"The Woman Who Lives in the Van"
In the autumn of 1977, Ms Sheapod, a homeless old lady with an eccentric personality, came to a middle-class community in London's East End. She drove a vintage van that was too broken to be broken, eating, drinking, and sleeping, all in the car.
No one knows why she lives in the van, no one knows what her past and experiences are, she has no place to live, and her daily routine is to stand on the street begging for food, and then when she is full, she will return to the van to sleep.
Everyone in the town knew her, but everyone didn't want to stay with her because she didn't bathe for years, and she always had a foul smell on her body, but everyone had to show their hypocrisy by giving alms.
Alain Bennett is a writer with a timid and selfish personality, and the film embodies two personalities, one responsible for life and the other responsible for writing, so it is often seen in the film that he himself is often talking alone.
The two were originally people from two worlds, but they had contact because of a toilet borrowing incident.
All of Mr. Bennett's writing inspiration comes from his own mother, and only his mother can provide him with inspiration for writing.
However, the appearance of Ms. Sheppod gave him a new inspiration, and he felt that this wandering lady must have an unknown past.
Although he hated the stench left by the lady's perennial non-bathing, and the occasional strange temper of Guri, he occasionally felt that she had the arrogance of the Gui clan, and she would not easily accept the handouts of others.
Ms. Sheppod, who lived in the van, was often disturbed by the sao of the town's children, which frightened her, thinking it was Jingcha, but Mr. Bennett came and drove them away.
But in the end, Ms. Shebod's car was still towed away, but fortunately, someone with a kind heart gave her a new little blue van.
Sometimes someone would come and disturb her, they would call her "Margaret", and Ms. Shepard seemed to reject the name very much and hated music very much.
However, you will find that Ms. Shepard will go out to visit the door once in a while and go out to run her own business.
But at this time Bennett's other personality would come out and pity the helpless woman, so Mr. Bennett invited Ms. Shepard to drive into his yard, and a brand new little blue van went into Mr. Bennett's yard.
Then there was a dramatic scene where the neighbor laughed and said shebod was Mr Bennett's woman, while the caregiver said it was her guardian.
Ms. Shepard herself did not notice it, and gradually became dependent on him.
Once, when she was extremely disgusted with music, she stopped at the moment when she heard the piano when she passed the church, and at this time she seemed to be something different, and it felt as if she was emitting light around her.
Ms. Shepard was old, so she managed to get a wheelchair.
Since she was in a wheelchair, her favorite thing to do was to ask Mr. Bennett to push her up the slope and slide her down the hill, and at this time it felt like she was smiling like a child with Mr. Bennett, who had suffered us, and was tired and panting in the back.
Ms. Sheppard, with the assurance of Mr. Bennett, finally agreed to go to the sanatorium, which she had been extremely disgusted with, for she had been deceived into going to an unknown place, and she had seen the piano in the sanatorium, and this time she did not escape and slowly touched a pair of hands full of vicissitudes to it, as if touching the lover's face.
Eventually she left the nursing home, and in the car Shebod confided in Bennett in a rare way, probably predicting something, and she said to Bennett, "Mr. Bennett, shake my hand" Seeing him a little hesitant, saying that it was safe to be clean, Mr. Bennett had to shake her hand and leave.
Sheppod gave Bennett a note saying, "There may be everything you want to know", and in order to find out what happened, Mr. Bennett went to the address of the note, and it turned out that there was an old man who lived here, and he was Ms. Shebward's younger brother.
He told Mr. Bennett the story of Shepard's youth.
Her real name was Margaret, and she was the most well-known pianist student, who was sent to Paris to study piano during the war.
Mary had a bright future, sitting in the Vienna Hall playing classical music on a daily basis, but now she spends the rest of her life in a van.
Maybe the ups and downs of life are like this, you can't predict what you will encounter next, and you can't avoid it, what we can do is to seriously live every day.
Mary was sent to the convent twice, and the bishop, in order to make her obedient and stifle her thoughts, refused to talk about steel, so that she was expelled from the convent, and her brother sent her to a shelter, known as "preventive detention".
When di escaped for the second time, she encountered a fast-moving motorcycle boy, she did not pay attention to the motorcycle crashed up, the boy died in front of her car, but her choice may have her later life experience, she did not choose to call the police but fled.
But it also made her bear a lifetime of self-blame and avoidance.
She blames herself for all this, so in the film you can see that Mary seems to be praying at all times, but doesn't seem to know for whom.
Maybe it was for the sake of the guy who died unexpectedly, maybe it was to pray to God to forgive him for his sins.
Perhaps without this dramatic twist, without the idea of confinement, if the choice of car accident is another, how brilliant Mary's life would be.
But there is no if in life, there is no regret medicine in life, and there is no chance to start again.
The film is based on the play of the same name by Alain Bennett, based on real events.
The whole film does not very deliberately create tears, nor does it deliberately output positive energy to tell you how life should be, but with the British witty style bit by bit, it is difficult to hide the author's sighs and the sighs of others, and the stringing of every little thing has become Mary's brilliant life.
Life is only once, why don't we imitate the wonderful point of life.
