"Yangcheng Evening News" September 25th version A5 report

If you just put "Mom! 》 It is defined as a female movie, then it has underestimated its value. Although the film is "all -female class" from the director to the starring actors, the female perspective is only a table. The repair of life itself and the sense of dignity of life are its inside.

"Mother! "At first glance, it is the story of a daughter who takes care of her mother, mother and cares. In a family who lacks a father, the 85 -year -old widowed mother and 65 -year -old daughter are dependent on each other. At the beginning, the awkward was the older mother. As an old intellectual who is still active in thought, she is trapped in a body that is everywhere. The disadvantage of the soul and the body made her dissatisfied with the status quo, and her resistance was to show various unsuccessful care of her daughter's care. She insisted on living in a state when she was young, smoking and drinking but not taking medicine.

A small conflict showed the different attitudes of the mother and daughter to the old. When I saw my mother climbing and looking for a book, the daughter specially wrote a note and posted it on the bookshelf to remind: "Climbing high will die." The mother also wrote a note: " ","

The daughter chased her mother's "management" day, and she changed her daughter after she found that Alzheimer's illness. The strength of the strong work did not persist for too long. The burden of her daughter as the backbone of the family was quickly picked up by her mother. The original willfulness of the latter is actually mainly derived from the "useless" of himself, but now he is useful, and the mother has an amazing vitality. In the movie, she even made a "word horse" when she exercised to show the huge changes in her essence.

Many audiences are moved by the cubs of "every mother is a mother wolf", but many people also said that the mothers and daughters excessively written in the film hindered their emotions that they substituted. For example, after finding that she was sick, she sent her mother to the nursing home temporarily. At that time, my mother asked her: "What should I understand? Is it abandoned or punished?" The daughter replied, "Is it help." When the daughter's condition became increasingly serious, the lines of the film became more poetic. For example, she would say, "Did you change or I changed? You understand me as well as a green pepper. My understanding of you is not as good as a petal."

Looks like "Mom! 》 The literary tendency of the text runs counter to the trend of the current family film. But I feel that this is exactly the uniqueness of this work. The creators deliberately raised the economic conditions and education levels of the two protagonists so that they had less "external interference" that they suffered when facing the predicament of life. In other words, the director and screenwriter Yang Lyan provided a "standard sample" when women faced diseases and aging, which also brought the audience a more pure experience and thinking about this topic.

From this perspective, compared to the mother, the daughter is the real fall of this issue. Because this character has neither his wife or mother, only the identity of the born daughter. The disease caused her self -awareness to gradually disappear, to a certain extent, which was a more terrifying "death". The film uses the mother's perspective to show her daughter's fear, confusion, pain, and self -liberation of self -salvation and self -liberation in this process. The audience's experience of this process is limited to gender and age.

Compared with ordinary family movies, "Mom! "Also left a lot of unsatisfactory meaning. For example, why is the personality of the mother and daughter very different? As the condition breaks her daughter's rigorous and restraint, a past with a background with a special era has also been revealed. At this time, if you look at the different states of the intellectuals of the mother and daughter, you can realize that the creator really searches the roots for the role. From this point, "Mom! 》 It is closer to the real work than some surface -to -ground works.

"Mother! 》 I could have been shot more sensational, but the director did not do so. She has neither over -rendering her mother and daughter when she is facing a desperate situation and pain, nor is she limited to the mother and daughter affection of "only mothers in the world". This kind of close connection derived from blood, even though they gave them a powerful weapon to defeat the dilemma of life, but "Mom! 》 I also did not forget to show the feelings and thinking of two women as independent individuals.
