Recently, the issue of feminism has been put on the table again. This movie can let you know roughly,

What are women fighting for!

What are they trying to ask for!

All relationships are like "resonance". Every solid has its own frequency of vibration. If the frequency of the outside world matches its own frequency, resonance will occur. Sometimes this resonance is so strong that the entire bridge can collapse.

The heroine gained the love of her child during her pregnancy, but also her world collapsed after the loss of her beloved daughter. She suppressed the pain and healed herself. She healed the scars caused by resonance and planted the fragrance that belongs to the beloved daughter. Apple seeds, waiting to germinate and regenerate, finally put down and reconcile with themselves.

And the male protagonist's lack of empathy, escape, and selfishness in this relationship followed waves of hopeless feelings. In the end, he chose to escape, escape the original promise, and erase the fact of existence.

Since the 19th century, feminism has been an expanding reform movement. She is a controversial issue, but in the 21st century, what I see is the regression of civilization!

    The title of the movie makes it easy to think that it is a story of female indictment, but it is not. She has a strong and radiant image. The film opens with a short male protagonist, followed by a long and wonderful childbirth scene, setting a benchmark angle: Can others really empathize with a woman's state of mind? Then the story depicts two pairs of novel-style relationships: 1. The husband naturally cannot experience the pain of childbirth, but he collapses very much, echoing the opening paragraph. For him, this collapse may come from the face of his colleagues, otherwise why would he not go to work? What; 2. The strong mother has loved face all her life and is facing senile amnesia, and she can still show her experience at birth in detail. The audience understands that no one really thinks from the point of view of the heroine, she must move towards self-rescue. This may be a perspective that only European intellectuals have, and that directors with vested interests in Hollywood do not have. It gives the American story played by this American actor a brilliance and warmth that is different from the American narrative. Hollywood needs more of these perspective rescues.

    Childbirth itself is the wound The baby bursts into the world, tearing the mother's body, while the child's young skull is kept soft and fragile The child is the place to heal, and the split is the place to be lost and found

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.
