The film review has been published on the public account: Midsummer Tavern (warm-wine)
Do what you think is right｜Midsummer Tavern
The proprietress does not drink, but there are many stories to drink.
This is not a film that interprets a mother-daughter relationship in the traditional sense.
But still the sentence:
"Your relationship with your mother determines your relationship with the world."
The protagonist, Martha, who lives in a small apartment with her boyfriend, is full-term pregnant and decides to ask a midwife to help her deliver the baby at home.
Unfortunately, the child died of suffocation within a few minutes of birth due to stunted growth.
The young couple fell into great grief and confusion. Martha's mother came forward and wanted to sue the midwife, vowing to put her in jail.
Because her mother has long suggested: stay in the hospital and give birth safely.
And Martha didn't listen, sticking to her own.
Now that the child is gone, her mother can only come forward and stand in front of her daughter and say:
You didn't listen to my original advice, and now we have to make her (the midwife) pay the price.
"That's the right thing to do."
What interests me is this sentence:
"That's the right thing."
Right thing.
In this life, someone must be patiently repeating this sentence in your ear:
"You have to do the right thing."
This person, most likely, is your mother.
Martha's mother wasn't your typical "strong" mother, but she was "difficult."
She is a rich old lady, and she despises Martha's boyfriend who has no culture and no money and is a contractor who is building a bridge.
Before the birth of the child, she bought a new car for Masha, who was expecting to give birth, at the car dealership of her younger daughter's boyfriend. When signing the contract, everyone said clearly:
"I paid the money, and he (the younger daughter's boyfriend) just took the commission."
Martha's rebelliousness should be based on the wealthy original family conditions and proud mother,
Shape her into a maverick new age woman.
But the blow of losing her beloved daughter also left her at a loss.
When she is not ready, how to face life again——
Her mom had picked herself up and stepped in to start solving her problems.
At a house party, a heated argument broke out between Martha and her mother over "whether to appear in court to accuse the midwife of dereliction of duty".
Martha's mother asked her to "face the problem" and "fight for the result", but Martha broke it out in one sentence:
"No. It's what you need, what you want, how you handle it, not what I think.
Actually, you are ashamed, you are ashamed of me.
You think I'm a failure, I've lost your face. "
She yelled at her mother uncontrollably, and her mother also burst into tears and told her story.
Back then, her mother (grandmother Martha) did not bravely fight for the protection and rights of her daughter like she is now.
Another, very "strong" mother.
You see, all strong mothers seem to have a child who is "not so good" (at least not as strong as her).
Is this life?
It's education! Friends, believe in science and dismantle superstitions.
I have to declare here:
"Strength" is never a talent, it must be a character that people cultivate after experiencing setbacks.
But suffering, how can people sing praise or be grateful?
Suffering is like God, it is uncontrollable rain and snow, let you curse or pray,
"Misery" is "suffering" itself!
But you instill this quality in your children in the wrong way—
The mother became a misery.
But I admit that almost every mother in the world thinks it's for the "good" of their children.
Why the starting point is "love",
In the end, it turned into "harm" to each other?
So what is the right way?
Mom is also the first time to be a "mother",
The "love" she has received throughout her life is like this.
In the above-mentioned films, the mother-daughter confrontation, whether winning or losing, no one is spared.
Some are "wholesome wicked people";
Interestingly, in that unhappy party, only Martha's boyfriend and her mother were left to chat.
Her mother asked Martha's boyfriend:
"What do you want? What do you want to do?"
She listened to the man's heart patiently, and then gave a check.
Let him leave his daughter and never come back.
There was a moment when I thought her mother was finally a "good" mother...
Sure enough, still "that" good mother.
The ending of this film, I quite like it, at least in line with my own values.
Martha stood in court, and in front of her mother and everyone, told the judge the truth of that night, and thought:
The midwives did not neglect their duties during the delivery process, and her daughter's death had nothing to do with her.
she says:
"If I stand here and demand compensation or compensation, that means:
What I've lost can be made up or measured - but it's not.
The brief moment when my daughter came into this world was not for me to bring pain to others.
This was not her intention. "
Everyone should be in charge of their own life.
Only you know what is really "good" for yourself .
If you can't know it, at least you have to understand it yourself.
