Family, unspeakable love and pain

At the beginning, it was Kym's irritable smoking shots. The gray tone and super fast speech made people feel anxious and urgent. Anne Hathaway has short yellowish hair, dark eye sockets, and a little too white cheeks. The exhausted days of recovery for several years made her want to go home crazy, but the guilt and self-blame that she couldn't let go of in her heart made her hope that the world would be vacuumed.
I like the scene of Kym coming home. My ears are filled with melancholic but persistent music from far to near, although I can't name the instrument. The film is almost always accompanied by a kind of strange music, sometimes slow and sometimes cheerful, from chaotic preparations to after-wedding carnivals, trying to create a unique atmosphere of joy for the wedding, but it also successfully highlights Kym's Out of place and lonely. The camera swayed into his unfamiliar home as Kym staggered, really shaking. Many people don’t like film photography, but I think the family DV-style focusing and shaking give people a strong sense of reality. The quarrel between sisters under those shaking shots is so shocking, as if an atomic bomb exploded in front of your eyes. The real and shocking.
Who is the bridesmaid is the fuse of the family battle. The peace and harmony before it seems so ridiculous now again. In fact, there are some doubts about the American-style hugs and kisses on the cheeks among those family members. After the two sisters say the most hurtful words, will the hugs and kisses again really relieve the previous suspicion?
I like the toasts of everyone on the wedding rehearsal, except Emma’s. I hate her face, and don’t like her to intervene in other people’s family affairs. I always feel that friends in the true sense should only need shoulders and comfort when they are sad and sad. It is always unwise to impose one's own ideology on another family. I can understand the humor and jokes in Toast, and I yearn for those that I don’t understand. I hope that I can really participate in an American wedding. It must be a good memory.
The most complicated thing in the world is feelings. Love, friendship, family affection, every kind of emotion can involve the smallest hair tip of the body. Once there is a problem with family relationship, and because of its inherent blood bond, it is impossible to choose right and wrong.
Kym's family must have had its very harmonious and happy day. However, there was a time when the parents divorced and formed a new family. The mother always appeared in front of the two daughters beautifully and tenderly, just like the day of Rachel's wedding rehearsal. The father was busy all day making hot dogs and sandwiches with nice names, and yelling with his new son-in-law to put out plates, always so energetic, until one day the sisters' quarrel made the elderly father so painful and contorted and at a loss. And the younger brother of Kym and Rachel, the younger brother Ethan who only appeared in their quarrel, sadness and repentance, is the eternal pain in the hearts of every member of this family. Kym is responsible for his brother's death, because she ate a lot of tranquilizers and caused the car to lose control and cause an accident. But who can tell whether the pain of mom, dad and sister is deeper or Kym's self-blame is deeper? I am afraid there will never be an answer. Because they are a family, there is no power to modify when things happen, and there is no backspace button in life, and no one-click restoration. Kym said she could be Mother Teresa, but it didn't help what she did. Memories hurt the most. Those scars that have been deposited for many years have grown thick scabs, and now they are pulled apart one by one, revealing the tender flesh and blood inside. Everyone, including Kym, hates themselves deeply, but what can they do? It's just all those fighting, screaming...
I saw Kym still show up at Rachel's door on the morning of the wedding. I was exhausted and embarrassed. I was still very happy, but there was a big question mark in my heart. After that quarrel and sadness, it was really Can you face it calmly? American movies sometimes affect people's judgment. In fact, I really hope that I can make as many mistakes as Kym did, and say that hurtful words can be treated with a smile again. But in reality, this seems to be unworkable. I am a person who believes in cracks. It is difficult to smooth out the cracks in my heart. There is only time. But I have only lived in this world for more than 20 years. In fact, I have no say in the matter of many years, but I just believe it stubbornly. Maybe the film is just telling people to boldly say what they want in their hearts, to communicate, whatever.
The end of the film is a bit complete, and the music starts to liven up. On the second day of the wedding, Kym left again, and Rachel watched her go, turning around with a smile. During the three-and-a-half-day wedding, everyone in the family has undergone a baptism in body and soul. The camera finally stopped on Rachel looking at the band playing in the distance. For a long time, I don't know what she was thinking, just let you guess.
In this way, family affection, there are too few things that can be said.

Rachel Getting Married quotes

  • [Kym speaks at a twelve-step meeting]

    Kym: When I was sixteen, I was babysitting my little brother. And I was, um... I had taken all these Percocet. And I was unbelievably high and I... we had driven over to the park on Lakeshore. And he was in his red socks just running around in these piles of leaves. And, um, he would bury me and I would bury him in the leaves. And he was pretending that he was a train. And so he was charging through the leaves, making tracks, and I was the caboose, and I was, um... so he kept saying, coal, caboose! Coal, caboose! And, um, we were... it was time to go and I was driving home... and... I lost control of the car. And drove off the bridge. And the car went into the lake. And I couldn't get him out of his car seat. And he drowned. And I struggle with God so much, because I can't forgive myself. And I don't really want to right now. I can live with it, but I can't forgive myself. And sometimes I don't want to believe in a God that could forgive me. But I do want to be sober. I'm alive and I'm present and there's nothing controlling me. If I hurt someone, I hurt someone. I can apologize, and they can forgive me... or not. But I can change. And I just wanted to share that and say congratulations that God makes you look up, I'm so happy for you, but if he doesn't, come here. That's all. Thank you.

  • Rachel: Kym, you took Ethan for granted. Okay? You were high for his life. You were not present. Okay? You were high.

    Kym: [Whispering] Yes.

    Rachel: And you drove him off a bridge... and now he's dead.

    Paul: [Tearfully] Rachel, it was an accident.

    Kym: Yes, I was. Yes, I was stoned out of my mind. Who do I have to be now? I mean, I could be Mother Teresa and it wouldn't make a difference, what I did. Did I sacrifice every bit of... love I'm allowed for this life because I killed our little brother?
