A shattered despair, about violet.

Before I watched it, I was also looking forward to this "comedy" film, because I probably knew that "August" was also one of the mainstream Oscar competitions this year, and the cast list was even more amazing, so I won't say more. Holding this expectation, I curled up in the bed and watched it from after one o'clock in the morning, looking at itouch on the small screen, "August" little by little dedicates the extremely inexplicable depression and loss to what I originally brought with me. Looking forward to the heart of the comedy plot.
Obliterating all the fresh and cheerful tones, the winter-like withered yellow and the deadness of the old house come to the face, and every moment is mixed with extremely inexplicable depression and loss.
"Happy families are all alike, but unfortunate families are unfortunate in their own way." This family in Osage County, the old restless, the big dishonest, the small disobedient, almost everyone has a heart in their hearts. A jug of resentful and restless water just waiting to boil.
The more people want to numb their hearts, the more painful they are, and the more they want to forget the past in their minds, the more memories they will pursue, because once people pay too much attention to themselves, the easier it is to lose themselves. Violet, played by Madam May, is a poor and hateful mother who lives in the past, how she longs to go back to her youth, to speak to Beverly's madness in the opening of the movie; to talk about photos; to be dazed on the swing The ground confession revealed her attachment to the deformity of the past little by little, which is why she kept taking medicine and even taking drugs after she got cancer. The illness was not the root cause of what she did, but she wanted to escape, to escape that kind of life.
Mei Po's acting skills do not need to be praised. If the Oscar is not awarded to her, it only means that the judges hope to leave the crown of the actress to the middle and young generations, because Mei Po can reach the pinnacle in the handling of any subtle expression, and must not be Not to mention that Violet wanted to run away when Barbara played by Julia was staring into the distance in a daze. The old widow in black, wearing a wig and wearing black sunglasses, who was full of morbidity wanted to escape from her life, escape from everything she had, and take her with her. Running with a burdened body, that scene brought tears to my eyes and made me feel so deeply.
get away? Where to flee to? This is not Alice Munro's "Escape", Violet knew her end, just like in the end, she simply tore up this already complicated family, let her children leave Osage County with hatred and despair, never Come back, and she, once again, returned to the boundless daze of pretending to be crazy and selling stupid.
Fortunately, however, she has a maid who can snuggle.

    What kind of comedy is this, too cruel and sad, so many tears. This is after reading "The whole person is not good", and it will take several days to fix it. The family of the negative energy bombing shed, resentment and hate club platinum members, the tragedy is written in their genes, each other vents their malice, and kills goodwill, love and tenderness have nowhere to live, only to escape or tolerate under the marijuana leaf Vicodin. Aunt Mei, the most capable woman on earth, was covered in witch scenes and shocked the audience, sitting in the rhythm of the fourth figurine
