Plot Summary:Based on the classic Cuban piece The Old House by writer Abelardo Estorino, the film tells the story of Esteban, who returns home after a 14-year absence when he learns of the imminent death of his father. Residing outside of his native Cuba he re-encounters a past that is almost intact. Secrets, old grudges, misunderstandings, and intolerance leave him to stay in a home where time seems to have stood still.
各有个性的女演员们和妄图带来“改变”也让人心疼的小儿子,最后小儿子和妈妈相拥而泣那里真的让人泪崩
看这部电影前,看了同一故事题材话剧演绎版本。相对比话剧,易于理解,比较直白的故事讲述方式,蛮好的,说的稍微隐晦一点,我其实就不太容易看懂。咋说呢,众人被无形之力强迫下苟且的生活状况和国内的状况一样耶,真神奇哈哈哈哈哈。能看到每个人的痛苦和挣扎,但这个无形的东西到底是啥,每个人受的苦都不太一样,又在同一个盘子里装着。有段对话我很喜欢,其中小儿子说到,我不要那么高尚那么纯洁。其实我们都是傻傻的生命体,坦率一点活着虽然也空无一物,也许会幸福一点吧。还有一句: “那个孩子总是逃跑,不知道还以为他做错了什么”在方生未死之间,每个人都搅和在漩涡里,生不如死。话剧版本我就不太能看懂,比较激烈,现在想来,虽然是同一个故事框架,内容填写的不一样,说的东西全变了。
