where is the sun

Life is ours and not ours, we can't control it, let it bloom, and often we have to fall into all kinds of predicaments. The dilemma of the protagonist Rose is: as a single mother, she works like a servant to clean people's rooms, her income is meager, she has no family lover to be someone else's lover, her young son does not meet the requirements of mainstream education, she is expelled from school, her sister Lola is unemployed again. Life is a mess.

The film develops in the direction of inspirational films, and Rose keeps cheering herself up when she is bathing, sleeping, and crying. Although it is ideal to sing that man will conquer the sky, but hope is the pillar on which man can resist the hard life. Wang Xiaobo wrote that most of the people who chose to commit suicide during the Cultural Revolution felt that they would not live in a hopeful era. We need hope. The screenwriter put Rose's sunshine, hope, and Rose's life turn into a special cleaning industry----death scene cleaning. The reality is far from being so easy and simple. Otherwise, many people in life will be vying to engage in this industry.

People are afraid of death, it means sadness, crying, blood, decay, coldness, disillusionment, forgetting... People are also afraid and avoid industries and objects related to death. When I was considering buying a house in 2003, Jinfengbao was removed from the buying list because it was next to the old Donghua Hospital and reminded me of a mortuary. In the film, there is no Rose's struggle to enter the industry, and the scorn she suffered. Although some colleagues said that there are newcomers grabbing business, she did not encounter obstacles in this regard. It's a bit thin here. The psychological experience brought to Rose by working in this industry is also a little weak. She is elated because she earned a high service fee. When Lola felt uncomfortable for the old woman who died alone and wanted to inform her relatives, Rose thought this None of their business, let Lola throw away the old woman's relic. Most of the people who watched this film would think of "Entering the Undertaker", and "Entering" is more delicate and rich in these two points. In "The Dogs of Babel" I watched not long ago, the heroine masker is engaged in the work of making masks for the dead. Although the author does not use much brush and ink, it also shows the particularity of the work and the characters well. experience.

The screenwriter is undoubtedly smart. The one-hour film covers too many scenes and successfully created several characters with distinct personalities. In addition to the aforementioned industries that are prone to dramatic tension, the Rose sisters' childhood mother's suicide, extramarital affairs, Rose's tears of humiliation, curious and exploratory children, unrealistic and energetic fathers who constantly challenge and try, psychologically with Lola of the hollow wound.
A very powerful part: Lola took the old woman's daughter to lie on the railroad tracks. When the train whizzed past Lola's head, she laughed and wept, whether this strong stimulation could cover up the hidden pain in her heart--She was a young girl The horror and pain of a child who lost a mother, and the longing for her mother. When the sisters talk in the bathroom about how they felt about their mother's funeral, and the chance to see her again on TV, will that help Lola feel less hurt and reconcile with herself? I thought not, the pain may be like a shadow forever, the screenwriter let her drive to the unknown future.

When Winston, who was missing an arm, appeared, he looked at Rose with his eyes, and Rose's smile in response made me a screenwriter-----In the end, he gave her love, protection, family, and in his heart Despise yourself as a screenwriter, don't be so cliché. Fortunately, the screenwriter didn't arrange such a vulgar ending, but letting Rose leave her lover who didn't love her contained infinite possibilities.

The last conflict in the film is that Lola accidentally burns down the client's house, and makes Rose fall into despair again, but the solution to the predicament is too easy and quick. My father bought the house, and all the problems were solved within a minute. Free Rose from the tragic cloud, and quickly bring the film to the end. Well, it's time to use the last sentence of fairy tales: From then on XXXX lived a happy life. In fact, life is always full of unknowns, all we should have is not to give up and let life be full of sunshine and hope.
