This is a movie based on a true story. The film ends with a short live-action video. The heartfelt smile between the two lovers (old people) in the picture moved me.
They are really happy... Some people commented that this is the beauty she dared not expect.
How could a lame, hunchbacked ugly woman win this enviable happiness? ...This is probably the central idea that the film wants to convey to the audience.
At the beginning of the film, it describes such a woman:
Ugly, lame, hunchbacked, distorted smile, speech snarky; smoked, rejected by family members, mocked by passers-by.
These situations and experiences are enough to destroy most people in the world. I think the heroine is also suffering the same pain. The difference is that this pain did not bring down the heroine, she still bravely pursued independence.
Everett's home is an extremely rudimentary and dilapidated house, and even more rudimentary is Everett's somewhat distorted and perverted heart. Although he has the seeds of kindness in his heart, he treats people vulgarly, looks down on Mo Di, loses his temper at every turn, and even beats him. "I am the biggest in the house, the dog is the second, the chicken is the third, and you are the lowest." And Mo Di seemed to be bearing all this silently, and had to admire her tenacity.
If you can only bear it, how can you win respect and love?
Mo Di's silent dedication has actually changed Everett's view of Mo Di little by little. Everyone has feelings, and your kindness to a person will always touch the other person.
Express your feelings. Mo Di is a straightforward woman, she will say anything she thinks, which allows Everett to know whether Mo Di is happy or not. Communication and exchange are the most necessary links in interpersonal communication, as well as the premise of understanding and respect.
Knowing how to respect yourself is actually the premise of being respected by others. I saw that every time Everett insulted and beat Mo Di, Mo Di was striving to defend her dignity, even if she left the house. It is such a struggle again and again that the two people have formed the basis of mutual respect.
economic independence. I think Mo Di's financial independence is one of the big reasons why she earns Everett's respect, at least in the film.
Do what you love. Mo Di loves to paint, it makes her inner peace, happy, focus on doing what she loves, it will produce a kind of magic, (most people probably don't know), that is it will make you beautiful confidence. I feel that part of Everett's love for Mo Di also comes from this.
This film is recommended for female friends who are looking for poems and distances in their struggles.
