我们讲述的故事

纪录片的表演性的一个很好探究案例。一开始我还在疑惑，怎么能把以前的往事拍的这么全，后来才知道是找actor演的。但是home camera的这种拍摄很有趣，和采访分开来叙事不像一个传统的纪录片。我们总在要求纪录片要严谨的客观性，但是只要有人参与，所有的画面都是有选择的，拍摄、剪辑，每一步都是主观的，哪怕你全部用长镜头，也无法避免这个问题。所以纪录片的要展现的不仅是客体本身，而应该是客体之间的关系，以及和观众的关系。绝对的形式上的客观性不应该成为衡量一个纪录片是否优秀的理由

“Love’s short, forgetting’s long,” says Neruda. As a documentary that structures from the “stories” (plural as in different perspectives and reactions towards what happened, not necessarily what actually happened), in terms of “stories we tell”, to “telling”, that incorporates all that contradictory yet common feelings and words that have to be expressed towards the absent Daine, the climax of Sarah’s biological father, and the meaning of their own lives from th

就像纪录片中的很多人问的那样，为什么要记录这样一个影片，是为了还原有关戴安娜的一切，用回来来怀念她。还是为了还原所有的事实，寻找到所谓的真相。亦或是，萨拉在面对两个父亲的存在时，通过这样一种方式来减轻内心的挣扎。
可为什么认为在做一件事时，总会问“为什么”。意义真的有那么重要吗，就像那一无所知的苍蝇只是完成上天赋予它本性命运该有的样子而不去管为什么是不是也是一种意义。

影片中所有人都试图在找寻真相，比如谁才是萨拉的亲生父亲，比如戴安娜到底爱不爱他的丈夫，比如在戴安娜临死前她的内心经历怎样的挣扎。凡此种种都随着戴安娜的离去没有了标准的答案。戴安娜是幸福的。因为即便离去了还有许多的人在怀念他。她的丈夫说一个在你生命中生活了二十几年的人，突然离去，不那么容易遗忘。相爱很短，遗忘很长。

影片的最后很滑稽的结局，戴安娜曾经的情妇终于松了牙关承认他和戴安娜发生过关系。可这一切似乎都值得原谅了。
纪录片没有电影那样激荡起伏，因此也更为真实，更为直击人心

This film directed by Sarah Polley was funded ad produced by the National Film Board of Canada, which won the Oscar for best documentary film in 2013. To be honest, this is my first time seem a documentary film, due to the requirement of unit study, but it does gives me a strong impression that documentary film can be so interesting and attractive. Polley made this film in a subjective style, about a woman and her relationship with her family, however the film gradually changed the key point of this story from the secret love affair of the woman, Polley's mother, to Polley's birth secret. By employing several interviews with siblings and others which holds different perspectives, Polley represent the story in a subjective way. To make this film actively, she also used real Super-8 home-movie footage and fake Super-8 reconstructions, which she showed at the end of the film, even ask Mi

In 2023, in recounting the story in a podcast Sarah said her version was absent in the film, and she only wrote it out after her father has passed away in 2018, so he would not have to bear the hard feelings of the self exposure of his daughter.
