story begins with a journey by train.
The man who suddenly sat across from Julieta had a very sad aura. "I didn't like the way he looked at me," Julieta said.
The deer running outside the car window are beautiful. When the accident happened, Julieta began to expect that all this had nothing to do with the man on the opposite side, and it had nothing to do with herself. She would rather be the beautiful deer, glowing with white light like a divine beast, saving her from the quagmire of sin. The film has since set the tone and will be a story about finding a deer.
2 It
is often easier for Zoan to fall in love with a person's flesh before he falls in love with his spirit. Zoan is really a good looking man. He was Julieta's first deer. "This man was completely prepared to die as soon as he got in the car. No one would commit suicide because a strange woman would not pay attention to him." Julieta's nervous face finally relaxed. At night, the slightly swaying carriage and the dark night immersed in the windows made the atmosphere just right, the hormones were secreted just right, and the window glass showed Julieta's black corset and well-proportioned figure. She moved up and down, riding her deer.

Antia Julietta came to Zoan's residence, stood in front of the kitchen window, facing the blue and calm sea, and exclaimed. They have a daughter Antija. But the sea will not be peaceful forever. After a quarrel, the two broke up. Before Julieta left, Zoan said, "I'm going fishing today." So that night, the storm took Zoan away. Julieta fell into deep sadness and depression, while her daughter seemed to grow up overnight and became her second deer.
4 Undercurrent
Life Under the calm surface, there are often undercurrents surging. Antija, who showed maturity too early, was actually out of depression: she knew that her father's death was related to her mother, but she kept silent and never mentioned a word to her mother; her lover relationship with her girlfriend tortured her heart. . The most important person in life is also the most difficult person to face, the person who brings pain. So she decided to go to the suburbs to practice and then ran away from her mother. Losing the Julieta of Antija was like suffering from madness. She is tough on the surface, but in fact, she has been relying on the "deer" to save her life at different stages. When she was finally alone, she could no longer turn around in anger and disappointment.
5 Freshmen
She moves into a new house, wipes all traces of Antija from her life, and has a new boyfriend. But just when she thought she was free from the past, people and events from the past suddenly appeared, dragging her back to the reality she couldn't face. It is impossible for a person to completely break with the past, at least not for women, at least not for Julieta. The new life that was rebuilt after the past was cut off in the middle was too fragile to be attacked. A single word from an old man can shatter the illusion in the bubble. Despair is still despair. Despair cannot be saved, but can only be endured.
6 Mother-daughter rivalry
Antija finally wrote to her with her new address. She told her mother that when her eldest son, 9, drowned, she realized how much pain her sudden disappearance caused her. In the more than ten years of living together, they concealed their true thoughts from each other, and they were gentle with each other while competing with each other. It was not until their daughter became a mother that they finally reached a reconciliation. "I won't ask her to explain anything to me," Julieta said on the way to see her daughter.
7 Women
If a movie has gender, it's a women's movie. In addition to the characters, there are also cameras, sound effects, and narration. The sensitive and delicate femininity radiates from the story and techniques, and merges with each other. The man sitting next to me watching the movie even fell asleep. You should remember that shot, when Antija left, her face disappeared from behind the door. In the last time she looked back, Julieta also saw the face of the man who died under the wheel, and the face of Zoan before he went to sea for the last time. She saw that important or unimportant people in life were disappearing one by one. Women are always seeking, but they don’t necessarily know exactly what they are seeking. It is probably something more and better than what is around them at the moment, or just something that is not in life at the moment, but only what is in hand. When she lost it, she came to her senses and was willing to exchange everything she had. even abandon life itself. Women's tenacity is here, and it is also destroyed here. Women are more vulnerable to the tricks of fate than men.
8 wives
There are three hapless wives in the story. Zoan's ex-wife died after six years in bed, and he had been unfaithful before his wife's death; Julieta lost her husband; Julieta's mother was seriously ill in bed and her father had begun to cheat with the nurse. Here, the topic of feminism is probably inescapable. We can find a person who points to the problem - the housekeeper of Zoan's family, with a serious face, big eyes, and an appearance that resembles the magical nanny before she transformed. She said that a woman's duty is to stay at home, so that the family will be happy, otherwise... ...then she turned away angrily. It's like a terrible curse. Either way, the curse took effect that night. Julieta went out, even for an afternoon, and when she came back, there was only an empty house left. Maybe we shouldn't take this plot too simple, and just use it as a detonating device to trigger Julieta's life changes. What I want to say is that this is more like a life metaphor, a metaphor for the society's abduction of women's morality. Bad fruit.
9 Growing up
No matter how old a woman is, she is still growing. Men will become children when they get old, but women will become wiser when they get old, because they are always denying the previous self and growing into a new look. For better or worse, grow into a new self.
I like this movie because it doesn't have that much story to tell, so it can be played slowly, allowing each shot to be warm in its slow progression. There is also the wild and unrestrained atmosphere of Spain, colorful buildings and dress. But until the end, I didn't understand the meaning of the "Sitting Man" sculpture.
