I didn't want to write a movie review, but after watching it quietly, I still felt that I should say something.
As for the story, it is actually an ordinary life of a disabled and determined woman pursuing art, and it is not complicated. However, the strength and vitality displayed by Maud is very touching. Regarding her stingy and violent husband Everett, and their love, I don't want to make any comments. I can only say that the power of love may be really great in a sense. What impresses me more about this story is Maude's dedication and dedication to pursuing her dreams, her vitality that will not be knocked down by disabilities, and her consistent optimism, rather than her transforming a lonely, stingy guy into a person with There are warm people in romantic cells, because I really don’t think Lewis in real life is as warm as in movies: First of all, the reality is that Mo Di has never seen her daughter in her life, and Lewis did not help her find it. The director said this. However, the setting of finding a daughter in the movie is just their beautification of reality; secondly, the real Lewis is very, very stingy, and he does take all of Mo Di's money for himself (I think Mo Di earned it by painting Even if the money does not belong to Mo Di, at least the two should share it.) It is also all hidden under the floor, which indirectly led to him being killed by thieves in 1979 for keeping money and protecting money. I don’t think Lewis is the same. In the movie, he loves Mo Di so much. It's hard to say that his love doesn't have the element of love for money, and it's hard to say that he was good to Mo Di in his later years without any element of reliance on protecting his own wealth. What I say is just my personal opinion, and I do not accept those who come to see my film reviews after reading the sensational tweets on the official account, nor do I accept any form of persuasion. Only they themselves know the relationship between Moai and Moai. Everyone can have their own opinions on this. Anyway, I don't think their previous love is as good as advertised in the recent overwhelming "Mo Di" related articles.
Regarding the movie, to be honest, I personally feel that I am a little disappointed with the completion of "Mo Di". In some parts of the plot, the handling is blunt and some places jump more, but the editing is slightly procrastinated, not to mention that it is not as good as the previous release. This is a short and wonderful trailer, and it is even inferior to the director's old film FS in 2005. It has been said that it is a biopic before. I feel that it is also a love movie, but the biography is too little. In contrast, every piece of background music is unexpectedly touching, and every time I listen to it, I will cry, and the scenery presented in the movie is particularly beautiful, and it feels like every second is like a painting.
Of course, the actors are all excellent at acting, no matter the main character. Named for Sally's performance, as always. She has done a lot of homework in private for every role she has taken on, and she has been heartbroken. The audience threw a tear gas canister. However, in order to make way for "The Shape of Water" during the awards season, Sally gave up the PR of the film, which is a pity. This is the first time I've seen Ethan Hawke's work and I feel like he's an amazing actor too.
To add, there are 14 deleted clips in the DVD of "Mo Di". I personally feel that it is a pity to delete them. There are a lot of details explained in it. Some of the plot movies mentioned in the early introduction of the movie were actually filmed. It's a pity that the entire film has been deleted, no wonder the plot always feels incoherent and awkward when watching it. In addition to missing some key reminders, such as Mo Di mentioning her illegitimate daughter to others very early, there is also a lot less echoes and sublimation, which is really, very, very regrettable.
Regarding the rating, the heroine is Sally, I will give 5 stars, otherwise, at most 3 stars.
On the whole, this movie with a heartwarming content and a heart-wrenching actor is quite worthy of recommendation.
Finally, don't ask me for resources, I really want to see and buy the genuine DVD of "Mo Di". If you don't want to buy it, please go to the official account, online disk and other places to find it.
