Let's talk about the music first. Combined with the movie footage, all I can think of is the word "calm". Sometimes the scenes we encounter in our lives are so peaceful, but if there is no catalysis by some other factors, it is difficult for us to realize that we are in this peace. Music just happens to be the perfect catalyst. There is a kind of beauty called artistic conception beauty, which often appears in music and poetry appreciation. When I heard the music, the picture in my mind was exactly what the film showed. It's a wonderful feeling, as if someone has read your heart. This kind of feeling is definitely higher than "playing an opponent at chess" or "meeting a confidant with wine". Because there is also a power in it - calm, which is different from the first two in that it is enjoyed by one person, no matter how humble the generation of this feeling is in the eyes of others, just like a beggar who is addicted to smoking squatting The street corner enjoys half a cigarette discarded by others.
The two brothers in the film have their own personalities, but they have one thing in common, which is their love for fishing. This love is directly passed down to their father, a small-town pastor, for whom all good things are the grace of God, and grace comes from human inspiration, which is hard to come by. It is their different personalities that create their different ways of loving beautiful things, one is manifested in action, the other is hidden in the heart. Watching the full movie, most people will probably come to the conclusion that Paul was born a wild and unruly person. In fact, I feel that there is a deeper reason here. His kind of wild and uninhibited is another understanding of his father. The reason is still in his father's attitude towards life. "All good things are the grace of God, and grace comes from human inspiration, and inspiration is hard to come by." It comes down to one sentence, so good things are not so easy to get. What he thinks is worthwhile is good things, and once such a thing happens, he will definitely do it to the end. So he borrowed a boat and drifted in order to become famous; so he gave up going to college, just because his hometown could fish; so he took Indian girls to white bars and danced; so he borrowed his brother's good fortune to pay debts Heavy casino, eventually pays the price. Life is just a carrier for him, a carrier that allows him to get those beautiful things. After seeing that things about him have subsided, I think such a character is worth it.
It would be the end of the movie if it only got to this point, but no matter how beautiful the picture is, such a movie cannot be praised for it. Near the end of the film, the protagonist's dialogue with his father and his father's prayer at the service elevate the entire film. The protagonist said that perhaps we only know that he is a master fisherman. His father said, you know more that, he was beautiful. During the service, his father uttered the following words, "Everyone here today, at least once in our lives, can visit a loved one in difficulty and ask them this similar question, and we would like to help, What do you need, whatever? The reason why we rarely help those around us is that we often don't know what we can give, or what we have to give. So those closest to us make us elusive But we can still love them. We can love people with all our hearts that we don’t fully understand.” This may be the great love that is often spoken of in religion, or a father's nostalgia for his son, but one thing they both have in common is that we can love them even though we may not be able to fathom them. , to love those who we thought would be with us for the rest of our lives and would not disappear so easily.
Until that day, when the people we loved but didn’t fully understand died, our hopes, expectations, and other emotions were all settled in our memory, like stones at the bottom of a river, although no one knew it, it was true It is there, and a river runs through it.
