-Grandpa has something to say-
"Detective Chinatown 3", "Assassination of a Novelist", "Surging Crowds", "Samurai Order", "Nezha Reborn" and other long-awaited films are to be released on the first day of the Chinese New Year. What is more scratching is that there are still many days before the first day of the Chinese New Year, and in the entertainment time of the majority of film and television drama lovers, there is a situation of green and yellow. Mo Panic, with high-grade, high-quality recommended films as his responsibility, has already prepared a list of intimate film and television dramas for you, to ensure that you "other people's dramas are not panicked, worry-free connection to the Spring Festival file."
In view of the surrogacy storm and the Zheng Ren incident in South Korea, Curry found that these keywords have attracted everyone's attention in the near future - mother, woman, parent-child, surrogacy, abandonment, child abuse, domestic violence...
The frequent appearance of these words reflects on the one hand the concern of everyone about social issues, and on the other hand, it also shows that more and more people with benevolent hearts want to intervene in the solution of these social problems in order to fight against the cold and despicable nature of human nature. After investigating and researching N multi-film and television dramas, Kaye decided to focus on these themes and solemnly recommend the "Mother, what's wrong with you" series of excellent film and television dramas.
The first thing I want to recommend to everyone is this tear-jerking drama - "Mother".
There are many film and television dramas named "Mother", and this "Mother" directed by Nobuo Mizuda and Makoto Naganuma, starring Taiko Matsuyuki and Aiko Ashida, is particularly touching.
The play tells the story of a primary school teacher who decides to become the girl's mother and take her away to save a little girl who has been abused by her family in her class.
The play explores the plight of women in the family, involving the emotional entanglement of three generations of women – the mother of the daughter, the daughter of the mother, and the mother's mother. Among them, domestic violence, child abuse, childhood trauma and adult healing are all important issues that the director wants to present to the audience. In addition, the conflict between love and law will also arouse everyone's deep thinking.
Although it is only a small volume of 10 episodes, it has a plot with ups and downs, an untraceable performance, and a beautiful and exquisite Shot of Japan... It is really a good drama from ideological to artistic! Douban's high score of 9.4 is really not blind.
The whole drama begins with the tense scene of the little girl falling into the water and the rescue team searching and rescuing, using flashbacks to set up suspense. As the plot unfolds little by little, the different life experiences of the little girls and the female teachers are presented in detail, and the story lines are sometimes parallel, sometimes intertwined, and finally converged.
The characters and emotions in the play also constitute a wonderful contrast - the cowardly and incompetent birth mother and the firm and kind adoptive mother, the cold adopted daughter and the adoptive daughter who expects maternal love; misunderstanding and reconciliation, lack of love and being loved, the darkness of human nature and the greatness of motherhood, the preciousness of true feelings and the coldness of legal reason...
In short, it is very likely to brush 10 episodes of all-night drama in one go, and it is a warm reminder to arrange the work and rest time reasonably.
Along with this drama, we recommend a remake of this Japanese drama - "Imperfect Her". The plot is almost the same, except that the background of the events is shifted from Japan to China.
Zhou Xun, Hui Yinghong, and Zhao Yazhi played on the same stage, which is also a good point to watch.
The second recommended film is still called "Mother".
In addition to being a Korean film in the form of a different Japanese drama, it is also very different from the previous Japanese drama in terms of genre. If divided by genre, the film should be classified as a crime thriller.
The story centers on a small-town murder and then connects a special mother and son. The single mother who loves her son as much as her son and her mentally handicapped son are involved in the whirlpool of this murder.
In the process of continuous investigation, the mother's memories are constantly intertwined with the current reality, and the surging emotions for her son support her to find the truth. However, the "truth" presented to the audience always seems so elusive.
