Be kind, but please be sharp

Everyone has a weak side in their lives. In the face of self-interest, people's weaknesses are often exposed, but it is obvious that Otilia is more willing to give. She is not a born warrior, she just doesn't want to bow her head in front of human nature, but kindness without edge is just a bottomless pit. The dreary long takes, the bleak dark tones and the massive central composition make the whole film extremely depressing, and the characters in this design are more like being thrown into the endless turbo and suffocating. Otilia's selfless dedication made her an accomplice in killing her life, which also became a permanent shadow in her heart. The child died three weeks and two days in April, but she still lived in every life after the two of them. Second. Gabita's selfish and foolish actions and Otilia's benevolent devotion will make them contemplate their lives for this. The elders' rhetoric and her boyfriend's evasive remarks are the ugliness of human nature that are constantly putting pressure on Otilia's kindness. She can endure it, but at most a few complaints and one person's tears. In the face of desire and bad luck, no one can escape the weakness in her heart. When she is looking for a destination with a dead baby in her arms, she is also doing cruel things because of her kindness. The result of selfless dedication is silence and escape at the dinner table. The film came to an abrupt end when it came to an abrupt end, drawing a dark cessation of all encounters. In the end, Otilia's encounter was a hollow, sinking like a dead body.

Whether it is a moving or still long shot, as well as a large section of dialogue, there is no dullness at all, and the living conditions of ordinary people in a society it focuses on are always the most unadorned but clearly art-treated truth.

    #SIFF2017# Stalin's socialism is patriarchal. The ability to shoot a history of the times with a small view. In addition, there is the director's meeting place. The director answered all the "(I didn't encounter problems during the filming, because) Romania is relatively poor, but it is a free country", "This film reflects the revolution through the story of abortion. In the past, the dictatorship was correct and the society was deformed.” The translation of such words will not be ignored. I hit you...
