The Forbidden Passion To Seek In A Midlife Crisis

An ethical family literary film co-produced by Denmark and Sweden. Jumping out of the story itself, I can personally feel the challenge of full screen. When people are middle-aged, they are not angry at all from the complicated and boring work. The mother's profession in the play is a lawyer who solves cases of sexual abuse of minors. It is not difficult to see the helplessness of facing vulnerable groups all day long in the profession of fighting for the interests of sexual abuse for minors. The mid-life crisis may also be a small entry point that the director wants to express. Going home is faced with the same household chores and the trivial care of the young for ten years. The married life no longer has the freshness and passion of the past, and there is no more talk. object. Reminds me of a sentence Yuhi read in a book about dealing with 100 kinds of psychological stress in middle age, "In a sea of ​​people, I have experienced with another person I have never met, knowing, falling in love, running in, and getting married. This may be life. The first step in making you an adult on the spiritual path." As an unmarried person, it may not feel deep, but the subtle influence from parents has penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

In the return segment, the lonely life ends with the intrusion of the stepson. The only child of the husband and ex-wife was ordered to drop out of school due to lack of discipline, and the mother who drank and gambled casually threw it to the busy father. The air of their first meeting was full of embarrassment. Suddenly, her adult son made her heart full of thorns and overwhelmed, and the contact for many days was also at the dinner table. (The story has reached 1/3) The director used a theft case as an introduction to bring the two closer. The stepmother used the police as an excuse to tame the wild horse. So far, the son has gradually participated in various family activities. Among them, they swim together and play with their sisters. Through the lens, the emotional signal sent by the director to us is revealed everywhere. The sun shines on each other's skin, and the stepmother's carcass and mature female beauty are undoubtedly revealed through wide-angle and panoramic long shots. In the face of time, the cold hearts of people can be melted, and the desire in the depths of the jungle is ignited by the youthful anger of the youth.

Queen of Hearts

The fragment that shocked me so far felt like I had touched the barrier of taboo, "A silent late-night stepmother was tossing and turning in bed, a dim yellow light penetrated the door of her heart from the crack of the door, walked into the room, looked at each other, and continued. each other's bodies." (2/3) The camera shot from the stepmother's back to the stepson with a puzzled and deep look, and then the camera was pushed to the middle of the two, but there was not much expression. After releasing the passion, the two left as if nothing had happened. each other. This opens the door to taboos, and seeks the thrill of pressing opportunity after opportunity. Personally, I feel that the overall film coloring and costumes use pure European and American styles, which are in harmony with this deformed incestuous love.

She and her husband gave birth to two lovely and beautiful children. The family is considered to be middle-class and rich, with decent jobs and enviable social status. They live in a villa surrounded by forests. The forest behind the house is a paradise for the children. Relax in your own sanctuary.

forest in heart

The second thing that attracted me to this play is: first, the director can subtly capture the audience's heart and the idea of ​​seeking sensory stimulation; The beautiful long shot forms a strong contrast with the plot behind. The sunlit grass and gloomy forest are the breeding ground for her and her stepson. The sun shines on the intertwined skin of the two lying on the grass.

At all costs sacrificing saplings to save the forest, the original soul has already been burned. Justice is the forest that the world looks up to. The autumn wind passes by, and it falls into a magnificent business, leaving dead branches of lies.

At a family gathering, the fact that the two were not incest was caught by a friend, and the camera was mostly given to the heroine. Instantly, the rich facial expressions turned deadly, and he hesitated for three seconds to catch up with his friends and begged not to tell his secrets. At this point, the fear of the family crisis hit immediately, and the attitude towards the stepson changed 180 degrees. There was no gentleness like a lover before, and then more unprovoked blame and intimidation. Responsibility, living in anxiety and fear all day long, the stepson threatened her with telling her father about the incident, but she chose to drive the stepson out of the house, and the tragedy happened. Without the care of the parents, the stepson finally chose to die. The story is probably here. There are no more lines. Finally, she walked into the forest where there was a moment of tenderness with each other. The warm sunlight shone on the camera, and the camera rose again. Nolan's perspective of God gave us deep thinking and ending. .

"We are looking out at the forest from the camera, and she is looking at the world in the forest." There is exciting happiness in the collision of aesthetics and scale, but this journey that should not have happened will eventually be destroyed by the strong wind, and in the end, what is left is a sigh of regret.
