Content introduction:

Generally speaking, a stable picture and bright colors are the basic conditions for the attraction of the film, but Lars, the director of this film, abandoned the fixed tripod and used hand-held photography to express the subjective color of real life, which is very emotional. It was this film that won the Oscar nomination in 20001year, the Best Music Song, the Palme d 'Or Award and the Best Actress Award in the 53rd Cannes Film Festival in 20001year, and it also won the Best Film and Best Actress Awards in the European Film Festival and the Danish Film Festival.

In fact, the story in the film is very simple: Selma, a Czech refugee suffering from hereditary eye disease and on the verge of blindness, came to the United States alone with her son (Gene) and lived in the van garage of the police bill's house. Shaman works in a factory that produces stainless steel sinks in a small town. In his spare time, he made money by processing hair clips and prepared his son 13 to have eye surgery. Samantha loves musicals very much. Listening to movies and attending the rehearsal of community musicals with her good friend Kathy are the happiest moments in her life. Samantha was fired from the factory because she had been hiding her eye disease for many days. When she got home, she found that Bill had stolen all her money. In the process of fighting for the wallet, the pistol went off, and the injured Bill took Samantha's hand and committed suicide. Samantha was arrested after sending her son to the hospital for surgery, and was sentenced to first-degree murder and hanged.

As far as the story itself is concerned, it has no bizarre plot, but is based on a certain coincidence of time and space, and all kinds of fortunes and misfortunes encountered by people at the bottom of society. But this thin story is enough to tear open the thick cocoon of modern people's hearts, and you have to admire Lars's "telling" ability. In his simplicity, it contains the most common and tender feelings of human beings. Lars showed Samantha's fate by interweaving reality and fantasy. Whenever Samantha can't bear the heavy and cruel reality, another face in her mind will emerge-there, everyone can sing and dance, be tolerant and kind, and smile, without hypocrisy, deception, meanness, framing and slander, with bright colors. Just as Samantha foresaw that she was going blind and stepped up her steps to make money, she worked overtime day and night in the high-risk environment of mechanized operation in the workshop. Long-term fatigue filled Samantha's eyes with fantasy. Here, everyone regards work as fun and stage, and they can dance and sing to their heart's content.

Samantha played by bjork is very intriguing. At the beginning of the film, I saw her wearing thick glasses. She didn't walk on the stage as required during the rehearsal, listening to the music, humming and jumping at will, and having fun. We saw her recite the eye chart and get away with it, so we learned the secret she didn't want others to know; After seeing her take off her son's glasses, she raised her hand and slapped his truant son, but when she was alone with her son, she was too bad at expressing herself and would only show him what she had rehearsed. There is a communication barrier between her and her son. However, it is such a mother who, in order to cure her son's eyes, would rather be convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death than hire a lawyer to defend herself with her son's operating expenses. When her good friend Jia Fu said to her, "It is very important that you want to save your son from blindness, but he needs his mother!"! -No matter where, a living mother! " Samantha cried with excitement. "Then he will never see it. This is the key to the whole thing! Let him meet his grandson, do you understand? ? That's the only thing I care about in my life! ..... I listen to my heart! " For Samantha, treating her son's eyes is the most important thing. This wish is beautiful, but it is crazy to exchange her life. It may be because of her stubbornness that we feel deep love for our son.

Samantha in court insisted on Bill's promise that "silence is golden" until her death. Generally speaking, Samantha's personality is not what we like in reality, but in the film, Samantha always surprises you when she faces the extremely distinctive personality characteristics of society. It is because of Samantha's stubbornness and tenacity that the film broke through the general plot mode and created a different ending in life. Samantha's final choice alludes to people in real life in a sense. When an emergency comes, we often don't know how to deal with it best. In other words, even if you know the most suitable way, you are unwilling to choose because of some emotional factors and emotions. The extreme way to treat Samantha reminds us that real life is cruel and considerable. Samantha has the sympathy of fans, even if she does something wrong, it is tolerable in the eyes of us onlookers, but in reality we can't have an understanding eye. It can be said that Samantha is happy and we are sad.

Samantha portrayed in the film is single-minded, so her maternal love is irrational, single-minded, stubborn and even stupid. Her final choice is based on three subjective settings: her son must have a pair of perfect eyes, can't know his illness, and must have surgery as soon as possible. Samantha's love is that her son made a mistake and hit him without forgetting to take off his glasses. Instead of buying a bike for her son, she saved every penny to operate on him. She bears a heavy burden, but she doesn't complain too much ... However, she doesn't even allow her son to see her for the last time. When Samantha's choice finally made her face execution, her once stubborn mother suddenly collapsed and became a weak little girl. She can't even walk into the execution room, and the distance of 107 steps keeps her away from death. The illusion produced by the inspiring rhythm of the prison guard supported her to enter the execution ground.

When death was just around the corner, great fear and strong desire for survival made her scream and cry. Only when Jia Fu told her son that the operation was successful and he would not be blind did she calm down, and the frightened and helpless girl returned to her calm mother.

Dear zijun, don't be afraid. I'm never alone. This is not the last song. There is no violin. The choir is so quiet. No one looked back. This is the last second song, remember what I said, wrap the bread and make the bed.

Until life stopped, the execution ground echoed with Samantha's voice of nature. Perhaps only her music can make her summon up courage to go to her heart. Facing the choice of death and her son's blindness, her choice of death is pale, but her love for her son is so strong and vivid. Motherly love is neither dogmatic nor stylized. Maybe Samantha is not a commendable mother, but she can love her son with her life, which seems to make up for her shortcomings and make her love full of color.
