woman's life movie

1. There are pieces everywhere in the movie. The plot itself is fragmented, and there is about a month between the short paragraphs. Broken ice, broken feelings, broken mental states. In short everything falls to pieces. 2. In the first 30 minutes of childbirth, Cobain acted very realistically, and the long shots were very refreshing. There is one scene that is very impressive: she is spread out in the bathtub, her arms are on the bathtub wall, and from the outside the door can only see the weak hand, wrist and small arm with black nail polish sticking out from the door frame. And there is a scene where the baby is "coming out" below it is really shocking. 3. There are some very interesting images. Like bridges, seeds, apples. The movie starts with an unfinished bridge and ends with the ashes being sprinkled on the bridge, which I think is a bridge. The seeds represent the heroine's desire for a new life. The first is incomplete hope, the second is complete letting go. And apples represent children, right? The baby smells of apples. When the child died, she went to the supermarket to buy apples. When she was eating apples on the bus, she kept looking at the children beside her. Finally, the little girl went to the tree to pick apples. Under the apple, the whole piece ends under the shroud of the apple tree.

Personally, this film didn't arouse my emotions strongly, and it was very comfortable to watch. The heroine is silent most of the time. The overall tone is cool and grey. The soundtrack is not much, mostly piano-based, flat and bland. It is such a film that records life as calmly as ordinary life. (At least it didn't make me feel as angry all day as I watched Mad Flowers at the End of the Road)

Anyway, don't want to talk too much. I'm not going to talk about feminism. Wishing you all the best of luck when you have a baby!

    Powerful long shots, well-designed scheduling, a large number of close-ups and partial close-ups of the heroine, under the delicate shell created by technology, the characters' inner development and changes, the relationship with her husband, the relationship with her mother, and her inner self. There are only one fragment and plot point, and it does not well support the core of the story. This made the film seem superficial, and the actors' performances became a show of acting skills. The cliché design of plot points and the constantly appearing blunt metaphors form a separation from the film's exquisite technique and temperament. The final court scene did not achieve the strength it should have, and was completely discouraged under a smile. Can never empathize.

    In the first half hour, from the joy of welcoming the arrival of life to the despair of accepting the tragedy, the emotional contrast brought about by it made a very beautiful but also comparable to the "tiger head" opening. But the story gradually goes back to the (imaginary) way of life that imitates marital trauma and "grief processing X steps". Martha, who is trying not to be defeated, is trapped in the pain of childbirth, restrained by the expectations around her, and uses her own methods. Learn to breathe again, become yourself again... but it seems that the design that has been carefully laid before is a bit of a waste. Vanessa Kirby's performance is worthy of praise, but Iliza Shlesinger, who jumped from stand-up comedy here to complete a surprise transformation, and Ellen Burstyn, who has written complex emotions and is young, all the actresses have formed the best "pieces" in their respective positions. ”, which fits the excellent performance homework.
