It's not hard to die, it's the hardest thing to live.
Today, I'd like to explain the movie "The Valley of the Daughters" to you.
Yes, this is a women's prison.
As for the prisoners, they are naturally the prisoners of the deserted island, the outcasts of the society
People who go to prison have no hope in life.
Society does not recognize them, and people avoid them.
But the people in prison are really all desperate criminals who have committed the most serious crimes.
Not really.
On this day, the guards brought in a woman, Jing'er.
She was arrested for stealing valuable medicines from the hospital.
Jing'er's husband was seriously ill.
She needed medical treatment, perhaps because of remorse.
Her tears flowed down her pretty cheeks.
With frail steps, she entered the prison.
L-eye, Xiao Nan, who was used to dominating, looked her up and down with contempt for a few moments.
She took care of everything for her.
They became her close sisters.
In fact, Fei Fei is innocent.
The rest of the female inmates have their own hardships.
One day, a white car came to the prison.
A man in a suit.
A man in a suit with a half-grown child shouted Fei Fei's name.
The guards saw this behavior and immediately scolded to stop it.
Her husband's boss had committed a crime.
She promised to send her husband to the United States as long as Fei Fei took the blame for her.
She promised to send her husband to America
She promised to send him to the United States if she would cover for him.
And Fei Fei did not suspect their relationship at all
She foolishly went to jail for this ungrateful man
When she woke up, she realized that her heart was misplaced.
The basket is a waste of water
Instead, she did the wedding clothes for her
At this time, Xiao Nan and Qiu Zi's behavior
Undoubtedly, Fei Fei's heart is already full of holes, sprinkled with salt
Make it bleeding again
The heartache was unbearable
Fei Fei picked up a cup of herbal tea
unceremoniously threw a face of the two
However, the ungrateful man walked away
But Fei Fei was in a difficult situation
She had to leave her son to the prison guards
Luckily, the guards were reasonable.
They treated them like human beings
They were very kind to the child.
On this day, Fourth Sister and Qiuzi were sent to feed the pigs.
They were in the men's prison, which was only a wall away.
They heard a man's movement.
That thick voice.
It was like a light feather tickling Qiuzi's heart.
The flirtatious Qiu Zi has long been crazy about men.
So she lured him over the wall and entered.
As soon as they met, they fell in the woodshed.
At the same time, the prison guards came on patrol
They were caught red-handed
Akiko was sentenced to two more years for this.
After the incident, her rich businessman father came and
He scolded her severely through the bars
But Akiko laughed and laughed.
As she laughed
Cold tears covered her pretty face.
It turned out that behind the flirtatious Akiko also had a
behind the flirtatious Akiko had a sad past that no one knew about
Her mother died early, her father was a womanizer
She was raped by a villain when she was young
The first half of Akiko's life was dark
There was no hope in sight
There is a very good saying
If you've never seen the light, it's only a matter of time before you fall into darkness.
After her confinement was over
She lost her sarcastic streak.
She began to show a humane side.
At that moment, Jing's husband died of a serious illness.
After a short period of companionship
The notice of Zhang's death made her world fall apart again.
Although she had rehearsed it many times
But when the real moment came
We still couldn't bear the suffocating pain
Just as Jing'er was being overwhelmed
When she was half dead.
It was the prison sisters who kept her alive
Afterwards, the guards who cared for her
They arranged for her to work in the prison infirmary.
I hope this poor woman can pull herself together
She regained her confidence in life.
Life seemed to be quiet.
But fate dealt a fatal blow to the strong Fei Fei
A letter from her ungrateful husband
informing her that he had married in America.
He spoke with no remorse.
As if Fei Fei was his stepping stone.
After using it, she deserved to be abandoned in a dirty corner.
Finally, Fei Fei was no longer fooling herself.
She swallowed pills in the middle of the night to kill herself.
When death came.
Her son's face came to her mind.
She begged Jing'er, who had been a nurse before, to clean her stomach.
People who have died once
She is no longer afraid of death
The old, dumb and stupid self had been killed by life
The newborn her
She had already forgotten the pain that man had brought her
Reborn in blood
Afterwards, everyone changed in one way or another
Even the scruffy fourth sister has become a better person
She is simple and innocent
No matter how bad the environment is, she can sleep loudly and snore
She also wets the bed from time to time.
One day, Fourth Sister wet the bed again
People couldn't stand it anymore
They wanted to throw her into the water basin
At that moment, Jing'er came and took her away
She gently wiped her body.
With Jing'er's gentle words of comfort
Fourth sister also felt that she should fight for her strength
She was a different person all of a sudden
She no longer cowered
Fourth sister was grateful to Jing'er
But she didn't know that Jing'er was also struggling with her fate
Not long after her husband's death
She found out she was pregnant.
Having lost everything, she didn't want the baby to be born.
She calculated that she would follow her husband to the west after paying off the hospital debt.
In the dead of night
She quietly had an abortion
In danger, she was rescued by her sisters in time
After this ordeal
Jing'er finally had the will to live.
Life in prison can always wear a person down
But Xiao Nan, the prick, seems to be an exception
She was the one who reported Jing's abortion to the prison guards.
Xiao Nan had a fight with everyone over it.
The experience of being abandoned in the gutter as a child
The experience of being abandoned in the gutter as a child was like a sharp blade cutting into her broken heart.
She was always scorned and disliked
Humble as a dirty rat
No sunshine
Only hatred for the world.
After the social beating by Fei Fei
Xiao Nan finally faced up to her own heart
Reconcile with himself
Reconcile with the world
Everyone gave Fei Fei's son a warm birthday
Several miserable women gathered together
Enjoying the warmth in the air
On New Year's Eve, everyone dressed up
A small party was held.
Fei Fei discarded the script of her speech
She spoke with emotion from the depths of her heart.
The guards and inmates in the audience listened.
Yes, they are prisoners, marginalized people in society.
The law has not sentenced them to death.
The law has not sentenced them to death, but people have already given them a death notice in their hearts.
Prison should not be a cold, crushing machine.
It should be a place for rehabilitation.
A place to reflect on the past.
I know I have no place to hide in this world
But who are you to judge my soul?
May these special people
May all these special people start a new life here
And may we give them more tolerance
More opportunities
This film is heartfelt
Tear-jerking
Xie Jin's artistic style has been extended and expanded
The film is not very impressive among Xie Jin's many films
However, the film has its own unique value
The conceptual contrast between good and evil in the film is dissolved or at least blurred
but the confrontation and difference between the sexes is gradually highlighted
And it coincides with the unification of good and evil on the moral level
The film is unmistakable
yet the film penetrates these two opposites in layers of narrative
thus penetrating into the viewer's heart
(End)
