In fact, the first time I heard the name of "The Invisible Woman", I immediately thought of "The Invisible Woman".
Although the movie seems to say that sisters can't see each other's lives, in the final analysis women are still "invisible", like the mother of the two sisters, who are vassals of men.
As the post-screening heroine said in an interview, for Euridice, getting married is nothing more than completing a task.
Is there love with husband Antenor?
I don't think so.
Euridice is the epitome of thousands of women. It has nothing to do with nationality, era, past or present. The mainstream society's education for women is to give husbands and children - "Do you want me to be a housewife?".
As for the realization of Euridice's personal value? Who cares but herself and her dear sister Guida?
There is only one sentence left by her daughter, "Isn't that her dream?"
As for Euridice, Guida is actually like the other side of her soul's publicity and tenacity.
And when they learned of Guida's death, Euridice said that their father murdered Guida. Isn't that the father who murdered Euridice?
Euridice, who burned the piano, died from the moment he decided to never play the piano again.
Euridice, who is biologically alive, is a wife, a mother, and a daughter, but not herself.
Looking back at all of Guida's actions, it is the story after Nora left.
Euridice, who did not "run away", and Guida, who "run away", are the two extremes of women's life choices.
And whether they run away or not, under the patriarchal society, what awaits them must be the end of their demise.
(I heard from the curator that this film was premiered in China, almost simultaneously with Brazil, I hope there will be more films like this!)
