The second film review I officially wrote to myself, first two or three nonsense.

I am a person who is used to being spoiled, but not completely spoiled. I am used to knowing the ending directly before deciding whether to watch the movie or not. Although this will reduce the sense of surprise about the ending, it does not prevent me from discovering the wonderfulness during the viewing process. For me, it is more reassuring to know the ending in advance, and then concentrate on finding other good things in the movie. place.


(The following content contains spoilers, watch with caution)

Terry's character is lively and outgoing. Although her marriage is full of depression and restraint, she still gives me a girly enthusiasm, and this contrast is one of the highlights of this movie in my opinion, and it is also more Makes me feel bad about Teri's ending. Teri shouldn't have died, this is a lament from outsiders at the passing of such a beautiful woman. Teri will die, she is like a breeze carrying the warm spring sun, blowing through the hearts of you and my spectators, but straight into Abigail's life, it is difficult to stay.

There was a hint in the movie that Teri was leaving. Terry's husband Finney has a very strong desire to control Terry. Here is a detail mentioned in the film. Every time Terry goes out, he will record a notebook where he goes, how long he goes out, and who he sees. Make a category of all the people Terry has been with. After Teri and Abigail's date, in a bedtime conversation that night, Finney was telling a county-wide report that the men in the county had poisoned his wife, and Terri ended up killing Finney. of poisoning. When Abigail secretly went to see Teri at night, she saw Terri's thin figure, "like a floating branch falling suddenly on a waterfall with a cliff", Finney had already had an affair with the two at this time. He was suspicious, but he was not sure about the object of his wife's affair. He thought that his wife was having an affair with Abigail's husband, Dale. At the second meeting, Finney recounted how he dealt with a dog that froze to death to his satisfaction, blaming a puppy for his misfortune rather than his own incompetence.

Compared with Teri, Abigail seemed more restrained. Before the feelings of the two were completely clear, Abigail felt, but she was not sure, she was both brave and conservative. The two kissed for the first time. Although Teri was the first to show their feelings, it was Abigail who really took the initiative to kiss. "I'm afraid the cold will catch you" "You smell like cookies", Abigail's romance is self-taught. The feeling of "surprise and joy" revolved in her mind. The lines were emphasized three times here. She experienced the joy of love for the first time, so that she repeatedly recalled that she did nothing in the dark. If Teri is like a gust of spring wind, Abigail is the petals that dance when the wind passes. She laughs and shudders. She loves the gentleness of the spring wind, but she is also afraid of the scattered land after the wind passes.

Before watching the movie, I also habitually went through the reviews and saw someone say that when the two are together, the light and shadow of the movie are always bright and soft. So I also observed this in the process of watching the movie. The light and shadow of the scene where the two get along is gradually brighter and warmer as the protagonist's affection deepens. In the two heroines' respective family scenes, it is dark and cold. Light and shadow are one of the languages ​​of the film. The repression that Abigail and Terry suffered in their respective families can only be relieved a little when they face each other who are in mutual communication. The light changes when the movie scene changes suggest this. The fire and the second reunion of the two families changed from bright to cool colors. Teri moved away and left. Abigail's mood was low again, but she always remembered Teri.

The drama of the cage appears joyful in the play, but no one loves the reality of losing freedom. The love between the two is like a bird that has briefly left its cage. The moment of liberation is beautifully close to unreal and extremely short-lived. Regarding the ending, Abigail created a dream for herself, and this dream was like a prison. She kept her love forever in her own world, and locked her real self there. "The world to come (the future is coming)", for Abigail, her future with love is coming, and finally, the future without Terry is coming.

The pen power is limited, and the viewing quality needs to be improved. Thank you to every audience who can see here!
