sadness and anger
Kiley 2022-04-23 07:02:10
What is sad is those children who are abandoned at birth, what is sad is that outdated medical equipment easily takes a small life, what is sad is when a child asks sadly: Why is no one willing to take him away. The sad thing is that their lives may be spent there all their lives, and the sad thing is that the old doctor's life was just for those children. What is angry is that adults cannot control themselves rationally, what is angry is that parents who were supposed to be responsible have disappeared, and what is resentful is still in such an environment, such an era, such an institution has not been well supported and supported. Homer is a good doctor taught by the old doctor, but he left the orphanage who wanted to go out and see the world. After the doctor died, he realized that he did not have a heart disease, but the old doctor was afraid that he would be captured and sent to serve as a soldier. Become Fitz's sick film. The father had a relationship with his daughter and finally died at the hands of his daughter. The love between the heroine and Homer was not made public. When the heroine's lover joined the army and finally returned paralyzed, everything seemed to be destined.

After all, the group portrait of children is still Holstrom's best film theme. Everyone will gradually recede their innocence as they grow up, accept the laws of life, and return to their established destiny after they have tasted the freshness. I really like the ending of the film to a group of orphans in the house, "Good night, the princes of Maine, the kings of New England." The soothing background music is also enhanced, and Maguire and Theron of the same age look more like mother and son. non-couple

[Mr. Rose is lying in bed, bleeding to death. He's just made Homer and Muddy promise to tell the police he was so upset over his daughter Rose running away that he killed himself]
Arthur Rose: That's right. That's the truth. I'm just tryin' to put things straight. Sometimes, ya gotta break some rules, to put things straight. Ain't that right, Homer?
[He looks at Homer who nods with reluctance resignation as he finally accepts this truth]
Arthur Rose: [Smiling] Good.
[Then the light leaves his eyes and he's still]

[Opening narration; a couple of snippets of interspersed dialog are omitted]
Dr. Wilbur Larch: In other parts of the world young men leave home and travel far and wide in search of a promising future. Their journeys are often fueled by dreams of triumphing over evil, finding a great love, or the hopes of fortunes easily made. Here in St. Cloud's not even the decision to get off the train is easily made, for it requires an earlier, more difficult decision - add a child to your life, or leave one behind. The only reason people journey here is for the orphanage.
Dr. Wilbur Larch: I came as a physician to the abandoned children and unhappily pregnant women. I had hoped to become a hero. But in St. Cloud's there was no such position. In the lonely, sordid world of lost children, there were no heroes to be found. And so I became the caretaker of many, father of none. Well, in a way, there was one. His name was Homer Wells.
