What to do when someone loses their love

When your most beloved person suddenly dies in front of you, especially when you agreed to travel together a moment ago, you are full of sweet vision for the future.

What is your reaction?

Unacceptable, collapse and cry? Or is it disheartened, immersed in the good love of the past, unable to get out of the psychological haze?

Marina in the film has it.

Slightly different, her identity is a bit special: she is a transgender, and she is much younger than her boyfriend.

Therefore, everyone doubted her relationship with her boyfriend. The boyfriend's relatives and friends directly believed that she was coveting the man's property and even murdered her boyfriend.

All of a sudden, her boyfriend's ex-wife, son, and police officers with colored glasses appeared in front of her one by one: took her boyfriend's car, drove her out of the apartment, forced her to undergo a physical examination, and subjected her to various mental and physical examinations. humiliation.

When the police asked Marina for information, the camera used such a downward angle.

When the police threatened Marina for an examination, the camera shot was as cold and provocative as the police, without any warmth hitting Marina's body, and a strong sense of humiliation came over her face.

Marina endured everything, just because her boyfriend had promised her, let her mourn this relationship with silence and obedience.

Like an ordinary person, Marina just wanted to attend her boyfriend's memorial service. However, her boyfriend's relatives and friends were extremely surprised and angry when they faced Marina's arrival.

As an ex-wife, this woman was able to attend the memorial service of her ex-husband; as the most intimate lover, this woman was deprived of the right to appear at the memorial service of her ex-husband, how ironic.

Marina broke into the Orlando memorial service. When others stopped Marina, they said: Can't you understand their pain?

The funny thing is, when they heard the news of Orlando's death, the first reaction of his relatives and friends was to rush to get the car, house and dog. When everything was in hand, they sat down calmly and prepared for the memorial service. As Orlando's closest friend, Marina, who should have been the most painful person, was blocked from the door.

There are several times in the film that Marina is punching in the air, trying to overthrow the plight of life, those who make things difficult and torture her. These venting punching scenes, which often occurred when she felt powerless and painful, showed her inner pain and anger.

And Marina endured the humiliation that others brought her because of this relationship, just because she always believed that she was a loved one. Even if his lover left suddenly, his love for her never diminished. Under the waterfall in the distance, the two of them should have been standing.

However, at the customer's prompt, she still wanted to find out what the lover's last relic key represented.

Does he still love me? In the restaurant, he agreed to go to Iguazu Falls together, but he left first. Does he really want to go with him?

Like all women in love, what she cares most about is whether the other party really loves her. Perhaps what she experienced in a short period of time after her lover's death made her, like everyone else, doubt whether the other party really loved her in this relationship. Are those promises and sweet words a lie?

She thinks of him when she washes the car, and thinks of him when she opens the safe. She seems to see him appear again in a dream, hugging and kissing, just like before.

Does the ticket really matter that much? Marina gave her own answer at the end. In any case, her feelings were real, and those good memories of her had actually happened, just like the tears of farewell she shed when she looked at the remains of her lover at the end.

There is no grievance, no resentment, only reluctance and farewell.

If the other person doesn't love you that much, is this why you need to give up on yourself? Obviously not. As a human being, in difficult situations, we are just constantly searching for ourselves, seeking love and being loved, and finally moving forward on the road of life with love.

Marina, who sang loudly, used her music to bring the audience back to that emblematic headwind scene. No matter how the storm hit her like a knife, it still couldn't stop her from moving forward.

"Ordinary Woman" continues the director's previous excellent shots and colors, restrained and delicate, presenting an independent and strong character in light and shadow.

Although dressed as a transgender person, the film still tells the story of a woman longing for love and looking for love, a woman who is too ordinary to be ordinary, so it is translated as "ordinary woman" (of course, it also has an alias "A Fantastic" Woman").

Although the film is a LBGT theme, it does not emphasize Marina's transgender process or the story of her encounter with her lover in content. The director's lens is even less curious and onlookers, and the narrative is also different from other popular LBGT films. The story is so dramatic. Transgender, like last year's other hit "The Tight Slits of Life", is about the daily life of transgender people after transgender.

And using transgender people to deduce transgender people is also a very interesting choice.

"Ordinary Woman" focuses only on an ordinary woman like Marina who suddenly lost her lover. Apart from the gimmicks of transgender people, it is just the bitterness and sweetness of ordinary life.

    It's really good, the characters are real and believable, not the heroine, but every character around her, like the lover's ex-wife said, let's handle this like a civilized person. Everyone (except the son who is emotionally out of control) shows respect for her while it is difficult to hide the contempt from the bottom of the heart, which is the truest situation of contemporary LGBTQ.

A Fantastic Woman quotes

  • Profesor de Canto: Saint Francis says, Make me an instrument of your love, make me a channel of your peace.

  • Sonia: [to Marina] Sorry if it's crude and blunt of me to say this, but I really think that this is just perversion. Sorry, but... When I look at you, I don't know what I'm seeing. A chimera, that's what I see.

    Marina Vidal: A chimera... yeah.

    Sonia: Sorry.

    Marina Vidal: There's no need to be sorry. You're normal, ma'am. You're fine, ma'am.
