A stronger identity than a mother is to be a woman

Several times I wanted to give up a movie that I didn't watch... The first 30 minutes of the plot made me so worried, I repeatedly sighed in my heart: Why didn't you go to the hospital? ? ? Having a baby is so painful! ! ! Don't have children in the future... Everyone's coping mechanism is very different after the incident. The physical changes after pregnancy remind the heroine all the time what she has experienced and what she has lost. Obviously it should be the heaviest "loss" The client has always been emotionally restrained. I think there is no way to relieve the pain of the heroine's loss of the role of mother. There is no way to relieve it. You can only slowly accept the reality and digest the pain, but in this During the process, the people around her did not give her enough understanding and comfort. Everyone was telling her what to do with "for your own good". Every time the hostess's mother said "that's the right thing", I thought Tell her to shut up? Fortunately, the fierce dialogue between the mother and daughter at the back, the heroine shouted my heart...

In the name of sadness, my husband started drinking alcohol again, even cheating and taking drugs... This made me think again, and being too dependent on something might imply that this man's heart is very fragile and he needs to put himself His happiness rests on some kind of object, which may have been alcohol and drugs in the past. After having a heroine, it has become love, children... When the spiritual support he relies on collapses, he will be defeated.

Maybe everyone has their own way of healing. I still agree with the heroine's handling of emotions in the film. During the whole process, the heroine gave me the feeling that the emotions have always been forbearance. It is not that she is not sad but she does not know what to do. To release this emotion, and even a little confused, she can only continue to live and turn her attention to other places, such as cultivating apple seeds. The hope of life also came back.

I also appreciate the plot where the midwives are not held legally accountable at the end. Not passing on one's grief or anger to innocent people is a lesson that society needs to make up for.

    In a film led by an actor, the routine is relatively predictable, so the first half of the film was not very involved, but it still began to sink in when she was running in the snow.

    The use of audiovisual language (sensational means) to amplify "Fragments of Women" does not help this movie with strong political intent. Because in the context of empathy, it is possible for the audience to remain rational. Obviously, this is a private project carried out in the absence of both technological security and power supervision. As a bridge that connects the sexes and maintains harmony between the two sexes, this behemoth is always in the process of gestation and delivery. Regrettably, after the failure of the "Bridge Building Project", the world is left with only a mother surrounded by indifference and a father occupied by anger. In fact, two independent individuals living together were in a hostile state before the collapse of their beliefs. Obviously, the film did not provide us with evidence. It made us think that the conflict between husband and wife was due to the death of the newborn. As everyone knows, this long-divided world has nothing to do with the newly broken bridge. Therefore, the "civil war" caused by complicated historical issues cannot be solved by a single president. What needs to be vigilant is that women’s suffering should not be a means for artists to express their political demands, no matter how legitimate it is.
