"Broken English" is about an older unmarried woman's slow growth in love under the guise of a romantic comedy. The fatigue brought by the long years, the loneliness entrusted by the neon night in the city, the so-called growth, there must be biting pain, the anesthesia of tears and the catalysis of sleeping pills, the injection of alcohol into the blood creates confusion, and the eyes filled with nicotine will gradually become hazy . So we are blind, so we are in love. Losing before getting is the so-called romance; failing before being sweet is the so-called comedy ending.
However, when the rhythm of the drum beats at the beginning, and Nora's tired face is reflected in the mirror, we see that this woman's unhappiness is far from her old age or lack of companionship, but the helplessness of life. The empty and tired eyes seem to care about nothing, but in fact they can't catch anything.
On the wedding anniversary of her friend's fifth anniversary, she endured her mother's ramble on her marriage. She knew that there were also many unhappy factors behind her friend's marriage. She didn't refute a word. Obviously, there are so many alternatives today that turn the non-mainstream into the mainstream. Personality female. She endured strange complaints from hotel customers, served critical customers like a caring teacher in a special education class would treat mentally handicapped children, and even went to bed with a third-rate movie star who was making trouble with a pillow in the lobby. Even when he was dumped, he learned the truth through gossip reports when he inadvertently changed the channel, and then he broke down after drinking coffee with a mother who didn't care about her older daughter to marry, but in exchange for another unhappy blind date that died prematurely.
Hundred and confused chats with their unfortunate married friends who are equally troubled, pushing the dullness of the film to the highest point. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the expressions of two extreme types of women, one who loves can't stop and wants to be dissatisfied, and the other who feels extremely insecure and doesn't even understand what love is, but has always embraced the dream of being loved. One is arrogance like a princess, and the other is humble and self-sufficient like a maid. The former will leave the building empty and feel lonely after the banquet, while the latter will be empty in the moonlight when they walk out of the crowd at the banquet. The frustration felt by Nora seems to be rare today when women's rights are in power, but in fact, under the increasingly enlarged image of mature women, the shadow of the earthly self is slowly shrinking. Many people become themselves in the eyes of others when they are alive, and all kinds of perfumes that are similar to each other cover up their natural taste. Nora's random path leads to oblivion. If you don't love yourself, how to love each other, how to benefit your lover.
When I decided to stop the aimless date, a certain French man accidentally met. He expressed French humor in broken English. Except for the language barrier, he was good at basically everything, but Nora had a hole in his heart and couldn't listen to sweet words. What's more, chickens talk to ducks. By the time the romantic Frenchman breaks the American defense, the return date is set. Nora, who was already half-smiling, woke up like a dream, and her bravely stretched out little hand brushed the edge of love and suddenly retracted. In a hurry, Julian, who is not good at English, understands that it is just a variety of excuses that he does not dare to try. Nora eventually flew to France and, having resigned, seemed to have no choice but to take risks. An affair of a married friend in France is estimated to have been filmed and then cut by the director. The story goes back to Nora. The loss of Julian's contact information makes this long-distance flight meaningless, but Nora is much more relaxed because of it, shopping or enjoying coffee. Before returning to China, Nora decides to stay behind to find the answer for herself, hoping to be loved whether it is right or wrong. Slowly, a person's journey suddenly brightened up, she can drink coffee, chat and go to the bar with strangers. The growth process of a woman is so peculiar that she does not need a great responsibility from heaven. Her youthful life is like a dream of Nanke, and she suddenly takes responsibility when she wakes up. I am sure because I have the answer in my heart. Some dedicate their lives to the family, some are willing to make a life-and-death promise for love, or give up their own time, and some specialize in art. Until Nora saw Julian on the subway to the airport, and accepted the review with his strange eyes, she could avoid talking about the hardships and inner struggles she had in finding him. In her eyes, she really has the power of feminine femininity. She is graceful and firm. She doesn't need to care about her eyes or the harvest. She is free.
I like the handling of the screenwriter at the end of the film. They don't need to cry with joy when they meet each other, they don't need to wipe their eyes or pinch themselves to question the truth, but they are embarrassed and puzzled by the surreal reality. When Julian didn't look at Nora for a few seconds, everyone indulged in doubtful unease. do you still love me? Are you ready? In the face of this uninvited guest who travels far and wide, whether to accept it or reject it, love needs an absolutely candid answer. So I understand that Nora was asked by Julian's line when he was pulled out of the subway, "So, you love me?"
Yes, we kept asking questions as we grew up, fearing that we would not be loved deeply. Suddenly, I was shocked, and with the courage to ask questions, I was not afraid to hear the answer. The end of the day was long and finally arrived.
"I think I must be doing something horribly wrong, but I don't know what it is." I know I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is.
At this point, when a woman is fully developed, no one can escape the stage of broken English.
