I have to feel that the director's thinking always precedes the times too much. At the end of the New York show, the male audience in their 40s and 50s leaned forward and looked confused, wanting to question but not knowing what to say, and wanting to criticize but could not find the source. The eighty or ninety-year-old grannies put forward their thoughts on the minutiae. The host officially put forward some proper nouns, and probably did not understand how this year's lively Cannes was shortlisted for this literary film that lacked a main line and failed in the end. The director and lead actor were also at a loss and couldn't communicate with the audience.
So I thought about it for a day, watched another movie, got used to the director’s style, and ventured to guess that this is a movie about women and maternal love. Art is critical and questionable. Does the most unquestionable maternal love really exist? Does the most indisputable mother-child relationship really exist? When female scientist Alice decides to kill her product little joe, is there still love at that moment? Was the words uttered when I was helplessly converted and the act of sending my son away, was it affected, or did I finally liberate my heart? Is the ultimate happiness of old scientists getting rid of attachments because of pollen absorption? If there is the only unbreakable cage in the world, it is probably the moral bondage of being a mother. Under the angry criticism of the original family by the male-perspective director and the mainstream of the society, the female director chose this as a starting point and gave women another way of expression, which is really admirable.
It is humorous that the director puts many traditional visual expressions of women on the male characters in the play. Broken thoughts, the male protagonist who preached gossip in the office, the passive aggressive and exquisite self-interested male boss, the male assistant who never lean in, turned from willful violence resistance to the gentle resistance to his parents son. These deliberately imperceptible gender transitions, compared with extremely well-behaved girlfriends, dressed up as high-profile and sexy psychologists, can not help but make people imagine what the world will be like when pollen spreads all over the world and the world is filled with femininity. . Today when women's rights are in power, the director is also reminding that objective and extreme women's rights are also dangerous. Mysterious Japanese music like cats everywhere, rotating and non-linear surveillance cameras, the first dog to be executed.
Pretending to be happy to hide yourself is not the most obvious mother's confusion? The heroine of Cannes is worthy of her title, and she is also dedicated to the female director.
