who is to live

Our world has undergone countless changes and shatters for the stumbled human civilization.

Before contacting it, I continued to suffer from insomnia for a month, and then in the last week, I stayed up for a week because of the exam. Over-reliance on coffee and refreshing drinks, I know that my body has long been overloaded, but there is no feeling of loss.

The night after the exam, I watched "4 luni, 3 saptamini si 2 zile".
Otilia is really strong, but also fragile.

Did you lie too?
Gabita didn't have time to explain, and Otilia didn't have time to forgive. On the road that can only continue, if you choose to continue, you choose to endure the humiliation.
The back of Otilia squatting in the bathtub, trying to flush it out, what is it?
She took a deep breath, and the little tears in her eyes seemed to be the product of the oppression of the cold air in winter.

The lens is always shaking slightly, and it seems that this is the first time I see a movie that gives up the tripod. Trembling sometimes, the real people are overwhelmed.

For the first time, Otilia, who was talking to her boyfriend, felt that she was relying on others. For a moment, she was helpless and vulnerable, but soon became strong again.
Indifference is used to punish yourself who easily pays expectations.

The four-month-old fetus, who died without its mother, was wrapped in a white bath towel on the toilet floor. Otilia stared at him.
Should it be said that he is every one of us?
She stretched out her hand slowly, her fingertips touching his tiny body. This time, she couldn't be stronger. She was alone with him in silence, as if to see him into her heart.

tossing.
He was put in her backpack, and the voiceover was constant, but not loud. The road under my feet will never end; the excess beside me will never disappear. Since he appeared, she has been tossing and turning, this time, the last time, he accompanies her.
Otilia, who was in a hurry, looked like she was protecting something. In the dark, she found a place and put him in.

Gabita is cowardly and selfish throughout and it's kind of annoying, but no one understands her pain, including Otilia.
In the end, Otilia looked at her eyes, but she still didn't understand.
What is the sudden black screen trying to leave us with?

After a long period of physical exhaustion, because of this movie, I no longer insist that I have not lost, because I feel so strongly, lost.

Turning off the computer, at three o'clock in the morning, why did I keep asking:
"Who is it, let me live. 』

    In a time and space of day and night, condensing the fate of women who are besieged. In the play, many conflicts are cleverly designed through situations and dialogues. The fluency and narrative capacity of the long takes amazes me, but the point is that it’s not for show, but for the audience to fully immerse in the protagonist and feel her pain and anxiety. The tone is particularly cold and hard. It does not place the characters in a desperate predicament, but is always under a structural oppression that makes people breathless. This feeling of suffocation reached its peak in the mirror given to the child, and was then exacerbated by the thick night. The heavy problem was finally suspended in the void, and there was no way to find a solution.

    What he gives you is like "You are drinking a glass of boiled water. Suddenly your hands shake while drinking, and the water is spilled all over the floor."
