The Cider House Rule
Through the perspective of a child who grew up in an orphanage, going out to see the world, experience love, and experience growth, he focuses on the relationship between choices and rules. People always make choices in the constant observance and breakthrough of rules throughout their lives. And thus suffer the consequences of the choice.
The eloquent, slow-paced film style gives people enough experience and thinking space, and through it, they can perceive some American culture and values: abortion, diploma, charity, adoption, racial issues, ethics, love and responsibility... . The film does not dig deep, but the love between the homer and the heroine is not strong. Therefore, some parts were not deeply impressed at the time and needed to be felt through aftertaste.
Homer left the orphanage with confusion and excitement, came to the manor, went to the sea, experienced love, made choices, used medical skills to help people, solved his confusion about abortion, and understood his own value... Finally Back to the place of birth - the orphanage, the greeting is full of warmth: Good night, you princess of MAINE, you kings of New England. It also reflects the inheritance of love.

The rules of the cider house finally realized that it is not that you are not allowed to go on the roof, but that you are not expected to sleep on the roof, because it is not safe, but you can rest on the roof. It's not that it takes away your freedom to smoke, it's that you shouldn't smoke beside your bed, it's easy to cause a fire... These rules are still very reasonable and caring, but they are not preached, and the workers don't understand them.
