Keeping Mum, Keeping calm

It is a pity that the Chinese translation of this film will greatly reduce people's expectations for the film.

Keeping Mum, looking at the title of the film, there will be doubts about what it means. I have only heard of Keep calm., a famous British phrase. After watching the movie, I realized that it not only means the ending of "keep calm" rhymes, but also points out the greatness of the role of "mother".

From the horror of blood oozing from the suitcase at the beginning, to the old lady killing the dogs one by one, tricking the children, etc., she was still very puzzled, until she told the heroine that it was everything a mother did for her children. Just understood immediately.

Tears ran, the emotion at that time was exactly the same as that of the heroine. It was only then that I realized immediately that all these murders and other crimes, "surreal", are actually to show that the heroine's mother was willing to do everything for her back then, and now for her and her family.

The climax of the film, (I agree with another reviewer), is the priest's speech, explaining everything:

(Excerpt from that reviewer below)
How do we deal with the problems we have to face in life? Sometimes problems like this just require us to act, make judgments, turn to others, make up our minds...and fix it.
But in other cases, something elusive is needed, sometimes all it takes is a little favor (Grace), a little favor from God (Grace), and the problem goes away.
So, should we ask the Lord to explain to us? Should I ask what method he used? Or just enjoy grace?
Well, I don't think the merciful Lord wants us to ask too much. Isaiah chapter 55, verse 8: "My way is not your way",

(return to my interpretation below)
This sentence, read out from the "bean" with great lines skills, is really For me watching the movie at night, a sober awakening. All of these represent various problems that will be encountered in life. How to solve various problems?

The pastor's answer in the speech was, Live with it.

Great.

dark humor.

The actors in the movie are all great. The male protagonist Bean is not only rich in body language, but also very skilled in his lines. His affectionate reading of Song of Songs and his emotional transformation when giving a speech are both very worth watching several times.

The female protagonist is the female number one of the British patient, the male supporting role is the male protagonist of hot dance, and GRACE is an absolutely powerful old drama bone. There are also Mrs. PARK, etc. Many supporting roles are also masters.

The comedy elements in the film will catch people off guard, and the horror elements will pervade all the time. The most exciting thing is that all of these are various means invoked by the director and screenwriter to illustrate the theme of the film.

Keep calm

and

live with it
