I watched the English version of the movie "Scars of Tears" today.
The difficulty of English is above the fourth and sixth grades of the university, which is a little difficult. But halfway through the plot, it becomes very easy to understand. Simply put, this is the story of an unfortunate middle-aged woman who was misunderstood and then proved innocent. On the subject alone, this movie can only be considered a 7+, but I'm willing to give it a 9. Because the way it tells the story is very special and artistic: it tells the present while recalling the past, and when recalling the past, it uses a very bright color, forming a dark and heavy atmosphere with the "present". sharp contrast. If "A Beautiful Mind" and "Detective" can also use similar techniques to present the hallucinations of the protagonists, it won't make me so confused that I want to curse my mother.
I don't have much insight, so I use the "three-act structure" to analyze the story to make up the number of words:
Act 1 (Foreshadowing): The middle-aged woman has been a servant in the house of a wealthy old lady in town for nearly 20 years. One day, the old lady fell down the stairs and fell to her death. The middle-aged woman was suspected by the local police detective as the murderer. Before that, the detective also suspected that the middle-aged woman's husband was also killed by her. After seeing the news in the newspaper, the daughter of the middle-aged woman rushed home to find out the details of the matter.
Act 2 (Conflict): The daughter has always mistaken her mother for killing her father, so the two keep arguing after meeting. In fact, the father was an alcoholic, a violent man with a tendency to abuse his wife, and he stole the money that the mother had worked so hard to save for her daughter's schooling. The middle-aged woman told her daughter the truth, but her daughter did not believe it, and she always resented her mother in her heart.
In the end, the mother told her daughter the truth. The wealthy old lady was seeking her own death, because she hated her life as an elderly person who was taken care of and could not do anything in bed all day long; about her daughter's father, a middle-aged woman People can't stand her husband's alcoholism, wife abuse, and inaction, and indirectly designed to make her husband fall into a trap and die.
Act 3 (Ending): After the daughter learns the truth, she recalls the past and finds that she was molested by her father, and begins to believe her mother - her father is indeed a violent bastard. Then he went home again to prove his mother's innocence.
The story begins: the mother seems to be carrying two murders; the daughter hates her mother;
End of the story: The mother is wronged; the daughter is reconciled to the mother.
How, and why, from beginning to end, is where the core values of the story lie. For reasons of time, not much to say. The film as a whole is heavy, but also moving. After reading it, I also want to say one sentence: life is really not easy. Happy families are all alike, and unhappy families are different.
