The film "Sister Peach" has no intense rhythm or deliberately provocative tears. The whole play unfolds slowly in the trivial daily life of the two people, life, old age, sickness and death. Even when the young master Roger played by Andy Lau wanted to decide the life and death of Sister Tao, it was not the grief of crying or the heart-piercing pain, but silently ate a bowl of jelly and told the doctor, do it according to your opinion (let Tao My sister died naturally and slowly), I am going on a business trip, in case I can't come back in time, please send me to the morgue directly. Sometimes real life is like this, calm and restrained sadness, we have to forget the dead and move on.
Xu Anhua is a very restrained director. It can be seen that what she wants to direct is to make life itself unfold in her own way. She obviously believes that real life contains the power to touch people's hearts.
For me, she obviously did. Not only did I watch the whole movie patiently, but when I saw Uncle Jian bring a bunch of flowers to Sister Tao, my tears naturally flowed down. Maybe it's because I'm old, maybe it's the middle-aged people who can be touched by this slow-paced but life-like film.
Shortly at the beginning of the movie, Sister Tao (played by Ye Dexian) cooks breakfast for the young master Roger (played by Andy Lau). After the meal, Sister Tao served the cut fruit, inserted a toothpick, and placed it near the young master. Isn't this the daily treatment of my precious girl in my family?
Roger is used to eating the dishes made by Sister Tao, so the taste is very bad when he goes out, because Sister Tao is not allowed to be too fishy, too salty, not too spicy, not too sweet. The same is true of my grandmother, she should not cook too much salt. Unhealthy, not too much oil, not healthy, not too much chili, not healthy, even now that I know GMO, I have to choose non-GMO food, the girl doesn't taste good, so I immediately make a new dish for her to eat, and now I have developed a A good habit of picky eating.
In the movie, Roger was already very big when he appeared. My girl was still young. As long as grandma was there, she wanted to drink water, she wanted to wash her face, and she wanted to do something. The first thing she wanted to do was to call her grandma, and then even if grandma was already Sleeping on the bed, he arrived as soon as he said it, completely ignoring that he was already a sixty-year-old.
When I saw Sister Tao's expression, she was always timid and careful to take care of others, as if she was extremely low and low, she wanted to be low in the dust, and she wanted to be extremely high and high, and had the courage to take care of you. This is exactly the same as the old man in my family.
I actually don't appreciate Sister Tao's life. She has never been married in her life and has no special hobbies. Her happiness and desire is to see that the person she wants to take care of needs her own care. In other words: she is a person who can only feel Someone who needs her to find happiness for others.
In fact, Sister Tao in the movie is still tolerant. She is just a servant, but Roger's mother. I hope that Roger can choose according to his own intention, adding Roger's mother's hope to Sister Tao's contribution. In fact, this is my family. The fit version of Sister Tao, all her efforts will one day become the investment that requires you to realize her intentions, she will think you are too cruel if you reject her, and you will feel too cruel to yourself if you satisfy her.
I think to myself, if I am old, I must not just stare at the few people I love around me. I am very afraid of my love, and it is actually just a burden to them.
But a friend of mine also watched Sister Tao. He said that my family also has a sister Tao, but it is Brother Tao. I am afraid that we are old, not Sister Tao but Brother Tao.
I said I wouldn't, he smiled, how do you know you won't when you're old? Anyway, from what I know about his wife, basically all her thoughts are on her son, and she has the potential to become Sister Tao.
In the movie, Sister Tao is happy. Her sacrifices in exchange for Roger's love for him, and she is not alone in her life after a stroke. And Sister Tao lives in Hong Kong. Even if Roger doesn't care about her, the government can at least place her in a nursing home. If we become Brother Tao, there is still a real problem. We need someone else's support to grow old. I'm afraid No matter how nice you were to others back then, we're all going to be disgusting.
In fact, we are all afraid of getting old, afraid that we will become worthless to others, afraid that our perseverance for a lifetime will not bring a little warm comfort...
