The character setting of Auntie is really layered.
She should have been an optimistic and kind person, and she also had the desire to talk, especially after her husband treated her badly, she would have more desire to talk. The heroine asked everyone what they wanted to do when they got rich, and she said frantically, but her husband didn't want to look at her, and she continued to say, until another younger brother complained, "How come four people have three more mouths?" Just scold her. So she had no choice but to walk to the corner alone, listening to the three greedy siblings discussing.
Because everyone in the sister and brother's family treats her badly, but the daughter of the heroine is a kind-hearted person. She cares about her aunt and treats her as a human being, so when the aunt knew that they were going to marry her to their son, She persuaded the youngest daughter that although this man is my son (but I know what a scumbag he is, like his father), they will force you, and you must never marry him (otherwise you will be unfortunate). The little girl didn't know what was going on at the time.
Then it was her husband who looked at her horribly, after all she had spoken out about their plans and slapped her. At this time, the heroine's daughter rushed out and asked her aunt what was wrong. Only these few people cared about her. She said it was okay and fell down herself. Holding your face and crying. It can be used as a comparison here. Oscar asked his son to take his mother home in the middle of the night. His son stepped on his mother's skirt. in spite of. Because Oscar doesn't treat his wife as a person at all, so his son naturally disrespects his mother. There is a scene where this son imitates his fathers and smokes cigars, which means that this person will eventually become like his father.
As an outsider, the hostess and her brother wanted to discuss business with their husband when they saw that their husband was about to die, while the aunt saw that the hostess was caring for relatives and friends, and the hostess saw them quarreling, and said that it was still the same as before. The three brothers and sisters are selfish. Although the aunt is a good person, she has no right to speak.
Aunt has no status at home, only the good people in the film will take care of her, so in the film, it is rare for five good people to sit in the yard and bask in the sun, chatting, and speaking from the heart, aunt, husband of the heroine, daughter of the heroine, daughter Boyfriend, and black babysitter. At this time, we can see that the miserable aunt is helpless and pitiful. She recalled her mother, saying that attending the dance at that time was actually love at first sight for Oscar, but her mother despised the heroine's family very much, because they used loan sharks to oppress the poor and hated black people (the black slaves in the family were listening at the side) ), Aunt's mother is a very assertive person, and Aunt's family must be not poor, must be rich, otherwise Oscar will definitely not marry this woman. So how did she marry the person she liked when her mother didn't even look down on the character of the other's family, and it wasn't because of her love that she lost her head. Just a love mind. She said these words as if she was happily reminiscing about the past, but it should be very bitter. After all, she was either ignored or beaten by her husband after marriage. She really likes to be kind, and her previous living environment was also very happy, but life after marriage also pushed her to a desperate situation. Her smile was full of bitterness, and she directly said that she didn't like her son. "That was the first time I saw Oscar, and no one expected..." "He was very kind to me at that time, and he would still smile at me"
"Why did you marry him?"
"Because the cotton fields in our hometown are better, everyone knows he wants our property, but I don't know, I'm so stupid, so stupid (the helpless ending is always self-blame)!"
Then she said that she never had a headache, but her husband's family said that she had a problem, and it was a bit of a gaslight. It was obvious that you had no problem. Everyone said that you were sick, and they kept saying that one day you might be really sick. She would hide at home and drink heavily, and was worried that the only person who loved her would not love her if she knew about her pain relief. But my aunt was still very brave at this time. She said to the heroine's daughter, don't be like me, in another 20 years, they will force you to be like me. The help of her boyfriend and aunt is also the reason why she helped the little girl finally escape from her mother's control. She had never dared to resist her mother before.
This sentence is even more powerful. If you don't resist, your fate will be more miserable than mine. What kind of person is my mother, what kind of person is your mother? My mother was also a good person, caring about the poor and the weak, and even sympathized with black people during the history of slavery in America, and what kind of person is your mother. Your mother is the devil. If you marry my son and live under your mother's control, you will be worse than me in the future. (You said that if Oscar heard about this thing, it would probably hit the ground)
She said, "You don't have a good mother like me, you can still recall (after all, my family environment is still very happy, I just married the wrong person later)."
Eason Chan has a lyric: You don't know how happy it will be to marry me. Hahahaha~ It's rare to see people who have the confidence to say such things~
So how tragic after marriage, maybe after being used almost by her husband, she will no longer treat her well, and her son is also a scumbag. The person who still listened to her, the heroine's husband, was forced to death by the cruel siblings, the heroine's daughter, she couldn't stand it anymore, and there was no way to resist, so she had to run away with her lover, and the maid had no power, so after this There is probably no one at home who can make her happier. In such a life, perhaps at that dance, when she heard her mother say that the family's character was not good, she gave up that love at first sight. Maybe one day the character aunt will go crazy. After all, she couldn't escape from here like a young man.
In addition, the male host is a very respected person, and many people greet him when he walks on the street. He is a sentimental person, so he is not the same as his wife's family. Maybe the heroine used her skills to capture this man, but the hero also said that the previous marriage life was hell. The things that the host kept in the safe were not only money, but also poems written by his mother and fragments of the violin. It can be seen that the host should be a very affectionate person. He is a good person just like his aunt, but they are all mercenary. The brothers and sisters were taken, and when they were of no value, or not as they wished, they let people like the master and aunt go out or die. At such times, they may regret it, how did I fall in love with them in the first place? Is it a sweet talk attack?
The "city" of this movie is really worth watching.
If "Street Corner Shop" is a relatively simple love life film, then this film is a more complicated and profound human relationship, without the suffering of "The Grapes of Wrath" (all the rich class) ), there is no irreversible tragedy caused by one's own character like "A Streetcar Named Desire", or even the sometimes sweet beauty in "Gone with the Wind", it is all wealth, but I am still so miserable, And I used to be very happy before, but for some reason, it was inevitable that I had to fight with the devil. Even if I fought with the devil for decades, I still have my own original intention and I don’t want to become the same as the devil. but if I have the chance to choose again, I should never fall in love with such a devil again.
I would also like to say that David, who likes the daughter of the heroine, is also very arrogant and courageous. The heroine is a wealthy class, and David can be said to be a working class. The heroine married her daughter to her aunt and son, so she would definitely prevent her from being with David. David taught his younger daughter how to resist the heroine before, and later directly told his "mother-in-law" that if I was determined to pursue her, I wouldn't care whether you objected or not. Awesome oh boy! If you have a will, it will happen!
In the film, they ask their aunt why she wants to marry Oske. Later, the host also asked the devil, why did you marry me in the first place? The heroine said, I was too lonely when I was young, and this loneliness is that I can't get anything I want. "I thought you would earn the whole world for me" (if you love me, you must love everything about me, including filth and despicableness, and you can catch all my emotions), and you who lied to you, you actually believed them all, You are really weak, so I look down on you. (No matter what you do, you will find a reason to hate you, unless you become the same person as yourself, because the heroine accepts the kind of person her brother is, and when her parents don't love her, she left all her property to Oscar Under these circumstances, she still only associates with these people and only uses other people as tools)
"Then why don't you leave me?"
"I don't have any other place to go." (After all, you are the best swindler.) The aunt and the host may feel that the most miserable place for them is to be used as a tool by the person they once loved.
This film is also a good textbook for interpreting sadism.
