The most powerful movie I've seen this year. Rights, maternal love, forbearance, and relief are well represented by this movie.

"Women's Fragments"

"Women's Fragments" is a drama film directed by Hungarian director Kenel Mudluzzo, starring Vanessa Kirby and Shia LaBeouf. How should I say it? "Women's Fragments" I think it belongs to a perfect movie. Whether it is the director's audio-visual language and shooting techniques, or the actors' acting skills, it can be said to be full marks. Although the script is not particularly solid, we can The transmission of the inner drama of the characters depends on being able to get the charm beyond the scope of the script.

"Women's Fragments" is an author-type film. We can feel what the director expressed in the whole film. Although it is very personal, the director made it very well. He has conveyed what he thought in his heart to the audience through the lens. In front of me, "Women's Pieces" reminds me of many movies labelled "feminist" these days, but I have to say that "Women's Pieces" is definitely the best in this kind of movies, it doesn't emphasize the word feminism, It's just a subtle wave of the rise of feminist consciousness.

"Women's Pieces" reminds us of "Manchester by the Sea", which we love very much. Although Manchester is still more moving in my personal heart, this "Women's Pieces" is also My heart flutters a bit.

(Excellent audio-visual language is such an experience)

What is the best experience with audiovisual language? To put it simply, the director of a play can use his shooting skills to capture any audience into the movie. This is an excellent audio-visual language. Yes, people who have seen the movie should know which scene I am talking about. Then I'll start this review with this scene.

The rhythm and plot of the whole movie are very smooth. At the beginning of the movie, what the audience sees is a happy couple and a child who is about to be born. When the movie comes to the heroine's amniotic fluid, the audience has been quietly grasped by the director of the movie. In the story, the childbirth scene in the first 20 minutes of the movie is also a link for the whole movie. In the whole movie, we made the whole scene reach the climax through the director's lens language and the performances of the male and female protagonists and the doctor. The play also allowed us to enter the role, and achieved the best understanding of the psychological journey of the characters after the play, and then the director let us experience the pain of childbirth. We have to admire Vanessa Kirby's acting skills here. She made me feel that she was really a pregnant woman or that I was the pregnant woman, and I also experienced the pain of my mother's childbirth once. I have to say that the impact of this scene is the biggest I have watched in recent years. A visual impact, because the intensity of this scene has reached a spiritual height.

Although Vanessa Kirby's acting is great in this scene, we can't ignore the performances of Shia LaBeouf and Molly Parker, who plays the midwifery doctor. First of all, Shia LaBeouf Boff performed the man's helplessness during this time period, those nervous movements and panicked lines, and also his helpless eyes when the heroine was giving birth. It can be said that he performed this scene very well. Then Molly Parker's performance can drag the audience's emotions. First of all, her role is to replace another doctor. Her conversation shows her professionalism, and then there are several performances of her asking and listening to her heartbeat. , highlighting the unexpected and dangerous prelude to the play.

So the success of this play, in addition to the director, is the performance of the three actors.

(attribution of rights)

The whole movie broke the woman at the beginning, and then through the progress of the story, the pieces were pieced together. After the death of the child, we also gradually felt the right and the position. This accident is the biggest injury to this big family. The pain is the mother Martha, she has been resisting the lawsuit against the doctor because she feels that her daughter is not a tool for revenge, compensation, and rights, and she is not willing to accept the wounds to be opened again, and as her husband and mother, they feel that they are There should be due compensation and revenge on the doctor, but the movie has already told us that the accident was caused by the doctor alone. The heroine and the hero agreed to produce at home and have been taking certain risks. , so it should all be a chain reaction.

I think Martha's revolt against the right should have been squeezed since she was a child, and the death of her daughter is also the fuse of the whole story. From the plot of the later story, we also feel the mother's desire for control, including giving Sean a love. The money told him to leave his daughter, so she has the most initiative in everything, but because of the death of Martha's daughter, Martha was also ignited, she is not backing down, because this time it is not only about herself, more Or the deceased daughter.

In the courtroom scene, Masha's remarks about her daughter's apple flavor also directly became a major tear in the whole film. It turned out that Masha, who always seemed to be erratic, was actually thinking of her daughter in her own way, and she was relieved to the doctor. It can also better illustrate the maturity of motherhood. The bridge that often appears in the movie was finally completed with the passage of time, but unfortunately, Martha and Sean were unable to take their daughter on the bridge. Sprinkling seawater on the ashes bridge also shows that she has fulfilled her promise today in another way. Unfortunately, only Martha is standing on the bridge now.

The sprouting of the apple core at the end also represents the "rebirth" and the beginning of everything, but at the end, when Martha talks to her daughter about what to eat for dinner, it seems to reincarnate the original starting point of rights, the rights of mothers and children. It seems that there is still no way to change it, perhaps heredity, or the foundation.

"Women's Fragments" is a well-crafted work of art. There are not too many lines and conflicting plots in the film. Many of them are imagery expressions. The director pulls the audience into the story through the lens, so when watching the film For about 30 minutes, as long as the audience who watched the movie seriously has been immersed in it, the movie not only discusses the core of the story, but also discusses the rise of the sense of rights. "Women's Fragments" is a movie with great stamina, and many people may think of the greatest mother in the family after watching this movie.

    The way the film conveys emotions and characters is subtle, carefully crafted, but trying to hide it in some inconspicuous details: the mother's desire for control, the whole facial muscles are the midwives of the play, not to mention the teenage girls. A female lead who holds up a character part of the time with just her eyes and gait. The narration of the film does not appeal to the plot context, but very cleverly borrows a pre-climax paragraph to connect a complete and full of emotions. It's about Martha's personal experience. It doesn't have a particularly universal meaning, but it's so precious because everyone is different. To a certain extent, the experience of the absolute individual can truly reach the heart. - Tiff Bell Digital Cinema (9/16/2020)

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.
