There is a hidden pain in marriage, that is, the ice cellar life mode of having nothing to say and refusing to communicate. There is no quarrel and no action, but the ice that drops to zero degrees and the cold that refuses to be thousands of miles are like shadows, making you unable to escape and miserable. This kind of wordless hurt is enough to kill any relationship.
But there is no one as determined as the heroine in the movie, and she even has her own life, including the weak life in the abdomen that has not yet had time to be born.
The state of the male and female protagonists who just got up
Rarely exposed to Russian films, "Banished Love" is a suspense + plot. Alex and his wife Vera took their sons and daughters on vacation to their father's old house in the countryside, the empty grassland, the fresh air of herds of cattle and sheep, a pleasant and relaxed look.
Until one day, the wife solemnly told Alex that she was pregnant. Then look up at her husband, who has always been silent and expressionless, and then she throws a giant atomic bomb, the child is not yours.
Kids are not yours - conspiracy theories
This accident came unexpectedly, and I believe that every audience will be deeply substituted. Sure enough, the male protagonist's face was livid, and he couldn't help but rush out of the door and stagger in the wilderness.
A marriage, whether there is still an emotional factor or not, such a green hat, such a humiliation is difficult for any man to accept.
Alex took advantage of the fact that the child went to the neighbor's house to play and did not return home at night, and asked his brother Mark to ask the doctor to come to his wife's house for abortion surgery overnight. But after the operation, my wife never woke up.
The male protagonist is always depressed with a poker face
Grief-stricken, Alex drives with a gun to find Vera's lover, Robert. But a surprising secret was discovered from Robert's account.
Nearly three hours of film, the most profound feeling is the solemn, depressing atmosphere, making people feel breathless. The photography of the whole film is actually very beautiful, but the tone is very gray and dark. There is no smile, no warmth, no communication, some are just alienated and indifferent, cold as frost and refuse to let people go.
Alex and his brother Mark
There are very few frontal shots in the film, and even if there is, it is a sense of distance that is strange and stiff, and one is opposite to the opposite.
The family is the most important combination of society, and every family pays great attention to the education of children, but often ignores the relationship between husband and wife and the family atmosphere is the best way to educate. Just like the heroine of the film Vera, she helplessly looks at her son, and slowly has the shadow of her husband, she is worried about fear but can't do anything.
The feeling of suffocation that this silent disregard brings to women is fatal. There is no communication, no communication, and the same bed and different dreams speculate about each other. But we can't seem to simply judge that the male protagonist does not love the female protagonist, at least after learning that his wife has cheated, he is painfully entangled, and finally chooses to forgive and maintain the integrity of the family, but only asks the wife to remove the child in his belly. This seems like a reasonable request, and there is nothing wrong with it.
It's like a passerby
Many times, Vera wanted to find an opportunity to talk to her husband. But each time he was rudely interrupted by Alex, and even a heavy slap directly hit the pregnant Vera to the ground for half a day. And this scene was just seen by his son.
The heroine's despair is not a cold day. It is difficult for us ordinary people to imagine that even if the child in the abdomen is really not her husband's, few women have confessed to their husbands so bluntly, and even implicitly contain provocative meanings. Who would have thought that all this was just the last straw of the heroine, the hopeless dying struggle and the last fight for their frozen marriage.
Vera's desperate face
In fact, the child in the belly is their couple's, and Robert is at best a friend of the heroine. When Vera, overwhelmed by the cold violence of her family and increasingly depressed, chooses to commit suicide by swallowing drugs, it is Robert who rushes to pull her back from the brink of death, and he knows too well all the unspeakable pain and despair in Vera's heart.
But Alex didn't give Vera any chance to explain, and no matter how much it changed, the communication between them was still zero. Vera had no choice but to make a desperate bet, hoping that through this most embarrassing event, it would open an opening in the frozen relationship between their husband and wife, and inject even a trace of vitality.
Mr. and Mrs. Daily Life
In the end, she was hopeless and chose to give up. Abandoning children, abandoning husbands, abandoning families, giving up one's own life. Silent and silent, he puppet-likely accepted all the arrangements of her husband.
In this way, the couple teamed up to kill their poor child, who had not yet been born, but Alex did not know that it was his own flesh and blood that he had killed.
Vera had swallowed a lot of sleeping pills before the miscarriage. Because she believes that even if a child comes to this world, it will only be an unfortunate child and will not change any status quo.
When she was lonely, Vera sat down on a stool outside the door
The film describes the increasing "cold violence of the family" in today's society. It refers to the fact that when a husband and wife have a conflict, both parties have a cold attitude and do not care about each other, and reduce language communication to a minimum. This is a kind of mental abuse, which directly hurts two people, and even affects children, and most of the children from the original ecological family are sensitive, fragile, and neurotic.
The male protagonist alex in the film is the victim of the original ecological family, including his brother Mark, and after marriage, they are all poor family life and have different degrees of violent tendencies.
Ke Zhi, a well-known lawyer and director of the Chinese divorce website, said that almost 100% of families have different degrees of cold violence. After 16 months of traveling to more than 2,000 families in Beijing and Tianjin, Dr. Liu Zhe, a Chinese psychologist, has come to an incomplete conclusion that 93% of families are not satisfied with their married life, and more than 70% of families have had or are in a frozen state.
Love should not be hurt
Every time Vera tried to talk to Alex, she was ruthlessly cut off, and even when the two were in bed, they were staring blankly at the ceiling with a pair of empty eyes. Only when Alex was asleep did Vera occasionally snuggle on his shoulders, gazing deeply at her husband, who lay beside her every day, but her heart wandered nowhere, full of helplessness and sorrow.
They are right next to us, sleeping together day and night. But it seems that it is not around us, as empty as air. How many such families, how many such tragedies are staged almost every day, maybe all around us, maybe including ourselves.
Director Sarkinsev's debut "Return" was a Shot of the Venice Golden Lion Award, "Banishing Love" has been further sublimated in all aspects, and the male protagonist won the Cannes Film Emperor with superb acting skills. The ups and downs of the plot are strongly watchable, and the photographic effect is as beautiful as oil painting, which is a good plot film that literary and artistic youth cannot miss.

I am @ my Yantai. Inadvertently brushing up on this Russian film in the headlines, I was immediately attracted. I couldn't finish watching it before going to bed, and I woke up at four in the morning very awake, so I watched the whole movie in one breath.
