A good movie is a good story

I rarely pay attention when watching movies, and I keep throwing questions to interrupt the thoughts of people around me. There is no longevity, and things that cannot be understood are quickly put on the shelf.

In this way, [Mirror] This movie should have missed me.

However, inexplicably, I was inexplicably enveloped in a faint emotion in this obscure film, and I almost watched the whole film with a kind of inquiry and desire.

In the end, I still couldn't identify the protagonist, and I didn't have the slightest grasp of the plot of the play. The deepest impression is still the moment in the movie where my mother, with her hair loose, walked skillfully to the simple bucket hanging in the small yard, scooped up the water and washed her face. Let you know that it's actually a naked life.

Or maybe it's the co-written music or even the slightly crying poetry in the movie that fascinates me. I don't care where the fate of the people in the film goes, because the people in the film are us, and we are in the mirror. I saw the life of my mother, the trajectory of my brother...

I still listen to the story with a smile, and try to face life calmly and strong. I understand more and more that we are facing the same world, we are all experiencing similar stories, we all know the same truth, but we are not on the same avenue for the time being.

Mirror quotes

  • Father: It seems to make me return to the place, poignantly dear to my heart, where my grandfather's house used to be in which I was born 40 years ago right on the dinner table. Each time I try to enter it, something prevents me from doing that. I see this dream again and again. And when I see those walls made of logs and the dark entrance, even in my dream I become aware that I'm only dreaming it. And the overwhelming joy is clouded by anticipation of awakening. At times something happens and I stop dreaming of the house and the pine trees of my childhood around it. Then I get depressed. And I can't wait to see this dream in which I'l be a child again and feel happy again because everything will still be ahead, everything will be possible...

  • Forensic doctor: You know, I fell and found strange things here - roots, bushes... Has it ever occurred to you that plants can feel, know, even comprehend? The trees, this hazelnut bush...

    Natalya: This is an alder tree.

    Forensic doctor: It doesn't matter. They don't run about. Like us who are rushing, fussing, uttering banalities. That's because we don't trust nature that is inside us. Always this suspiciousness, haste, and no time to stop and think.
