When Kate Winslet appeared at the same time as HBO. It undoubtedly means that the ambition is the ambition of self-evident awards.
Looking at it, it is indeed worthy of this ambition.
In a remote town in Pennsylvania, like many places that are not marked on the map, the poor wages provided by the old and backward industries support the majority of the town; generation after generation of women under religion are early mothers, and most of them are even children themselves; A typical acquaintance society creates people familiar with each other but may not really understand each other; all modern societies criticized alcoholism, domestic violence, and drugs are everywhere and are accustomed to them.
People living in this context are helpless but proud. The younger generation may have struggled or even escaped, but later became one of them with peace of mind. There seems to be nothing wrong, as if it should be so, as if this is life.
The town’s female detective Mare was born in Si, grew up in Yu Si, married Yu Si and lost her son Yu Si, and even the most glorious moment in her life happened in Si. She undoubtedly loves the town deeply, as well as her friends and neighbors in her life. Caring and willing to give. Before the murder, her days as a detective in the town were trivial but undoubtedly everything was under control, of course, except for the missing daughter of the gas station shopkeeper in the town.
But the murder happened off guard in an ordinary morning.
The confusing case of the embarrassing victim and the unsuspecting people make Mare suddenly feel that the town is so strange to him, and the newly married ex-husband, rebellious daughter, the mother who is always frustrated, and the unknowing health but the biological mother asks them all. The grandson of custody also gradually made her mentally exhausted, and the sense of isolation that she had never experienced made Mare tired and fragile. In fact, she is just the mother who lost her beloved son. Everyone thinks that she is tough and strong, but in fact, she is only able to endure harder than others.
Life is equally difficult for everyone, and life is equally cruel to everyone. No one will have extra rewards and luck. Some are just crying, others calm, and some smile.
The brutal murder made the otherwise lifeless town seem to have a sign of great change. Some of the original contradictions were therefore covered up, amplified, and exposed, while others remained silent. But is there a turnaround in life because of this?
will not.
The father of the girl who had passed away was originally drunk and domestically violent. He was full of disgust for his daughter. However, after the death of his daughter, he suddenly became righteous. Was it really because of his love for the daughter of the boyfriend of the previously indifferent daughter? Not at all, it's more to find an outlet for your anger. Is the mother desperately searching for her daughter because she loves her daughter deeply? Not necessarily, after all, the daughter was also a drug addict before, and even betrayed her body for this. There is also the sister who takes care of the unemployed and drug-addicted brother, who hates everything on the one hand. The girlfriend of the heroine has faced family love and betrayal from her lover at this point in her life. Her daughter is disabled. Her only son has entered the juvenile management office, but she has to bear the burden of raising the son left behind by her husband’s betrayal. , The numbness will have to go on again and again.
Because this is life, like greasy hands, it is definitely not good, but food, clothing, shelter and transportation depend on it.
In the hopeless and terrible life day after day, every middle-aged person looks exhausted, while the younger generation is at a loss, desperately tossing in a given life, and most of the results are nothing more than harm, nothing more than others. It's me.
Mare can't escape such a situation. The boring life in the small town has made her ambitious, and the various things brought about by the bad life have made her increasingly unbearable, and exhaustion is written on her.
She doesn't care about getting, because there is no expectation, and she doesn't care about losing, because there is nothing left. The few remaining relatives and affection are what she maintains at the moment, although she knows that it may not be maintained at all, her daughter will go to university and start a life unrelated to the town from now on. The mother will leave her at any time when she is old, and her grandson will sooner or later. One day I will leave myself and leave here.
She no longer looks forward to feelings, because she knows what will happen afterwards, so she and the writer talk like relatives, but treat them indifferently to the kindness of young agents who come to the big city. Those hearts are exhausting to her. It’s not as easy as a glass of beer and a cigarette.
So she is not moved, not moved by emotions other than family affection, and not moved by the unexpected office of work. It seems out of fashion, but you can see the details that others can't see in the nuances.
But even so, she still can't get rid of all the things brought about by the growing decline of the town. So she still braced with exhaustion.
Perhaps as the pastor with doubtful identity in the first and last episodes (?) in the play said, when seeking faith or relying on or consoling in a desperate time, those who once trusted and relied on and loved thought that it was all, as a result But found that there was no, it was a lie. Nothing to rely on, and nowhere to go. The original can be as close as possible to the end of the world.
Everyone is everyone, and everywhere is the world.
——And, God also said, no, because people don’t ask for it; if you ask, you can’t because people ask in vain.
So what can I believe? Who are you looking for: love, and the beauty and hope in life?
In this declining town, in every tired life, these are already very few. Many people have lost too much in the process of seeking, but more people still seek nowhere.
They have long been ignorant of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and they are confined to them. They are so-called love, but they will never love it.
However, the days of the peaceful years are not affected in any way, unmoved and still go round and round.
Bring disappointment, and more disappointment.
The final end: I love the face that has been tortured by the years in Kate's play too much, because it is full of stories and so moving.
Well, see you next time.
