“Paints of Happiness, Maud Lewis, Painter of Love” (16) A clumsy and frank proposal
A touching love story starring the great actor Ethan Hawke and Sally Hawkins from " The Shape of Water " (2017) as a married couple. Maud (Hawkins) is a woman who has suffered from severe rheumatism since childhood and is unable to live a fulfilling life on her own. She starts working as a housekeeper for Everett (Hawke), a clumsy, misanthropic fish peddler, and before they know it, they become husband and wife.
This film is a biographical film about the life of Maud Lewis, a real-life painter who continued to create her work at her home in Canada, but it is also an outstanding love story. It is not a sweet married life, but a realistic portrayal of a couple who clash and hurt each other, but each time they reaffirm their love for each other. Hawke and Hawkins' skilled and skilled performances touch the hearts of viewers deeply, making this a work worthy of the title of "masterpiece."
The proposal scene between Maude and Everett is also very interesting. As they talk about marriage in bed, Maude reveals that she once experienced a stillbirth. Everett is left speechless by this shocking confession, and the topic of marriage becomes taboo between them. However, Maude's paintings begin to gain recognition in the public eye, and things slowly start to improve. Then, when Maude tells Everett, "You need me," Everett makes the decision to get married, something he had been reluctant to do up until then. It's by no means flashy, but for the two of them who have grown closer over time, those words carry special meaning.
A man and woman who are outcasts from society have chosen the future of becoming husband and wife. The tranquil world view and modest daily life, along with Lewis's gorgeous and heartwarming paintings, will surely provide viewers with a rich experience.
