"Mo Di" (2016)

Douban score: 9.1

Length: 115 minutes

Reason:

The movie is adapted from real people. This is a love story between two ordinary people - a straight, irritable fisherman and a country painter with handicapped hands and feet. It was shot on a country road and in a simple little house. The tone of the picture is warm, the pace is neither urgent nor slow, and there are no ups and downs of the plot. I have never felt that such an ordinary life can be so warm, and such an ordinary love can be so touching.

Mo Di has suffered from arthritis since she was a child. Her strange walking posture often made her look down upon. As a result, she could not find a job and became a burden to her family. She found her first job through a small ad posted by fisherman Everett for a maid.

At first, the irritable and rude fisherman disliked this clumsy woman, thinking that she was spoiled and incapable of doing her job, and threatened to drive her away. He even made a rule that at home, he should be ranked first, the dog second, the chicken third, and fourth, Mo Di.

But Mo Di, who had a tolerant and tenacious personality, stayed and accidentally started her painting career. She used watercolors to paint birds and flowers on the walls, and whatever she saw through the windows. The fisherman made no objection.

Later, the unique style of Mo Di’s paintings attracted the attention of many people, and she gradually became famous. The TV station came to interview, and US Vice President Richard Nixon also wrote a letter personally requesting the painting. Mo Di and the fisherman's daily relationship brought them closer and closer, and they became a happy couple that everyone envied.

As the two grew old together, Mo Di's condition gradually worsened. The two taciturn people do not like to express concern for each other directly, but they always take care of each other's emotions. The fisherman felt that Mo Di was becoming more and more famous, and that in the eyes of others, he was just a cold, rude, and unhuman fisherman. Mo Di didn't care and told him, "Why should I leave you? You gave me everything I wanted."

"We are just a pair of lonely socks, we found each other and warmed each other. ”

“You are unusual, royal blue, and shining.”

“I don’t like most people in this world.”

"They don't like you either."

"That's right."

"But, I like you."
