“Maudie” Stuns and Inspires Audiences

Juvenile arthritis awarenessis in high gear – with Juvenile Arthritis Awareness month and two JA Conferences being held between July and August, this is the perfect time for director Aisling Walsh’s movie “Maudie” to hit theaters in most major markets.

“Maudie,” based on the true story of Maud Lewis, follows Maudie’s debilitating experience with arthritis throughout her life. Set in 1937, the movie begins with Maudie painting flowers on a wall with great difficulty. Sally Hawkins’s portrayal of Maud Lewis shines, as she next contorts her body to seem very small as Maudie sits smoking on the porch of her shrewd Aunt Ida’s house (Aunt Ida is played by Gabrielle Rose). Upon learning that the house will go under construction, Maudie is quick to find an opportunity as a live-in maid in a tiny shack with a gruff man named Everett (played by Ethan Hawke). And though rocky at first, the optimist and the pessimist, both social outcasts in their respective ways, begin a relationship.

就像在现实生活中一样,莫迪将她对绘画的热爱运用到她的新生活中,尽管这对她来说是多么痛苦。她在墙上、零散的木块、家具上画画,任何她能找到的东西。就像真正的莫德·刘易斯一样,她没有让自己的残疾阻止她,甚至没有让她后退。莫德·刘易斯后来成为加拿大最重要的民间艺术家之一,对那些有残疾和没有残疾的人都是一种鼓舞。

The film artfully depicts the story from beautiful shots and backgrounds to the amazing acting by Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke. It is about showing, not telling. It’s not even revealed that it is arthritis that Maudie has until about two-thirds of the way in. But Sally Hawkins’s outstanding acting, through her posture and movements, shows Maudie’s arthritis even without naming the disease.

This film serves as an inspiration and a bit of an underdog story, depicting just how much we can achieve despite the difficulties and obstacles in our way. Sally Hawkins as Maudie accomplishes what she loves even through debilitating arthritis (stemming from childhood rheumatic fever) and circumstances as an outsider (a social reject). Truly, Maudie is a Champion of Yes, showing how to live a full life, despite arthritis or a disease.
