On the Infectious Power of Adverb Sets

Another movie I've seen recently that focuses on women.

The theory of family of origin has been rampant in recent years, and this film is another example of true cruelty. Compared with "Juno" with the same theme, the autumn in this film obviously does not have a harmonious and warm family environment as its strong spiritual backing. Therefore, although the two films bear the same fruit, the taste of the two fruits can only be tasted and told by the parties themselves.

Although we all hope that all girls will be as active and brave as "Juno" in the face of unmarried unplanned pregnancy, and finally bring us a happy ending. But reason tells me that "Juno" can only exist on that thin screen, and "Never Rare Sometimes Always" is what our world is most of the time.

"Never" is not a film that can be easily enjoyed. The heavy feeling from life is a bit depressing from the opening stage performance. Focusing on the story of a 17-year-old girl who had an abortion in the company of her cousin, the director has always told people the background of the characters, the origin and development of the events under this heavy burden.

In the film's not compact rhythm, I always patiently waited for the moment when the plot echoed the film's title, but when I was about to forget that this literary and artistic title still had a sense of existence, he was brought out as naturally as breathing, But to the unsuspecting audience's chest, came the heaviest blow.

The gentle voice conveys the cruelest message; the insistent silence shows the powerless escape.

At this moment, the candid footage like a documentary and the faces of the "parties" in the footage magnify the spiritual suffering of women in the relationship between the sexes and the physical pain in the process of childbirth to a dimension that transcends space. The grief that the heroine has endured all alone has finally poured out like a flood peak like a dyke burst.

The documentary "Shame of Japan" mentioned that the rape charge rate in Japan is only 10 per million people, while the UK is 50 times the charge rate in Japan. But even the latter is a measly 0.05%. It is not difficult to speculate that this figure in the world is still the result of a person being stunned.

The darkness of this world is that a group of kind people, together with another group of people who are good at taking advantage of kindness, build a system full of deception and plunder. It is the silence of victims like the heroine that further fuels the arrogance and carelessness of the perpetrator, so that the perpetrator no longer pays any price for making mistakes, and makes this sinful symbiotic cancer stronger and stronger.

Of course, while reflecting on the silence of the victim, it is difficult for us to criticize this side too much. After all, the original sin of this tragic world is undoubtedly on the other side of this symbiotic relationship.

The blank space in this film is huge and extremely restrained. Such characteristics, while determining that they will become a niche in the market, on the contrary also means that the authorship of the film can be largely preserved. Although this makes the film a little protracted, on the other hand, it also gives the audience more space for interpretation and enjoyment of aftertaste. Although we do not see intuitive pain and joy, collapse and achievement, torture and pleasure, tears and laughter in these films, it is like drinking plain water for an hour and a half, but we often experience such a restrained calmness after , to appreciate the depth of emotion, the impermanence of life and the eternity of time. Perhaps in such a period of time, I will realize the indescribable reason why people are human.

    4.5 Really ended the movie like that, without any preaching or reconciliation, etc. Just like the lives of many people, it passed without realizing it, and the standard movie language was omitted directly, creating a very natural state. The perfect spot on the middle side makes me want to cry. The two heroines are also very good, the scene is also super cute, and a little shy. PS Neither "Lady Bird" nor this film, there is no need to compare, and there is no need to judge which is more real, both movies based on life are real.

    Naked physical violence inflicted on women. After observing that the heroine was detected to be pregnant, she burned a red paperclip and pierced her nose, as if to embolden her helpless self-trying to challenge her body norms and become a bad girl. But in the face of wiping oil at the checkout, he could only swallow his anger, and actually had no way of resisting; knowing that he was pregnant, no matter whether the abortion was successful or not, the violence would only be used against himself in the end (abdominal bruises and abortion). To help them resist violence, we must not rely solely on the psychological scale option in the title of the movie, or the sisterhood formed, so why are some people accusing the movie of vilifying men?
