no sense

Patiently, I finally finished watching this movie that has been downloaded for more than two weeks. Take a long breath first. . .
After all, the movie is really too long, why is it too long, that is, you can make up your mind and present a person's most daily activities in a complete and complete way with a large amount of time and film without any aesthetic feeling at all, and you can imagine it Are you bored? A shot of going home from a run will take a long time from beginning to end, and landscape documentaries are more interesting than this. The pace is really slow to the point that most people will give up the film halfway because it is too boring.
But fortunately, as a pure amateur movie fan who has experienced more than n similar movies, I personally feel that as long as there is a scene in a movie that irritates you even for a moment, it will make me think it is a good movie. If you can immerse yourself in that flaming plot or picture, and make you temporarily detached from reality, then even if the rest is completely worthless garbage, I will think this is a good movie.
It’s been a long time since I watched this kind of movie that is suitable for a person to watch in silence. It’s lengthy and there is no emotional ups and downs in the heart. To be honest, I don’t know what the director wants to express through this seemingly random piece of story. I don't care either, after all everyone is looking for what they want to see in a movie.
Just tell the third story. (No matter how you look at the other two, I really don't think it's interesting)
She is a simple ranch girl who takes care of horses on a large ranch. The repeated footage of the girl opening the stable door and driving the horse into the stable with an expressionless face alludes to the monotony and wordless loneliness of ranch life. In the huge pasture, there were only a few horses and a dog accompanying her. That intense loneliness can be deeply felt through the screen, not to mention how unbearable it will be when you are there. But after all, this is to prove that she is not the majority after all. When she first appeared in the camera in thick leather overalls and a wool cap, her out of shape figure really made you mistakenly think that this was just a burly and ordinary farm boy, but fortunately, Her delicate face is still reassuring, and there is a kind of beauty with its own special temperament (although I used to describe it as burly before I looked at her face), with no makeup, even in the most ugly clothes, people can feel it A rare unique. Sure enough, she accidentally stumbled into an elderly law class, and she fell in love when she first saw Stewart's elizabeth, who graduated from a common law school and had a low self-esteem from an ordinary family. However, it seems inappropriate to say "love". As an audience, I can feel this very strong and obvious emotion, but she is obviously trying her best to hide it, so it should be more accurate to say vague emotion. She goes to elizabeth's class every day, accompanies her to dinner, rides horses with her, and neither expresses nor further expresses her emotions. Just like and love. So, after elizabeth left quietly, the girl drove her battered truck from the dark suburbs to the brightly lit city overnight, sleeping in the truck all night in the cold weather, waiting for the end Find Stewart just to take another look at her. But knowing that this is really just the last time we met, and elizabeth didn't show any sign of crossing the line rashly to her, this unrequited love that had never started and had always existed only in one party's imagination ended without a hitch. A girl with a straight face and an out-of-shape body has never been so beautiful.
From the beginning to the end, the film is presented with the most everyday reality, describing the side that most people present the most in their lives - the dull emotion without any waves, and the ordinary life trajectory.
They, and everyone who left the country, just lived humbly, that's all.

    After three lunches, I got every story. The presence of men in this movie is greatly reduced, in other words, it should have a very small positive impact on the audience, a very pleasing experience. The film shows the feminine qualities that are often seen around: a female lawyer is compassionate, brave, tolerant, and has strong empathy, but she often wishes she was a male lawyer; Michelle's role is even more empathetic (because there are many people around me. The family is actually supported by women) Forbearance, self-discipline and self-examination, strong ability, bear the burden of the family, take care of the inside and outside, because the husband "is a teenager until death", but she also failed to get the understanding of her daughter; third A story, nothing to say, what kind of person is the modern master? It's Lara. All in all, most women are still thriving in such a tough situation; plus it's been feeling lately that maybe women can hold more than half the sky. (Jiaqun has finally started watching the golden frames after so long, uu don’t hit me?

    There are women who are mentally oppressed by clients at work, women who are despised and rejected in the family, and women who do not receive a response in their relationships. They have one thing in common, they all live cautiously but still thankfully. Director Kelly patiently conveys the plight and psychological activities of a certain woman through the lens. Although the film only shows the lives of three women, I believe that every woman can see a part of herself in it, and see the big from the small. Laura Dern is really suitable for being a lawyer, whether it's the domineering kind in "Marriage Story" or the submissive kind. The role of Twilight Girl being chased by the Ranch Girl is also well played, especially when she gets on the horse and the Ranch Girl suddenly appears embarrassed. The Ranch Girl's loneliness and sadness spread to the whole ranch.

  • Laura: It'd be so lovely to think that if I were a man I could explain the law and people would listen and say, "Okay."

  • The Rancher: Why were you afraid of selling shoes?

    Elizabeth Travis: Have you ever sold shoes?

    The Rancher: I mean, why were you afraid you couldn't get anything else?

    Elizabeth Travis: I don't know. Because my mom works in a school cafeteria, my sister in a hospital laundry. So, selling shoes is the nicest job a girl from my family's supposed to get.
