The real mourning is to smell the sadness

The first point that strikes is that pessimism is not connected. The heroine alone bears a lot of pain that people around her cannot understand, such as the body that is still prepared for the child after giving birth, for example, she doesn't want to blame anyone, for example, she will go into desolation and numbness first.

The second point that touches is the independence of the heroine. The film presents different ways of coping with grief: the male protagonist's heartbreaking + smoking and drinking + one-night stand; the female protagonist's mother's resistance mode (sounds super reasonable, and it is easy to feel that the female protagonist is weak and escapes). The heroine is the one who sniffs the breath of sadness, and every day after the loss of the baby is shrouded in it. She didn't know how to dissipate or express herself, so she could only brutally eat apples again and again and visit the research center where the body was donated.

The third point that touches is what is true mourning. The last sentence the heroine said in court was the way she found a way out after grinding her grief in her own way. Blaming others, blaming yourself, blaming your partner, will all be the easy way, and it seems to be more positive. But the heroine let sadness soak into the life, the dry flowers and plants in the house, and the stacked bowls and plates are all telling the desolation and collapse of her heart. But she, the road to reconciliation in the end, is to understand that she can't blame anyone, she can only face and walk through this sad place, feel every inch of pain with her naked eyes and body, and admit that "this is irreparable". Finally, achieve a compassion: I don't want to pass this pain to anyone, everyone involved in the delivery of this part hopes that the child can come to this world in a healthy way. A few minor missteps, among other unnamed reasons, led to the loss of life.

I use a heart to grind every inch of the pain related to losing you, why this is so, it becomes irrelevant. Because the hole that lost you will never be filled, and I will live with it for the rest of my life.

    3.5 I said earlier that he is suitable for development in Hollywood, which is not good. The long shot of the birth in the opening scene is very good, the two protagonists are too attractive (Labouf has risen to the TOP1 of the I can list, successfully squeezing out the high commander)

    Martha: This woman, did not intentionally hurt my daughter. That night, she just wanted to deliver a healthy baby. I don't think this is your fault. I don't think it's her fault. I want to thank you. There may be a reason for this to happen, but it's not in this room. If I stand here asking for compensation or for money, then I am, I am saying that what I lost can be compensated, but it cannot be compensated. I can't bring her back to life. No money, sentence, or criminal law can bring her back to life. How can I inflict this pain on other people? Others already suffering? I know she wouldn't want me to do that. Not at all. The brief moment my daughter came into this world was not for me to do that. I'm done, thank you. ——Shang’s good family background and independent thinking allow her to make such choices and express these remarks, while in my real life, I have been exposed to more situations, and I have tried my best, opportunistically, and even framed for more benefits. , blaming others, etc.

Pieces of a Woman quotes

  • Elizabeth: And I'm ashamed of me. That I wasn't a good enough mother to teach you how to stand up and speak for yourself, for God's sakes. And to deal with this. Like my mother taught me. After my father went into the ghetto, my mother found a shack, an empty shack, that she went into and gave birth to me. Without any help at all. She stashed me under the floorboards when she had to go out and steal food. So she could make milk enough to keep me alive, but just alive. Not strong enough to cry, or we'd be caught. When she finally got me to a doctor, he advised her to just let me go. That I wasn't... I wasn't strong enough to survive. But when she absolutely insisted, he picked me up by my feet and held me up like a chicken and said, "If she tries to lift her head, then there's hope." And you know what I did, Martha? I lifted my head. That's what I'm asking you to do now. Lift your head and fight for yourself, for God's sakes! Go out there and face that woman.

  • Lane: Yes, how did you feel holding your baby you had just given birth to?

    Martha: She smelled like an apple.
