Not more than creativity, but more beautiful than life

Good movie, simple conclusion - a movie worth watching twice.
——The first time I watched it, I was surprised and sighed, and when I recalled this film, I suddenly realized that life is so beautiful...

This film has an ingenious structure that is surprising and surprising. Through a school shooting, it describes a The whole life and life of an American teenage girl.
The film takes you to feel everything about her, feel her longing and memories, friends, hopes, rebellion, pain, understanding, repentance and even -
her touch: the comfort of water and skin contact (in fact, it may include part of her sexual experience) , her vision: a visual feast of flowers in front of her, her own pain and blood (should have come from apparently "personal" feelings), and even -
her apprehension and fear of impending death (still water - water, rain, tears in the bathroom)...

At that moment - she stopped sobbing slightly, got out of the water, and used "the strongest muscle in her body" to summon her courage, breathing deeply, with a sense of sympathy for life. Deeply nostalgic and sad and helpless... Welcome to that moment.

Writing here, I want to say, this film is not very good, but excellent!

Of course, the film's ingenious structural ideas are clearly derived from the masterpieces of the pioneers such as "stay", "Donnie Darko" and "Mulholland Drive". However, in this film, I saw a young girl alive and felt her yearning, her love, her pain, her regret and her fear.

It seems that describing death is still a good way to interpret life.

Given the picture, the script, and the excellent performances of the 2 lead actresses; I have to list it as one of the best movies I've seen this year (and of course, the love of the big beauty Evan Rachel Wood is also a reason) .



PS:
For the interpretation of the story of the structure, the strongman on the Internet has already analyzed it very well; the only thing I want to be wordy about is my feeling, mainly to recall the feeling of this movie - pure feeling... Really good works of art are made of Pure feeling - to feel.

I haven't watched the 2nd time yet because I really don't have time, but I will!
Super good movie, but there are too many things to do tomorrow, if you have time another day, please add a little comment.

The Life Before Her Eyes quotes

  • Mr. McClood: And if there's anything I want you guys to take with you from this class, as you're abusing your bodies over break, is three things: the heart is the body's strongest muscle, that the brain has more cells in it than our galaxy has stars, and that the body is 72% water. So wherever you go over vacation, don't get too dehydrated.

  • Maureen: How did you do on that test?

    Young Diana: I did ok, I got the one about the heart...

    Young Diana: I don't really think that's true though, Maureen - -about it being the strongest muscle...

    Young Diana: [crying] I don't think in my case it is at all.
