Perhaps, Tom and Gerri were the sweetest couple I've seen that. Perhaps, Mary was extremely complained about the single middle-aged women I’ve seen that.Perhaps, Karl was the most foul-tempered filial children I've seen that. I would like to say that all of the above the" most” is not really what is what, but cause of the British director Mike Leigh in the lens depicted in "Another year" is penetrating enough to confused as real ones so I think the "most ". Of course, the word "most" also include the meaning of "best”. Because the best, so I have to take this opportunity to share the film called "Another year" of the British triumph.
"Another year" in Chinese name called 《一年未緣》that the significance of The "year after year ". A pair of sweetly married life, the old couple as the core of the story, they were lived with the other 4 characters(Sons - Joe, his wife's female colleagues - Mary, her husband's friend -Ken, Tom's brother - Ronnie) through the 4 seasons together.The other 4 characters they were included patrons and tenant, but they also have in common point that they also have different worries. However they were using the four seasons to show different little seasonal variation in the human story of the gains and losses. However, at the end of story, they were chooses to accommodate, then they were laughing and talking about the past together. In that way, their life was turned in a circle again.
The director-Mike Liegh delicate description of the different human relations and let audiences to thinking about the meaning of story. Mike Liegh’s movies were mostly realism. The plots were not much surprise, but rich in detail. However, Mike Liegh was practical to write to the most insignificant little people's stories. For example"Another year", sometimes it would be making the audiences feels touching heartwarming, accusing impassioned and helpless. However, each character and scenes also is likely to be portrayal and feelings of us. Looked at their life, its make us to thinking of ourselves and people around us.On the other hand, the 4 seasons were bearing each people’s happiness, angry, sadness and joy. At end of the story, the baby birth was indicating that the life was just like the four seasons.
When I was watched "Another year" I was feel like I tasted the five flavors of life. In fact, we will through the joy and sadness in everyday. Whether than the livelihood was happy or not, we also must to continue to live. In that way , why you not let yourself living be better ? I believe that may be the director wants his audiences to comprehend the philosophy of life.

The review is mainly organized into three parts, including the introduction of the film story, the style of the director, and then your personal feelings as an audience. For the part on film director, you may talk more about Mike Liegh’s works and illustrate how his films represent a kind of realism (you may introduce a few of his famous works, just quote their titles will be fine). In particular, some scenes or dialogues can be cited from the film to elaborate your points.
ReplyDeleteIt’s good to share your personal reflections on life after watching the film. This demonstrates the meaning-making and identification process of audience. Perhaps you may provide us with more information/descriptions of the main characters, and discuss/analyze the worries they are facing (just now we have no ideas of the “content” of their worries). This can certainly help us to grasp the message you decoded.