The question of whether the mentally handicapped son is a murderer, from the extreme concern at the beginning of the film, to the gradual dilution and even conscious blurring, gradually leads the film's intention to a deeper and broader category, rather than limiting the vision to a narrow scope that only focuses on crime and family affection. The film unfolds in astonishing depth, filled with a variety of modern, oriental, and social metaphors.
In this movie, the mother's love for her mentally handicapped son is the most extreme mother's love. Because I loved him, I wanted to kill him when he was 5 years old, and because I loved him, I wanted to protect him at all costs when a catastrophe came.
For the fragmented memories of her mentally handicapped son, the mother only wants him to remember the good parts. Acupuncture of the thighs forgets the pain and immorality, which is how the mother finally escapes everything.
The two surreal dance sections close in echo, which is both a clever blank space of the plot and a hint at the madness and detachment of the mother after experiencing an extreme state.
They are just small roles at the bottom of society who are crushed, and can only rely on forgetting to detach themselves from the painful life again and again. So what is true? What you want to believe is true, and what you choose to forget is false.
The third film to recommend is the film in which Sophie Marceau starred in her early years, "Heart Fire".
The film tells us the story of a "surrogate mother".
Elizabeth (Sophie Marceau) and the English nobleman Charlie (Stephen Dylan Dillane) have an ulterior deal – she bears a child for him and he helps her father pay off his debts.
As agreed, Elizabeth leaves after giving birth to a child, and her father's debts are paid off by Charlie. She thought it would all end with the deal, but elizabeth was bitter that she couldn't forget her daughter, Louisa.
For seven years, the surrogate mother's heart was on fire — every time it came to her daughter's birthday, she would write about her paintings in the picture book. At the same time, what she could not forget was the feelings between her and Charlie at that time.
Over time, the surrogate mother learned more and more that life cannot be traded as a commodity. If you really think of yourself as a meat cloth bag that holds new life, you will no longer be a real flesh and blood person with love and hate.
Finally, Elizabeth came to her daughter with the courage to regain her daughter's thoughts...
Motherhood is the most glorious part of human nature, and maternal love is also the greatest emotion in the world. And the practice of surrogacy, which violates human ethics, is the destruction and blasphemy of great maternal love, and it is a sin that cannot be redeemed no matter how much money is spent.
The last thing to recommend to everyone is the movie - "Jin Zhiying in 82 Years".
The film is based on its novel of the same name, and I believe that many people in the circle of cultural coffee must have read this book. As a phenomenon-level bestseller focusing on the problem of women's survival, the role of Jin Zhiying, born in 1982, connects the sexism that women face at all stages of life.
Because of this extremely sensitive topic, the film was boycotted by male audiences before it was released, and was violently beaten with low scores on the Internet, and even the heroine of the Internet, Zheng Yumei.
But in fact, the greatest value of this film lies in its realism. In South Korea, although domestic violence is a serious social phenomenon, the film cleverly avoids this very eye-catching topic and focuses on the deeper mental pain of modern women.
Jin Zhiying's husband Daxian is really a very good and considerate husband. But even with the protection of her husband, Jin Zhiying still makes us deeply feel the various crushing pressures that women encounter in the family and society.
Dreams, pursuits, and hopes are all shattered by trivial realities, and the life of a baby full of and cannot be seen at a glance. In the depths of Jin Zhiying's heart, the college graduate who achieved excellent results that year, the workplace beauty with the best performance in the company that year, and the self who could do something completely, are now forever sealed by reality. In the eyes of everyone, he is just a parasite who does nothing all day under the title of young mother.
Marriage, family, husband, children, in-laws... It is the whole meaning of her life, and there is absolutely no her own in this. Therefore, Jin Zhiying in the film will split into various other personalities and become farther and farther away from the true self.
In this film, you may have a deeper understanding of the true state of the baoma group, and it will also evoke your compassion for postpartum depression patients.
The above is the list of "What Happened to Mother" series recommended by Curry. I hope that everyone can get more thoughts and insights after following the list of film and television dramas.
