Elegy

I admire this director so sharply, calmly and emotionally. The previous April was as fast and cruel as the Romania film, an event triggered thinking, but each other stopped abruptly. The film is always sharp, but people's emotional expression or people's psychological state are more expressed.
1. Twin flowers. The last time the film director still used the close connection between the two girls to unfold the story. This time the relationship between the two girls is more clear, from friendship to close connection in life. Is this a kind of female destiny or female in a patriarchal society? The way of survival is open to discussion. Still a tough as iron, a weak and uneasy, this combination is like the two extremes in personality.
2. Yarina's tragic song. A girl who is more man than a man, a girl who grew up in an orphanage, and a girl who has not been surrounded by family, naturally suffers a lot of hardships. I believe there must be a lot of male bullying, just like the girl in "Rosetta". However, she met someone who could comfort him and protect her at the same time. In this girl, Yalina found her presence and spiritual comfort. With her moody appearance, she can lie in the girl's tender embrace. What a beautiful picture. But change can come at any time, just as our hearts change at every moment of our lives, which is uncontrollable. The girl Yarina needed found another thing that she could enjoy and satisfy, but the paranoid Yarina wanted to change the girl back to the previous one. In fact, we all face this problem as we grow up. For example, friends, lovers, and relatives, we must all face their possible changes, and obedience may be the best way.
3. Still deserted colors, dead branches, and broken houses.
4. Regarding the suspicion of religious beliefs mentioned in the film, I haven't figured out how to say it.

    It has a larger pattern than April, three weeks and two days, but it does not expand the void on the subject of religion, which is easy to be dogmatic. Instead, it discusses the conflicts between religious belief and secular life in a smooth and popular way. Whether you believe it or not, it should not be a shackle that imprisons mankind. This film gives a positive argument at this point. And the power above it has been spreading out on the murmur narrative of the film, the same abrupt ending and silent power!

    Which film should get the Palme d'Or, it's obvious in this comparison. No matter what I say, it's going to be a spoiler anyway, not a minute is superfluous, not a single place is inappropriately handled
