It’s good to translate "The Cider House Rules" directly into "Cider House Rules", and it’s pretty literary to make something like "There is always a scorching sun". In fact, these people didn't understand or didn't understand this video at all. The director is the same as "Different Sky", a very pragmatic director.
I have a lot of troubles, but I don't know where to start. Just like my good friend Xiaoling. Her boyfriend is in Beijing, she didn't go abroad, and now she takes a driver's license at home. Separated from her boyfriend, and then went to work in his father's factory. Recently, one of her close friends was in a car accident. Today she told me that it was annoying. I also understood.

I moved out the words I copied when I was still in college, and those words are still in the first diary of my blog. This should not be my first diary, because I deleted it while writing, and many of the words are out of date for me.
"Summer is the season of irritability and trouble, and bitter heat drives people away. In summer, when the heat rises high and the sky becomes a piece of red-hot iron, people will often involuntarily return to the original and barbaric road. bleeding, not hate is love, love is not hate everything and more to the extreme, such as electricity to burn a roaring thunder to the middle is not easy to have a compromise way. "
or talk me through the most Watch the movie-"There is always a scorching sun".

The male and female protagonists in "There is always a scorching sun" are now famous Hollywood stars, so this director is really good at watching people. The leading actor is Toby Maguire who plays "Spider-Man" and the famous heroine is Charlize Theron. At that time they weren't even Hollywood stars.
The story begins in an orphanage. I like the opening paragraph. It is a memorable one: "In other parts of the world, young people leave their homes, and they travel thousands of miles to find a bright future. The journey is full of dreams of good luck and avoiding evil. Pray for true love, or hope to get rich easily."

St. Cloud Temple, Maine, March 1943. Homer has grown up in an orphanage. Doctor Larch is the doctor and dean of Shengyun Temple. He needs to perform operations on pregnant women during the day and tell stories to the children at night. He was so busy and nervous that he had to anaesthetize himself to sleep. Countless pregnant women who are at a loss come here to give birth and then abandon their children in orphanages, some of them come directly to abortion. Doctor Larch always wanted to educate Homer on all the knowledge of being a doctor, because he saw that Homer was special. But Homer is unwilling to do this position. He chose to escape. In his eyes, those pregnant women do not control themselves well and do not cherish themselves. He is unwilling to help these "guilty" pregnant women. But is this the case? Are these pregnant women all lewd and do not know how to control themselves?

The children in the orphanage are very cute. Doctor Larch likes to tell them horror stories. While they say why Larch tells them horror stories, they say that they actually like such stories. Doctor Larch told them horror stories and heard them creepy; he showed them the movie "King Kong" and saw them frightened (if you know anything about the movie "King Kong", you know that in 2005 Peter Jackson's "King Kong" The first black-and-white film "King Kong" was released before it was released), but they all liked it. Don't think that their hearts are fragile. In Shengyun Temple, they are no worse than the children outside. Just like bronchitis, Fizz, who cannot be stimulated, is also very cute. Before going to bed, he asked Doctor Larch many seemingly naive questions. For example, he asked: Do you have a father? Do you know your father? What is immigration? What is a nanny? He is curious about the world. They don't know anything about the outside world, but they have a great time.

Homer has a young heart, he always yearns for the outside world. Until I met Candy and Wally who came to the Shengyun Temple to have an abortion. Wally is a soldier, and Homer finally found the opportunity to take a look outside. Wally took Homer away and took him to the orchard at his home to do the bottom line of hard work: picking apples. So Homer lives in a cider house with a bunch of apple pickers. There, Homer experienced all the so-called excitement of the outside world. Wally continued to serve in the war, leaving Candy alone to guard the vacant room. So alone, Candy and Homer had erotic desires. When you are happy for a while, things will happen. Wally was coming back, but Wally was paralyzed by an accident. It seems that Homer and Candy are going to part with the flow again.
And Homer also met a few friends during his work. Rose is one of them. Rose became pregnant after returning from a seasonal vacation, and the child's father was Rose's father. This incident touched Homer a lot. They lived and worked in the same place, so incest happened. He began to understand how small things he had previously thought. Perhaps many women became pregnant under environmental persecution, and they are also victims. Doctor Larch had told Homer earlier that someone had to make a decision for them. Whether it is good or bad in the future, someone must help them at this time. Otherwise, their lives may become more terrifying. Doctor Larch chose his own life and stayed at Shengyun Temple all his life. Doctor Larch is worried about who will choose Homer's life? In fact, no one can choose for him, he can only choose.
The wall in the cider house has rules: you can’t smoke in bed, you can’t climb on the roof to eat, you can’t run to the roof at night... Rose's father said that the broken rules are those who have not lived in this broken place. , The law should be determined by the people they live here. But in fact, all the rules are for their good, but the parties ignored them. It's like Doctor Larch paved the way for Homer, but Homer doesn't appreciate it at all. That is to say, in the end, the world has to be chosen by ourselves, it has nothing to do with anyone, and the help of others is only an aid. Those women who are pregnant have already decided that even if Homer does not operate on them, they will find someone else to do it. If Homer does not help them, the consequences will be even more serious if they find some black market doctors.

So here comes the question of the meaning of life. In an issue of "Eight Minutes to the Open Book", Liang Wendao introduced a book called "The Meaning of Life is a Jazz Orchestra". He said, now, if you want to study philosophy in prestigious universities, such as those in the United States and the United Kingdom. During the interview, the examiner asked you why you should study philosophy. If your answer is to find the meaning of life, then that is not a popular argument. The more influential argument now is that if a person becomes a vegetative, is he no longer a human? If he is not a human, it doesn't matter if we can kill him? This kind of topic has just entered the stream.
Nowadays, many people no longer think about the meaning of life. Everyone feels that after thinking about it, nothing seems to change. But is it really meaningless? Just like Homer, he continued to roam outside, returning to the position of Shengyun Temple to replace Doctor Larch and staying safe and staying here as a doctor for a lifetime. Which one is considered a meaningful life? However, for me, whenever I am at the intersection of life, I can particularly feel the power of the meaning of life.

We modern people always feel that this world is boring, deserted, and nihilistic, so we want to go back to religion and define our own world. But this problem did not exist in ancient times, because if you were born in a family with Catholic beliefs, then you were born into a Catholic believer, and the world is certain. But now the world we live in is uncertain. There are many questions and many unknowns. It has become a very boring world. We are so bored that we have to learn religion and choose religion by ourselves, so the purpose of modern people's belief in religion has also become very boring. Bizarre. Therefore, Homer has a lot of questions about the place to replace Doctor Larch in Shengyun Temple, there are many unknowns, and many do not understand, so he has to go outside by himself.
Since the book talks about the meaning of life, we must finally find the meaning of life. According to "The Meaning of Life is Jazz Orchestra", the book says that we should form a more beautiful whole through free interaction with others. On the one hand, we have practiced when we are free, and we have achieved self-realization. On the other hand, this freedom can be shared by everyone. So I said that Homer returned to Shengyun Temple to be a doctor, and it has a positive meaning in life to perform operations on women who will have children or abortions. And he didn't waste his skills, both self-fulfilling and helping others.
Modern people tend to be self-fulfilling without helping others. For this world, it doesn't make much sense. And they also had a bad time.
Xiaoling told me that she feels a bit of walking dead in her current life. I asked her: Do you think the current life is not what you want? Then we must want to understand everything, and then try to realize what we want in life.
