She was covered in dense thorns that spread like cancer.
Incomparably bitter and mean, she seemed to be trying to get attention from her family, but she did it in the wrong way, because she had nothing but thorns all over her body.
These thorns stem from her unloved childhood, from her eagerness to die in despair when she was thirteen, from the sense of security she never got from her mother. From all her taunted and shelved longings.
Decades later, she was curled up in the swing with her white hair and recalled the tattered work shoes her mother deliberately gave her when she was a child and still shed tears. When I saw this scene, I suddenly felt that this might be the most bitter and bitter tears in the whole movie.
This bitterness was deeply rooted in her character and became the way she behaved. She never trusted that anyone around her would love her, she never weakened, she had to wear the toughest armor and use her thorns to defeat an imaginary enemy. The eldest daughter asked her why she knew that brv was going to commit suicide instead of stopping brv and went to see the safe first. She suddenly lost control and shouted brv's name "who is stronger?! brv, who is stronger!" Never gave up on this war.
What kind of war is this? It is nothing more than using the dense thorns on the body as a weapon, and regards the opponent's little compromise as a trophy. The more she tried to control, the more unable to get love and warmth. In this war that was getting more and more lost, she did see how smart and majestic she was, "mum knows everything", but she did lose cleanly and eventually lost her husband's life. Having said that, the severe cold in her life may not be warmer than another life.
"The ability to love" is something she has never had before. Reminds me of Osamu Dazai's words "I'm sorry for being human".
People around her, even passers-by, would be ridiculed by her vicious tongue. Not to mention her husband and three daughters. They are all her victims. For a few moments it dawned on me that she treated her daughter like her vicious mother, and that her daughter might become more and more like her. Lack of love is something that spreads.
She is always lonely and cowardly, and her "mouth cancer" setting illustrates this problem. It is true that her speech is the most bitter and mean, but who understands her "my mouth is burning", her most hurtful place is also her weakest place.
