The beautiful and splendid Nora, surrounded by the halo of doting, is ready to visit her old father with the best state and gifts (the sexualized "Leda and the Swan"), while the thin and wretched Isamel has tried her best to win a card for herself. Entrance ticket to a mental hospital. This is the bizarre, unrelated message that the author gives the audience.
If this were a typical Hollywood family comedy, there would be gimmicks and exaggerations that would force the audience to open their mouths with clips and cramp your facial muscles until you nod and admit that the movie was funny. . But it's so black that if you don't have enough experience watching the movie, your mouth will open and your muscles will cramp, and you will be stunned by the author.
Regarding Nora, the most thrilling time was not when Nora learned that her father was terminally ill, but when she saw the manuscript of the book that her father had written before his death--she even complained with great dissatisfaction about this good daughter in the eyes of others, her father wrote this : I want you to die for me. Nora hid these confessions and burned them at an unknown time. This great secret, together with Pierre, who was provoked by her words and committed suicide, was locked in Nora's heart and will accompany her throughout her life. Nora doesn't believe in the Lord, she doesn't pray, she has so many people who love her, but she can't open her heart to anyone (including the Lord), and Nora will be punished with a heavy burden for life.
And after Ismael was discharged from the hospital, he learned a series of truths that were even more absurd than entering a mental hospital. His freedom and work were deprived by his jealous brother violinist. His sister hated his self-assertion and arranged for her Taking a path he really doesn't want to take, he has nothing in his emotional world. Fortunately, he was liberated by his kind and upright father (compare him and Nora's father), whose calm and openness in dealing with sudden changes in life deeply influenced Ismael in confusion. He starts all over again, gets a job, and confesses to the sweet little Arielle a love he's been afraid to say because of his age; he confesses to Elias that he can't pretend to be his father, because in fact he's not. He also tells Elias that having a secret is an asset, but it shouldn't be a burden, and he hopes that Elias, who is introverted, will get rid of his and Nora's protection and open himself up to the wider world, so that life will be a little happier. Somehow, Ismael is helping Elias to prevent him from repeating his mother's mistakes.
Unexpected changes in life may occur at an unknown time, which can catch people by surprise. Before you know it, you may make mistakes, but in many cases, whether it is Nora or Ismael depends on your personal choice. remaining rights.
The progress of the film is very interesting. It is constantly interspersed, and the time of the inserted clips of the same character is reversed. In this case, it is equivalent to the relationship between Nora and a certain character, which will gradually enrich until the end. A secret that belongs to Nora and this person is finally revealed, and Nora will become a person from a starting point at the end (this starting point is Ismael at the beginning, selfish, disregarding the feelings of others, disgusting).
