Far away from home, wandering outside, it’s too normal for people nowadays. However, the pace of Beijing drifting, Shanghai drifting, and urbanization has forced us to leave our homes, and the longing for home in our hearts is for a stable nest. The longing for us always makes us feel lonely and helpless. Of course, this feeling may only be borne silently by myself. The movie "Rosie" to be said today tells a story of "wandering" with his family.
Rosie is a mother of 4 children. Because the landlord was about to sell the house, she and her husband John had to move out of the house that had been rented for 7 years. However, due to the soaring housing prices, renting a house is already very difficult. John needs to work to support his family, so finding a house has become something Rosie has to face. The style of the
movie The beginning of the movie
explains the background of the story. The shortage of rental housing in Ireland and the high rents have made Ireland the country with the lowest percentage of fixed residences in Europe, and many people have embarked on the drift of looking for short-term rentals. the road. This set the tone of realism for the whole film.
In the treatment of the environment, the film uses a more depressing gloomy weather and dark night, never showing a ray of sunlight. The family was crowded in a small car, the noise of the children, and the rain outside the windows also rendered a depressing atmosphere. The time span in the film
is only two days. After two days, the main line of Rosie's finding a house is started, and the subject is very clear. The film does not deliberately create contradictions, but uses a calm and almost statement form to present the two days of a family’s life to the audience in a documentary way. From a close-to-life perspective, it gives people an impression of the family. Encounter produces sympathy. In terms of the overall viewing experience, while feeling helpless, it was also infected by the tenacious spirit of the heroine Rosie.
Don't lose dignity even when facing difficulties
Rosie is a woman with great courage and responsibility. Running around with the children alone, not only to pick up the children from school, but also to endure the taste of being refused to find a house. For these, she didn't blame anyone, she still went forward courageously. Just like when Millie blamed Kelly for causing everyone to lose the house they should have lived in, Rosie said to Millie: It’s not anyone’s fault.
When she came to her mother's door to search for the missing Kelly, she only promised her mother to admit her mistake to her father and she could take the children to live temporarily, but Rosie gave up. We have no way of knowing what kind of conflict between her and her father, but she insists on her own point of view and does not give up her dignity for difficulties. This situation of
has been shown many times in the film:
When Rosie brought her daughter to a friend’s house, facing the friend’s expression of "homeless", Rosie said, "We are not homeless. , Just haven't found it yet". In Rosie's mind, home is not measured by house.
When being told by the teacher that her daughter Millie was ridiculed by her classmates as "Smelly Millie", she shed sad tears. At the same time, she clearly informed the teacher that students should not be allowed to speak of their daughters. This is not only to protect the dignity of their daughters. , Is also maintaining their dignity.
When her daughter Kelly wanted to live in a classmate’s house temporarily, and Rosie sternly refused, she did not want her daughter to be sent under the fence and be criticized, also for dignity.
is exactly this kind of self-esteem that drives Rosie, giving her the kind of unwavering courage to face difficulties.
's education for children does not depend on beating and scolding. In the film, Rosie's family's attitude towards children's education is worthy of consideration for all parents.
Imagine a car of chirping bears who talked about it a few times and still went their own way. Instead of being you, can you bear it? I am afraid that the "Lion Roar Technique" and "Eighteen Palms of the Bear" have already been used.
However, Rosie, who feels extremely aggressive, has endless tenderness in the face of her children, and so does her husband John.
daughter Millie didn’t want to enter the classroom because her classmates laughed at her. When she just wanted to watch the dogs, Rosie did not force her to enter the classroom immediately, but took her out of school, so that her daughter would have a relaxed, happy and forget the troubles. mood.
son A Fei missed his former home, playing on the trampoline in the yard, and still did not want to leave. Rosie had to take him away, facing the sad and howling A Fei, Rosie just kept in tears and kept saying "Dear I'm sorry."
's naive treatment of children, Rosie did notChildren are "punished" by the standards of adults, but they are fully respected and understood. It's normal for children to be ignorant, and of course they need to be educated, but can they really educate children by playing and scolding at every turn? Countless examples prove that it is not necessarily. To truly understand the heart of a child with love, I am afraid that parents need to learn from Rosie the most.
Sharing joys and sorrows, it’s love
On the first night, when living in a low-rent housing, facing an unprecedentedly bad situation, John was still able to hold Rosie and jokingly said, "Finally realized his desire to live in a hotel. ". Facing difficulties, the two of them looked optimistic and positive, adding a lively atmosphere to the heavy atmosphere.
On the second night, when he did not find the house and was facing the night in the car, John shed tears from the man. He blamed himself for failing to take care of Rosie, but Rosie said that he did not need to say sorry. The two people who were embracing and crying, faced the child's call and wiped away their tears, which was moving.
Although Rosie did not find a house, and John did not have a good source of income, in the face of such a difficult situation, Rosie and John did not blame or complain to each other. Seeing the true love in adversity, it is just such a love.
is worth noting that this realistic film reflects the real situation in Ireland in 2018. Unlike movies that generally reflect social reality, this movie has no pungent irony, no sharp allusions, and just tells a normal story with a peaceful mind. However, it is this truth that makes people feel the same. The last part of the
film has the only point of joy in the whole film. The family sits in the car and uses French fries as a "weapon" to play happily. At this time, the background music is also very happy before the change. Even if we don't know whether this family has found an ideal home in the end, there is no doubt that their home will always exist.
