always lost yesterday

I might be wrong about this movie.
A very quiet, very calm expression has always been on Homer's face. The author does not know if this name is a metaphor for our Odyssey-like long life, the way home?
An orphanage, a hospital that also has an abortion function, a desolate station where trains rarely stop, a group of isolated orphans and a doctor who exists like a god, the film's tone is dark, and the orphanage is cold white.
He has never been influenced by the outside world since he was a child. He is pure, honest, kind, and longs for the outside world. Even if he knows it is hurt, which young man is not like this.
The plot of reading a story to the children in the house is very warm. We may have been so innocent. How can we lose it? Must we take the loss of innocence as a rite of passage?

The Cider House Rules quotes

  • [Candy is sitting on a dock: inconsolable after receiving the news about Wally]

    Homer: Just tell me. I'll do whatever you wanna do.

    Candy Kendall: Nothing.

    Homer: Isn't that like waiting and seeing?

    Candy Kendall: No. Nothing's nothing. I want Wally to come home. I'm afraid to see him too.

    Homer: I know.

    [Homer starts to put him arm around her and pull her close]

    Candy Kendall: Oh, don't do that, Homer.

    [Dejected, he puts both hands in his own lap]

    Candy Kendall: I just want to sit here and do nothing.

    Homer: To do nothing. It's a great idea, really. Maybe if I just wait and see long enough, then I won't have to do anything or decide anything, you know? I mean, maybe if I'm lucky enough, someone else will decide and choose and do things for me.

    Candy Kendall: What are you talking about?

    Homer: But then again, maybe I won't be that lucky. And it's not my fault. It's not your fault. And that's just it. Someone's gonna get hurt, and it's no one's fault.

    Candy Kendall: I don't want to talk about this.

    Homer: If we just sit here and, we wait and see a little longer, then maybe you won't to choose, and I won't have to *do* anything!

    Candy Kendall: What do you want from me? Wally's been shot down. He's paralyzed. What do you want me to do?

    Homer: Nothing. I'm sorry. You're not the one who has to do anything.

    Arthur Rose: You are forgettin' yourself now. This is my daughter! Now, I believe ya have your own mess ya gotta deal with.

    [Mixture of astonishment and relief washes over the Roses]
