"Mommy" can be said to be a masterpiece of Dolan's previous labels and features. Although many people criticize him for repeating himself, perhaps it has been regarded by Dolan as his own unique style. Basically, he can still see him more open and in-depth early adopters. The picture is like a combination of beautiful postcards that have gone beyond the real scene and passed countless times. It is even a bit distorted to resemble a strand. A dreamy whirlwind filled with idols, matched with popular popular music, and finally with metaphorical "Born to Die", it has hit the hearts of many people. It is in the high-end literary and mainstream culture. Spotting a pleasing point in time, Dolan often plays with the camera in a variety of tricks, indispensable for slow motion, close-up, and virtual focus, trying to express the emotional state of the characters through the lens without concealment, thus converging into a pot. Although the eye-catching delicacy of Duolan brand lacks a touch of realism and a bit more gorgeous packaging and decoration, Duolan has also created a unique image path.
The deepest impression left by this film is the change of the format with an important suggestive effect, from a 1:1 ratio widening and then returning to its original shape. This process is not Dolan's blind pursuit of cool visual effects. , But want to connect it with the situation in the film. It can be vividly felt that the two screen changes in the film transition from a negative and intense emotional tone to a positive and positive emotional atmosphere. Once it is a rare three-person A carefree and happy life, the scene of the son’s picking up the screen is very beautiful, and it suddenly becomes clear; once is the beautiful imagination of the son’s future by mum, it forms a strong division and contrast between the relationship and emotion of the two characters, and it is also simple. It directly drove the emotional ups and downs of the audience. Dolan's ingenious idea undoubtedly made people's eyes bright, and the previous inferior version of Penguin was really cheating, and the quality of the movie would be greatly reduced.
In the film, the actors of Mommy Diane and her neighbor Kayla are Dolan’s queen actresses, especially Anne Duvalle, who participated in almost most of Dolan’s important works. In his debut "I Killed "My Mom" also played the role of a mother, and the inconsistent gap with her son continued in the film, but Duolan, who was complained by many people as a narcissist, was willing to retreat behind the scenes this time. The immature little fresh meat substitutes, and the actors' performances are as full as ever. Whether it is the turbulent emotional expression or the exhaustion of self-exhaustion, they are very hardworking. Since the first film, Dolan has been unswervingly portraying and focusing on the helpless contradictions and disagreements that are difficult to resolve between people who are on the edge or have special identities because of reality and emotional factors. , While the same sex and mother-child have always been very important elements in Dolan’s films, this time it has become "hyperactivity", which promotes the presentation of the mother-child relationship with more extreme and strong emotions.
Dirty, fierce quarrels and insults, emotionally overwhelming, and even being beaten up by an irrational son. The relationship between mother and child is violent when the relationship between mother and child is tense. Diane takes the troublesome ADHD son home and tries to be together. Normal life, but Steve is like a runaway wild horse that is difficult to tame, stealing, beating, scolding, and unpredictable outbursts, making people difficult to fight. After a fierce quarrel, the horrible situation seems impossible. Fortunately, the neighbor Kai on the opposite side stretched out a helping hand. This teacher and mother, who is also in the marginal zone, feeling lonely and suffering from aphasia, can mediate their relationship from their respective standpoints. Living together, the three seem to have an unprecedented happiness and harmony, but the trouble Steve caused before has once again dragged them into the mire of pain, facing a large sum of compensation, even the last trace. After his hard work was cut off by Steve, Diane, who had no spare energy, made a decision that was unacceptable to many people, and everything seemed to be cruel and returned to the original point.
The triangle relationship has always been a character structure that Dolan is passionate about. It can often interweave stronger drama and emotional tension. Although Steve is a bit different from ordinary people, it can make people clearly understand that he is completely normal or even normal. The ability to live a better life, losing his father, being discriminated against and being treated inhumane, is the only one who stands on the same line with him is Mummy. His love for her is undoubtedly almost fanatical and obsessive, working hard to please her and his evil. He fought against each other and deliberately mischievous and even self-harmed, but it was an extreme expression of his strong need for love after repeated frustrations in the process of longing for love. He completely broke free from the rules and regulations and normal order and pursued the ultimate freedom of behavior. Obviously in society It is difficult to have a place in the face of reality. Steve's trust and affection for Kayla are also from the heart. It can also be said that they belong to the "comrades of the same way". In the process of getting along with each other, they found the joy of opening their hearts and treating each other sincerely. I thought Diane and Kayla could Become the right-hand man who helped Steve step into the formal right, but Dolan still stood on the side of reality more reasonably. Diane's complete and happy imagination was nothing but an illusory fairy tale after all.
Diane finally sent Steve back to the hospital with sorrow, watching them brutally beat and electrocute him. Kayla, who was all in his eyes, couldn’t understand Diane’s decision either. He had nothing to do with Diane who could only rely on the bottom working life. In the eyes of many people, perhaps she could not bear this special and trouble-prone son, nor could she solve the trouble he caused. The catharsis in the basement was enough to show that when Kayla came to say goodbye to him in the end, Kayla Said that she did not want to give up her family easily, implying that Di Ann was too cruel, and Di Ann replied that she made such a decision because she still had hope and longing for the future. I remember that many people once did not understand the father’s final act of murdering his wife in Haneke’s "Love". They thought it was a selfish and cruel murder, but in my opinion, it was in the face of the helpless and cruel reality. Love is even more. In order to reveal the strong change of direction, I think from Diane’s perspective that the hard life with no money, no power and no status, and the inability to control the uncertain mood of his son, the mother and son may fall into a more desperate situation. Pain is worse than short-term pain, at least in the long future, there is still hope for hope.
There are many ways of expressing love. In the opinion of some people, choices or decisions that are contrary to universal values will feel that love has been abandoned or lost. In fact, it is wrapped in more selfless emotions and wise and rational judgments. Hearing that sentence Broken and moving lines: I will love you more and more, although you will love me less and less, seeing the doctor brutally and forcefully overpowering Steve, Diane cried and wanted to change his mind, seeing Diane When hiding behind the curtain and watching Kayla leave her face and weeping, I believe most people can appreciate the bitterness and pain of a mother's helplessness and helplessness when facing reality, and finally watched Steve struggling to break free, a profound ending. As soon as the song sounded, Dolan still injected a glimmer of hopeless hope into this sad story. In the face of the difficult and helpless reality, don't abandon the chewed and familiar word love, because only in this way can you have the opportunity to have more. good life.
