. I watched the movie Certain Women (2016), and I was only sleepy because the movie was so quiet. But it is conceivable that those with experience, experience and expectations will not be trapped, because the personalities of several heroines in the film will make them substitute or associate. If you are inexperienced, inexperienced, and born with a lack of a certain emotion, you might avoid the "dilemma" by thinking about the following question: "A certain woman" is presented as three women, what "like items" do they have? "They can be put in the same movie, and what "kind" of "female" qualities are these homogeneous terms trying to indicate? Of course, different viewers will summarize different similar items. For example, some people think that the film is full of "frustrated", which is very enlightening, but the film does not focus on showing their pursuits, dreams or desires, "frustrated". "It doesn't seem to be possible. However, the frustration of the last person who was first paid emotionally is indeed a kind of "loss". Thinking about the behavior and experience of the two women in front of you, at least from their perspective, "loss" seems to be the main theme, but let us Looking at it together, I think more about the boring life, because not only them, but everyone of us may be like this.
The first woman was arguably "only a businessman". Her current living status is: single, with sex but no love; with a child but no guardianship; with a family but only a dog. For a woman, these seem very abnormal, but her only legal profession does not allow her to fight for herself more points. A client, although difficult to deal with, her 8-month efforts are not worth the explanation of a male lawyer, which will make her feel frustrated in terms of gender: in legal affairs, it is more difficult for women to obtain clients. of trust. When the client became hot-headed and took a hostage, she, as the client's lawyer, was asked to do reassurance work. She persuaded the client to surrender, but the client who wanted to surrender turned her aside. Not only did she go out the back door to the police first She surrendered herself and put her in an awkward position of being unfaithful. This guy doesn't seem to trust her at all, and it turns out that she doesn't trust her at all. It can be seen that she has not been able to win the trust of others outside of legal affairs. Finally, she went to visit the client who was in prison, and she didn't seem to know how to be a friend. We don't know if she's lost on the things listed above, but as bystanders, do we all find it boring for her?
The second woman should be a "family taker". She should have a successful career, and even her husband works for her; she is not "only a career person", she also takes care of family and friends, and she can cook by herself. The relationship with her daughter is like water and fire. Although she is not polite to her husband, and even if she is dissatisfied, she will only be gentle and accuse without evil words, but her husband has long been unfaithful to her. Although she is willing to be busy, the condition may be her absolute authority. For example, during a dinner party, she can tolerate her husband to open his mouth, but he will never allow her to be instructed by someone else, so we can see that her husband took a hamburger When she wanted beer again, she hurriedly changed her mind and said "just a joke". This attitude of giving should be the main reason why her husband betrayed her and her daughter resented her. We don't know if she understands her problem, but her sense of loss at the dinner party is very obvious, the happiness seems to be someone else's, and the only people who greet her "How are you" are the quails in the field. Although her gentleness and strength made it impossible for outsiders to refuse, for example, she wanted to buy the neighbor's sandstone, but her intention was clear, and her attitude of not giving others room to consider should be the main reason why she waved her hand and the neighbor's old man was indifferent. Even though there are all kinds of power and gentleness, but for a little self-interest to get such a "ceremony", that scene is really boring enough.
The third woman should be an "emotionally lonely". Feeling setbacks at the first payment, although this kind of thing cannot be said to be boring, it is self-evident that it causes a sense of psychological loss. After all, she enjoyed it when she was with her, and was reluctant to give up when she left. She drives four hours at night just to see her again, it's kind of infatuated, but when we see how she doesn't say anything to her, do we think it's too boring, is it another scene? "The love you give can't be taken back"?
Is life like this, not only for these women, but also for men, it may be the same, full of loss and boredom. However, no matter how lost and boring, life still has to be lived. (Text / Slate Planting Flowers Wednesday, October 19, 2016)
