After watching the movie "Julietta", I remembered that many of Monroe's stories happened on the train.

There is an article called "Arriving in Japan", which tells the story of a woman who had sex with a strange man on a train and almost lost her child. This kind of sinful punishment made this woman deeply regret the life of being absent-minded and always writing poetry in her mind, but soon, a long-planned reunion came, and everything was in shock again. In the sway of the heart.

When I read this story, I was very, very shocked. The degree of shock was more than the "Children Stay" when the mother really ran away, and also more than the long and painful "Julietta" and its prototype novels. Compared with the real occurrence and real loss, what is more distressing is the ignorance of people's life, the dazed wandering from one ignorance to another, and the irony of "ignorant" women. In this sense, by deliberately slowing down fate, which is always poured in cement, it provides an archetype for many of Monroe's stories, simple but extraordinarily violent.

I almost cried at the end. This latest Almodovar novel is so tender. The shallow depth of field of the large color blocks in many scenes is still very Amoy, and the maid setting reveals the shadow of Hitchcock's butterfly dream. The clever way of narrating stories deserves to be the backbone of the existing directors who insist on classicism.

The motivational foundation of the whole story is too weak, and the sudden transformation of the characters is unconvincing. Which daughter would suddenly and cruelly decide to never contact her parents again, what kind of cult is so powerful? Is it too far-fetched for a daughter to feel guilty about her father for so many years? The heroine's sense of guilt is too deep, isn't it? There is also death as soon as fishing, encountering daughter's best friend twice in a short period of time, daughter's sudden death of son, etc. The progress of the plot is too dependent on coincidence.
