Restoration on the way to growth

After watching this movie, I realized that there is still the concept of "birth at home", and it is even advocated. I always thought that this only existed in the old times, or a small remote and sparsely populated village, which was properly educated by the film.

I can understand the pain and unwillingness of the child's death in the arms of the heroine: I thought that after the pain of giving birth, everything would be fine, but within a few minutes, I was faced with the death of my daughter; The changed partner, the pain in the heroine's heart cannot be comforted. Everyone is using their own way to think how the heroine should be, and no one has listened to the real voice of the heroine. There has never been a scene where the heroine hugged and cried with them, and only saw tears of anger left in the argument between the heroine and them.

The reason for the feeling that the heroine has been depressed is not only the pain of losing her daughter, but also the self-doubt caused by her mother. The mother's sentence "If you follow my way, now your child is in your arms" is simply a pain point for the heroine, and the heroine is also caught in whether the failure of her own choice leads to the death of the child. (Although to a certain extent, I really can't understand why the heroine made this decision? Speaking of how dangerous it is to give birth, and it is still in the case of inexperienced first child) Also, the mother has not been Loving her partner has deepened the heroine's doubts about her ability to choose to a certain extent. (This point, I actually don't quite understand why the heroine chose this partner. It feels like a strong woman and a weak man. It is estimated that the heroine is because of the superior family environment since she was a child and has always been rescued by her mother. Is it more important than bread?! When the male protagonist is in good condition, he can indeed help the female protagonist and give up smoking and drinking for the baby. However, when experiencing difficulties, he always vents his pain and ignores the emotions of taking care of the female protagonist; Also cheated because of unsatisfied lust!!! But I feel that the heroine should not know)

People always have to experience to learn to grow. The process is indeed painful, but as long as it changes, everything will be fine!

    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.
