It's the beauty of the heroine that supported me to see this film from the beginning to the end.
The story told in the film is a bit messy, and it should be roughly divided into two lines. One is that the girl who gave birth to the heroine after being raped by her father accidentally killed her stepfather with unscrupulous intentions, and the heroine helped to bury the body; Husband and mistress returned to the hostess after burning to death and hiding in Tibet for N years.
From a bystander's point of view, the heroine's situation is undoubtedly tragic, but you can't see sadness on her face. Such a woman is terrifying. She can calmly dispose of the body step by step, and at the same time pretend to be okay, greet the neighbors, and bury all the anxiety, uneasiness, and deep in her heart. What outsiders can see is only her beauty. Ah, she has enough beauty. Such beauty fascinates and frightens. If you think of the beginning of the film again, a group of women are cleaning the cemetery, but no man is seen, do you feel a chill down your spine?
At the end of the film, the heroine and mother sit on the bench, as if responding to the title "Return": mother "from death to life". But looking at the two generations of mother-daughter love, the sisterhood between the heroine and the sister, and the friendship between the heroine and the prostitutes on the street, it seems that what the film wants to express is the return of the independent spirit of women, as if to say: there are no men , women can still live well.
So, what is it that supports me after watching such a film, it is still the beauty of the heroine~
