Who Cares About Life_ A Taiwanese Film Discussion
Original interview 🎬
Can Sex Awaken Vegetative State Patients?【電癮好選喆Top movie picks】
https://youtu.be/hpK_fcVQAfo
This episode discussed the characters in the Taiwanese TV movie "Who Cares About Life?". One of the characters is Jia Lee, described as a modern woman who is constrained by traditional family values due to her love for her husband in a vegetative state, leading to an internal struggle1 . This situation raises questions about how old-fashioned values apply when facing such a challenging and, in a way, very modern situation2 .
Then, they mentioned Millian. Her situation sounds incredibly tough3 . She faces constant pressure from her mother-in-law to have a child with her husband who cannot communicate4 . The actress playing her deeply understood that feeling of misery and helplessness, even the absurdity of her daily life4 . The actress mentioned watching a specific film as research to get into that headspace4 . The speakers noted that the pressure to carry on the family line is very damaging in many families, and you can feel the weight of that just hearing about Millian's situation, that invisible burden4 .
The creators felt that Millian's character was actually the hardest to play5 . This was mainly due to her complex internal state, described as having "seven ways of crying"5 . This refers to the mixture of repressed emotion, resentment, lingering love, and the complicated feelings about her husband's potential death – would it be relief or deeper pain, and what would her future in the family be6 ? The actress portraying Millian had to convey all these intricate emotions, which was undoubtedly exhausting6 .
Behind the scenes, the actress playing Millian also mentioned the physical strain of the bed scenes with the actor playing her vegetative husband, Zangi (吳政迪)7 . Additionally, there's a very poignant scene where Millian leans on her husband's chest and shares all her feelings with him, even though he cannot respond normally7 …. This scene brings up the profound question of whether he is aware on some level8 .
In summary, the character named Millian in the drama faces a very difficult situation with extremely complex emotions, making it a significant challenge for the actress6 .
