Rui is very good-looking and hates her words. It reminds me of Xiaofang with thick braids in the Coen Brothers Western. I don't know if it is the same actor. She looked slick and a little baby fat, not like someone who lived in this environment, and began to wonder if the director had picked the wrong actor. Looking at the people around her, it seems that the director still knows what to write on the faces of the poor. The question is how to have peach-like expectations for the role of Rui.
Looking back, I slowly realized that this actor was still well-chosen. One of the general principles of the film is that people living in such an environment cannot have the idea of relying on anyone. Family, friendship, the government, the army, and even the underworld can't be directly relied on. From the beginning of the movie, it is mentioned that you should not open your mouth to ask for it if others don't give it. Although these words came from Rui's mouth, her own practice was to go directly to the door to ask for someone. Rui was considered to have reached all the gates, but unfortunately ended up in a bloody situation. However, when she really became hard-hearted, she had the power to turn the originally hostile relatives, friends, underworld, and white people into factors that benefited her, and even her dead father also had Give her room to help. I just read the comments and some people said that the film is not deep enough. I guess I saw it as a real movie. I think this film is symbolic. So there are quite a few organs in there. If the father who never appeared is regarded as the "backer", then the process of how the beautiful chick becomes the hideous aunt has become the path to be shown in this movie. This process can be tested in countless themes in life, so this movie has a philosophy of being universal.
Even so, this film still gives the impression of a dark and realistic style. The American winter is shot like that of the United Kingdom, and there is no sunlight at all, which can make people suffer from depression. The actor's performance is very low-key, and sometimes it feels like a documentary rather than an entertainment film. When watching this film, you must choose the right mood: first, you really don’t know how to pity yourself, and when you need to find comfort in the suffering of others, you will find it interesting to watch this film, otherwise it is normal to not watch it. The second is that when you can find the rhythm that excites you from being unhurried, you can watch it bit by bit. After all, horizontal stripes can't grow in a short, flat and fast way. The bitterness and hatred must be embedded in the texture to have flavor.
I don't always enjoy such slow-paced movies, but when I watched it today, it just happened to be okay. Maybe it's because the positive energy has been absorbed a lot these days. Watching this movie just balances out a big chunk. After reading it, I returned to the equilibrium point and became a middleman.
