The struggle between ideal and reality is a compromise or a reconciliation

The first time I watched the movie after reading the original book, I was very depressed. Meg and Amy always had a sense of inconsistency at first. The reality and the past were frequently interspersed. annoying. After watching the movie and the book again, I can feel a lot more. I understand that Joe has no feelings for Laurie between men and women, they are not suitable, and Laurie and Amy are true love, there is no doubt about these two points.

Castle in the Sky, what makes Joe the protagonist.

At first Meg wanted to live rich, not to work, to be a rich mistress. Joe wanted to do something memorable, write a book and make a lot of money. Laurie and Amy, a musician who wants to be famous and enjoy life, and a painter who wants to be the greatest. Beth just wants everyone to be safe together. In the end only Joe gets his wish, which is why she is special.

Ordinary People's Happiness - Meg

Meg, the prettiest, not much thought, traditional type of woman. Wanting to live the life of a rich man, after the setbacks of the "fancy set", the teachings of his mother, and then feeling the goodness of John, he fell in love. In the days of poverty, there are unwillingness, happiness, quarrels, and understanding. Finally resisted the yearning for money, married love and maintained it.

Reality Dare - Amy

Dedicated to wanting to be a member of the upper class, he will be well-mannered and loved by everyone. Laurie has always regarded her as a little sister. In fact, there was a lot of play in childhood. After many years of getting along with Laurie in Europe, Laurie slowly discovered the beauty that he had not discovered in the past, and his relationship became warmer day by day. Amy also discovered that in addition to pursuing money, it is necessary to follow her inner feelings and pursue love.

Things that are too beautiful always have a premonition that they cannot be kept. -Beth

Love music, kind, shy, and give silently. There is a sense of detachment from reality. As he said, he never thought about the future

three people

In their careers, Laurie and Amy are similar in that they mistake talent for talent. Joe, who loves freedom, is indeed not fit to be Laurie's mistress. "I've been turning pages and trashing them like I used to trash exercise books. I'm starting too many heads and never getting results." It was Amy who kept Laurie from floating around and running his career Doing good deeds has become a "wife control" that cannot be separated from the little wife.

Married or not

If Joe and the professor get married, they are good soulmates, and they also avoid the loneliness that is inescapable of being single. If there is no knot, it is also very good, and freedom is not bound in the end.

Meg chose love and poverty, Amy gained love and bread, but her only daughter was not very healthy, Beth was a beautiful and short-lived beauty, Joe realized her ideal, and the ending of the book could not be freely controlled. Maybe it's really a happy story? Sorry, it always feels like a deliberate happy ending.
