Mothers' sincere love Often you want to distract from the everyday bustle and in the evening, after work, watch a movie that will allow you to relax and forget the emotions of the past day. If you want this effect, I suggest you watch it. After watching it, you will forget that you have just been worried about a torn shirt or heard the running sound in your car.
This is a low-budget drama, built on the use of an excellent transfer of feelings and emotions of the characters. here you do not need expensive scenery or graphics, by the way, the shooting is well implemented on nature, and the profession of designer Mary will allow you to look at the excellent view from her house to the sea and the design of the building itself.
You probably already know the story, I won’t retell it. The main thing that remains after watching on the soul. And there is a very valuable feeling that a person can do a lot, and we, who live in this modern world, are just mired in small things. We talk about cars, we think about what color to paste wallpaper in the nursery, etc. But the real life is passing by us.
From the first minute we are told what wonderful children the two families have. In the English family of Martha, a beautiful son Ben, cheerful, good-natured guy who goes to Africa as a volunteer and wants to be useful in life. In the American family, Mary’s son, George, is an equally kind and cheerful teenager bullied by children at school. Mary finds out about this, confidently takes action. Planning a six-month tourist trip to Africa.
And in the end, we see two mothers who sincerely and very much loved their sons, who not only came to terms with their death, they did not become depressed, they did not destroy the family (although I had the idea that Mary and her husband would separate, their positions on continuation were too contradictory), they did not give up - they went forward, they fought, Mary even got the help of her father, who, being a politician, paid little attention to his daughter and grandson. At the end of the film, two trucks with humanitarian aid for an African village are shown - dozens of saved children's lives, hundreds of calm souls of parents and loved ones who escaped tears of loss.
Phillip Noyce’s good directorial work demonstrates the vividness and reality of the picture. In general, the film turned out to be very interesting and emotional, despite the non-star cast and not a huge budget.
