Grow up overnight, but so

Once I write a movie review, I feel hypocritical, and I can't describe my true feelings at the moment. I really like the title of this video, What Maisie Knew, also likes its Chinese literal translation, what does Mech know. In English, it is more like a question sentence, but in Chinese, it is a declarative sentence. It seems that the title of the movie has the following sentence, "What does Maggie know, she knows..." I like this kind of meaningful sentence very much. movie title. Since I don't know the director's style and I haven't read the original book, I was a little worried that it would be a cruel story for the first 20 minutes. For me, it's not a dull story, and the storyline actually moves pretty fast. The film is a very restrained narrative, for example, Mech has no friends. She was there at first, the little girl named Zoe, who finally cried at Medge's house and was picked up by her parents, and she never showed up again. In the smoky living room, when Maggie's mother hugged Medge, Medge was quiet and submissive, but Zooey felt terrified. This contrast was really silent. Zooey kept crying while lying beside Mech, Mech comforted her not to cry, Zooey didn’t say why she was crying, and Mech didn’t ask. At first, they had a good time with Mama Mechi, but in the end, Zoe's parents took Zoe away, and Mama Mitch told the people upstairs that the neighbor's house was too conservative. Then there was a scene where the little boy said to Medge, your mother said you want to go back with us. On the way, the little boy's mother took the little boy's hand, and Mech, who was walking in the air, glanced. Then smiled and said goodbye to them and went home. She has no friends. About the family, her father told her you were my sixth favorite girl, and she asked who the others were. Her mother said you were my favorite, she was silent. In the film, after Mage's mother bought the turtle, she asked the turtle, are you happy to come to our house? Generally speaking, someone should pretend that the turtle is happy. When Medge was silent, I really thought she might say she was upset. But she was a gentle, obedient and considerate child, and she didn't say cruel words until she finally rejected her mother. To be honest, when the plot reaches her mother showing her the world of adults, I am afraid that the film will develop in a sinister direction. Fortunately, the story is still gentle. When Medge finally rejected her mother, she was frightened for the first time. Her mother angrily accused her of "Are you afraid of me?" Her mother instinctively wanted to grab her, and she took a step back. Her mother apologized and said, "I didn't want you to be afraid." Mech's mother was a very contradictory person, someone who knew that she was shallow but couldn't bear it. Every time I say I love you the most, she knows she doesn't love Meggie the most, but she still has to convince herself. Medge's father accused her when she was divorced, the court thought she would go anywhere Bringing disaster, she retorted fiercely, and finally calmly told Medge that you should pack your things. Deep down she knew her powerlessness, hypocrisy and shallowness, but she couldn't admit it anyway. Maggie's father is a very calm person who doesn't love others. He talked to Maggie in the breakfast shop. Maggie mentioned coins. He said, do you remember what I told you? Mech's father was often like this. There were moments of warmth on impulse, but not long in the face of reality. For example, he told Margo and Medge that he was going to Italy on a business trip, and when he saw what they looked like, he changed his mind and said otherwise we would go together. The same was true in the breakfast shop, and he added that Mech was also coming to England with him. But in the end, considering the real reality, it was just a whim. I don't know if Maggie knows, I just think she's very gentle, she doesn't resent or hurt other people because of what happened to her. For children, this is the easiest to do. I feel sorry for her silence and fear her weakness, but in the end, she smiles and runs to the front camera. Smiling, running excitedly, and finally showing a flash of blankness and emptiness where the stepparents couldn't see. Regarding the step-parents, they are all gentle people, so they hate Mech's parents, but they like Mech. But their relationship with Maggie was just implicated. There are two scenes of them with Medge's mother who wants to take Medge, one in Chinatown and one last. In Chinatown, Margo stood by and watched, and the bartender told Mech's mother that you were not worth her, and left, I guess to go to work. Then Margo also left. In the end, they also stood in front of the railing, smiling and talking, watching Mech talk to his mother. Throughout the film, no one has really said a word to Medge from her point of view. What the bartender said in front of Medge's mother was revenge at best. Because of Mech's gentleness, Mech didn't say anything for himself almost from the beginning to the end, and just accepted everything calmly. Fortunately, in the end, she finally told her mother that I was going to take a boat tomorrow. A gentle child said such words because she gradually realized that no one would speak for her except herself. I guess she will still smile in the future and will still be a gentle person because she has a strong heart. She hardly ever cried, and lay bored on a chair in the apartment, neither did her father come to pick her up, nor did she go upstairs to find her mother. Because her mother wouldn't even take her downstairs. There were two very close farewells to my parents, both in the car. My father sat in the car after he said he was going to England, and Mech got out of the car and came up to hug him. Her mother watched her walk into the bar, she glanced back at her mother, and pushed open the door alone. who that night Neither, full of strangers, she finally shed tears before going to bed. Grow up overnight, but that's it.
