Women, more consciously than men, preserve themselves, perhaps because they are unable to create and transform the world, so they choose to return to themselves. Also, they need to go inward and dig themselves into the depths, just like digging a long tunnel. The deeper they go, the more attracted they are. While they are afraid of the darkness and dampness inside, they are even more reckless. Perseverance. Women are a group of people buried by themselves. They realize the true meaning of life by overdrafting themselves, but at the same time, some of them choose to give up it, while others choose to stick to it.
"Know life, know what it is; face life, no matter what it is; and finally throw it away." This is Woolf's most classic quote in "The Moment". We do not discuss what is right and what is wrong in the choices women make about life. In fact, as the noumenon of life, we have enough rights to dictate and use it. In the film, Woolf, who fictionalized Mrs. Dalloway, chose to abandon it, while in New York 90 years later, a woman whose real name was Dalloway stuck to it. These two women are like two sides of a mirror, explaining women's choices in life.
The key is not life or death, but why we make such a choice. The three women in the film who are also related to "Mrs. Dalloway" live in different times and places, and they have different views on life. But the premise is that they all make choices after seeing themselves clearly, they go to the deepest part of their life, the darkest place, they curl up in their beautiful and profound soul world, and let this soul do it. make a final judgment.
One of the things that appeals to me about Moment is that it makes women abandon the noise of secular life and goes straight to the depths of their hearts. It decisively abandons the value of reality. What cannot be achieved with the film and television works rolling in the muddy ground of birth. Of course, the consequences of doing so may be criticized for the fact that artistic creation is not close to the lives of the people, but it has to be admitted that women's psychology is indeed claustrophobic to a certain extent, and it consciously distances itself from public life, even if it is only a In a small part, almost no woman will take the initiative to open her heart, and treat it like a museum for people who come and go, so their lives also have a tendency to self-isolation, because of self-isolation, they often fall into self-confidence. In the questioning and pursuit of value, in the process of repeatedly considering one's own soul, follow the guidance of life itself, and go on a lonely and irreversible path of quest.
It's just that all this is conscious behavior. No one forces women to do this. They just feel anxious and disgusted with their own lives. The anxiety and emptiness of fate torment them. Not only can their hearts fail to save them, but instead. Tell them firmly that this tormenting feeling comes from the inside of the body, from the physical and psychological instinct. But when women no longer choose to use religion to get their paralyzed peace, they can only face it more firmly.
"Only I, I, know best what I want, and it's my choice, as a person," Woolf said. She finally chose to die, Lola chose to be alone, and Clarissa chose to live. They deserve respect, because these are not out of escape, but their deepest identification with themselves.
I once wrote a review of the Israeli author Oz's novel "My Michael," titled "I Am a Woman." Even if a woman's identity is not something she can choose, women often recognize it subconsciously. It's not that they don't know that being a woman is a hard thing, and that they will encounter many, many pains, both physically and mentally, but they recognize this identity without hesitation. What does this mean? It shows that in essence, women are both narcissists and masochists.
