Those weddings that are about sisterhood

Ellen 2021-12-25 08:01:17

The sun is shining, and you can still feel the smell of spring sunshine through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. There are very few pedestrians on the road, and there are occasional remnants of spring snow on the edge of the opposite floor. Everything is so harmonious, like the piano music of Matsushita Nao. I have been talking about weddings recently. I wrote a story about a bridal shop and a wedding between two women. Of course, I also watched "Bride Step Over" and fell in love with the 27 sets of dresses. I really want to be the second best man, but my drinking seems to be too shameful.



Today, I watched "Rachel's Wedding". To be more precise, I was preparing to adjust my emotions, but I couldn't calm down after watching it quietly. Anne Hathaway’s performance is in place, using those big eyes that are sometimes empty, sometimes desperate, sometimes angry, sometimes fragile, and sometimes full of expectations, to take the girl who has experienced too much misfortune and shouldn’t, but is eager to integrate into the family. All kinds of emotions are displayed vividly.



The emotions between the sisters seem to be the most subtle. Girls’ thoughts are more trivial, so usually their most intimate stories are told between sisters. After all, my sister feels more secure than my mother. For example, the big S in "Speech of Love" is the same. In fact, the story I am writing is also about sisters and marriage, but I believe it is a story of a broader Chinese complex. Even if there is a quarrel, the older sister will always be the older sister. So I cried as I wrote. In the music of Nao Matsushita, there are all pictures in the story in his mind. The sister who always thinks about others, no matter what she experiences, she will carry it alone. Just as selfless as the sister Jane in "The Bride Moves Over". I remembered that "Rachel's Wedding" hadn't been watched, so I looked quietly.



KYM comes from a separated family and lives with her sister and father. Since I was a child, my sister and my uncle have experienced sexual harassment from their uncles. I believe in KYM, because Rachel was so excited that she almost sever the sisterhood. For the younger brother’s accident, the mother should also have a large part of the responsibility. Although a small part of the film shows the mother-daughter relationship, KYM and her mother were torn apart on that rainy night. It seems that I should believe in KYM. The mother is almost a passer-by in the film. She seems to have a superficial relationship with the daughter who is about to get married and will become a mother. She lacks maternal love in her bones, so she is as desperate as KYM for her mother. But KYM ​​still longed for her mother so much, especially when her mother hurriedly parted after the wedding. She looked at her away with her back to the camera. At that moment, it seemed that she was also far away from her mother and no longer had any intersection. For her father, she was afraid of his close-surveillance care. What's more, compared with the average strict father, the father is more kind and peaceful. A father who is keen on the kitchen table is more at home and does not give his daughter a strong backup force. . Not to mention friends, KYM may be a terrible trouble for relatives and friends around. This can be seen from the original bridesmaid EMMA. Therefore, only the sister Rachel can give her strength, even if she lied to her face, borrowed money from her for various reasons and other evil things, only her sister can give her the most comprehensive tolerance and support. Perhaps it has something to do with childhood experiences. However, in the eyes of the sister who is about to embark on a new life journey, the wedding should be a lively moment that symbolizes a happy future. However, the younger sister comes out of the rehabilitation at this time, so a bunch of pasts that seem to be forgotten begin again. Moreover, he has to be exposed in front of his in-laws and friends. There are really some things that cannot be compromised, especially when it comes to personal privacy. But for KYM, the sister's wedding is more like a battle to grab your own protection. She tried to apologize to everyone, even if they didn't accept or forgive it didn't matter. Marriage is a happy scene, but KYM ​​is lonely and terribly alone there. Perhaps leaving is a relief to her, to her sister, to her father, and to her mother. So in the end she chose to leave. Looking at his father through the glass window, he called his father in a choked tone. Sorrowful.



Both "Bride Flashing Over" and "Rachel's Wedding" seem to be very important stories about sisterhood, and both take place at weddings, but one is the wedding of the younger sister and the other is the wedding of the older sister. Of course, it is relatively toned. It is more sunny, while the latter has a darker tone. Jane rescued the man she loved at her sister's wedding, but she greatly hurt her sister's self-esteem and heart. KYM tried to apologize to the family members at her sister's wedding. The former is more inspirational, self-saving, especially 26 weddings and dresses, as well as a combination of handsome men and beautiful women. The latter is more about the self-liberation of the soul, and the national wedding format is accompanied by the full flow of music. Both of them deeply painted the friendship between sisters, and they also hurt, but after the dark clouds, there are also blue sky and white clouds.



When I was watching a movie, I thought of my sisters' wedding. When my eldest sister got married, I was in the first year of junior high school. It was a February weather and there was unfinished snow on the road. I took a leave of absence and went home on my third cousin’s bicycle after the third class at noon. The eldest sister who has just finished her makeup is also with her. I will always remember the purple dress worn by my cousin, and the child on the roadside calling my eldest sister the bride, but at that moment, I actually scolded the child silently in my heart. I do not know why. Later, after the eldest sister in the red coat got into the wedding car, I cried and couldn't stop the tears. The father of the main room was also crying secretly. The memory of the second wedding seems to be deeper. I rushed back from school after the exam, and two of my second sister's classmates were bridesmaids. There were other reasons that caused the two sisters to have a conflict on the eve of the wedding. I was also very angry, but couldn't say much. The eldest sister was still busy the next day. The second sister's makeup is very good, and everyone thinks her temperament is extraordinary. I only remember that when I got into the wedding car, I was spreading red paper sheets in front, and she and her brother-in-law walked over step by step. According to the marriage custom, I led the way on the right front of the wedding car, halfway the second sister remembered and did not do one thing. When I ran home, I cried suddenly. At that moment I felt so sad, remembering that I wanted to watch the Spring Festival Gala all night by myself and so on. I don't know why I have to record this again, but I feel the same every time.
