But I didn’t expect that the chocolate that I opened today would be of this flavor. At first, Bernie gave a lecture to the students and taught the dead’s makeup techniques. I thought it was a horror movie, or there would be more bloody shots, and I was eating at the time. As a result, I immediately stopped the movie and restarted after the noodles I swallowed were almost digested. And Bernie, he might not have thought that the chocolate he would eventually give him after living his life would be so bitter. Bernie is an out-of-towner who applied to be a funeral director in the small town of Carthage, Texas. With strong makeup skills, respect for the deceased, sincere comfort to the family of the deceased, moving singing voice, and ubiquitous Bethune style The spirit of helping others, although sometimes a bit of an idiot, was suspected of being gay, but it quickly won praise from the residents of the small town.
Mrs. Nugent, a stingy, withdrawn, and eccentric rich old woman who doesn’t have much contact with all her relatives, and everyone in the town-maybe except a barber-is not a friend, even because of money After being sued by her granddaughter, after the death of her husband, there was almost no one to talk to in her life. It was precisely because of the death of her husband that Bernie entered her life. At first, Bernie was just to comfort an old widowed lonely and helpless widow. It was exactly the same as for other people. This was his life and character. If you change to another person who is comforted, you may become a good friend after being touched. But Mrs. New is different. For her, anyone’s care is an extravagant desire. Because of this, she slowly and tightly grabbed Bernie, hoping that he was driven by her alone and must be called on call. Come, accompany her to dinner, go shopping, watch opera, and even help with business. Bernie was also enjoying it, but later I couldn't tell whether he was simply for comfort and company with Mrs. Nugent or to enjoy the life of the nobles who traveled in first class, stayed in luxury hotels, and traveled all over the world. In the end, the old lady’s desire for control destroyed herself and Bernie. I believe this was not a deliberate murder. The moment Bernie raised his gun, his brain must be blank, but the so-called " "Killing with passion" is just a pale defense. Before the law, it is a fact that the right to deprive others of their lives is true. As for whether the criminal is a good person or a bad person, that is not what the law cares about.
But what I believe is that this is actually my own choice. Economic status determines life status. During the time he was with the old lady, the money he spent was the old lady's, and the old lady would treat him as a personal property. This is human nature. Then again, the line that Mrs. Nugent wanted to control Bernie was only money. She didn’t use a gun to force him all the time, nor did she implant a life and death talisman in him, so if Bernie It is easy not to be controlled, and leaving her will not harm his reputation. The people in the small town will only add a weight to Mrs. Nugent's harsh evaluation. Bernie may already know the will of Old Lady New who let him inherit the estate, so he is unwilling to leave. He wants to consume the other party to death in a tolerable situation, but the other party's madness and desire to control make him lose his reason.
I think the views of the town residents on this matter are worth pondering. In their eyes, Bernie is a good person, and the old lady New is a bad person. Bernie is forced to be helpless. She deserves the crime. They judge guilty based on their past impressions. Not guilty, this simple value is really terrifying, if Bernie is really found not guilty locally, it is to explain to the outside world: here in Carthage, the law has no use, we are speaking for God. Because of this, McConaughey (BTW, I remembered that I made this movie because of him) played the prosecutor’s decision to send Bernie to a trial field so important, not only for himself, but for the town. This is true for the entire United States and even humanity. I believe that the director has described the facts objectively, but when I was watching a movie, I couldn’t help but hope that Bernie was found not guilty, and I have figured this out now, and I think the residents of the small town will gradually Understand the determination of prosecutors to maintain legal dignity. And this ending is the best for Bernie. At least he can still be missed by his friends. In prison, he can still be respected that other prisoners don’t. If he is released, he may wear the hat of a murderer for the rest of his life. And pressure, the phantom of the old lady New will always follow her, far from living calmly in prison.
Finally, a resident of the small town said that how God judges is the most important thing. Yes, where Bernie spent the second half of his life, the law has the final say, but what he thinks in his heart is just a guess. The clearest thing is probably only God.
