Love is original sin, love is redemption

The word original sin comes from Christian legends, referring to the "sin" that is inherent in human beings and cannot be washed away. In fact, after watching the whole film, I still don't quite understand why the film is called "Original Sin". Seeing this name reminds people of the sins of human nature. It is true that the film is about love, desire, and nature, but as the heroine said, this is not A love story, but the story is about love and the impact of love on life. It is by no means an erotic movie. A handsome man buys back a sexy and beautiful bride and falls in love, but the bride disappears with all the money soon after. The male protagonist is deeply affected, and he is obsessed with the bride. When he finally finds the female protagonist, he forgets all the injuries he has suffered, and is charged with murder for her. Never thought that Chixin always pays by mistake, what he got was her and his poison. In order to prove his love, he chose to drink the poison. She came to her senses, took him to escape from the pursuit, and killed her former partner for him. She was sentenced, but eventually escaped from prison. The rhythm of the film is low and slightly cheerful. Desire, temptation, sin, and love are intertwined. As viewers, we cannot simply say who is good and who is bad, and who is right and who is wrong. Human nature, desire, who can say clearly. Everyone in the film has desires and sins. The heroine and her partner kill the real bride for a scam. The partner is even more greedy. Desire is to want to possess, to be insatiable, to want more, and love is rooted in desire, and in most cases is also possessive. It's not that all love is desire, it's possession, it's the nature of most people. However, love is also the only way to redeem all these sins. When love transcends desire, transcends the nature of wanting to possess, and tends to expect nothing in return and ask for nothing, it is redemption, redemption of the evil in one's heart. When the male protagonist says "I love you, whether you are good or bad, whoever you are, I just love you", when he drinks coffee, his love has already surpassed the desire to possess, he doesn't just want to have one Her man, he no longer has the desire to get to her, but pays without regret and without asking for anything in return. His love also influenced the heroine. The heroine betrayed her greedy partner, went to prison to accept the confession to the priest, and he himself was able to escape from danger. This is the redemption of love for each other. Sin, love, and redemption have been running through the whole film. If the male protagonist knows that the coffee is poisonous, he debunks the conspiracy and takes revenge on the female protagonist. According to the logic of the matter, there is nothing wrong with it. Perhaps it is the most correct way. Then this film is about desire and crime. The story is the complete original sin, and the ending of the film tells us that love can be redeemed, that love is not only possession but desire, but also giving, giving without return. Redemption is the redemption of both sides of love. In fact, as far as I am concerned, I don't quite understand the male protagonist's method of redemption, and even feel a little stupid, maybe because I don't have a deep lover like the protagonist, maybe it's too rational, but it's not that I can't understand this kind of behavior You can deny his essence, the essence is love, and it is the redemption of love to a certain extent. There are many kinds of love, which originate from desire, and there are many kinds of redemption, which originate from love. I haven’t learned redemption, but I know redemption, and I know another way of expressing love, or a higher level of love.
