"I don't think obsession have reasons. That's why they're obsession.
Before watching this film, I got the impression that the works shot by Mr. Dongmu must be chivalrous, courageous, happy and vindictive (I saw it before), in a word, it is the heroic characters that attract the attention of the audience. In other words, most of the works of the old man are "macho", and few female characters become the protagonists. Until one time when I was discussing the Oscar winner with my mother, I mentioned Meryl Streep. My mother told me that this actress once worked with my favorite old man, and I always thought that "The Bridge" "Last Dream" is a work of the same period as "Blue Bridge of Soul Broken"... I didn't know that this movie Dongmu is not only a direct partner with "Aunt Mei", but Dongmu is also the director of this film! I have to admit that my "pseudo Eastwood fan" is very limited, and I almost missed such a good work!
Different from the male hormone MAX characters such as veterans, cowboys, and robbers before Mr. Dongmu, the old man in this film plays a passionate, gentle and very literary photographer for the magazine. Instead of a revolver or "Quick Eight" in his hand this time, he's holding a camera to find beauty. When he meets "Aunt May", he must thank his luck, because the next four days will make him unforgettable for the rest of his life. Even if we can't stay together in this life, and stay alone in the rain and cry in the car, but life is like a drama, we can only blame you for not having the fate to continue. Since fate tells you to give up, you can only put love into your heart.
In fact, when the film first started talking about memories, it was not difficult to infer from some details that there would be a friendship between Robert and Francesca that should not have appeared. When Francesca was preparing dinner for her family, she originally found what she liked on the radio, but when her daughter walked to the table and turned on the radio without hesitation, Francesca's disappointed expression was very obvious. In addition, when she called her husband and son for dinner, the father and son walked into the house from outside the house one after another, but no one noticed the light closing. All these real life details reflect the "traditional women" like Francesca. After they get married and have children, their days begin to become monotonous. The whole day is spent around the dining table, stove and cleaning, and other members of the family are interested in enjoying women. Giving feels right. In addition to going to the mall to buy necessary daily necessities, the rest of their days can basically be said to be "the door is not open, the second door is not open", and they are squeezed by their families and have no spare time, let alone their emotional life, and they are even considered to be living. XXOO is no longer needed after the baby is over. For these women who have been hollowed out by life, the days are repeated every day, and the boring is for sure. At this time, Robert, a photographer who is particularly good at discovering beauty in life, appeared in Francesca's life. Robert took pictures for her, picked flowers, and could cook together, drink coffee, drink, take a walk, and more importantly, Talking about poetry and distant places makes up for the missing part after married life. Even if this kind of extramarital affairs is not recommended, it is worth reflecting on why such "emotional cracks" occur. Just like many public security problems are related to the huge gap between the rich and the poor (Detroit, Baltimore in the United States, Johannesburg in South Africa), and this kind of "spiritual derailment" is also a problem that cannot be solved by amending the marriage law. If some conceptual problems cannot be resolved, this seemingly "indecent" feeling will still occur, and it will intensify as material life becomes richer.
I know that there will definitely be audiences who criticize the heroine in this film for being "disobedient to women", and my most sympathetic person in the whole film is not Robert, who is sad in the rain, but the derailed housewife. She was born in a small Italian town and came to the United States with a longing for married life, but for her marriage life was just childbirth, a supermarket kitchen, and her own farm. I don't know what her yearning for life will be when she is away from Italy, but at least for these years, she must be quite disappointed with life, and her passion has gradually been wiped out. At this time, the gentle Robert appeared, just like adding a spoonful of unexpected seasonings to a pot of bland soup, making the original dullness more flavorful. I'm thinking, Francesca didn't open the car door in the end, she should feel that she is living in this pot of soup, and Robert's ingredients for the past four days have changed some flavors. Add fire, and if it is not good, it will be "the soup is sticky and the pot is broken". Therefore, in the 21st century today, it is also very irresponsible to leave one's family responsibilities to one person without authorization, and then use "tradition" to cover up one's lack of concern and care for the other party. a crack. The seasoning of Robert may not have come at the right time, but if there is no such seasoning, the tastelessness of this pot of soup may continue. As for whether it will break the pot, it is hard to say. It's hard to tell if this is true or not. After all, the ingredients have not been added all the time, and the soup has not simmered.
"Theminuteweleavehere,everythingwillchange." In fact, it is really a question of whether to leave. If keepnothingchange, leave may be inevitable.
