Compared with the translated name of "Always Hot Sun", the Cider House Rule is more of a desire for me to explore.
I hadn't read the original book, and accidentally found out that this movie was attracted by the title and watched the movie adaptation. It gives me the feeling that the first 75 minutes of the film are relatively dull, and the last 45 minutes begin to exert force, and there are several plot turning points. Probably only the last half hour is the part that I don't want to fast-forward at all. The overall rhythm is relatively gentle, the screenwriter tells a story, there is no climax and exciting plot, just like walking in the warm sun of spring, the feeling of the breeze blowing on the face, although gentle but slightly dull, so the whole film It seems that my touch is not very big.
As for the theme of the movie, my biggest feeling is that maybe this is a story about me becoming you when I grow up. When we were young, we had all kinds of dreams and wanted to explore and try too much, but what do we really need? In the past, homer wanted to go out, and he left the town to explore the possibility of life, and also grew up in the face of confusion. And when Dr. Larch left, he really made the choice of his life path, and took the initiative to choose to return to the orphanage to inherit the mantle of Dr. Larch and become a doctor. But other than that, I don't have a deep understanding of the rules of the cider house, so after reading some introductions to the original plots, I have a little understanding of what the author really wants to express.
As for the plot, I don't know if the author deliberately satirized the social status quo, including cheating and incest plots, some of which made me unacceptable. However, there are still some plots that touched me. For example, at the end of the film, homer learned the news that Dr. Larch had left, and looked out the window and choked up. I don't know how sad he must be when he didn't see the doctor for the last time.
For example, homer decides to leave Apple Manor and return to the orphanage to become a doctor. When he leaves, he sees Wally who is injured and candy who is determined to take care of him and embrace him. But he is like someone who doesn't belong here, and he should leave when the time comes.
What moved me the most was the scene of homer returning to the orphanage. There was a kind of vicissitudes and relief over the years. The children in the orphanage embraced him happily when they saw him coming back.
When the nurse took out the perspective view of the heart he brought back, he said that he thought it was his, but the nurse told him that there was nothing wrong with his, but that Dr. Larch lied to him because he couldn't bear to see him suffer in the army.
At the end of the film, he sits in the office of the original Dr. Larch, which will be his seat from now on. Gives me a feeling that the years are ruthless and life is impermanent.
Finally, this time it was his turn to tell the children a bedtime story. That's how he said it,
you princes of miane, you kingdoms of England.
What a warm and lovely sentence, he said to the children, just like Dr. Larch used to do.
It was only later that I found out that the male lead was Spider-Man and the second male lead was Ant-Man. No wonder they were so familiar. The film has won several Oscar awards, and it must have its own advantages. Although I prefer the Count of Monte Cristo's film with fascinating plots compared to this kind of quiet storytelling film, it also gave me feelings and feelings. Harvest, I hope I can read the original book if I have the chance. After all, as a novel, its content is definitely richer and more complete, and it is easier to resonate with me.
The last picture is left to the protagonists
