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
“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
《我们讲述的故事》：我们在乎的情感

作为纪录片，《我们讲述的故事》可以算既中规中矩，又有点出人意料。中规中矩，因为它沿用了许多经典的纪录片元素，比如人物访谈；出人意料，一方面是因为它的主题，或者说它的缺少核心主题；另一方面是因为萨拉·波莉启用了专业演员来扮演部分纪实场景，并丝毫没有向观众掩饰这种表演式的记录行为。
印象中的纪录片似乎总该有个宏大的主题，或者最起码应该关乎一个群体的共同记忆。即便是温情如《寻找小糖人》般的纪录片背后也有着一定程度的宏大背景：罗德里格斯曾经是一代南非人的精神领袖，虽然他本人并不知情，且围绕他的消失也有着各种疯狂的谜。所以，当《我们讲述的故事》带着一个家庭内部的枝节，甚至是丑闻来到我们面前的时候，或许我们对记录片的传统期待会遭到小小的动摇，也可能会想萨拉·波莉拍摄这部纪录片、并且把家族秘密搬到大荧幕上供人消费的初衷是什么。但“为什么”这个问题渐渐变得不那么重要，因为直到影片结尾萨拉·波莉也没有能给我们、她自己和家人一个明确的答案
