Choose a kind of life, at the cost of losing a kind of happiness

To be honest, it was a photo of Robert Redford that attracted me. White cowboy hats, neat shirts, jeans, and slightly squinted eyes make people can't help but laugh. It's not the exquisite handsomeness, but the comfortable and warm vicissitudes of sexy.
The nearly three-hour movie, although I heard that I hadn't watched it, I finally couldn't help but turn it out. In the early morning, I saw Annie driving away alone, and a person on the high hill behind watched him silently, hopeless, and turned his horse back, his back was bleak and lonely. After the "END" on the subtitle came out, I was still imagining that the car would suddenly stop and turn around and the driver returned to Tom's arms. Feeling depressed for a while, feeling lost, falling asleep with regret.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
Robert arrived unexpectedly and awakened a group of people on the ranch. Life like a paradise is actually off the track, no matter how sweet dreams are, there is the moment of waking up, but sooner or later.
There
are people who are calm after being cured: Grace can return to normal life with a stronger and peaceful mind, and embrace tomorrow, Pilgrim seems to have recovered her peace.
There are people who make waves in their hearts: Robert, who has not many roles, is suddenly eye-catching. He just feels that he is not careful and considerate enough for his handling of the problem is admirable. It is useless to stay, spread the words out and let the other party make the decision, but it is more clever and more subtle. At the prom, I was talking and laughing with people and I had an expression of indifferent trust in my wife. It turned out that I didn't know it or didn't mind, I just didn't know what to do.
At that dance party, not only the bodies of the two suddenly met, but also two hearts were closely attached to each other. I believe that the remaining warmth after many years will be enough to warm people's hearts.
Annie's decision will change the lives of the people around him. On one side is love, warmth, plainness, and peace, and on the other side is the integrity of the family, husband, children, and career. Meeting the right person at the wrong time can only make people entangled, and then choose one kind of life, at the cost of losing another kind of happiness.
Tom, the life that had already calmed down was disrupted again, he could only silently miss him, and slowly accept another blow from hope to disappointment.

The person who touched me the most in the film is Tom. After finishing college in a bustling city, he can still be a cowboy in a remote and desolate grassland. Fortunately, he has enough patience and talent to live in the vast and beautiful blue sky and green grass. He is engaged in the profession he loves. He is not happy enough. He has fallen in love with two people one after another, and both of them love him but not. People who love that kind of life like him, they all leave him.
Meeting, it seems that nothing has changed. Some people have come and gone. It is a passer-by in life. When meeting, it seems to have changed something. It is an episode in life that enriches the memory.

A label is "ethics", and I suddenly thought of the meaning of the ending. As a classic American film that advertises family supremacy, the story must end with family reunion. Even if the coincidence and clichés of Hollywood comedy are mixed in the process, there will be no deviant ending in the end. If that were the case, the protagonists would become the sinners of the ages who broke up the "happy family". The film viewing record has evolved into a criticism, and it really doesn't like the hypocrisy and prejudice of the United States in terms of values.
But thinking of this, the regret is slightly lessened~~

The Horse Whisperer quotes

  • Tom Booker: Is she going to be long?

    Grace: Probably, she's on the phone 23 hours a day.

    Tom Booker: What does she do?

    Grace: She's an editor.

    Tom Booker: An editor? Ah.

    Grace: Just in case she hasn't told you, which she probably hasn't, I don't want to be a part of this. Okay?

  • Annie: I've never been on a cow farm before. It seems to me that the bulls have the best time. Just laying around the fields waiting for someone to come along and ask them to do their work.

    Tom Booker: You get born a bull you have a 90% chance of being castrated. Served up as hamburger. So on balance, I reckon I'd choose bein' a cow.
