The whole story begins with a shot filled with a huge black woman, with a self-narrative background sound, and Jewel walks in, no one would know she's only sixteen just by looking at her. Because she is extremely fat and shiny black, her legs are twice the size of a normal person, and she walks as if the earth is shaking. It's hard not to associate her with an "unwed mother of three who has been through the ages."
But I also knew from that shot that I would love this movie. Not because of how much superiority I can find in ugly treasures to comfort my poor life, but because I know this is a story of redemption.
Black movies always reveal a glimmer of light in despair and pain.
Although Zhenbao does not have three children, she is almost there. She has a daughter who is over one year old and is still pregnant with one. The father of the children is the biological father who raped her. , a mother with an unsound personality and a dirty and dark "home", as for unmarried? She didn't even have a boyfriend. She seemed out of place in this thriving world, with no love, no joy, no praise, no future. Or in her own words, "love" brought her harm, rape, treating her as a beast, and making her feel worthless.
Who says no, walk into her life and you will find that all the incredible darkness is taken for granted in her, all the filth and poverty are not worthy of sympathy, you will even be surprised that a mother can say to her daughter can contain so much So fucking, as if there is only one word in the world to describe her daughter. But fortunately, cherish dreams.
She dreams of herself singing under the spotlight, of a handsome boyfriend with big white teeth, of all the good life she never had, this dream is bright and open, this dream has friendly people and Cheerful music, she often had this dream, in her cramped room, in the lonely street with cold wind blowing, in the empty and messy subway. All of this made her dream even more unrealistic.
But dreams are dreams, and life must go on. Beyond the dream is reality, but reality will not always be so cruel. There will always be some warm people standing in front of you, waiting to lend a hand to you.
For Zhenbao, these people are a group of classmates from all over the world, the social worker sitting in the office wiping tears, the male nurse John in the hospital, and the adult teacher Miss Lan Yu who taught her to read and encouraged her to write. This Miss Lan Yu is mature, reliable, smart and decent. Not only is she worried about her cherished studies, but she is also struggling to find a place for the displaced treasure, caring about her baby, and giving her more than a hundred times more care than her mother, but irony. What's more, Miss Lan Yu is the "bad person" homo in her mother's mouth. When Zhen Ai said this, I could even imagine her mother's hideous face and the insulting words that came out of her mouth, how righteous and arrogant, how Filled with righteous indignation, as if she was the only one in the world qualified to judge the lives of others.
Sad people are always like this. They are incompetent and powerless about their own bad things, but they still hurt those who live harder than themselves, or they are ignorant enough to despise those who choose different from themselves. Poverty and closure do not give them the courage to break through, but an excuse for laziness and escape.
To be honest, when the sad mother told the social worker about her "history of blood and tears" in the social worker's office, I was not untouched. Her tearful eyes, trembling lips, and choked voice were all screaming for misfortune, and I was like Just like a social worker, I reluctantly wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes, trying to ignore this uncomfortable and tragic fact, but this time I don’t want to use Freud to convince myself to forgive a character’s selfishness and unbearableness. Just flow for your own pity.
Because now I believe more than human nature is good: one will always become the one that he or she meant to be, one way or another.
Maybe some people are destined to be indifferent to the beasts and the wonderful world, and she/he will eventually Everything will be lost. Some people will cry for the misfortune of others anytime and anywhere, and she/he will gain love and touch. Some people are born with poetry and romance, she/is a precious treasure in this world. ).
In the middle of the night, I feel it, and dedicate it to myself and the people I love, as well as all the excellent actors.
