I don't think this can be said on the table in China.

At that time, when the film was released, it involved the subject of underage abortion, which made most people think it was the main theme movie, but I don't agree with this point of view. The director adopts the narration method of line drawing and the long-lens shooting method to realistically open up the various difficulties encountered by the two cousins ​​on the journey to the operation from the perspective of a third party.

What impresses me most about the whole movie is the medical staff, who should provide preoperative consultation for each patient undergoing surgery, and give each patient due help, and conduct investigations on personal emotional issues, taking the choice of four options Questions to answer the test questions: never, rarely , sometimes , always.

In the past year, has your sex partner refused to wear a condom?

Is your sexual partner getting in the way of contraception, or trying to get you pregnant when you don't want to?

Has your sexual partner threatened or intimidated you?

Has your sexual partner slapped you, slapped you, or physically harmed you in other ways?

Has your sexual partner ever forced you to have sex with you against your will?

Has anyone forced you to have sex with you since you were born? yes or no?

I believe that no one will face the above six questions in China. Even when you are lying on the operating table, no one will ask you or care about you. With the heightened awareness, I think every woman should listen to her inner voice, perceive her own feelings, touch her, and accept her, instead of choosing to escape or be silent, indifferent, and passive. It's true feminism.

    It's really like a variant of "Three Weeks and Two Days in April", but it lacks the Mongi-esque social background laying, and focuses more on women's suffering before sexual violence and abortion, but it's well shot - no The plot of dog blood, instead, expresses in a smooth and unwavering way how this painful problem penetrates into daily life; underage women are especially prone to fall into the weaker side of the body and economy, and everything is unbearable in "Never, rarely, Sometimes, always" appears, which is distressing. The mutual assistance between women is a touch of warmth in the world; the boy who strikes up a conversation with the second woman complements the theme on the side.

    When Skylar had to sacrifice his color to exchange for the return ticket, the two girls hooked their fingers gently, probably the most heart-piercing scene in the whole film. Although the ubiquitous but cold "help" makes people feel that there is no genuine care for the "fallen girls" in this society, it seems to be a complex emotion that is deeply rooted in people's hearts to sympathize with but contempt for this group. After all, a person who has received a higher education can become a heathcare professional, how can he really understand the heart of a girl who is about to have an abortion before graduating from high school? In the end, they are the only ones who can help them.
