电影用一个倒叙结构对两个故事进行描述,爱、语言和泪水充盈着整部片子。片名once upon a life意指我曾经拥有过一个人生,然后全片都在描述患者的人生,倒放的海浪是叙事结构,绚烂的烟花是每个人的一生。最让我感动的一句话是刚生下孩子的妈妈对儿子的祝愿是“小安,我希望他一生平平安安就好”。对身边人的爱是我们每个人存在的意义,看完电影后意识到这一点,这电影就没白看吧。
“Sometimes the thought is closer to the truth, to reality, than an action. You can say anything, you can do anything, but you can't fake a thought."// Movie is, really, thoughts (fantastical, dark, bleak, etc) turned into reality.
