I found it from Johnny Depp's movie, and later found out that Jonny Depp is only a supporting role with a short time on the screen, and the heroine is not a routine, so I almost wanted it when I saw the 1/4 part. I gave up, but I didn't expect that, after holding on for a while, I felt more and more the deep charm of this movie.
If I had to use a few words to describe this film, it would be human, contradictory, delicate, real, moving. This is not an ordinary romance film, but generally speaking, it is a warm film with the creator's idealized pursuit of the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature.
The climax of the conflict begins with a 70th birthday party for grandma. The grandmother completely released herself and lived her life, but she also paid the price of her life for this. The people in the town were led by the heroine to party on the pirate's ship, which showed that the people in the town had undergone another qualitative change, from accepting the heroine to accepting the pirate. Grandma's daughter's thoughts began to undergo a qualitative change because she saw that her son had never been happy. The love between the heroine and the pirate began to sprout, but it was at this time that the mayor's anger at all this arrived. peak…
The character of the mayor was originally a character who was quite stubborn about the old etiquette, the only contradiction in him. It might be the wife he never showed up, because he couldn't stand his rigidity and didn't want to go home. His marriage in name only was the biggest pain in his heart. But is it because of his longing for his wife, or because his wife's actions have affected his reputation?
The pain of marriage, the challenge of the heroine's arrival to the small town order controlled by his old and pedantic thoughts, and the last straw that broke him - the one he tried to transform a man who was addicted to alcoholism and domestic violence into a gentleman People were inadvertently bewitched by him to commit arson and illegal things. He began to feel a violent struggle in his heart, his old patience was gone, and he began to question everything he had never doubted and insisted on. The moment he picked up the knife, he thought it was schizophrenia, and he was going to do something extreme. He didn't expect the plot to turn. He actually took the knife to the chocolate shop and smashed all the chocolates. The funniest thing is The chocolate chip that accidentally stuck to his lips completely seduced the most real desires of his humanity. He gnawed on chocolate frantically out of control, completely throwing the thought of abstinence behind him...
After that fire, and the death of grandma, the heroine rekindled the idea of leaving. In fact, when I first heard her tell the story of my grandfather and my grandmother, I thought she liked living without a fixed place and wandering around, but I only understood when I saw the conversation between her and the pirate captain on the ship about wandering. When it came to her, there was actually a contradiction in her heart, and the idea that her daughter didn't want to leave once again brought such a contradiction to the fore. When she decided to leave, it was the peak of the conflict in the plot. But her grandmother's urn, which was accidentally broken in the quarrel with her daughter, suddenly woke up her true desire. She was not the same as her mother. She wandered around with her daughter, which seemed to be normal, but perhaps It's not what she thinks in her heart. It turns out that she is the same as those who live for others!
Although the wandering habit left by her mother still disturbs her mind every year when the north wind blows, but in the end. The scene of throwing the last handful of ashes into the wind shows that she is about to start living completely for herself.
So in this movie, the heroine and the mayor seem to be two extremes, but in fact they are solving the same problem. That is to lift the bondage of oneself and bind everything on oneself. Whether it is feudal ethics or the customs of the previous generation, it should not be copied from the original class. Regarding the teachings, the last speech of the little priest has already said. It is a very fundamental problem, and that is what needs to be passed down. As for the wandering customs of the previous generation, they should respect their habits, but inherit their tolerant minds of being a family from all over the world, the realm of love, and constant love, and the heroine did this!
