Corruption in politics, discrimination against women, obsession with maternal love
are the three key words of this movie
1. Women are crazy
"Everyone knows that women are vulnerable, and they all think women are too emotional and irrational.
They just say something unpleasant once in a while and a woman can go fucking crazy"
"Your ability to do the job is proof that female supervisors can do things well," Christine's boss told Christine
At the beginning of the film, the doubts and natural contempt for women are slightly revealed. It was not until the middle of the film, when Christine was imprisoned in a mental hospital for allegedly obstructing police enforcement, that the discussion on the topic of women gradually started in the communication with another "patient" who was also persecuted.
"Everyone knows that women are vulnerable, and they all think women are too emotional and irrational.
They just say something unpleasant once in a while and a woman can go fucking crazy. "
The "patient" is the escort girl in the nightclub, and was also detained in a mental sanatorium for allegedly obstructing police enforcement. She speaks rudely and does a humble job, but she does nothing wrong. When Christine and the attending doctor had another heated quarrel, when the medical staff treated her violently, the woman who accompanied the drink came forward to protect her, but was punished by the attending doctor instead.
"Room 18"
"Do not!"
Seven or eight medical staff swarmed up, forcibly pressing the escort girl on the bed and pushing her to room 18. Dim lights, icy air, four-finger-wide belts, bound and suppressed with frenzied, hopeless screams and brute force, a special machine clipped over the head, is electric current therapy.
Without a trace of pity and emotion, a glance passed, and the nurse turned the current switch with no expression on her face. Facing this desperate, poor woman in front of her, turning on the current switch was like turning on your own light switch. In the face of how many times this situation has been faced, this action can be done so cleanly and hard-heartedly.
It is also because of this incident that after being picked up from the mental hospital, Christine chose to fight to the end with corrupt police officers and the unfair status of women.
Delicate mind, sensitive to accidents, fragile, emotional ups and downs.
These words and women seem to be strongly related and strongly directed. Then, these also mean that women in life are more illogical and more unreasonable; women at work are more inefficient and useless. Naturally lower than that of men.
From "female drivers" to "pastoral women's rights", the discussion between men and women is endless and never stops.
2. Politicians with no bottom line
Money and power are eternal pursuits that politicians cannot avoid.
A lost child is a broken family, but it's just a statistic by which politicians measure their jobs. Maybe it's just a material written by the reporter and a chat after a meal with the neighbors. If it doesn't happen to you, tragedy is always just a probability number.
The beginning of the story is the inaction of the police. They always insisted on "not calling the police for cases of missing children within 24 hours", until the disappearance case became public and everyone knew it. Under the pressure of public opinion, the incompetent police chose to cover up with another lie.
Find a boy of a similar age to replace the lost Walter.
"He's been missing for five months, it's normal for you not to recognize him for a while"
How can a mother not recognize her own child. After collecting evidence from dentists and teachers, Christine challenged the police again. The powerless Christine was imprisoned in a mental hospital and could only be released after signing an "irrelevant agreement".
At the end of the film, the sheriff is fired and the chief is demoted, but how many unjust, false and wrongful convictions have become victims of the exchange of interests.
3. The never-ending maternal love
"It's time to look forward, your kids may want you to be happy"
"Maybe he wants me not to give up searching"
This story is based on true events, Christine searched for children all her life, and did not give up until her death.
I remember discussing with my friends what would happen if I was kidnapped by traffickers.
A friend said this.
"I asked my mother before, if I was caught by human traffickers, would you look for me? My mother said, it's okay, I won't look for it if I can't find it, anyway, there is my sister. Everyone laughed, and I was very worried. Seriously ask, is it true? Mom also looked me in the eyes very seriously, looking for you, even if the family goes bankrupt, I want to get you back."
Go bankrupt, spend your whole life, and find you too.
"Suspicious Clouds" still continues the style of Lao Dongmu. The oppressive color palette. Black, blue and brown are the main colors of the film. At the end of the film, everything goes bright. The bright lipstick on Christine's mouth is a tough resistance against the whole world. with tenacity.
