The rules of life

The movie "The Law of Cider House" has been the recommended movie in the last unit of my "High Quality Film and Television" class in the past two years. I think the weight and connotation of this movie, as well as the overall state of art, can be a good show for a semester. To say a little bit off topic, the last part of the whole performance is the big shaft, and the final part is the penultimate part. I remember very clearly. In the first semester of this school, a girl who majored in choreography started to rub my class from the second week. She was very fascinated by the venue and almost never missed a section. Her presence naturally gave me a lot. Encourage. In the last unit before the end of the semester, I recommended "The Law of Cider House". In the second half of the movie, I noticed that she cried so badly that she seemed to be unable to herself, so that after turning on the lights, she was in a bright environment. Feeling embarrassed. I remember I told her at the time that I saw her crying so badly because of this movie. I wanted to comfort her and encourage her. I told her that I felt very good. Seeing her usually serious face, now I Knowing that she was originally so emotional, which is of course very important for an art student. Naturally, there must be her personal reasons why she was so moved, and it may not even have anything to do with Holstrom. Perhaps "The Rules of Cider House" is just an introduction. Just like many years ago, when "The Bridge of the Last Dream" was released, the "Beijing Youth Daily" made a special topic called "Watching Other People's Stories, Streaming Your Tears". "The Rules of Cider House" was adapted by writer John Owen based on his own novel, and therefore won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. Only by reading the original can you know how complicated the original novel is. The Chinese version is 480 pages, and the translation is more than 400,000 Chinese characters. The script of the movie simplifies the story of the doctor Webber Latch and Homer to the point where it can hardly be simpler and just right. This is a waste of words. What is just right. Think of a saying about sculpture, take a stone, and then remove the excess. That's how John Owen picked up a thick and sloppy book and got rid of the extra. Delivered to Holstrom. I have never been a rational audience, and I have never tried to make rational analysis after watching a movie. My classmates and I also said that the aesthetics of watching movies comes first, followed by rational analysis. When it comes to acting rationally, I feel a little bit, Sanmao's love can't be said, can't be said, it's all wrong to say it. In fact, I think Mingbo's "workbook" said that the best film reviews add up to four words: enjoyment and boring. If you feel good-looking, you say you enjoy it; if you feel bad, you say it's boring. I am emotional. As long as I hear the opening music of "The Rules of Cider House", it is like a cool summer night breeze across my body, and my hairs stand up one by one. I haven't even thought deeply about what moved me, is it so much helplessness in the movie story?

    After watching a very warm movie, I have the urge to watch the original again

    Three and a half years, the orphanage part is more touching, but Charlize Theron is the time of beauty.

The Cider House Rules quotes

  • [Homer reads the actual Cider House Rules to the illiterate workers]

    Peaches: What do they think, go up to the roof to sleep? They must think we're crazy. They think we're dumb niggers, so we need some dumb rules, is what they think.

    Rose Rose: That's it? It don't mean nothin' at all. And all this time I been wonderin' about 'em.

    Arthur Rose: They outrageous, them rules. Who live in this cider house? Who grindin' up those apples, pressin' that cider, cleanin' up all this mess? Who just plain live here, just breathin' in that vinegar? Well, someone who don't live here made those rules. Those rules ain't for us. We are supposed to make our own rules. And we do. Every single day.

  • Homer Wells: I'm not a doctor. I haven't been to medical school; I haven't even been to high school.
