The apple core sprouted, the bridge fixed, and you're gone

A completely feminine theme movie, I was completely unfamiliar with it before I watched it. At first, it was Martin Scorsese that caught my attention. Later, I read the introduction. Well, it was my dish. I thought it would be "Marriage Story" 2.0. After that, it reminds me of "Manchester by the Sea", which I have revisited three times in 2016, the same mourning, the same warmth, the same fiery...

In the first half hour, Martha's natural childbirth scene has a strong sense of substitution, which deeply captures me, so warm. The pain and joy of childbirth, and the beauty of the long lens, brought me back to life after working for thirteen hours at home and looking for a little comfort in bed. I felt a touch of warmth pouring into my quilt, and my soul was comforted. The sweetness of the young couple made me look forward to a happy life again!

After that, there are all kinds of trivial matters in life, conflicts with her husband and mother, and Martha's attitude is self-paralysis, escape, everyone has their own thoughts, and they are unwilling to share with others, or people I can't forgive. is himself.

With Martha's smile at the end, everything was put down. Personally, I think it would be better without that smile.

The apple core that Martha was longing for finally sprouted, and the bridge built by her husband has also been repaired. It was originally planned that the newly born daughter would be the first to cross the bridge, but the person is no longer there, and the husband has returned to Seattle, perhaps somewhere. small town. (this is the best ending in my opinion)

    In the first half hour, from the joy of welcoming the arrival of life to the despair of accepting the tragedy, the emotional contrast brought about by it made a very beautiful but also comparable to the "tiger head" opening. But the story gradually goes back to the (imaginary) way of life that imitates marital trauma and "grief processing X steps". Martha, who is trying not to be defeated, is trapped in the pain of childbirth, restrained by the expectations around her, and uses her own methods. Learn to breathe again, become yourself again... but it seems that the design that has been carefully laid before is a bit of a waste. Vanessa Kirby's performance is worthy of praise, but Iliza Shlesinger, who jumped from stand-up comedy here to complete a surprise transformation, and Ellen Burstyn, who has written complex emotions and is young, all the actresses have formed the best "pieces" in their respective positions. ”, which fits the excellent performance homework.

    I thought that the bitterness and hatred did not turn out. Although it is called "Women's Fragments", it is not only about women, but the process of a person's self-reconciliation, self-healing and regaining control of himself. Vanessa Kobe and Shia LaBeouf's story The characters are all very distressing, and they play them well.
