Please don't treat kind expressions as a kind of harm

It is rare to cry when watching a movie, and the strange thing is that "Rachel's Wedding" is not a tear gas.

Kym came back from the drug rehabilitation center to attend the wedding of her sister Rachel, which meant that she had to return to the family life she had been away from. But Kym's return did not bring joy to the family, but it uncovered the scars of the family. In such a lively, busy, and festive process of organizing a wedding banquet, Kym is like an outsider. Without her position, no one needs her. She tried her best to get the understanding of everyone, especially her relatives, but she was always self-defeating. . All parties are not happy for her. As the only sister of the bride and even the bridesmaid's qualifications, she was only obtained through strong struggle.

Kym looks very pitiful, but think about it from another angle. Her paranoia, neuroticism, living in the past, horns often make her lose control. In order to cover up her weakness, she can't do without the fact that she was a drug addict-- -It's better to preemptively speak out instead of others thinking wildly. As everyone knows, this looks more like a provocation, or a kind of indifference to mistakes. To be cruel, Kym is indeed a trouble maker.

The climax of the film was the conflict between Kym and his sister Rachel, and he mentioned the accidental death of his younger brother without hesitation. This literally plunged Kym into the abyss that the family did not want to mention became a cause of quarrel. Was put up grandiosely. Kym's self-blame, regret, helplessness, and grief burst out. When she choked with incoherent speech, when she rushed out of the house, and when my father was sitting on the sofa crying silently, I cried. It was not because of his brother's death, but because of Kym who made a mistake that could never be made up, this feeling of despair, helplessness and regret. I found that many injuries are beyond the reach. Kym accused her mother of leaving her younger brother in the care of a drug addict like her. The pain caused the mother and daughter to be hysterical, even fisting at each other. Kym was disappointed to find that her return was a mistake, and it was unnecessary to live a person who could not even be tolerated by the family.

But what is inexcusable between relatives? Why bother arguing over who is right and who is wrong? Everyone's way of speaking and doing things comes from within themselves, but they often fail to accurately express what they think. Too many well-meaning words and expressions of behavior are mistakenly regarded as a kind of intentional harm. In fact, they are all misunderstandings. Kym is too eager to love and understand, but she often cannot control her mistakes. She is a loser. It is much harder for a loser to survive in this world than others, because of the habitual look of others and the mistakes she has made that can never be made up. No matter how desperate or sad you are, reality will often dampen your courage. Those "leave everything to the past and start a new life" are all beautiful lies.

But family affection is thicker than water. At the end of the film, Kym returned home with a blue nose and a swollen face. Rachel silently helped her clean and dress. She still appeared at the wedding as her sister’s bridesmaid, feeling the joy of everyone. Kym felt for Rachel from the bottom of her heart. happiness. Perhaps at the end of the film, Kym and her sister reconciled, and got a love, but still did not get forgiveness from her mother, but in real life, the end of a wedding does not mean that everything is settled. There may be more misunderstandings and hardships in Kym's future life, or it may gradually become clear to see the sun. I want to repeat what I just said, please don't regard kind and unintentional expressions as a kind of harm.

We are all afraid of seeing the disappointed eyes of the one we love.
