A woman who has experienced various hardships in the world can face the same morbid and abnormal life with a morbid and abnormal attitude when facing various crises and encounters.
Let's take a look at what happened to Michelle, a 60-year-old woman who is weak on the surface but superhuman on the inside.
The 10-year-old father slashed 27 people around and planned to burn down the house with Michelle. Her normal life has actually started to change from this moment. It took her a long time to let herself forget this piece of history, but every once in a while, the event that rocked France is revisited. So much so that she and her mother will never be able to come out of the shadow of this event. As a result, when she normally dine in a restaurant, she would be dumped by strangers in front of her.
In her company, her subordinates used her avatar to tease and insult her.
Michelle also had sex with her best friend husband.
His son was incompetent and found a wife to take care of him and act against him. The key is that the child born by his son and his girlfriend is obviously a black child, and the right child for the same reason is not her son's own flesh and blood at all.
On the other hand, his mother was in love with a man who was a few decades younger and even wanted to marry.
And most importantly, the heroine Michelle was raped by a masked man who broke into her house from the beginning of the film.
Combined, these encounters can be made into a bittersweet film.
But the director turned the film into an unconventional film with dark humor.
Let me ask, does the movie have to follow the prescribed commercial routine? ! The director gave these routines a loud slap in the face.
The film has a strange vibe from start to finish. And this strange almost morbid temperament is actually the heroine's inner struggle against this seemingly normal society. Mitchell, the heroine of strange behavior, uses her strong heart to cry out to this society and the life around it! With a seemingly calm smile on the surface to rage this riddled world.
We dare not say to ourselves that we are normal people. We pry into our own hearts, and there is an unrecognizable perverted deer hidden deep in our hearts. Underneath everyone's normal face was a driving force for Michelle's strange behavior.
And Michelle, regardless of the strange eyes around her, bravely became herself. She couldn't even be brave, but she was absolutely free to be herself.
For everything around her, she always chooses to shelve and forget, and continue to live a seemingly normal life the next moment. Don't change what you want to do for any reason.
It is no exaggeration to say that I envy her attitude towards life.
Perhaps for Michelle, her normal life was over on the day her father killed 27 people decades ago. In the future, she will face these extramarital affairs, rape, incompetence of her son, insults from company subordinates, etc. These are nothing at all. From that day on, at the age of 10, under her pale face, it indicated that she could see through all the ugliness and wounds in the world, and there was no need to heal it, so it continued to expand and fester, so that she finally mutated and changed her outlook on life. This gave birth to a very strong heart.
After watching this movie, if everyone praised the woman as "brave", "strong", "indomitable", "positive and optimistic", etc. I don't think any of these words are right for Michelle.
She's not the strong woman we celebrate, but she's definitely the woman we envy and hate. Some high-sounding positive words seem powerless to Michelle. Her views on life and thinking about life are more philosophical. If I really want to use a word for Michelle, I think she is despising angels and devils and trying to create her own world.
At this time, I suddenly remembered a sentence, if we want to control the society and life around us, then the god of life looks down on us and smiles with contempt. Because the moment you have this idea, it shows that you are extremely stupid.
But this movie shows us that Michelle is standing in a higher position, despising the god of life and all beings. Because she is absolutely free.
