Poetry

Throughout the entire movie Poetry Mija is searching for what to write her poem about and a beautiful way to say it. As she is doing this she is running into many obstacles like facing the fact that her grandson was raping a girl who committed suicide and just being diagnosed with Alzheimer. After starting her poetry class she decides to take notes over everything she sees that translates into something poetic. After hearing the poem at the end of the movie that threw all of her ideas and thoughts together I wonder if she was searching for a poem, or answers to what was going on in her life. Whenever she was faced with those issues she seemed to have a breakdown and lose it. Like when she went into her grandsons room and started yelling at him or the few times she would just start crying out of nowhere. It wasn't until her poem was done that she found an inner peace and came to a conclusion that she wanted to end her life (At least thats how I like to think this movie ended). I believe she was confused about so many things in her life, she subconsciously answered them with her scattered thoughts put together, and decided how to end her struggles.
