Aftermath

The film leaves too much blank space for the viewer. Such stories and emotions are neither tender nor cruel. They are merely narratives, not shouting or sorrowing, but just a presentation. Maybe death is really a kind of relief, when you think about the embarrassment that those dying people bring to relatives-you see, it is all about the sourness and indifference in our own hearts. But we must also wake up one day and find that their chests no longer rise and fall, and when the back of their hands is no longer warm, we tremble slightly and cover their mouths with our hands.

And what we have done for them may be to find the last psychological comfort of ourselves, or it may be our inertial reaction to the things we are about to lose. However, regardless of the definition, they finally touched me, after all, the two brothers and sisters have tried their best to do well. This Savage family of three, their love, is very irritable, neurotic, and depressed, but has the most delicate and true appearance, laying a hotbed for moving, we are willing to get caught.

Love has both bright and dark sides. Only when they are connected and correspond to each other can we achieve all of us.

Unlike the movie of the same subject, it tells the situation and experience of the family members of the mentally ill. So the focus of the film is on the two brothers and sisters. Compared with the two brothers and sisters, the portrayal of the old father is not particularly brilliant. The two brothers and sisters are both middle-class in life. They are not high, but ambitious, and they all have the stubborn temper and high-minded personality of an artist. With childhood wounds, in their respective lives, they can't see the exit. And the old father's condition gave them the opportunity to get together again. From then on, those details came one after another, surrounding them with a bitter taste, arguing, taking responsibility, and relieved until the morning when the old father died. They separated again, as they did in the past. Wendy was sitting on the returning train in a trance. At this time, she might have a hunch that another life was about to come.

I saw the meaning of the name of the film that a great man told us-"savages", "save age". Yes, save. Death saved the old father and the two brothers and sisters. When Jon saw the drama that his sister had finally compiled for their Savage family after all the hardships, he wiped his tears and finally decided to find his lover in Poland. And Wendy let go of his married lover, leaving behind his disabled bitch, and then ran on the sunny sunrise road with it, which was set up with an assisted device, and worked hard with it to regain its former health. Life.

I like this ending, the face of life should be like this: continue to smile with regret. We all know that love allows everything to survive, and everything in love survives.

Ps: The heroine's performance is simply perfect. The Oscars of the year were as unique as ever.

    080424. The night before yesterday, I watched it carefully, opened the beginning and the end, and thought it was good. Rewatched this morning, couldn't fall asleep and kept awake. Check it out at half past six in the morning. We all have our own opinions about old age.
