This film is "PIECES OF A WOMAN" starring the new spy girl Vanessa Kirby and the hero of the series "Transformers" Shia LaBeouf.
The story revolves around a woman named Martha, She and her husband Sean decide to give birth at home when she becomes pregnant in October.
However, when Masha started experiencing labor reactions, the original midwife was unable to come because she was helping other pregnant women who were experiencing dystocia, finally a midwife who did not know the couple arrived.
The midwives who arrived in a hurry didn't have time to know more about Martha, so they jumped into the world of midwives. Encouraging Martha, she continues to work, and asks Sean to call an ambulance for second-hand prep.
With the efforts of these three people, Masha's daughter was finally born. But this joy did not last long, and the child suddenly turned purple and died.
The 25-minute shot at the beginning of the film not only shows the entire production process of a woman, but more importantly, conveys an atmosphere of the repetitive twists and turns.
The midwife's contact pain contractions, the amniotic fluid breaks and the other midwives feel they cannot hear the fetal heartbeat until the girl is born, crying and crying but suddenly dies.
Throughout the process, the story waves and characters' personalities have reached perfect unity, and the audience fully resonates with the emotions, which further paves the way for the next story.
The sudden death of a newborn baby is no doubt a major blow to a family, and also a prelude to the analysis of the disintegration of Martha's life. His mother kept accusing him and proposing suing the midwife. Sean turned to a relative's lawyer because he was dissatisfied with his inability to satisfy his desires. Even the community gave advice and their opinions were divided.
If the first thirty minutes of the story were a major blow to Martha's life, then the content of the next hour and a half was a process of continuous decline in her life.
The mother's accusations, husband's infidelity, and the suspicions of relatives and friends all revolve around the death of the child, but hardly anyone really cares about the biggest victim of the whole incident, namely Martha, who lost her daughter.
Martha, who was isolated and disliked, was not depressed because of this. She slowly came out of this sadness on her own terms. Collecting apple seeds, cleaning the nursery, visiting a bookstore, etc., are her own special ways to commemorate my daughter and get out of the past.
When Martha is alone, the soft and soothing rhythms describe the trivial and mundane of everyday life. She used solitude and calm to heal her pain and regain every piece that had fallen in her life.
In the eyes of others and even the audience, Martha's composure was too abnormal. But until the photo on the day of delivery disappears, Martha, who is holding the photo alone in the bathroom, can no longer hide her sadness.
Real relief at the trial, Martha shared her true inner thoughts, did not blame the midwife, and faced her daughter's death with a calm mind.
"Fragment of Woman" uses a series of events triggered by "infant death" to show the contradictions a woman suffers from in her life. Contradictions with her mother, husband, and even society After experiencing a major event, a woman learns how to face her heart and reconcile herself.
Although external contradictions prompted a change in "Martha" 's heart, the director did not blindly put the other person on the opposite side, but used a controlled mood to create a unique side of the character.
At this point, "Fragment of Woman" and "Marriage Story" had very different expressions.
"Marriage Story" uses increasing contradictions and increasingly heated arguments to portray the weak side of women, as well as the sadness and pain of women under broken marriages. Fragments of Women are different, suppress every conflict and use an optimistic and positive attitude to make peace with others and with oneself.
The most impressive thing about "Fragment of Woman" is that it no longer places women at a disadvantage in family and marriage, but creates an image of a woman who is strong, gentle, independent. What he said was that women don't need to be imprisoned by their past, family marriage, or even the modern values of their lives.
In contemporary society, the awakening of women's self-awareness shows that women seek the realization of greater value in social activities and the division of labor, which also encourages the birth of contemporary feminism.
"Fragment of Woman" is actually the correct interpretation of the true meaning of feminism. A woman's understanding of the rhythm of life and understanding of the value of life are not determined by the outside world but are determined by her own needs.
There is no fixed pattern in women's lives, and the path that suits them is the perfect one.
