The legendary story compiled by the Oxford Dictionary is about hard work, perseverance, forgiveness and love. American Captain Miner, who has experienced war trauma, was tortured by persecution and paranoia, and accidentally killed the father of a warm family of six children. He was sentenced to a mental hospital and opened the prelude to the film. Professor Murray, who has no formal degree, was invited by the editorial board of Oxford University to be the editor-in-chief of the English dictionary that made history because of his knowledge, perseverance and diligence.
The intersection of the two people is driven by Murray's sharing model in this era of pen and paper and manual editing. It has to be said that the model pioneered at the end of the 18th century inspired Wikipedia is unknown. Miner, who was deeply tormented by delusions of persecution, saved a guard and gained respect in an accident in a mental hospital, so he accidentally participated in the process of editing the dictionary. Knowledgeable and knowledgeable not only promoted the progress of the dictionary, but also eased suffering from mental illness. The widow who was killed by mistake gradually understood in the hatred and realized Mina's pain and kindness, and a secret relationship developed between the two.
Everything seemed to have a bright future, but Yan Yan Gao Zhao suddenly came to an abrupt end, Murray was maliciously excluded from the editorial board, and a slap from the murdered daughter and what if the widow loved, let Miner fall into painful self-blame , self-castration, and the treatment of rigidity in the psychological world at the time, and the body and mind were on the verge of collapse. When Murray was ecstatic, it was the support and hard work of his beloved wife that opened up the light. Before Miner was gone, it was Murray's friendship and the forgiveness and love of the victim's widow that saved the soul.
As a movie, it has to be said that the plot is full of ups and downs, full of personality, excellent performance, and tearful plots abound. Even the supporting roles are exceptional, with the unbearable guards, the responsible commissioner, and even a cameo of Churchill. Coupled with the superstar demeanor of Gibson and Sean Penn, the connotation and story of the film are highly recommended.
In essence, the torture of human nature is worth thinking about, what is a complex human nature and an independent personality, the knowledgeable Miner and the diligent Murray flash with the desire and effort of goals, and the female characters are both Murray's wife and the victim's widow. Out of tenacity, support, forgiveness and love. And kindness and love are the root of human existence and continuation.
Highly recommend.
