The storyline of the film is clear: a handsome and wealthy man, Louis, mail-orders a bride from the United States. The bride is beautiful and sexy, and Louis falls in love. But I didn't expect the bride to be a liar. Soon after the wedding, she defrauded Louis of almost all of her money and disappeared. Luis was so devastated that he sat alone in the empty room, thinking "I want her back". After many setbacks, Louis finally found her - the wife who claimed her real name was Bonnie. The anger of being betrayed and the hatred of being deceived vanished in front of Bonnie. He embraced her again, and even charged her with murder for her. , at the cost of bankruptcy. Who would have thought, all this is just another new scam. When he followed Bonnie to the brothel, what he heard was that Bonnie was conspiring with her partner Billy to poison herself. Staggering back to the house in the dark, Louis was waiting for Bonnie and her poison. Louis tells Bonnie that he already knows everything, but, in order to prove his love, Louis still drinks the poison. Bonnie regretted so much, she took Louis to escape Billy's pursuit, and even to protect Louis, snatched the gun from Louis's hand and shot Billy in front of the patrolman. Bonnie is sentenced to death, accepts a deathbed confession to a priest, and miraculously escapes from prison. At the end of the film, Louis and Bonnie are cheating together while playing cards with friends. Bonnie is very tempting to face the camera, sliding her hand gently over her neck.
The low and slightly cheerful Cuban-style snare drum rhythm in the film adds an intoxicating and obsessive mood to the whole film. The blend of sex, desire, temptation, sin and love makes it impossible to give a simple right or wrong. judge. At the beginning of the film, a plain white face and calm eyes: "You can't walk away from love". It is destined to be a movie about love. In the beginning, men have no concept of what love is, and marrying a wife is like buying goods just so that she can have a child for him - like everyone else. Get married at nine o'clock, you can go back to work at ten o'clock, and there is no need to delay anything. At the pier, facing the dazzling sunshine, the bride's face could not be seen clearly, but a low and charming "Is that you, Mr. Louis?" was enough to disturb the calm heart. Low-pitched music, obsessed eyes, sexy and slightly mysterious allure of women, what can be more confusing than this? The love that is doomed at the first sight of the encounter, the one who loves helplessly and commits many crimes, the other who loves without reservation, the reputation, status, wealth and even life can be abandoned. But the woman said, "It's not a love story. But it's a story about love."
Indeed, this is not a love story, but a story about love. When I watched "Original Sin" for the second time, I suddenly understood that what the film tells is actually the story of love and lust, redemption and original sin. Under the temptation of Satan, Adam and Eve, the first ancestors of mankind, went against God's will and stole the fruit of the tree of life. Since then, mankind has been born with sin. And this sin is caused by desire, and almost all sins of human beings are also related to improper desire. Desire is the beginning of sin. Love is also sin, because human love arises out of lust. Desire is to possess, to possess constantly. Human love also contains possessiveness. Once possessing is not possible, hatred will arise. However, love is also the way that God gives mankind redemption and self-redemption. When love surpasses desire and is close to God's love, it becomes a constant giving without repayment. Therefore, love and lust are like angels and devils facing each other on their backs. When the human heart swings between lust and lust, people alternate between the roles of angels and devils. There is such a line in "Original Sin": "Love is to keep giving, and desire is to keep getting". The film is full of lust. Bonnie and Billy kill the real bride while they are on the boat for a marriage scam; Billy is insatiable and forces Bonnie to continue cheating on Louis, when he jams Bonnie's neck hard. When you say "you are mine", the fire of desire burns in your eyes, to get, to possess, even if it is a crime! And what about Louis? Louis loved, and he paid, but when he learned that he was betrayed and cheated, he was still angry, "I will think of her on sleepless nights. She may never know how much I love her, so she also Wouldn't know how much I hated her the moment she left me." He picks up the gun and looks for Bonnie everywhere, finds Bonnie, but falls deeper in love. For love, he was charged with murder; for love, he cheated with her and was beaten violently; for love, he gave up his wealth and fame to run away with her. When he was desperate and even sinned in the name of love, he also fell into the valley of sin. The desire to love is the root of sin.
If Louis' love only stops at owning Bonnie, that is, when he discovers the conspiracy of Bonnie and Billy, instead of drinking the poison, he exposes them and even takes revenge on them, then what is said here is nothing more than A love and crime story. However, at the beginning of the story, the heroine said: "It's not a love story. But it's a story about love." So, Louis took the poisoned coffee and said to Bonnie slowly, quietly, and painfully. : "I love you, whether you are good or bad, whoever you are, I just love you", and then drink the poison I know. At this moment, Louis' love has gone beyond the ordinary sense of love, it has no desire, it only has simple giving, complete and regretless giving. And only love in this sense comes closer to the love of God, the love that made Bonnie turn her back on and kill Billy, who was full of greed and evil, and it was the love that made her Miraculously escaped from death row after confessing to the priest on his deathbed; it was the love that kept Louis alive and well in the end. This is the redemption of love to Bonnie, and the redemption of love to Louis in the real sense.
So, this is a story about love. Original sin is the origin of human love and desire. Love is both sinful desire and God's way of redemption for human beings. There is also such a line in the film: "Love is reserved only for those who believe in it." Then, the same is true for God's love, it is reserved only for those who believe in it, and only those who believe in it can get the real redemption.
Attachment: Original sin ---- (Original sin) The word comes from the Christian legend, it refers to the "sin" that human beings are born with and cannot be washed away. The Bible says: People have two kinds of sins - original sin and original sin. Original sin is the sinful nature and evil root left over from the sin of the ancestors, and original sin is the sin committed by each person in this life.
"Original Sin" is one of the important theological propositions of Christianity and one of the important doctrines of Christianity. Christianity believes that Adam and Eve stole the "forbidden fruit" and violated God's will, and "fallen short of the glory of God". Man is born a "sinner" before God. Even infants who die immediately after birth, although they have not committed any sin, are still sinners because of their inherent original sin.
