He Shun also came to Beijing from other places to do small business, rented in a messy rental house and took cotton.
When cotton was peeked at in the shower, He Shun could defend her and shout, "Dare to peek at my wife in the shower, I won't kill him."
I thought they were husband and wife
"Your wife called twice," Mian told He Shun calmly after He Shun said the above words.
He Shun was awakened by a sentence, which also made cotton see the reality clearly and made the audience suddenly realize.
Heshun's wife and daughter are coming to Beijing, so Cotton has to leave Heshun's shop and find another job.
So, she accepted the job introduced to her by her friend Guigui, taking care of an old man and being a nanny with a monthly salary of 5 thousand.
That old man is Mr. Sheng starring Deshun Wang.
Mr. Sheng's son went abroad to settle down and didn't even call all the year round. Only one daughter, Sheng Qin, came to see him from time to time. Because of a fall, my legs, feet and brains are not working well, and now I need a nanny to serve my daily life.
Sheng Qin is very strict with nannies, and many nannies were quit soon.
Cotton works in Mr. Sheng's house, clean, diligent and good-natured. Sheng Qin is quite satisfied with this.
In the details of getting along with Mr. Sheng, the film tells some stories and emotional experiences of Mr. Sheng when he was young.
Mr. Sheng cut in line in Gansu, the hometown of cotton. Before getting married, she and her mother Miao Hua were pregnant with Sheng Qin. Mr. Sheng was later transferred back to Beijing for work and remarried with his son's mother, Shenggu. Miao Hua, who has lost money all his life, can't let go of the old man. Until Miao Hua died, Mr. Sheng didn't marry her.
Guilt and regret for Miao Hua's life has become an insurmountable hurdle for Mr. Sheng.
With the arrival of cotton, take good care of yourself, and let Mr. Sheng see Miao Hua when he was young and himself when he was young.
Mr. Sheng is often confused and can't tell whether the person in front of him is cotton or Miao Hua, but he knows that he wants this woman to stay with him. He's getting married. Because the unfinished wedding with Miao Hua is an irreparable regret in his life.
Sheng Qin is very hard on the nanny. She took Cotton to the hospital for a physical examination. During the physical examination, cotton accidentally found herself pregnant. At the age of 43, I have decided not to have children. The great surprise made her cry with joy and fell into deep contradiction.
The child's father, He Shun, is married. She doesn't want to destroy other people's families, and she can't give up her desire for children.
After learning that cotton was pregnant, He Shun asked cotton to take the child away, but cotton insisted on giving birth.
What she craves most is children. She can live without love and friends, but she can't give up the life she has longed for for for a long time.
Because I can't have children, my life is dull, and I even endure depression. I just make do with it and live without any hope.
But without the support of the child's biological father, Mian is very sad and helpless. Facing the future, she was at a loss.
The confused Mr. Sheng said something to Miao Hua, which once again strengthened her belief. Even when the doctor told her that the child might be born with a disability, she chose to keep the child.
Mr. Sheng has a serious blood clot and can't move in bed. His life is coming to an end. Looking at his dying father, Sheng Qin wanted to make up for his father's lifelong regret, mend cotton, and let Miao Hua and Mr. Sheng finish the wedding.
At the end of the film, cotton gave birth to a healthy child and returned to his hometown in the season when cotton was in full bloom.
Mr. Sheng's Flowers is taken from the novel Pension Plan by the famous American writer Ha Jin. The theme of this film pays more attention to emotional care for the elderly. In aging China, its social significance can not be ignored, and it is also obvious.
The film runs through it with two main lines. One is the emotional experience of Mr. Sheng, and the other is the emotional entanglement of nanny Mian. Let the audience not only think of the problem of supporting the elderly, but also turn their attention to cotton, an ordinary woman who works in the city.
Unable to bear children, in the male-dominated consciousness, cotton thinks she is an imperfect woman, trembling, cautious, and infinitely forbearing to be someone else's lover in order to find some emotional comfort.
When I saw that He Shun didn't keep the appointment on time after receiving the short message "I'm pregnant" from Cotton, she appeared again after struggling for a few days. When he saw Cotton, he hugged her from behind. Cotton needs to be moved. Seeing this, I was also moved by He Shun's hug. I thought cotton would have a better ending.
However, when he let cotton take care of the children, I was as awake as cotton. This is reality, there is no perfection.
It's just that when all the reliance I thought fell, I lost my fear and became more determined and brave. Because, we understand that only ourselves is our most eternal and true dependence.
I haven't seen many movies starring Yan myself, but what impressed me the most was "An Arrow Through the Heart". Her role in "An Arrow Through the Heart" is similar to that of cotton in the film. Both of them are lonely and depressed, and they are both women who carry heavy burdens in their lives. Yan, on the other hand, naturally interprets this temperament. Every gesture can show the character's life temperament to the fullest.
Mr. Sheng and Cotton are both unfortunate and lucky. After all, cotton has fulfilled Mr. Sheng's dream and his lifelong wish. In this process, cotton also got the spiritual support of teacher Sheng, and finally had her own children.
An old man in No Country for Old Men and a helpless nanny have become each other's supporting forces, not just hospice care at the end of life, but mutual support to complete each other's unfinished tasks in life.
