When looking at two characters in the same space in the film, their eyes are often intertwined, they are not on the same horizontal line, and characters in different situations are often seen in a right-angled fight when they are lying down to be served, sitting and being interrogated, or in other different positions. , viewed as a ridge and a peak on the side. Later, the lines of sight gradually became parallel, and the characters began to stand side by side in the same frame, sharing joys and sorrows. You can see what you can see and what you can't see through. After the twists and turns, in the end it seems that nothing really happened, but in the unrealized events, the film delicately captures the many real moments that make up a woman's life. All the characters reflect each other's living conditions and situations, with rich layers and similar functions, so that the joys and sorrows of human beings also become the same. The film naturally exudes the breath of life and poetry, wandering in the comedy of the group and the tragic moment of one person, like reflecting the sunlight you see on weekdays into seven colors and weaving it into a hydrangea for you to see. The attitudes and emotional states of the characters at the moment are different, but it seems that it is only a matter of time before they become each other.
Later, it seems that nothing happened, but many moments tell you the waves behind this normality and appearance. A woman will be tempted, reluctant, unwilling, and shaken. She can't love it, and silently chooses what to take care of, and why those things she imagined might not happen. A woman is the one who pleases herself, and takes care of the housekeeping life for the loved one. Many of her choices aren't even out of consequences, but possibilities, prepared for a rainy day in the caramel-sweet and mixed trifles. All indoor alone moments are like walking into a woman's heart. She cleans passionately in the hotel, hides the truth of her menopause in the toilet, is busy hoping that others will see what she wants, and leaves a drop on the operating table. Helpless tears, silently wiped off the heavy makeup. You see how a woman lives happily in the secular world, and you see how she forbears and refrains from making choices and reintegrates into the secular world. There is no deep hatred and chasm in this film, but a reconciliation with life after many choices of love and obligation. No matter what your heart desires, when you pass by on the side of the road, you may not pay much attention to his shortened trousers or her short hair; however, no matter how much you don't care about the eyes of the world, she will. Dress up, bring a mirror to look at when the door is closed, grab a basket of love letters upstairs to read, and collect all the tickets for violations in the restricted area. Between sadness and joy, the music played, and in the ambiguous favor of the same sex, she put on her headphones and helped her cut her long hair implicitly. No one knows her suppressed feelings and identity. Under the music, there are many truths of life and more love and disguise. This film really makes me watch with relish, sometimes I can't help laughing, sometimes my nose is sour, and I am very moved. Although the countries are different, Labaki's films gave me a sense of belonging that our lives and cultures are in common. Gives you a sense of stability after showing support for your understanding of your life. Nadine Labaki is such a good director.
