Sister Peach
Just after watching "Sister Peach" released on Women's Day, from the beginning of this film, I had a premonition that this new wave literary and artistic film directed by Xu Anhua would have a great sensation, and intuitively felt that Director Xu's film was very good as long as it was a very literary and social film performance. Sure enough, the Venice Film Festival won the post-film award, and then Taiwan's Golden Horse won the best director and best actor and actress again. This year's Hong Kong Film Awards 8 nominations, and once again won the best director of the film Emperor Film Queen, absolutely a big hit.
Premiered on March 8th, a film that shows women and the old age of the elderly is very appropriate to be released on such a Women's Day, respecting women, not only women, men should go into the theater to see.
With the advent of social aging, we will slowly feel that our parents, including ourselves, are growing up and maturing day by day, including getting old, which does not need to escape, let alone be afraid, life and old age, illness and death, naturally. My own father died of illness when he was in his early 50s and left us quickly before he felt old. My grandmother, who died a few years ago, was very tough, lived to be more than 80 years old, and spent her last moments in life in a welfare home. The life of the elderly expressed in the film is very accurate, not very happy, not very unhappy, life is like this, calmly face the laws of nature, relatives, the joy of heaven, and even strong people do not resist it.
Andy Lau played the young master Roger and the old maid of the family, Sister Tao, that kind of real and touching affection, has long surpassed the master-servant relationship. Just like Roger said to a friend every time he introduced himself, This is my mother. "Sister Tao is not natural to slowly accept and calm, family affection is like this, very warm and happy, there is no regret in life, even if the mother and son have no feelings, what can be done, feelings are to pay, repay, two-way giving. The performance of the two people, without a trace, as if it were like that, it was such a master and servant who was like a mother and son, caring for each other, taking care of each other, life is actually so simple, old age, disease, death are nothing, because we are not alone, we are not lonely. In the film, there is an old woman in the nursing home who has never been seen by anyone, which makes people a little sad.
Sister Tao left quietly, the movie also came to an end, what we want to express, we will slowly experience, cherish the relatives and friends around us, because we can not be without emotion.
Affection, the closest people, should you call your parents and elders, or send a WeChat? Happiness is like this, love you and your loved ones, very healthy and happy, know, you are very happy, what regrets?
After watching this movie, it doesn't matter what acting skills are evaluated, we see, we feel, this is acting, the actors have done it, we understand life, the director and the actor help us discover life, how to live.
Here I wish all my fellow women a happy holiday and happiness forever.
