Mommy is tired, let her take a break

The music in the whole movie is very good, especially the three people dancing in the kitchen, the feel is just right, full of lukewarm ambiguousness. As a mother, vices such as alcoholism, smoking, foul language, neuroticism, etc. have not been able to cover up the light of motherhood. There is no doubt that she is a great mother. Facing a son who is moody and violent, all she can give is not to give up.

As for the final choice, it seems that it is difficult to be persuaded by Mommy's reason. She had hope and sent her son back to the hospital. I prefer to understand it as "Mommy is tired and wants to rest." Although she loves her son very much, she cannot At the same time, this decision actually broke the balance between the three, and the departure of the son also made the two women who depended on each other lose their reason for continuing to communicate in an instant. Sometimes the reason is used to deal with outsiders, and only oneself knows the true feelings.

At the end of the film, the son's unruly escape seems to be far away, but he does not know that the next scene will be an anesthesia needle. It is human nature to have a free heart to break free from shackles, and one cannot escape responsibility. If you only think about your own comfort and ignore your loved ones, your life will be more difficult to walk.

    The film’s success came at the expense of the first four films that were not successful enough. I finally understand that Dolan's too much style is not wrong, but because of his age experience, only "the stupid bird flies first" can achieve such a perfect balance through continuous practice. Turn black instantly. I like the burst of mother's back to the camera most. At the end, Born to die really touched my point. (Please calm down if you ask for resources. How can there be a download at the Cannes World Premiere...)
