Labor Day - In love with falling in love: Kate Winslet
Trying to catch love, feeling love or experiencing love; if one of these is not for you, you can choose to see love in the 2013 movie Labor Day. After watching the movie, the only thing that stayed in my mind was that there were many scenes that showed that you were watching love.
It was a real pleasure to watch the paths of two different characters who are in love with falling in love, which somehow intersect and then separate again, and what they go through in the 5-day period when they intersect causes a lifetime of waiting.
A man condemned by fate and a woman who does not object to her fate after what she has been through and imprisons herself in her house by punishing herself; the biggest similarity between them is that they are both prisoners, but the biggest difference between them is as clear as the fine line between accepting captivity and objecting.
The paths of two different lives that intersect for one reason or another can be described as being reborn, living life together from scratch or wiping the slate clean and starting over from scratch, but the story of the movie is so beautifully crafted that the webs of fate and reshaping are reflected to perfection.
First, the sense of curiosity is triggered by mysterious scenes about their pasts, and a bit of light is shed on them. But in between the mystery and the story that comes to light, the characters create their own stories and place them in the middle.
Each character adds extra power to the movie. In fact, the two characters who take on the love theme of the movie have an incredible backstory. The atmosphere created while watching the way their bond strengthens through their past experiences; instead of wondering about the next scene, you end up wanting the current scene not to end.
The script of the movie is quite simple but has a perfect story progression. The harmony between the characters in the story and the way the problems in ordinary life were reflected in their behavior was worth seeing. I also liked the way the past story is connected to the new story, where one story ends and the new story begins without too much questioning of the whys and wherefores.
Without hesitation, my favorite actress in the movie was Kate Winslet as Adele. She was very striking with her flawless appearance as both mother and wife. Although years had passed since the betrayal she suffered, it was clear in every scene that she wanted to reflect the scars she carried. When she wanted to hide it, she was successful in reflecting her pain. She reflected her tides and hesitations to the audience without having to speak. She looked like a woman "in love with falling in love" with the character she portrayed.
If you have the idea of watching a calm movie that doesn't make you think, I can say that Labor Day is exactly the movie for you, but if you are closed to emotions and especially love, you may find the movie boring. It's the kind of movie that those who watch it won't lose anything, but those who don't watch it may lose the atmosphere that can bring out human emotions at the highest level. That's all from me and I wish a good watch to those who will watch it. And thank you for being here and reading.
