What kind of debt that you can't unload after a lifetime?
What kind of lie will make people exhaust a lifetime of mental effort to make it round?
The movie "Sin" starring Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren, "Avatar" actor Sam Worthington, and Jessica Chastain uses the story of three **, ** lies and secrets are sad and unbearable.
This film is adapted from the 2007 Israeli film of the same name, the film is narrated from two time and space, in 1997 Rachel (played by Helen Mirren) is participating in a new book launch This is a book about Rachel and two other ** Stephen and David when they go on a mission.
Rachel's daughter interviewed her and wrote a book, and at the presentation, Rachel was invited to read a passage from the book, which was about Rachel's heroic deeds in fighting with the prisoners, which should have been read aloud with a smile Rachel's face showed a complicated and uncomfortable expression.
At the end of the presentation, Stephen brought the sad news that David had been hit by a car and died, which left Rachel in a whirlpool of memories.
In 1965, Rachel, Stephen, and David were sent to arrest Nazi war criminal Vogel, because Vogel was an obstetrician and gynecologist, in order to confirm his identity and prevent the wrong person from being caught, Rachel was assigned to pretend to be infertile and go to the clinic to reconnoitre.
As the mission progressed, Rachel and David had a good impression of each other, but David was bent on completing the task and had no emotional problems.
That night, in order to check on Vogel the next day, Rachel wanted to make Vogel really think that they had serious plans for pregnancy without any suspicions, so that they could successfully complete the task, Rachel could not bear the physical and realistic needs, and had sex, but Rachel was forced to complete the needs with Stephen, who was older than him and had no feelings.
The next day, Vogel did an examination, and sure enough, there was no suspicion, and at this perfect time, Rachel used a neat injection of ** medicine to arrest Vogel.
In order to complete the task, Rachel has to endure being naked on the examination table for the doctor (who is also the war criminal they want to arrest), and watch and touch the examination without privacy, what a cruel and spicy thing it is.
Then, Rachel has to be helpless and don't like the person **, who can she tell her sadness at the moment? Moreover, under the same roof, David, who had a crush on Rachel and didn't dare to say it, could only cry in another room, and it was quite pitiful to let the whole thing happen.
In the world of love, he attaches importance to love and attaches importance to her, hoping that after the matter at hand is completed, he will fall in love with her without worry, but there is no way to complete this wish. Later, Rachel became pregnant, and he could never get her again, so he could only watch from the sidelines forever.
After the abduction of Vogel. They planned to use the train at the station to transport Vogel and send him back to China for trial, but because of an accident, they were discovered by the station guards, and the three had to quickly escape and take Vogel back to his residence and imprisoned.
One day, David and Vogel had an argument, and Stephen had to take David out of the residence, but at this time, Vogel broke free and attacked Rachel, and the two scuffled, Rachel finally couldn't withstand Vogel's brute attack and knife, and fainted to the ground.
Vogel fled, and the trio could not complete their mission, but they could not stay any longer, so they had to return home. Before returning home, the trio agreed to hide the fact that Vogel had escaped, and made up that Rachel had killed Vogel and could not bring him back to China for interrogation.
The matter passed like this, and the three of them also became heroes of meritorious service, but this lie had a fermenting effect between the three of them. It was more than 30 years apart. Rachel decided to repay the debt of this deceived world and pay off the burden in her heart at once.
The two periods of time and space of the movie, the director uses a very clever editing method to connect, leaving no traces in the process of switching, natural and smooth, and also uses flashbacks to tune what happened later, producing a very suspenseful way to attract the audience to continue to ** What happened.
I really like the scene in the dark, slowly the cabin opens, a glimmer of light into the "deep breath" Stephen said, and then the three of them look up and step off the plane with their chests held high, this is what they look like when they return home, although they complete the mission, but there is no smile.
This scene appears twice, once at the beginning and once at the end, the same clip, but with a completely different feeling. At the beginning of the film, the light shines in, and there is a feeling that the future of the three of them is bright, but the ins and outs of all the stories are explored. At the end of the film, the light after the cabin is turned on becomes a heavy irony.
The three of them decided to wrap themselves in lies, and although they became heroes welcomed by the whole country, life was no longer simple, and when they faced the voice in their hearts, it was a page of unbearable past and facts. This kind of echo method is used very well and subtly, which gives the whole movie the finishing touch.
In the actor's part, I really like the presentation of Helen Mirren's expression in the movie, it is a kind of face that has been weathered, although she is always smiling and bright in front of people, but the hidden pain has a complicated sadness when I think about it. This kind of expression performance makes people eager to find out what happened to this woman and why she is unhappy in the flashback movie, and then keep watching it.
is different from Helen Mirren's performance, Jessica Chastain, who plays the young Rachel, plays the feeling of helplessness of the female ** very well, taking on such a difficult task at a young age and even losing her privacy, Jessica's struggle and courage in the clinic impressed me very much, and it was completely different from the image of the silly big sister when I watched "Help" earlier.
Sins" is a good movie worth watching and not to be missed, and I recommend it to everyone!
