Modi

Building a bridge with books or images, peeking into the warm and rich souls of others and enjoying their "high-light moments" are probably things I never tire of. That kind of feeling is like accidentally meeting the "I" in the novel narrative, chatting for a while, and then going their separate ways.

This time, I met Marty Louis, a Canadian painter's biographical film Modi. The story of a painter and her husband who is sick but passionate about life is like a trickle.

0 1 "We are a pair of lonely socks"

Many years later, her husband Louis found the job advertisement he wrote many years ago at home, which was completely sealed in an old iron box in Momo. The paper is yellow, the handwriting is still clear, and there is a nail hole in the upper right corner of the thumbtack.

Their story began that afternoon.

Luis, a local fisherman with a bad temper, urgently needs a maid to take care of his daily life and clean up. Momo, who lives under a sponsor, needs a job to escape from Aunt Ida's home.

She suffers from arthritis all the year round, and her walking posture is crooked and she looks very fragile. However, her physical uniqueness did not hinder her rich imagination and passion for painting.

Modi knocked on Louis' door and started her career as a "live-in nanny".

At first, Louis didn't give her a good look, but as Modi decorated her gloomy home with his own brush, he gradually opened her heart. At first, she drew a shabby closet, and then painted birds and flowers on the wall. She uses the world in her eyes to make her home warm and beautiful.

The grumpy Louis, in the current words, is a "mouth-to-mouth" type. While complaining that Modi only cares about painting, regardless of housework, he silently sweeps the floor himself.

Modi said that she needed a screen door at home. There were too many mosquitoes to concentrate on painting. Louis sternly refused, but in the end he silently installed a screen door for Modi.

My favorite movie scene is that Modi holds a small yellow flower with a happy face and marries Louis in a simple ceremony.

After that, Louis pushed Momo all the way with a trolley. In the lavender twilight, Momo still held Xiaohua, looked at Louis from time to time, and then giggled. In the distant mountain shadow, it is their simple and simple happiness.

Back home, in the dim light, Modi's toes danced on Louis' feet. They talked like this, as if the whole world were still.

I don't know if I have ever heard a better love story. It's not a pledge of eternal love, not that love is stronger than gold, but that I like you as you are, and I am willing to be patient with you for a long time.

Milan Kundera seems to see more thoroughly. He said: "metaphor is a dangerous thing, and people can't play with metaphor." A simple metaphor can produce love from it. " Metaphors in love are undoubtedly dangerous. Ordinary things become unique because of your words, and will always maintain an irreplaceable position in your heart.

Whether you are a broken sock, a mottled gray wall or a boiling enamel bowl. I like all of you.

Just like in Friends, Ross accidentally learns that Rachel likes him, and he needs to choose between his current girlfriend Julie and Rachel. Monica and Chandler gave him a suggestion and listed their advantages and disadvantages. Rachel has many shortcomings, such as waitress, arrogant and willful, silly elder sister, and even fat ankles. Julie has many advantages, and everyone thinks that Ross will definitely choose Julie. As a result, he said that Julie's only shortcoming was, "She is not Rachel." She is not wrong, but she is not Rachel, and love is irreplaceable.

02 "The warmth and coldness of life are frozen here"

A local woman in new york became Modi's bole and friend. She asked Modi:

Painting is Modi's way of looking at the world. She looked for inspiration in her daily life and naturally created a beautiful image.

As Rilke said, "No experience is too small, that is, the development of a small event is like a great fate, and this fate itself is like a strange and vast fabric. Every line is attracted by an infinitely gentle hand, which is next to another line, and thousands of lines balance each other. "

Because of arthritis, her body is confined in a small room, but through a window and a pen, the world in her eyes is still bright and cheerful, and she is full of interest in life. It is enough to have a lover and a brush.

Although Modi lost her home, her daughter was sold to a wealthy family by her brother and aunt, and she was often laughed at and bullied by others for physical reasons. When Modi first went to Louis's house for an interview, she was stoned by a child on the way.

"Beauty is a wonderful and peculiar thing, and artists can only be shaped from the chaos of the universe by torturing their souls." Of course, she was miserable, lost, and perhaps afraid, but beyond that, she created the world she wanted on cards and boards with her immortal passion for life and a rough courage.

Modi is a painter. President Nixon wrote to her asking for paintings. She and Louis live in a small house. They already have the whole world.
