This is a film with a bland narrative, so bland that it is almost narrated according to real life, the rhythm is slow, and the camera cuts are equally slow. Then there's the consistent cool tones, from the background colors to the somber heroines and anxious supporting actresses. The title of the film made viewers suddenly enlightened at the 60th minute when the doctor asked the heroine Autumn with a questionnaire. The close-up of the girl's expression when facing the doctor's many questions is rich and complex, and the advancing close-up has no color but seems to capture her delicate expression with a metaphor, as if to ask a question to the viewer, as a young adult, But for a woman who has not yet stepped out of adolescence, does she have the right to regret the cost of her growth? This is a reflection on individual freedom, or further, the choice between female individual independence and bioethics.
I don't want to describe it as a word such as "forbidden fruit", because this word itself carries a long-standing prejudice against women in history, but women in modern society are still objectively unable to get rid of this prejudgment because of their biology. . Behind the girl's silence is her struggle with the social concepts she is familiar with. For example, the male classmates who called her a "slut" at school, for example, her parents who were indifferent to her, and another example, the store manager who touched her in the supermarket. We saw her resistance in her determination to pierce her ears with a paper clip, but in exchange for the return journey, she acquiesced in allowing her cousin to be kissed passionately by the young boy she met in the car, which was also her helplessness in the face of reality.
Even in the United States today, women in many states still do not have the right to choose their own abortion rights, and they have to travel to other legal states for abortion. This is a contradictory topic. On the one hand, the right to life is paramount, and the life she gave birth to also enjoys the right to life; The body is my master”, and the children born will also have to face broken family relationships.
In 2018, the Catholic conservative country Ireland passed a referendum to overturn the abortion ban, allowing women before the 12th week of pregnancy to have the right to have an abortion with a doctor’s certificate, giving women an additional right to choose, although it is based on How to draw a time line.
However, this is a problem that is difficult to have the best of both worlds, just like the silent Autumn staring at the glass on the return bus in a daze, and the world she faces outside the window is still the same.
