and the children are taken care of by Annie, but it is the child who acts as a zipper, so Green has been doing what Annie wants him to do, hoping to return to the happy life of a family of three. Therefore, although Annie already has a new love, it is inevitable that she will never see Green again. But unfortunately one day the angel suddenly left, this blow stripped Green of the idea of ​​returning to a normal life, and turned the cause of the tragedy to Annie who was not taken care of because of her illness. In the end, Annie was killed by Green, and he himself also committed suicide.
The second angel is Arthur's girlfriend. She likes him and he likes her too. She can feel that he likes her, and he should feel that she likes him too. But in a period of time, no one took a step forward, and it was not until his girlfriend broke it out that Arthur began to really open his heart to people other than himself and accept others. So his girlfriend's love opened his heart, and he could really start to express his inner thoughts and tell the people around him his true psychological thoughts. In the past, although he had a premonition of his father's betrayal of himself and his mother, and even saw his father holding hands with other women on the spot, he just kept it in his heart and did not further interrogate his father. Later, he realized that he could not let love His own people were injured, and he should also assume the power to protect his loved ones, so he finally broke out against his father, and later his father and mother also reconciled.
In fact, the biggest feeling of watching this film is that the men portrayed in this film are all submissive and no one dares to take responsibility, while the women inside are just the opposite. After a series of blows, they themselves use their strong hearts. Cope with the "disaster" at hand. For example, Arthur's father is in fact a man who loves to play tricks but refuses to admit it frankly in front of his wife and son. Arthur is also a closed and introverted man who dares not take the initiative to pursue the girl he likes, and he is not willing to admit it in front of his wife and son. I don't even dare to question my faults and be brave enough to protect my mother. Green is a strong man and a soft man. On the one hand, Annie's lover likes cheating, but on the other hand, she is afraid of his wife. She is not very smart in her work. At that time, although he admitted adultery, he didn't dare to take it at all, and could only let the two women deal with the crime he also participated in. The women inside are physically weaker, but psychologically they are stronger and calmer than these men. Annie takes care of the children alone, and takes care of her friends after her affair with her mistress is broken. After breaking up, she had to face the great pain of losing her child and her lover's betrayal in the end, but she still managed to get over it, and she didn't lose her mind like Green did. Annie's friends can immediately disregard their previous grudges and stand up to help when they betrayed their friends and need help. This kind of inclusiveness can be said to be how difficult it is for a woman. Arthur's mother, after knowing her husband's betrayal of her, still pretended to be indifferent, did not let her son know, always protected her son, and suffered alone, which was quite great.
But "Snow Angel" always makes people a little helpless, and I don't like this film.
