In "Another Year", Mike Leigh used a bland narrative technique to describe birth, aging, illness, and death. In the film, with the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, Mary, who is full of spring, talks about her beautiful days in the restaurant. In summer, everyone meets at Tom and Jerry's barbecue party, Tom and Jerry's son Joe. Bringing back a new girlfriend in the fall will undoubtedly break Mary's heart; winter welcomes the death of Tom's brother's wife. You look at them, one by one, they are defeated by life, overthrown, conquered, and no one can escape. That summer night, the bitter weeping from the sorrow is the last whimper of the old man.
Among them, the most embarrassing and reluctant part is Mary, who is like an outsider at all times and everywhere. She almost runs through the whole film. Through her, you seem to have entered a happy family by mistake. Out of place, with nowhere to go and no way out of a self-imposed frame, like a child staring at candy in a candy store glass window.
You envy the happiness of others, you envy the happiness of others, the focus of your life is wrong, it is outrageous, you can't see your own position, you can't see yourself clearly, so Gerui said, "This is my family. "It's so cruel, I slapped Mary who woke up with unrealistic fantasies until the very last moment.
