Leave some room for our intelligence

I'm still looking forward to getting "A Mother", because there is British Winslet in it, but the director is not familiar with it, and seems to be good at filming incestuous love.
However, after reading it, it didn't make people feel blocked, didn't feel deafening, didn't feel refreshed, and didn't feel the same way. It's like entering a labyrinth of life that seems to be a multi-clue and multi-emotional intertwined life, but was easily led out of the labyrinth by a "philosopher" and gave the answer, without even having a chance to be surprised.
This all-powerful "philosopher" is the narrator. From the beginning of the film, when the somewhat old male voice sounded, I was guessing his role. First, I thought of Mary Alice who died in "Desperate Housewives", but it was not suspenseful. film; is it in the form of a note-memoir? It's just a matter of men and women in the community, and the protagonists have no special status; except for the perverted man's mother, there are no other elderly people in the film.
In front of the three housewives who were talking about the time to go to bed, Winslet's clear temperament and free eyes had clearly shown her impatience, and the philosopher must tell us decisively: "Sarah Think, she wants to come here whether she wants to or not."; and it must have been obvious in the picture that her child Lucy was out of tune with the other children; In the perfect green lens shrouded in the tree, the "philosopher" elaborates every change in Sarah's psychology; in Brad's mind, the "philosopher" uses strong contrasting images from his wife Jennifer's Long legs, black hair, beautiful breasts to Sarah's short, thick eyebrows, boyishness, told him and us, the gap between the two women, and what's more, he pulled Jennifer into a non-real space, like a model He told his husband in a pretentious manner: "You are an idiot for cheating with that woman!
" The confrontation, the jealousy and guilt towards Jennifer in Sarah's heart, that "philosopher" is everywhere, all-pervasive, and finally, in the house of the man with exhibitionism, he finally disappeared, in the perverted man, the doting mother, In front of a woman suffering from depression, you can't do it! Is the mental space of a normal person something you can trample on at will?
It's okay, I can only say that it's okay, when several clues converged, when these people's emotions erupted, the "philosopher" was still a little interesting, and he didn't say a word on that night when the dust was about to settle: "In In the face of the threat of life, they have found the value of their past life..."
In the already wonderful narrative clues, in the already distant scenery, in front of the already clear characters, give us a little space to think, don't put The audience should be mentally handicapped, and don't lower themselves to the level of soap operas.
Bergman once struggled with God: "I can make a choice to never resist again, or to give up this never-ending struggle. It's to cling to the strong/father, to my own sense of security. We need to surrender, or to expose this voice that only existed a few centuries ago, constantly laughing at human beings.” Because of the confusion, because of the unknown answers, we are in awe; because of the mystery of life, because of those insoluble contradictions, because of those inseparable contradictions No, movies exist because of images that can't be explained by fiction, painting, photography, and that's why we love it.

Little Children quotes

  • Narrator: Sexual tension is an elusive thing, but Kathy had pretty good radar for it. It was like someone had turned a knob to the right, and the radio station clicked in so loud and clear it almost knocked her over. Once she became aware of the connection between them, it seemed impossible that she'd missed it before.

  • Brad Adamson: [talking about his wife] She makes documentaries.

    Sarah Pierce: Oh, like Michael Moore?

    Brad Adamson: Like PBS.
