Such works are like foreign classic and famous works in the library. It is meaningful but a bit difficult, mainly because of cultural differences, and many points cannot be fully understood. For example, the theme of this film, the rules in the cider house: 1. Don't smoke in bed; 2. Don't operate the machine while drinking; 3. Don't climb the roof for lunch; Sleep on the roof; 5. Don't climb on the roof at night...I really don't know what I'm talking about.
If the film actually wants to express a kind of life law, then the deep meaning of it is also more difficult for modern people to understand, or it can be said that everyone has their own understanding. More often, different life experiences will feel completely different.
I prefer the first half of the film, the delicate description of the orphans, the soft place in my heart is touched gently. The second half is completely indifferent. The overall feeling is like a breeze blowing, the water surface is slightly rippling, and then there is silence.
The cast is interesting: future Spider-Man, future Ant-Man, future Batman's butler and future Mad Queen. Here, there are still ordinary people. Here, they can't save the world, can't change their destiny, they can only accept the plain life. Try to feel a ray of sunshine on such a light day.
