The film alternates between the first and the third, and is mainly narrated from the standpoint of Hubert. The opening chapter is the tone I like, the cult has a close-up and a strong symbolism, watching my mother eat full of cream (the food does not look tempting, and she is tasting it carefully, the image of the incisive mother is shaped out of the sky) ) mouth, I can probably think of why he would kill Mom. In the first half, I deeply sympathized with the protagonist. With such a mother on the stall, I can’t remember what I said, I, watching soap operas, talking to TV, playing Solitaire, and eating are always on my lips. It was Hubert's expression of his mother's love that made me interested in this woman, because it's not just because of the blood, it's not a natural enemy, it's the fatigue of two individuals who have to live together and have to constantly compromise. , because love doesn't make trivial things melt in the moment. But the mother did not ask her son to live according to his own will, such a lonely woman, let herself seem to be living well. Having a successful career, buying all the pretty things to decorate her home, going to the sunbathing, cutting cakes herself even when her son runs away, she's been making foam to protect herself. She doesn't want to entrust all of herself to her son. She is actually an enlightened woman. She knows that she and her son are also independent individuals after all, and will live separately until they are in different worlds. In the most youthful years, Yu Beier began to dislike her mother who was going to old age, began to disagree with her, and disliked her long-windedness. But still want to protect her.
In the middle and back end, I feel more and more that most of what my mother does is reasonable, and some such as forgetting what she said, such as being impatient and being angry, such as sometimes being a bit embarrassing, such as you think her clothes Shit, she thinks what the hell you're doing is called art, so what? She's just getting old, she's just a human being, how can she have no flaws, she's also an individual with her own perspective and preferences, she's just different from the perfect mother in our hearts and memories. Just like the scene of the chaos, no matter how hard you try, how can you catch the mother who is chasing the past time. I was surprised that his mother never questioned him about being gay, and it made her sad that she was not the person her son trusted the most. Also, I'm happy that he didn't paint the gay thing, but that scene in the newspaper with painted hands and sex was still very tasty. He may feel that his mother can't accept it, or he may have never thought about telling his mother, in order to escape the quarrel at the beginning of the film, and it is just for a small matter. In the monologue, he said, "I don't think she wants to have me at all, it's just because people want her to do it, get married, have children, which is what society expects from women." Maybe because he doubted that his origin was The mother's compromise to the society, and the homosexuality, how to accept the mother who values people's opinions so much. The cleverness of Dolan's creation is that the mother in his film doesn't look like many mothers, but there are so many grounded qualities that are exactly the same. Like when he yells angrily "what if I die tonight?", it's a question, but he doesn't rush for an answer when he says it. Mom said, "Tomorrow I will die too." The irreconcilable contradiction is because of love, the desire for love to depend on and dominate, and growth.
Finally, listening to Luis Mariano's Mama was still moved.
