Alone

At the beginning of the film, Anne Hathaway’s appearance is surprising. It is completely different from the previous image of the ugly duckling becoming a swan or the cute and beautiful girl next door. The smoky makeup with a cigarette in her mouth is really a subversive performance to win the Oscar. Nomination, otherwise it is absolutely impossible for her to win the award just based on her previous commercial and pleasing image. After taking this successful step, she is still very young, and it is not an extravagant hope to win awards in the future.
The documentary style of the whole movie is serious, and the vacillating shots are as real as DV effects. Rachel is getting married. With such a festive name and theme, I didn’t expect that the story—in fact, it’s just a fragment of life, not a story with a plot—that is actually so depressing, although there are touching words, beautiful scenes, and warmth everywhere. Emotions, but they all float outside, and inside are cold to desperate loneliness.
Although the movie is a lot of fighting, after the dispute, there is the embrace of relatives, and it seems that everyone has compromised a lot. No one is malicious, but no one goes deep into Kym's heart, no one.
Kym’s father’s unselfish love flowed out of his eye sockets, but he was just a helpless old man. He was worried that Kym would be wrong again. He did not dare to speak deeply, but was always vigilant. As a result, Rachel could not comfort him. He was exhausted. At the end of the argument on the night before the wedding, his expression of crying and shaking his head was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He didn't have the power to think about what was in Kym's heart. He also needed other people's care.
The biological mother is a bit complicated. When she was talking to Rachel, Rachel asked if she was dissatisfied with having her stepmother participate more than she did. Her performance vaguely made her feel a little bit savage in her mother's heart, but it didn’t matter for her daughter, she just wanted her daughter to be happy. . But later, I said goodbye to Kym. The distance was not far enough to stop Kym from trying to explain the reconciliation to his mother. Finally she left, as if she didn't care, didn't want to care what Kym thought in her heart.
Rachel is very real. She is beautiful and generous, immersed in happiness. She was emotionally tangled with Kym. On the one hand, she couldn't accept this younger sister. She took drugs and killed her little brother. She was rebellious and sensitive. You never know what will happen to her next. She can't bear the most important wedding of her life being disrupted by this sister. Her father always puts his heart on her younger sister. Everyone is worried about what will happen to her. On the most important day of life, Rachel is the master of her life. She needs to concentrate. Everyone's eyes. On the other hand, she has love, sympathy and compassion for her sister. She knows that she is mentally fragile. She hopes that she can comfort her. She wants to be a bridesmaid, so let her do it. Back tired to attend the wedding, Rachel cleaned and dressed her. Rachel’s complex and contradictory psychology to Kym is the most true, love is true love, but forgive me, I do have selfish thoughts. Therefore, when Kym returned to the drug treatment center early in the morning, the newly married Rachel had to get up and give her a hug to let her know that her sister loved her; but when she slowly left, Rachel let out a sigh of relief and jumped up lightly. Maybe this idea is evil, but it is the most real, thank goodness, finally left, calmness returned.
Kym was lonely when he got home from the beginning. Talking to Emma and Rachel happily, but can't conceal the sadness in her heart, those things are completely boring to her. At the pre-wedding banquet, everyone was talking about what a wonderful pair of people Rachel and Sydney were. The strange words of those strange faces seemed to come from thousands of miles away and had nothing to do with Kym. In the past Emma talked about, Kym’s interruption seemed so superfluous. No one cared what she said. She just wanted to let others and herself know that there was another one of her, but others didn’t feel at all, even she didn’t feel that she belonged. The current environment. After that, several disputes with Rachel, including her mother, were really desperate. Kym felt that she was sorry for the whole world. She knew that the whole world made her feel this way. She didn’t want to. She expressed herself, but it was useless. All struggles were futile. Yes, no matter if you are sorry or angry, no one understands you, no one.
Lonely, one person, unable to share.
