The title of the film is translated as Requiem for a Dream, which is more direct than My Dream. Requiem always feels ominous. After reading it twice, I still feel depressed, and the beautiful things are crushed to shreds and smashed into slag bit by bit in front of you. In Sara's dream at the end of the film, I cried a lot.
Sara is a poor old woman. Her husband left her early and left alone, and her son also left home and walked into the chaos of the world. Sara is a woman abandoned by the world, she is old and only has TV for company. She was lonely, lonely, and often cried at night. Only television and chocolate can give her solace in this world. Suddenly one day, she won the first prize and was able to get the bonus on TV. Her life was given meaning and value, getting up, cooking, and doing housework in order to be on TV. A 60-year-old woman, in order to wear the most beautiful red dress at the age of 30, started dieting and losing weight, taking medicine to lose weight, just to be able to be on TV. What does an old woman do on TV?
The son did not understand, the neighbors only saw the dream of making a fortune brought by TV. But Sara's dream is so sad, her life is a journey with no ifs. She was radiant when she was young. Her life revolved around her husband and son. She lived because she could wash her husband's clothes and cook for her son. But suddenly one day her husband left, and her son no longer needed her. She is alive and dead. She wants to be on TV, not for money, but to be able to travel back in time to the happiest moment of her life and announce it loudly to the world. At the end of the film, Sara becomes more and more lonely under the double torture of drugs and electric shocks. She lives in her own imagination and does not want to leave. There, she was needed by everyone; there, she won the jackpot in life; her son Harry got married and lived happily and safely; there, she sent her last words in life, son, I love you.
Mother's love was crushed bit by bit in front of me, and I never forget it and never recall it. Indifference, disappearance, more heart-wrenching than hatred. Sara's dream was shattered in the expectation of her son, in the despair of crying, and in the horror of life. How did you go in the years after Simon's death? Harry's departure must have hurt your heart. He has sold your most loyal friend again and again for money. You must be very heartbroken. He came back, whether he was there or not, but his heart was far away. You must have cried. You still love him, but your dreams are shattered.
Harry loves Sara, he said, "My biggest dream is to make my mom happy." Although I have done a lot of things to hurt her in the past, time can't turn back, I just hope she can live happily. When he was earning money, he was in high spirits, and he wanted to give his mother a TV. But what Sara doesn't want is TV. TV is far better than your company. Those things can't buy her happiness. She just wants you to have a good job, find a good wife, have a precious child early, and live a stable and peaceful life. In fact, it's good to see you often.
Harry doesn't understand, why don't you appreciate your favorite TV I bought to please you? Disturbed when he found out that his mother's diet pills were poisonous, he shouted that they were murderous. The mother felt that the son was questioning his own dreams. My mother didn't understand why my son didn't understand why he lost weight and put on the most beautiful red dress, just because he missed the days when our family was still together. The son wanted to tell his mother the truth about himself, but finally gave in. In the taxi, he burst into tears, and once again deeply felt the guilt of his mother and the pain of his powerlessness. White, let him escape, let him be numb, let him be indifferent.
Tai, in the play is a microcosm of Harry's future life. Tai wants to stand out just to make his mother proud. On his most disappointing days, he always thinks of his mother, the peaceful sleep in his arms when he was a child, and his mother's advice that he only wants to be happy. Harry, in the first half of his life, tangled in love with his mother Sara, loved, but what he did was hurt. In the bottom of my heart, I feel that my mother will always be by my side. As long as I need it, she will definitely wait there. But the pace of time is always in a hurry, you say, time, slow down. But you know, mom is getting old. she left,
Left with broken dreams about you. Tai is another Harry. After his mother left, he realized how important his mother's love is to him. Tai's life is meaningful because of his mother, and he lives because he has a dream to realize his mother's dream, live a good life, and be happy. Tai worked hard, but lost to drugs and fell under the inertia of this society.
Four people, a feast that has nothing to do with high-end goods.
The title is full of vitality, and the spring is bright. The bright sunshine is extremely warm, seemingly true but false, making everything seem so lazy and calm, full of happiness. It was summer.
In autumn, on the bright seaside, the seagulls were singing cheerfully, and Marion, the most beautiful woman in Harry's life, looked at the sea with long black hair. She was wearing a long red dress, swaying in the wind, with a beautiful and graceful back. Harry couldn't wait to run towards Marion, silently calling out her name, happy and excited.
In winter, Harry lost his arm, the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life, and his mother who loved him the most.
He fell into the abyss, ruined in Tai's guilt, in Marion's sinking, in Sara's friend's wailing.
The so-called tragedy is probably like this, tearing up the purest things ruthlessly in front of you. I see that love is fragile; the indifference of family love is sinking; human nature has become distorted and unreal. High-end goods, give dreams, but it is void. Falling from this void, smashed to pieces.
Time, can you go slower and let me see my dear parents again. They are old and I can't be by my side. They are lonely and helpless like Sara. If you lose and you win, what about the whole world? In the most painful place in life, there is a saying that a child wants to be raised, but a parent does not wait.
