? Of course, there is also the superb acting of the heroine Streep.
? With this expectation, I entered the movie.
First, this is definitely a feast of sight and hearing.
With the voice-over of the heroine, "I used to have a farm in Africa …", and then the beautiful scenery of Africa and Mozart's music … give people a strong visual and auditory impact. For me not far away, I'm afraid my senses are not enough!
Secondly, the dress of the heroine Karen dazzled me. Classical, simple, outdoor, indoor ... and every scene is perfectly matched. Exquisite and decent dress also shows Karen's efforts to pursue a perfect life.
Moreover, whether indoors or outdoors, or even in several dangerous scenes, the heroine's meal: ivory porcelain is quietly placed on the table covered with exquisite tablecloths, which is also filled with all kinds of blooming flowers and food, giving people a very good feeling. In addition to displaying exquisite tableware, the film also has a seemingly casual but deliberate display, showing that the heroine has gone deep into the bone marrow with her living habits wherever she goes.
Second, the heroine's growth and transformation experience after marriage
The heroine Karen is a kind, beautiful and brave woman. In fact, she just wanted to be a real woman at first, but the man she met forced her to change roles between women and men, and finally became a recognized "woman" in the field of men. All the sacrifices and sacrifices in this field are imaginable.
Look at Karen and Bro first.
They got married for their own needs and bought a farm in Kenya with Karen's money. But Bro left her soon after her marriage and went to various places, leaving Karen alone waiting for a huge farm and a big stall about survival. In order to survive, she must run a coffee farm like a man, earn money to support the farm and a group of people who can afford it, and have to deal with chiefs who don't know the language ... Besides, she also helped her children heal their wounds and set up a school there ... In the end, her kindness, sincerity and wisdom not only made her gain something, but also won the respect and love of the local people. But her husband only went home occasionally to get money, but it was these times that she was infected with severe syphilis at that time. Even so, Karen still wants to save her marriage. In the film, every time her husband comes home, she always wants him to stay, even gives up when he leaves, and even risks his life to personally deliver materials to her husband ... but in the end, the marriage is discovered by her husband.
Look at Karen and Daniel.
Karen and Daniel can be said to be in spiritual harmony. It is unusual that both of them are adventurous. In Daniel's words, "You are a person who knows how to appreciate". They appreciate each other and attract each other.
They have been living happily together since Karen's divorce. Daniel gave Karen a lot of strange feelings, but he still wanted to come back when he needed it, and didn't want to leave when he needed it. They showed great differences in the discussion of "want" and "need".
Karen just wanted to have a family when she got married. Did her initial intention of being a housewife finally come true for two men? In the film, she and Daniel have this conversation:
Karen: I want to get married.
Daniel: Is that really useful?
Karen: Yes, if I want to.
Daniel: Isn't it a long time to accumulate day by day? ?
It can be seen that their attitudes towards marriage are opposite.
Then Daniel left.
While watching this movie, I have been thinking about what made Karen make these seemingly bizarre things or decisions. Until I heard this sentence in her conversation with Daniel: ... some things are worth having, but I have to pay the price, even sacrifice. I hope I am worth having ...? Perhaps this is her creed, and suddenly I seem to understand all her actions-isn't what she does just to practice her creed? Every step from choosing her first husband to taking risks. ...
It is precisely because of this that her life is so magnificent and romantic, just like Mozart's music.
