The film I am talking about today is the film "Motherhood" by the famous American director Tot thoe Field, which was released in 2006. Once released, it was nominated for five major awards, including the 64th Golden Globe Awards and the 79th Academy Awards.
The story tells the story of the torment and redemption of four adults in their ordinary lives!
Heroine Sarah (Kate. Winslet), an ordinary-looking Master of Arts student who takes care of his children at home after marriage, has no common language with the housewives around him, and seems out of place. Coupled with her husband's addiction to online pornography and lack of love for her, she feels that her life is in trouble and she is very dissatisfied with her role. The male protagonist, Brad (Patrick. Wilson), who was a law school graduate, did not obtain a bar for two years. Brad's wife is mostly a career woman who wants her husband to become a lawyer. Brad has been caring for his children at home and has been in a state of self-denial and repression on two failing to make the bar exam. The third person, Larry, a retired police officer, was so nervous on a mission that he had to retire early because he had to take early retirement by mistake by mistake killing a 13-year-old teenager. The fourth man, Ronnie, was a sexual pervert who was sentenced to two years in prison for indecency. After being released from prison, he was ostracized by the entire community, especially Larry, and had to hide at home and rely on his old mother.
The second half of the film climaxes with Sarah and Brad frequently having an affair, and Brad's wife becomes aware of it, bringing her mother to live with and spying on Brad. Brad elopes with Sarah after a ball game, and Sarah plans to leave the children behind in the middle of the night to meet and leave. Larry's wife couldn't stand his gloom and went back to her mother's house. He harassed Ronnie even more, Ronnie's mother went out to theorize with him, the two of them pulled Ronnie's mother to the ground, waited until the hospital suddenly suffered a heart attack and died of ineffective rescue, before dying told Ronnie to be a good child. Heartbroken, Ronnie ran to the swing in the children's activity area in the middle of the night with a knife and cried bitterly. Sarah, who arrived early, saw the pained Ronnie go over to comfort. Turning around again, the child was gone, and Sarah frantically searched for her daughter, finding her daughter who looked up at the street lamp alone under the desolate street lamp in the middle of the night, and suddenly woke up to her deep love for her daughter and responsibility to the family, and took her home with her daughter. On the way out, Brad saw the teenagers playing roller skating and was eager to try, and he broke his leg. Before being admitted to the hospital, he asked the police for help finding his wife, which meant that he had also returned to his family. Larry looked around for Ronnie with guilt, and by the time he found Ronnie, he had already self-harmed, and Larry took him to the hospital, which saved his life.
The story ends here, the four people in the film are not bad in nature, but they all try to get out of the predicament by the wrong way when their lives are in trouble. Not only do you dare not face the predicament, but you will not only not get out of it, but you may even fall into a bigger predicament.
Passion is desired in the plain, and after the passion, it returns to reason and returns to plainness. The film concludes with a meaningful narration: "The past life cannot be changed, but there will always be countless new stories waiting for us in the future." "The script is extremely tense, in fact, there is no difference between parents and children, everyone has a weak heart, poor self-control, in life is just more responsibilities and obligations, you must understand the self-redemption and strong face.
