Movies come from life and are higher than life.
Many of the stories in the movie will feel incredible, but if the reality is absurd to a certain extent, the movie cannot be made.
The film recommended by Ma Po today is-
55 steps
55 Steps
Douban score 7.7, only 287 people have marked it, absolutely unpopular film.
Especially in connection with the recent "Yang Yongxin Incident in the Mental Hospital", I feel that such a film is rare and cannot be missed.
Recently, the showbiz industry is popular to reflect acting skills by dressing up ugly, what "all-vegan appearances", "shaving the head for the character", not to mention a variety of strange costumes and embarrassing character settings out of the screen.
As a result, most attempts have failed.
Because they overlooked that the strange characters succeed because the acting is there.
The goddess Helena Bonham Carter is a typical example, she can obviously eat by the face, but she depends on talent.
"The Room with the View" is also a gentle and lovely person.
But she prefers to play roles that don't meet the expectations of ordinary people.
The bad woman who killed Sirius in Harry Potter, the stepmother who competed with Hammer in Toast, and the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland.
There are many other characters like this, but everyone only appreciates her because every character is a character.
This time, her role in Eleanor is also a little abnormal, she is a mental patient who is dissatisfied with the medical institution system.
Why the dissatisfaction? Because when she was extremely awake, the doctors forcibly held her down to give her an injection, despite her wishes.
In fact, these drugs only made her body worse, and then only left her twitching, cramping, and urinating on the cold ground.
Eleanor originally took the initiative to come to the hospital for treatment after being ill, but she did not expect that the doctor's treatment method here was only the simplest and most rude injection and medicine, even if those drugs were not only useless but also had great side effects.
But she has no right to speak, and once she is emotional, she will be judged to be a psychotic attack.
So she decided to defend her rights and seek a lawyer.
Claire came, her makeup was exquisite, and her whole person was capable and temperamental.
Eleanor was not satisfied when she saw her. She felt that Claire was out of place here, and Claire seemed to be only here to perfunctory herself.
But Claire's earnestness impressed Eleanor.
Hillary Swank, who plays Claire, won two Oscars for Best Actress for "Boy Don't Cry" and "Million Dollar Baby," and her chemistry with Helena is also superb in this film.
They became partners, and Claire first managed to get Eleanor out, and then took another patient out at Eleanor's insistence.
But when they prepared for the lawsuit, they found that the matter was very tricky.
Because their opponents are medical groups with deep pockets and many medical experts with professional knowledge.
Moreover, in previous cases, all the reference results were unfavorable to them.
In their ranks, there were only three people, Claire and a professor, and Eleanor, who was mentally and physically unstable.
The first court confrontation ended in failure, and Claire was depressed, and Eleanor came to comfort her.
The friendship of the two women is also getting better and better in such stumbling blocks.
In fact, what really tormented Eleanor was the repeated memories of the fear of the hospital at night, and that despair had become a brand that lingered, and she went to Claire when she was afraid.
Eleanor found that Claire was always looking at her watch, and she controlled her time exactly.
She can work hard for work, but neglects to get along with her boyfriend, and she is even ready to break up with her boyfriend.
The personalities of the two people are completely different, but they get along better and better.
Claire spends more time with Eleanor, who often encourages Claire to live her own life.
Although the case has ups and downs, from losing to winning, regenerating in the middle of the way, to the final victory, the process and its ups and downs, but the end is good.
During that time, Eleanor could still be that cute little girl at home and enjoy her life every day.
Stringing Buddhist beads and praying for her loved ones every day; inviting her friends to come to her home for the holidays at Christmas;
When you want to go to court, you will buy yourself a new dress; when you are happy or unhappy, you will drink seven joys;
Calmly facing the death of his mother, he also tried to live alone.
In the end, she won the case and then quietly left after the victory.
The 55 steps she once walked saved more people like her.
Patients have the right to decide whether they want to take medication or not, and doctors are no longer in charge.
Such a film will make people feel that there are many dark corners of the world that are happening some incredible and terrible things, but it will also make the audience see:
There are still people who care about these marginalized groups, and there are people who are willing to stand up for them.
When people see a bad thing or scandal, they always see the most harmful side of it, and they don't know that when this thing is put on the table, it is an opportunity to change it.
Blaming and blaming from the moral high ground does not actually help.
Freshmen always have to survive the pain, which is inevitable.
Also a vulnerable group, we can only make one "Baby" now, when there is a "Room 13", it may be the end of the battle.
