to experience

This film deals with more than one aspect, about abortion, about love, and about responsibility.

Homer asks how Candy can always wait and see, but isn't Homer himself reckless when he falls in love? Mr. Rose is actually reckless when it comes to falling in love. Is Homer's behavior justifiable? Simply because there are no serious consequences.

Larch's persuasion did not make Homer go home, but Homer grew up step by step from his own experience, and had a deeper understanding of responsibility and emotion. I think Homer's initial distaste for abortion was due to its simplicity. Simplicity is not always good, so what we seek is not simplicity, but truth. But truth can only be pursued, not attained.

I feel like I don't see things deeply, so I accept all experiences, good and bad. Experience and think, you can grow, and you will not lose your time.

The second half of the plot is more compact and better than the first half, and almost all the parts that reflect the film's ideas are in the back.

The Cider House Rules quotes

  • Fuzzy: Is your father dead?

    Dr. Wilbur Larch: Cirrhosis. It's a disease of the liver.

    Fuzzy: What, a liver killed him?

    Dr. Wilbur Larch: No, alcohol killed him. He drank himself to death.

    Fuzzy: But did you know him?

    Dr. Wilbur Larch: Barely. But it hardly mattered that I knew him.

    Fuzzy: Did you know your mother better?

    Dr. Wilbur Larch: Mm-hmm. She's dead now too. She was a nanny.

    Fuzzy: What's a nanny do?

    Dr. Wilbur Larch: She looks after other people's children.

    Fuzzy: Did she grow up around here?

    Dr. Wilbur Larch: No. She was an immigrant.

    Fuzzy: What's an immigrant?

    Dr. Wilbur Larch: Someone not from Maine.
