I'm not talking about Ann and Haris. I would say Nina and Luc.
Luc said to Nina, you are the love of my life. I don't know why, you are a mess, but I still love you.
Nina is touched, I love you too, but I need more time. She said to Luc very seriously, you have to be mentally prepared. I was so uncertain, confused, confused. If you keep waiting for me to transform into the woman you want, you may have to wait a long, long time.
Luc said to Nina that he wanted a child. Nina said she wasn't ready yet. What if I don't want it now, but never want it?
In front of her mother's sick bed, Nina said with a hint of worry, a hint of panic, a hint of helplessness, and a bit of joy on her face, saying, I'm pregnant, but I don't know what to do. I was afraid that having this baby would make me regret it for the rest of my life, and I was also afraid that taking it off would make me regret it too much.
The elder sister who owns the garden house, husband and children accuses the indeterminate younger sister of being unfulfilled.
If you go on being the bad girl, if you insist on screwing up everything and everyone that comes in your way, there's a very well chance you will end up alone.
Nina burst into tears, but I'm also afraid of dying alone.
Another character in the film that moved me was the fucked-up Buddy, who kept an ordinary note that Ann handed to him in his third-year philosophy class in his pocket for four years.
You are not hero. You are pathetic. Have some guts. Go live your own life. Write the first line, and then the second one. Kiss a man if you want, horrify your parents. Be a man. Just leave me out of it. Don't carry around some stupid note I wrote you years ago. You are not interested in me, you just have this idea of me. Have the nerves to admit it, and just leave me alone. A clear slap and After a scolding, he just muttered to himself, I got the note all wet. Then with tears in his eyes, he watched the beloved girl leave, and chased after her obsessively, "Ann there's one more thing, one more thing I want to say..." But fatefully crashed into an oncoming car, and was dying with the wet and crumpled note in his hand. At this time, the woman he loves is hiding out in the jungle cabin, spending the night with his lover.
I have to admit I have a crush on Hugh Dancy, even though his characters are always cowardly and neurotic. I also admit to disliking Clair Danes at all, even though she's a Golden Globe winner. I don't like the role of Ann because the actor doesn't please me. I feel that she always has big eyes, exaggerated and weird expressions, big face, big mouth, big eyes, big nose, big eyebrows, and rough facial features. I might be fussy, but it's not my fault for not liking her. The lineup of this film is strong, with the addition of two pairs of female actresses. Meryl Streep and daughter Mamie Gummer play Lila in her old and young years, respectively. Vanessa Redgrave plays elderly Ann and her daughter plays her eldest daughter Connie. In fact, I think Toni Collette, who plays the younger daughter Nina, looks more like her, so I thought Nina was her daughter at first.
In addition to love, mother-daughter love, sisterhood, and the touching friendship between two close friends, Ann is on the eve of Lila's wedding. When Lila is dying of illness, she embraces her and pats her on the back. humming "There there, la la la..." a friend is to give her the hug and comfort she needs when the other person is sad.
The three old ladies' insights into life are also quite thought-provoking.
Because of Buddy's death, Harris finally married neither his favorite Ann nor his favorite Lila, but named his son Buddy. Even if they meet on the street many years later, he said I still know which stars are ours, but people who love each other can't be together after all. There are so many regrets in this world.
Ann asked Lila, Don't you think at least one of us should have married Harris?
I think we did what we needed to do.
Yeah, I suppose we did.
Ann asked Lila again, Have you been happy?
At times. At times I've been very unhappy.
When Nina asked the old Lila how holy Haris was, this little girl who had been infatuated with Haris back then was transformed into a wise woman. She said flatly, Harris was just a boy, an unually attractive one I'd admit, but your mother had a whole life, she had you. We can't know everything she did, but I can assure you, it was a great deal.
We are mysterious creatures, aren't we? And at the end, so much of it turns out not to matter.
What happened to him? Nina asked curiously.
He worked with the poor, got married, had children, became an old man. What a simple and plain sentence that sums up Harris' life.
Who isn't actually like that? No matter how vigorous the love, no matter how rich and enthusiastic it is, no matter how tortuous and bizarre plots, no matter how ups and downs of life, isn’t birth, old age, sickness and death according to the laws of nature?
Before dying, Ann said to her daughter Nina, can you do something for me?
anything.
Can you try to be happy?
It's kind of hard, Mom.
If you don't have to be so afraid all the time...because, there is no such thing as wrong in the world. When you're nervous, just sing.
The scene goes back to when Ann is overwhelmed with preparing dinner, Connie has been pestering her to dress Barbie, and at this time her husband is also shoving the little daughter into her hands because it disturbs his work. Ann held back the tears that overflowed her eyes and began to sing.
I see the moon and the moon sees me and the moon sees somebody I'd want to see
God bless the moon and God bless me and God bless the somebody I want to see...
Nina tells Luc that she is pregnant , Luc danced happily.
To be honest I was stunned. Sometimes I get tired, get angry, and make a mess of my life.
Luc said, I will be by your side.
Nina asks, you will, right? Even if I get lost, weird or even incomprehensible?
Luc: Yes, I do my best.
Nina: Me too.
This film touched me so much because it resonated so much with me, because many words were completely my heart. Like Nina, I am still confused and at a loss for the future. I don't know when I will figure it out, and whether there will be a day when I will fully understand. The film is a happy and happy ending. The dead are gone, and the living continue to move forward in the hope of welcoming the new life. Nina seems to have figured it out, it doesn't mean she won't be confused in the future, but Luc will be by her side at such a moment, and they will overcome the difficulties on the road together. I hope that one day I will realize it too, and we can also usher in a happy ending...
