This film, which won the Cannes Film Festival award in 2000, was the first time I saw it yesterday, huh, I don't know where I wasted my time in the past few years.
A female immigrant from the Czech Republic saves everything in order to cure her son, but a desperate landlord shamelessly steals her money. In extreme contradiction, she kills the landlord and takes the money. He went to the hospital to pay for his son's surgery and was arrested. The story ends with her being hanged in a democratic country like the United States for refusing her friend's money for her son's surgery to get a lawyer, unable to appeal.
In the form of the heroine's daydreaming, the film runs through the rhythm of music and tap dancing, and the desire to survive comes to me.
In the end, no miracle happened, no media publicity, no so-called democratic rescue, and finally, a woman who loved music and life was hanged like this.
After watching it, my heart is empty. In fact, I like this kind of film very much. It is very realistic and cold, but it has many feelings.
Life may be like this, cold and cruel, but there are still things worthy of our nostalgia, such as music, such as love.
