After reading Melrose, my heart is very bitter. Everyone's saying to Patrick, what you're doing is wrong. How kind your parents are and how many people they have helped, you should praise their greatness together. But is this true? As the saying goes, how can you sweep the world without sweeping one house. A father who is addicted to sexual abuse and a mother who turns a blind eye, can't even educate their own children, how can they be called great? Liu Bei also said, "Don't do evil for small things, and don't do good things for small things." Patrick's mother is so ironic that she can't save her own children, but invests funds in some "spiritual association" to save more people. She even said madly: "When you have too much, you should give something to others." But, are you really saving anyone? Can you also be consecrated to the Virgin? Do you really think you are the savior saving others? No.
Patrick's mother is really in love, and her vision for choosing people is really bad. Easily fooled by David's hypocrisy. David let her lie down on the ground and pick up and eat the figs, willingly, and licked his face and gave him a mansion as a gift. It's like this again when I get old. The "partner" I'm looking for is the person in charge of that fancy and unreliable "spiritual association". I'm afraid it's a playboy who can sing to make girls happy. He only covets Mary's money and has no sincerity. In the end, Mary's funeral did not come. Secondly, she clearly knew that her son was raped by his father, why didn't she choose to stop it? She kept saying that she used her best efforts to love her son and create a loving environment, but the truth? In the middle of the night, I called my son up, said goodbye briefly, and then left along the night. What was left was the "solitude" of the son and father for several years. Father can vent his anger anytime, whenever he is dissatisfied. Is this fair to my son? In fact, I think she has a chance to change. Her good best friend, the Jew, openly opposed David's approach, and advised Mary to take care of her son in every possible way. What was vulnerable was that Mary was afraid of David's majesty, and was unwilling to resist in the end. Is she really the most innocent and innocent child in the mouths of others? Does she consider herself a victim too? She would only say a faint "Me too." After her son made up his mind to tell his pain, she felt that she was raped by David, but she just wouldn't resist. Is she a child too? So ironic.
Luckily Patrick has met great friends and partners. It was Jonny's company that made him happy. He takes Patrick through his healing, accompanies him to difficult parties...a phone call is always on call. Julia's consideration allows her to be sexually satisfied. There is one scene that I still remember vividly. At the end of the film, the waiter asked Julia to pinch the cigarette. After staring for a long time, Julia took another puff, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and walked away in disdain. This may be a revelation from Patrick, sometimes, you don't have to fully agree with other people's opinions, you have to have your own opinions. Even if life is a mess of leaking shit, you have to fight back in your own way. Of course, it's not wise to throw this shit on someone else, especially someone who loves you and cares about you. Your negative emotions will affect them. I think it's good that the relationship between the two is actually good friends, even if the two of them are married, but it turns out that Julia is the one who replaces Cousin and faces all the bad things with him. Sometimes, let her be beautiful alone with red roses, don't always let her become the mosquito blood on the wall. Without thinking, I am afraid that another spiritual pillar is about to collapse again.
But from his wife Cousin's point of view, is that fair to her? Is she also a victim? Who does she need to save her? Like her husband, Mary was neglected by her mother as a child. When she received the news of her father's death on the phone, she only replied with a plain "cheer up" from her mother. The mother who sticks to the traditional concept brings her only bad habits and indifferent money. But the kind-hearted she is still trying to infect everyone around her. At the first meeting at the dinner party, I met the lost Patrick. I thought I could influence him, but I didn't expect it to be used as one of Patrick's tools to redeem himself, putting his whole life into it and raising their children. Husband's bad habits are hard to change, and he sleeps with his good brother's girlfriend Julia. In my opinion, Cousin is more of a partner, less affectionate and more affectionate between her and Patrick. However, as a modern woman, should Cousin be treated as a tool person, should he be treated like this? Who cares and understands her?
It is true that Julia seems to understand him better, but as Julia said, they met and knew each other at inappropriate times. When I have someone, even if I meet someone better, it's hard to let go of what I have and choose to elope with that person. Isn't this the same as painting skin? What I understand is that Wang Sheng really likes Xiao Wei, but because of Peirong he rejects her. Sometimes, the happiness of two people is based on the pain of many people, including their own parents and children. I believe this is the situation of many middle-aged couples. Obviously, this person has lived with this person now, but there are still parents and children to support. How can they have the ability to let go of them and choose their own distance? Once I leave this house, the mouths of the neighbors and villagers are very stinky, and the noisy discussions are unbearable. Even if you don't care about other people's eyes, don't children need a complete home? Without a father or mother, the child's psychology will be severely damaged, as shown by Melrose: David's father forced his son to study medicine, but the son did not want to, and was forced to cut off his financial resources; David has a mental illness and is a paranoid , taking the rape of his son and the neighbors' children as spiritual comfort; without the protection of his mother, poor Patrick grew up with drugs, alcohol, and promiscuity, leaving a bad impression on his son. Generation after generation, over and over again, endlessly. It can only be said that people's emotional life varies from person to person, and they know whether they are warm or cold. As a spectator, I can only understand the possibility of these examples, and then take a step by step and take care of my life.
The foreshadowing at the end of the article is very interesting. This time, Patrick firmly rejected his father's order and told him: "You're wrong. Nobody should do that to anybody else." It's a pity that this kind of courage is also in the last Patrick's sad life. Original sin was only possessed after the death of Father Nicholas. If he could say No to his father at that time, wouldn't the assault and rape of these years be eliminated? But what have these efforts paid for? A life without a source of income is a bitter experience. Does he choose to return to the shadow of his father's aggression and at least guarantee a normal life, or does he pursue his freedom? I can't give a definite answer.
In short, the five-episode story brought me endless thoughts. good movie!
