Deeply locked in the sorrow of the first house: the cracks in the United States
"Deep Locked in the Spring" was released in 1955. At that time, the United States had just won the World War II dividend and became the real world hegemon, forming a huge middle class in China (at most, this group accounted for% of the total population of society. Eighty-five), the hippie movement has not yet occurred, the entire United States is in a state of abundance and stability. The middle class, as the most conservative part of the social structure, has formed a corresponding conservative traditional culture. In such a society, women’s duty is to take care of Every member of a good family is also responsible for being beautiful and beautiful. Kerry is a member of this huge group of "American Sweethearts".
Kerry is over 40 years old, beautiful, kind, intellectual, and charming. Her husband passed away, and she had one child and one daughter. The children grew up and were about to leave. She took care of this family with due diligence and lived a traditionally prescribed life, not daring to go beyond half a step.
Everything looks great.
Ron broke into her peaceful and stable life until she was a teenager.
Ron is the son of the late old gardener, Gundam is strong, handsome and handsome, but poor.
"Everything looks great," Kerry said politely to Ron.
"Not a lot," Ron said bluntly.
Ron walked into her life with a heterogeneity different from hers, which naturally attracted her interest. At first she was polite and accustomed to talking to him, but after a few sentences she was unconsciously attracted to him, and they talked about the tree.
He cut her a golden rain tree, and she put it in a vase.
Love is budding
"What is the Egyptian tradition?" Kerry asked her daughter.
"Seal the widow and other property alive in her husband's tomb. In theory, she is also property and should die with him. The tribe is responsible for this. Of course that doesn't happen anymore, does it?"
"Really? Maybe not in Egypt anymore."
In fact, she is also property and is being buried. The tribe is in charge of this matter.
He invited her to be a guest at his house. She first refused subconsciously, and then changed her mind.
She walked into his country from the city.
Vanity must be a bubble, and the bubble will inevitably be broken.
In his house, she is happily like a little girl. He treats him like a treasure.
"Why is everyone so like success? If a person does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears different tunes and allows him to follow the music he hears, no matter how rhythmic or how far away."
"I think in these days, all people are looking for safety. Like many people, if they have money and status, they will have safety. Then, he met Ron, he had nothing, and he didn't seem to need it. He was puzzled. The answer was simple. It took Mike a lot of time to figure it out."
"What's the answer?"
"Live your true self, that's Ron. Ron's safety comes from himself, no one can take it away. Ron will not make unimportant things important."
She envied him, loved him, and lived like him, but she didn't really understand him, and she couldn't be him.
He saw her concerns, "You are avoiding important things because you are afraid."
"What are you afraid of?"
"a lot of things".
She is afraid of her home, her children, and the eyes of the people around her.
The TV seller met her at the door.
"I'm not interested in TV," she said, her heart full of him.
He asked her to marry him, and she hesitated.
She broke the porcelain pot he carefully put together for her. She was very guilty, "You spent so much time repairing it."
"It's ok".
Ron will not make unimportant things important.
"Two people who love each other want to get married, it should be very simple."
"If you are not afraid".
If you are not afraid
She still couldn't take that step, and they separated.
The children still bought her a TV, "Drama, comedy, life unfolds in your fingers."
What a tempting advertisement, just like her previous life, gorgeous and exquisite, and at the same time, so boring.
If the movie stays here, it will be the ultimate tragedy.
But this is Hollywood, after all, it still cannot escape the happy ending.
In my heart, the movie stays here, just like the first time I saw that meaningful shot:
Kerry stared blankly at herself reflected in the TV screen.
Like a box, trapped Kerry.
This is the crack in the United States, class, tradition, and the party's divergence.
It is also a crack in the whole world.
Lu Xun has a classic rhetorical question, what about after Nora leaves? (Nara is the character in Ibsen’s "Doll’s House")
I am willing to believe that Kerry and Ron "love lovers eventually get married" like in the movie. But this probably won't happen.
All That Heaven Allows is the English title of the film, "All That Heaven Allows".
If the movie is a paradise of dreams, it's okay to let it happen.
What we fear is nothing but fear itself.
If you are not afraid.
