Look at the relationship between Larta and John, a completely unequal match: a mature woman and a big boy. As mentioned earlier, Larta and John are in contact. John's simplicity has a spiritual healing effect on Larta, but Larta is much more mature than John, and John's simplicity cannot carry her richness. We would rather take John’s surging personality and openly rebellious behavior of living with Larta as an overcorrection of the rigid family life of the nobles, although most of the time, fashion and sex are just his spiritual spice, so compared to As far as his young partners are concerned, he looks healthy and more energetic. But he still depends on the living conditions of the noble family, especially, he also wants to maintain the balance between the noble lifestyle and modern ideas. His accommodating to his mother is still my naughty habit, and he did not show responsibility for his lover, especially when Larta was trapped in isolation, he did not show the thoughtfulness he should have to protect her position in the family. He is like a young Adam who has been cared for and tolerated in the Garden of Eden, still wandering between love and self-satisfaction, but his first love does not understand love.
Although the living conditions of the nobles also made Larta envy, because it is difficult to say that she is beautiful and young without vanity. But the suffocating aristocratic lifestyle made her tired, which is why she repeatedly asked to leave. Although she was able to jump for love and caused an uproar in a morally conservative closed town, her new expectations for an independent life were shelved because of the inability to break through the personal relationship with John. The dog was crushed to death inadvertently. Sister John showed her ugliness at the performance and turned her anger to Larta. This is all paying for the jealousy of Larta's outstanding personality. These trivial things continue to accumulate the power of shadows and make people feel unrestrained and unrestrained. The dislocation of larta and the environment. And once the truth of her ex-husband's death was revealed, she immediately became the fuse of public criticism. John can't understand that Larta's euthanasia of her terminally ill ex-husband is a kind of spiritual relief for both parties. He can't understand that love is a commitment that does not bring pain to the other party, and freedom is an incomparable quality.
Seeing these two people walking together and separated, I inevitably think of an old song by Zuo Tian Yazhi:
"I go up the hillside, you go down the hillside, you are here to say goodbye to spring, riding on the magnolia blossoms are full of fragrance. ..."
Love meets in different seasons of life, so there is dislocation. Compared with Larta and John, she and John's father finally walked together, and they seemed much more coordinated and calm. Just like the finale of the prom, John did not go to the dance floor at the invitation of Larta, but it was John's father who greeted her. They all understand the importance of life.
