Fate is impermanent

If Samuel hadn't died, Susan would have been married in a white wedding dress like every happy teenage girl.

If the rails hadn't been frozen, Alf wouldn't have fallen in love with her, and she wouldn't have seen Tristan again.

If Susan had met Tristan a little later, they might have been together.

But it turned out not to be the case. God is like a prank, letting fate keep playing with Susan. I think she must have had an epiphany suddenly, to go to death with such a rejection in her eyes.

Because of the same woman, because of the same temperament, I always look at this film from Susan's point of view. I followed her shyly and smiled, followed her into love, followed her deeply helpless, followed her in despair. I could feel almost every emotion in her. In the end, however, I still felt that she didn't have to die. Because fate is so impermanent, there are too many people who face tricks and hold down their regrets, regrets, and pains in their hearts, but in the end they can sigh and continue to live.

Isn't that what life is like? The person he loves the most, he can't live with him forever. The most suitable person, but there is no way to invest in such a passionate love. Those memories that they knew they should let go of, just ran out and tortured them over and over again. Tristan said he cursed God. Yes, who doesn't curse? For most of the world, fate seems to be playing one bad joke after another.

Therefore, most of them have learned to compromise and laugh at themselves. In those nights when people silently recalled the torture, they would also recite the old saying of "taking pity on the person in front of me" to persuade the beating heart in the depths.

However, Susan did not do so in the end. She once said: forever is too long. But she still couldn't let herself give up. There are always some people like this in this world, maybe their numbers are getting fewer and fewer, but there will always be. Paranoid, repressed, entangled in the past... a person with a temperament.

    I also admit that the song "The Ludlows" written by James Horner is very good. Without this soundtrack, the film would drop one grade, so the director would really cover the entire film. After listening to it, it would have to be done dozens of times. It's really too full. The movie came straight from the beginning, too deliberate. In 1994, when the film was crowded together, frankly speaking, the film seemed a bit inferior. Americans also seem to particularly like to take pictures of this kind of history of the prosperity and decline of the whole family for decades under the background of the great era. There are Indian massacres, the First World War and Prohibition, etc. These kinds of people are either named "Past Events" or "Legendary", which can indeed impress a group of people, but after watching too much, it will be a little lacking, and I always feel that these people are quite good. You did it, look at your second brother, it was a good day, but he actually went out to be the One Piece, hahaha. Anthony Hopkins' acting skills are always online, and it looks very exciting, but 26 years ago, Pete was so tender that he was so tender, and in the end he had to be arranged to die in the hands of the bear, forcibly ending the legend...

    God is unfair. Some people are born with blood that is different. They pursue wildness and freedom, and they are not trapped in the world. Brad and Anthony interpret what is called a performance at the actor level, and what is called family affection and what is called a real man. The last scene reminds me of The Godfather.
