I think everyone watching this movie sees something different because of where they stand. Just like me, in the first paragraph, I deeply felt a kind of anxiety, not knowing whether I would fall into such a predicament when I got old, and had to work odd jobs and live in a mobile home to survive. But after reading it, I feel that this film is not actually trying to discuss this kind of survival dilemma.
I think it is more about reflecting on industrialization and modernization, reflecting on the survival of individuals in the commercial society, reflecting on the relationship between man and nature, and between man and man.
I like the very restrained emotional expression of the film, without focusing on accusing anything, but leaving more space for some warm and beautiful clips. Because of these beauty, people will take the initiative to reflect on the other side of it.
How many characters in the film are real people? I love that they care about the earth and the environment even though they don't live a very rich life. Fed up with the so-called "for life" in too many people.
Swankie is in Alaska watching the bird's nest and Fern is working in the potato factory. The scene is very impressive and the contrast is strong.
Another feeling is that it is really true, you must have your own hobbies. The people, weaving, and musical instruments in the film are all things that light up life.
I like the soundtrack very much. Although the piano and violin in the main melody started to feel a little melancholy, the melody flowed and became more and more brisk, like a sunrise.
I want to say that the script is well written, especially some of the lines are outstanding. It was also an adaptation of the original. Have the opportunity to read the book.
