The ice on the river has melted

1. First of all, this is a movie that I like very much. There is no way I really like long shots. The long indoor shot that started the labor in one go, it was so beautiful, the beauty of the movie, the shaky shots were like my eyes, I was in the house, I saw it, I saw it. So in the end, I also felt the tension in the courtroom. I deeply felt the tension of the trembling throats of the two parties, especially after the photo studio cleaned up the pictures of the children, the mother's performance, the careful touch, the complicated Emotions rushed to my throat, and the director intensified the actor's breathing at this time, shattering and unsteadily hitting my heart.

2. There are many details in the movie that can be dug up. For example, when two people want to re-ML for the first time, men obviously hold back for a long time, not only physically, but also emotionally want to release, urgently want, women are passive Accept to please. Anyone who has had family experience with this clip will understand.

When facing my mother and family, it is a large long shot. At this time, I have to pay attention to the charm of the long shot. In a small space, the embarrassing situation is directly in front of my eyes.

The male protagonist flirting with her sister at the door of the house is also really good, especially when her mother said that they are all family.

The other two people's way of venting, the woman knows restraint, the man just wants to release, and after the release he wants to be intimacy is rejected, this is the person who knows restraint, the two sisters are the same, the man and the family seem out of tune, even passive.

3. When the heroine told the truth in court and released herself, I was also relieved for her. The bridge was the project of the hero. The film gave a lot of close-ups of the bridge and the river, and finally sprinkled the ashes. In this place, I also liberate myself. After all, the ice on the river has melted. Some people say that it is a bit redundant for the girl to climb the tree at the end. I don’t think so. This is a new life after letting go. It is also a long shot. In the lens....

4. The film shows not only the fragments of women, but also the fragments of life. It is just some analysis of life based on women, heroines, mothers, lawyers, children, midwives, etc. How should people face when faced with difficulties? There is a saying in our own life, we should not impose this pain on others.

    Questions about how people put the "pieces" back together after trauma. I love the director's narrative pacing, the ambitious, immersive childbirth sequence at the beginning, and the script's life-like details about intimacy. At the same time, I also like its most fundamental cruelty - the fragments without a partner, family, or friends who can really accompany you, and some pain and loneliness are destined to belong to the individual. But it's also the most encouraging conclusion, because it also means that no one can really stop you, no matter how tightly bound you are. After all the real events, I can't really ridicule the last given dream in this story.

    The first half an hour is a horror movie about childbirth, and the latter point directly points to the core of childbearing being the first cooperation between mother and child. The surrounding husbands, midwives, and surrounding relatives have little to do with this process. The process and result of the birth of life are only borne by the woman, and in the end it all falls on the mother.

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.
