A movie that I stumbled upon, a niche movie with a Douban score of 9 points, I want to share it with you.
For good movies, there is one thing in common, its soundtrack must match the picture, all interludes, including light music, are emotional, such as "The Last Emperor", hearing the melody of Ryuichi Sakamoto can think of the picture, lingering to abandon yesterday, but can't help but look back.
The film is also called "Painted Heart World", but I prefer to call it "Mo Di".
Mo Di, a woman, a trouble and burden in the eyes of others, a person who is unable to take care of herself, but she has the most rare thing: a smile. Perhaps, it was the smile that melted Everett.
Rudimentary painting tools, old tabletops, women in red sweaters, holding paintbrushes in awkward postures, music slowly playing, hands stained with paint, leaving bright colors. Later, I learned that in this shot, Mo Di was already sick, very sick, she was in pain, and this was her last time.
The next movie unfolds in normal order, when She was a child, Mo Di suffered from arthritis, resulting in the inability to walk and take things like a normal person, and she walked with a limp, and she had no friends. She thought brother Charles had come to take her home, and she was happy and smiling, only to be informed that she was going to live at her aunt's house. Because Charles was short of money, he sold the old house, which was Mo Di's home. Mo Di can only stay at Aunt Ada's house, and she is determined to find a job, even though it seems a joke to others.
Waiting for her aunt to fall asleep, Mo Di sneaked out, and she also longed for freedom, like a normal person. The physical disability did not affect her pursuit of a good heart, fashionable curls, wearing a necklace, wearing a pair of small leather shoes. Returning from the club, still found out, did not get a good look. Whose heart does not desire freedom and love?
The next day, Mo Di seemed to forget that she was unhappy, and had a smile on her face, although the way she walked was still funny, she pulled the cart and went to the commissary. In the commissary, Mo Di meets Everett, who is recruiting workers, and fate wants to tie them together because of a small recruitment notice.
The next day, Mo Di dressed up and changed into a new pair of shoes, although it was a bit of a grinding foot, she took the note and came to Everett's house. Apparently Everett didn't have a good first impression of her. They were both a little nervous, two strangers. Mo Di was not hired, and Everett sent her to the bridge. Everett overestimated himself, in the eyes of friends can be someone to apply is very good, but also pick and choose, he thinks it is also right, he is also a strange temper. So he drove Mo Di back home.
A small car, bringing Mo Di out of the darkness, the wind is gentle, the sun is bright, the music is cheerful, it is really good. It's just that Everett is not used to communicating with people, and he didn't get along well at first. He didn't tell Mo Di what he needed to do, which made Mo Di confused. Everett, who had returned from work, was very dissatisfied to see Mo Di doing nothing in the house, and Mo Di also made turnip soup that he did not like. Poor Mo Di was thrown out...
The next morning, Mo Di did not leave, but took the initiative to make breakfast and was cleaning. Everett's stinky temper was touched somewhat. It was like the melting of an ice cube, in a little bit, quietly going on until the end, like the gentleness of water.
Of course, in the eyes of others, this is not a good job, they only think that Mo Di is a woman who is locked up, which makes the aunt feel very humiliated. Gradually, Mo Di found the feeling of work and got along well with Everett. Mo Di began to scribble and paint the old house, she painted the shelves green, and placed small objects, and suddenly the house had a little life.
Everett didn't really accept Mo Di, and when Mo Di inadvertently said a bad dog, Everett told her that here, he was the first, then the dog, then the chicken, and finally her. She has no status, here. This made Mo Di feel very sad, but soon she forgot, maybe not forgot, but deliberately hid, she was always optimistic.
Poor Mo Di was slapped again, of course, I can't quite understand which sentence infuriated Everett, a little inexplicable. There was no way, Mo Di had nowhere to go, she took out the paint box and began to paint on the wall to ease her uncomfortable mood. Everett probably realized his impulse and took the initiative to talk to Mo Di and paid her salary. Mo Di, who got a salary, bought a new painting tool and began to paint.
A fashionable woman came to Mo Di's life and gave Mo Di great confidence and motivation. She is like Mo Di's Bole, Mo Di's paintings have been recognized, and she is very happy. It turned out that the woman came to her because Everett owed her fish and did not send it. So Mo Di suggested that Everett record the business so that he would not forget it. The card was painted with birds, the same as on the wall. Everett accepted her offer.
Sometimes Everett takes Mo Di to deliver fish together, And Everett pushes the trolley, and Mo Di is responsible for recording. The days passed like this, although simple, but in Mo Di's view, it was not boring.
Gradually, Everett accepted Mo Di, and Everett still liked to say the opposite, and after saying it, he silently did what Mo Di wanted. Mo Di began to spend more time painting, Everett helped with housework, spring, summer, autumn and winter, time flowed. Mo Di uses a paintbrush to record the bits and pieces of life, recording the scenery and people outside the window.
"The leaves of this tree are red, and this tree is green, what season is this?"
"I think it should include the beauty of all seasons."
Sandra wants to buy Mo Di's large painting, and Mo Di's helpless appearance makes Everett give up.
"I don't like most people in the world"
"Most people in this world don't like you either, but I like you"
On a pleasant day, they entered the halls of marriage, and Everett, who was dressed in a suit, looked polite and polite. The night air had become gentle, and there was little light in the room on the second floor, a small lamp, dark yellow. "Tomorrow I'll still say the opposite." "Yes, I know." They snuggled up together and danced.
Winter came again, the ground was covered with thick snow, a snow-white world, they began to sell paintings, more and more people came to visit. As if unaware of the passage of time in them, the white hair crept up to each other's sideburns, and you found that, as it turned out, time had slipped away.
Before her death, her aunt told Mo Di that her child was not dead, had no disability, was normal, but had been sold... Because of this incident, she and Everett had an argument, Mo Di was liked by more and more people, Everett felt pressure, and they had a big fight. This time, Mo Di did not go back.
"I didn't see her, I saw you." Everett loved Mo Di in his way, and bit by bit Mo Di remembered it in his heart. However, the life that belongs to everyone is limited, and there will always be people who leave first, and the people who remain are bitter.
Lost the mistress's hut, lost his life. In the corner, the painting that Mo Di was reluctant to sell was probably the best gift she left him. In the small iron box on the table, there lay the worn-out advertising paper, which was the starting point of their acquaintance, and I thought that when Mo Di was still there, she would always take it out to look at it, and I could imagine that she was leaning on the small window, and her eyes were full of happiness looking into the distance, waiting for the return of the host. Then carefully fold it and put it in the box.
Everything that floats has been framed into a painting, and it's there.
Finally, two songs are recommended, one is "Dear daring" and "Little bird", which are found on NetEase Cloud. The warm melody of the cold winter, suitable for a person, quiet and cozy.
