Hidden Meanings Behind the Movie, "Maudie" (Spoilers)

Ойын-сауық

Selected by "Conscious Movie Reviews," "Maudie" is a biopic romance and drama film. When Maud Dowley was forced to live with Aunt Ida, she was miserable under her care for having debilitating rheumatoid arthritis. By taking a job as a live-in housekeeper for Everett, a gruff fish peddler, Maud claimed her independence, using art for greater self-expression by painting outdoor scenes of Nova Scotia throughout his tiny home. As opposites, they grew in attraction to each other and became husband and wife. Requests for her artwork first were made by Susan, a New York journalist, which lead to widespread publicity and growing fame. Maud attracted many admirers of her paintings from far and wide. Her popularity upset Everett. The locals who watched their televised interview saw him as cold and cruel. This upset him for bringing up his emotional woundings, like mistrust, from childhood abandonment as an orphan, that hurt their marriage.
Maud Lewis died in 1970. She has become one of Canada's most beloved folk artists.

    Sally Hawkins as usual gives an incredible portrayal of the main character of this movie. She is such a talent that should never be overseen. Bravo to this incredible actor.

    Sally Hawkins performance was spectacular and moving throughout. At it's core, it's a story of two lonely people, who find comfort and solace with each other.

    Of the comments yours resonates the most for me. I only just watched it for the first time - watched it twice more and wiped back tears every time. I too can't stop thinking about it. Am trying to convince my wife to watch it. Trust Canada to produce a masterpiece.

    Stating that Maud's rheumatoid arthritis was a reflection of her emotional state ... rather than the greatest contributor and cause of her emotional state ... is incredibly ignorant and irresponsible.

    @@consciousmoviereviews9730, my objection is that your review is fully of whimsical (at best), pejorative (at worst) pseudo-psychological interpretations of Maud's personality and emotional state as the cause of her illness. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that is both debilitating and deforming. Individuals struggling to deal with this illness while trying to live a semblance of a normal life, suffer physically, psychologically and emotionally as a result of the illness, not the other way around. Worse yet, in Maud's case, she was treated by her family as though she was mentally defective as well as physically challenged and denied the autonomy to make her own decisions. These realities kept her insecure and dependent on them. It was a different time and a different place. In the end, she managed to shine in spite of it all. Imagine what her life might have been like had she received the medical and emotional support that kids with RA receive today.

    @@lydiainphoenix Thank you for your response. I do have a professional background in holistic medicine. We recognize the emotional and psychological side of disease, besides looking at it as just a biological pathology. You can't separate the body, mind, emotions and spirit when it comes to a chronic condition. Drawing from training in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, emotions can be stored in the organs and musculature. That's a body of knowledge that Western Medicine has yet to understand. If you ever study emotional states as it relates to disease, you can have a propensity towards a particular condition. Also, I have treated many cases of Arthritis in the clinic to address their physical symptoms and underlying factors that contribute to it that's not typically addressed by their doctors (with a predominately Western Medical background).

I produce the "Beyond 50 Radio Show" that is hosted by my husband and we've covered many topics on natural healing as it relates to the emotional side of disease.

    OlympianFilms - I'm from the east coast of Canada and Sally's Maud made me both sad and happy somehow. It reminded me of the first memories of my home when I was a child... In a great way. Maud was so quiet and frail, but loud and strong at the same time. I've never watched such a sad movie and felt so strong from it afterwards. I think its my favourite movie ever.

    i really enjoyed this review...with one exception..everett may have been shattered (so was maud) but he took the decision to be an angry, bitter and self centered man. their marriage was filled with neglect, lack of empathy, and a lack of respect. everett, at least portrayed in the movie, was a sociopath/ narcissist. and maud, bless her heart, took his abuse, surely believing she deserved no better. this is just my opinion, and i don’t really know if it’s right or wrong, it just upset me to hear and see some of the same things i experienced in my own marriage. thank you for this very thoughtful and well made review. i love this movie and maud.

    Michael Alvarez: I agree that not many outside of Canada are familiar with Maud Lewis, which is a shame. She seems like such an endearing women with a child-like sensitivity. That's rare as you get older. You either mellow out or become bitter. Child-like with a renewed sense of wonderment and growing wisdom is a higher level than most as a state of beingness. To see it on the screen is special!

    All I can say is that maude definitely married the wrong person. I saw a clip where he hit her and he did emotional abuse by saying things verbally that made her feel bad like when he said u have less value then the animals instead of equal value. As someone who has been abused I don't take it or anything that reminds me of it. I hope that man suffered amd so did her emotionally abusive aunt
