A wife murdered her husband, a daughter murdered her father, and a dead man returned to the world. Such a complicated and predictable plot will surely have different effects under the support of different film directors. If it were filmed by our master of suspense, Hitchcock, he would definitely make "Return" a classic thriller film like "Butterfly Dream", if it was replaced by Tim Bolton, who likes to be crazy and empty, filmed "Return." ", will become a black sci-fi comedy, and it is commonplace to come back from the dead in Bolton films. With the cooperation of Mai Zhaohui and Liu Weiqiang, "Return" will become another "Injured City". Under the lens of Adomowa, who is better at expressing femininity, "Return" maintains the mark of Almodovar, and only wants to express emotions.

If "Return" does not watch the final dialogue between the mother and daughter on the bench, it will be difficult to solve many of the questions in the movie. Why did Xiao Pan Pan not have any remembrances for his late parents, why was Xiao Pan Pan unusually indifferent to the enthusiastic folks in the village, why Xiao Pan Pan could calmly deal with the funeral after the murder of Xiao Pan Pan’s daughter, and why Xiao Pan Pan When Xiao Pan Pan's daughter asked her father, why Xiao Pan Pan didn't get excited when she saw the resurrected mother and turned and fled. These unreasonable questions bring out the truth behind the story.

It turns out that Xiao Pan Pan gave birth to a girl after being raped by his father when she was a girl. This girl is both Xiao Pan Pan's daughter and Xiao Pan Pan's sister. Xiao Pan Pan's mother didn't know why Xiao Pan Pan until many years later. I want to stay away from this family and take care of my daughter alone. That little girl is her daughter and her daughter. The normal family relationship was abandoned by a shameless man. Little Pan Pan's mother burned the evil devil with fire. From then on, Little Pan Pan's mother became a dead person in the mouth of others, but the soul is still a ghost in the world.

And Xiao Pan Pan always believed that his parents loved each other, and his mother seldom cared about him. He didn’t know that his father’s death was caused by his mother’s resentment after knowing the truth, and he didn’t know that his mother had been living with guilt for so many years. Among. When the mother and daughter were sitting on the benches, they were happy, let the family return, and dispelled the knot of each other for many years. The arrival of this moment made the movie complete, and the family returned to the small town as before and began a life of warmth and love many years ago.

In Almodovar's "Return", the two men who died were not very sympathetic, but the woman who became the murderer looked like a real victim. There are not many homicide scenes in the movie. The director does not want to promote the development of the plot through the presentation of the case, and does not want to be too bloody to destroy the full-color picture. Almodovar also avoided the judicial norms of behavior. All reasonable morals will be higher than the law. Those damn men can only disappear like dust, and those women who love life are not subject to any seemingly just laws. The prosecution.

Xiao Pan Pan's appearance in "Return" is just like Maggie Cheung in "In the Mood for Love", like a beautiful and swaying flower, which is not enough for people to see. Wong Kar-wai also awarded the best actress at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival to this group of women who love life, Xiao Pan Pan, Xiao Pan Pan’s mother, Xiao Pan Pan’s daughter, Xiao Pan Pan’s sister, and Xiao Pan. Pan's aunt. In fact, there is nothing wrong with awarding to Xiao Panpan alone. Her performance is really good. Maybe Wang Dao doesn’t want to be left out of every woman who works hard in the film. Every woman has worked hard to bloom herself in the movie, one of the best. The heroine award is a compliment to a group of women. Serious women are the most beautiful.
