2017/12/16 Saturday "Dust and Mist Homeland"
When I saw one-half, the sentence that came to my mind was "One person's misfortune is another person's luck, in other words, one person's luck is another person's misfortune."
When the hostess suddenly lost the house her deceased father left for her and her brother, when she could only store everything that once belonged to her in the warehouse, when she couldn’t even pay the rent for a dilapidated motel, another family member Moved into a new home as expected. They arranged their homes according to their own customs, dismantled the roof decorations and built them into small balconies that can watch the sunset and the sea. They rejoiced and finally had their own home.
When the hostess met Leicester, was carefully helped and cared by Leicester, and later fell in love with him and entangled in bed, Leicester's wife and two children were waiting for their husband and father to return home . They didn't know what happened. The wife took care of her husband as always. The children still expected their father to pick them up, but Lester was bored. They were anxious. Why didn't they return home?
Seeing the end of the film, the sentence in my mind was changed to "I have never felt that death is so easy, and I have never felt that death is so heavy."
All the tragedies seemed to happen in an instant. Before we could see how the colonel’s son was hit, everything happened: the son was wrapped in white sheets and parked quietly in the rescue room, and the colonel personally fed his wife a lot. Looking at his wife’s sleeping pills, he looked cold, so he put on his proud military uniform, put a plastic bag on his head, wrapped it around with tape, and held his wife’s hand tightly. We went together like this; Lester was arrested, and at the last minute he went in, he dialed a phone call to the house, and all that came out were cheerful messages from his wife and children, and the life he used to never return; female The Lord was wandering, confused, and frightened by the sea, and finally decided to return to that house. In the end, two bodies were waiting for her. She began to regret it. At the last moment, she admitted: This house is not mine.
Everything was finished in less than 20 minutes (approximately), and finally back to the beginning, the police car rang, the hostess took a breath of cigarettes, and the fog continued to hit.
This tragedy may have been laid at the beginning, but the kindness of the colonel's family in the middle and the heroine's tossing made me think that there would be a reversal. Unfortunately, it did not, but it turned out to be worse.
Is the root cause in that house? Yes, but neither is it. I want to attribute it to the obsession in everyone's hearts. The colonel's love for his family, his longing for his son to go to a good school, and his daughter's pride in getting married, he obsessed with using his own way and strength to give his family the best life. He hopes that everyone will respect him. , Fear him, he desires a kind of decency, so even when he is a worker, he will cleanly take care of himself and then go home, so when he finally died, he took out a freshly cleaned Maybe you never wore the uniform, wear every medal. It is also this obsession that gives him absolute authority at home. Both his wife and children can only obey his orders and move or even die.
The obsession of the heroine is an escape and cowardice. She evaded the reality of her husband’s departure, deceived her family again and again, and did not dare to tell the truth. After her house was taken away, her only concern was that I would take my house back before my family came on the 18th. Because of her escape and cowardice, she chose to live under the aegis of Leicester, although she was deeply saddened by her husband’s abandonment, although she also doubted Leicester’s sincerity towards her; after losing her house and Leicester, she was finally willing She plucked up the courage to find help. She called her brother, hoping to get some comfort or help, but she was disappointed. Her last straw collapsed, so she chose to commit suicide; she shot herself for the first time. After the failure, she committed suicide for the second time with sleeping pills at the colonel's home, but was rescued. In the end, she finally stopped escaping, she chose to accept the facts, and she returned to the colonel's house, but it was too late.
A desperate film, a bleak film. We are always defeated by every detail in our lives, but true despair comes from not getting the comfort or thoughts we want. The hostess did not receive comfort or support from her family, and the colonel lost his son who he was willing to exchange for anything, so they were desperate.
This is not true for us in reality.
