She responded to the call of life with painting.

This is a film based on a true story. The prototype of the film's protagonist is Momo Lewis, one of Canada's most famous artists. Modi touches the inner simplicity and innocence.

Modi Louis, a famous Canadian folk artist, used the brush in her hand, tenderness in her heart and love for life to light up her world in the most difficult and difficult life, and described the beauty she saw to the world, warming a marginal person who was as unloved as her.

Modi knew from an early age that she was a different person, born with defects, but a happy child, influenced by her mother's music and art.

After his parents died, Modi grew up with his brother. After my brother divorced and sold his mother's property, he abandoned her. She has no money and can only live in Eda's house, but she finds fault with her every day.

In their eyes, Modi can't take care of himself. She was born with rheumatoid arthritis, with a limp in her right leg and a slight hunchback. But she still wants to apply for a maid. The other is a single man or a fishmonger. His name is Everett? Lewis.

When leaving Menstruation's home in Eda, Menstruation said to her, "If you dare to leave here, never come back." Modi took her luggage, got into Everett's car and said, "Hurry up." No one applied for the job, so he drove to pick up Modi.

Modi has always lived in this small town and has never been anywhere. People see love and innocence in her paintings. She went to Everett? The Lewis family became his live-in maid, and they also started creative inspiration and stories for her paintings.

Modi, who was originally lonely, also saw another kind of loneliness. She said to him, "It must be hard to live alone. You really need help.

"But these two lonely people are different. One refines loneliness into optimism, and the other breeds resentment and violence in loneliness. Everett. When Louis first met Modi, he asked her rudely, "You walk strangely. Are you sick or lame? "?

Nobody applied for the job, Everett? Louis reluctantly accepted Modi.

She needs to keep the house clean, cook, feed the chickens, feed the dogs and cut wood. She is not familiar with all this. The first thing she has to face is Everett's male chauvinism. Seeing the neat table and the uncleaned ground, he was furious with Modi: "I don't accept a disabled person, get out." "

That night, Modi picked up Everett's daily necessities and painting tools that were still on the ground and left the room.

The next morning, Everett, who was sleeping in bed, heard something downstairs and went downstairs to see Momo scrubbing the floor with a brush. His breakfast was already on the table. He went out to work after breakfast.

When cleaning up the housework, she found a bucket of unused grass green paint, which inspired Modi's imagination and used it to paint the old furniture with a new layer of green, instantly adding vitality to the wooden house.

He has repeatedly stressed that he is the head of the family and should abide by his rules. When Modi asked her where she lived, he gave her two choices, one was to sleep with him in the big bed, and the other was to pack up and leave.

In the attic, the tough guy and Modi get along well, and his temperament slowly puts down his guard and anger at Modi's painting talent and gentle words and deeds.

At first, he gave her the priority of this family: first, he, then the dog, then the chicken, and finally Modi. Later, they naturally got married and created a life together, so that when Modi advised him to raise more dogs during his serious illness, he said, "I don't want dogs, I have you." Love and tenderness melted the resistance in his heart

Sandra, a customer in everett, paid for the fish, but it didn't arrive, so she came to the door. In the conversation with Modi, she saw the paintings on the wall through the crack of the door and fell in love with Modi's works. So, from buying her a card painting to ordering her a large work. In this way, Modi began to sell paintings to the outside world.

He didn't forget to tell her not to forget to do housework, look at Modi who is painting, and help her sweep the floor in action. In order not to let the dust fall on the painting, Modi closed the door and the big man continued to clean outside.

Gradually, he is willing to take on more housework, support Modi's painting and help her find a drawing board. Modi signed her and his name on the painting she ordered. Lewis. She told him that half of the painting was his. Everett gave him an unexpected look, and Modi gave him a sweet smile.

Her attitude towards money is different from her brother's. My brother likes money and occupies his mind and thinking. Seeing the news that his sister became famous in the newspaper, he tried to manage his sister's money on the pretext of buying paintings. Modi understood his cleverness and said to him: You are too obsessed with money. My brother chose a painting at random, and Mo Mo told him that the price of this painting had gone up, and the selling price was 6 yuan.

Modi is very satisfied with her life. She doesn't hoard and possess money. All the money she earned from selling paintings went to Everett. She has everything in this wooden house, including survival, love and creation.

As soon as she picked up the brush, she ignored everything. She just devotes herself to the high inner quality of life and blooms in her paintings. She doesn't care what others think of Everett. My brother asked him, "why doesn't Everett expand the house?" Don't turn it on Modi smiled and said, "He is the owner of the house. "She knows what she needs.

She is not kitsch about money. American Vice President Nixon sent her a letter and wanted to order a painting. "I won't give it to him unless he sends money to buy the painting." She told Everett.

Modi doesn't care about the reputation given by the outside world. Although the newspaper advertised her as an artist, she replied coldly to her brother, "When I was a child, you never called me an artist, and now it makes no difference."

The reporter came all the way to this town to report on Modi. Most importantly, in such a simple environment, she used her talents to inject a new way of understanding things into the world.

Sasha jackson Sally hawkins, who plays Modi, said of Modi's paintings: "This is an art that makes you smile at first sight, and then every time you look at it, you will feel something, and you will unconsciously relive it.

Sally thinks her style is very unique and has a rather complicated side. They seem to be a simple combination, with no shadow. "It has a familiar charm and a childlike aesthetic, which is quite subtle."

In the panoramic picture of the film, once he pushed the car to the front, and Modi followed, but now Modi often sits in Everett's tram and they go home together, talking and laughing.

External toughness is also due to the lack of love in the heart, and the strength of appearance is used to show your strength. I can't believe that what I've been longing for is right around me. This gentleness makes him enjoy the sweetness of life.

Modi lived naturally and emotionally, sharing the beauty in her heart with Everett. In the film, when Everett seeks Modi's forgiveness for his gaffes, Modi shows him the clouds in the sky and asks him, "Does it look like a woman with a big ass?"

Colors, seasonal changes, and sincere feelings of people, everything in life is in her paintings. When Sandra asked Modi where the inspiration for painting came from? Modi said: "I don't know, I don't want too much."

Before bed, Everett looked at Modi with red eyes and said to her, "I really don't know why I think you are not perfect." Being loved, Modi died happily.

This touching biographical film has to talk about sally hawkins, the actor of Modi, whose eyes and body are dramatic.

The way she holds the brush, her eyes look up, her bent back and her limping leg. You can see how Modi's physical difficulties have shaped her character. She raised her head trapped in her shoulder and gave a strange but childish and strong smile. This subtle performance, if properly grasped, will destroy the role. Sally's expression truly conveyed Modi's simplicity and innocence.

Especially the scene where she stood by the car and looked at her long-lost daughter. Thin body, curled up into a ball, right hand holding the door, big eyes with fear, worry, but also with self-blame and surprise, complex psychology, in front of the camera also affects my heart.

Long-term immersion in painting, coupled with the torture of illness, made her look much older. She was deeply impressed by such a wonderful performance.

Everett, played by her partner ethan hawke, has a strong personality. Every change of him, the moment when his true feelings are revealed, is also displayed in silence.

A lot of communication between Modi and Everett is conveyed through silence and tiny body movements. In their duet, Ethan's performance did not fade at all, and the tacit understanding with Sally was obvious.

In the film, Sandra wants to learn to draw, and Mo Mo tells her that drawing can't be taught. As long as she wants to, she can draw naturally. ""Through the window, she painted the moment when the world flowed.

Just like life, ideas determine the picture book of life, and everyone feels the taste of life differently. Trust your inner intuition, open your heart, explore and find the powerful source of life we already have!
