It took so long to write after reading it, it really took a long time.

Then talk about your opinion

In the world of writers, it is the writer who dominates all this, who can connect his work with his children, that is, create new works and create new life. He longed for new life to come to him, as inspired by that child, who was a writer after all. But as he said, it's a cycle, he's always doing the same thing, just changing people. He is always creating new, but also constantly destroying, he is standing on a giant Mobius ring, repeating without end. In fact, to abstract this point of the writer, he is a short-lived enjoyer, a comfort house that he finally created, enjoying the gratuitous dedication of his wife, and being sought after by people, so much that he forgot his origin and destroyed it all with his own hands. Abstracted from the characters themselves, the writer is the enjoyer, then the mother is the giver. And this image is also said by the doctor's wife: "Keep giving, giving, giving, but it always seems to be not enough." Of course, this image is also in line with most women in reality. Combining the title of the film, it is not difficult to think that the role of the wife is like that of the mother in the family - giving without regrets, giving, but always being hurt. And the director also integrated the most common characteristics of being a mother into the wife, and let this characteristic always reflect, although the first half, the wife was not pregnant. If the relationship between two people is family ethics, then the whole film is a microcosm of society and the world and an enlargement of the problem. The first, the biggest, and the most obvious, is that of refugees and immigrants, and their integration with natives. In the director's setting, those fanatical fans poured into the writer's house, just like refugees fleeing, they scrambled for food, items and space, and the writer's attitude is also the attitude of those countries that accept refugees, and listening to the film That sentence in Chinese gave me a great cultural shock. When the Chinese and the United States are connected, it is not difficult to imagine the immigration issue. Although it is not easy to understand and express the intention of the director, from the perspective of the Americans, it is more or less understandable. There is no other meaning, just as far as the movie is concerned, Chinese girls are fighting with homeowners, (here can also be seen as Americans), perhaps it is a matter of interests between immigrants and Americans. The other one is religion. Since the arrival of the doctor, the mysterious religious color has been rendered in the film. Similarly, it is not easy for us to understand what kind of attitude the director wants to show towards religion. Of course, I have looked at others, and some of them are understood from the perspective of the Bible, but because individuals really do not have the knowledge and understanding of this faith, they cannot be analyzed from the perspective of the Bible. Talking about the characters, in terms of watching the filming of the film, there is one thing worth mentioning, that is, the director really made the light too dark. The lens is really shaking and dizzy. However, the director's unique female perspective is really, really real, and I have to admire the director's talent and shooting skills. There is a little detail that I understand. One of the doctor's sons died, the blood seeped on the floor, it couldn't be wiped clean, and it was soaked, that is to say, the essence of the floor was broken, implying that the essence life of the wife and the writer had deteriorated, and the wife thought with the blanket To cover up is like covering up their previous life, the blanket is the wife's pregnancy later, but as time goes on, the author publishes the book, the problem is exposed again, and the covering blanket is soaked and tattered. The surface also cannot hide the inner changes like a rotting floor. The above are all personal understandings. Of course, I have read other film reviews to have some deeper and different understandings. In the end, I still love this movie!
