A passionate, brave and sincere soul, after abandoning the only world he knows in his life, if the goddess of wisdom who led him to enlighten his mind cannot help him find a new outlet, he can only choose death.
For this strange beautiful young man, the god of faith has been shaken, and the heroism of dying for God has become stupid. The faith of trusted parents is not firm, and hypocritically hand over the life and death of the only child to the judge. God is gone, parents cannot be trusted. My lady is the new and only light in his dark life. Her guidance on his music, her slightly hoarse singing, she brought poetry into his life. The high-ranking judge would waste time on a small person like him. This cute boy can't wait to follow her to a brave new world. Tell me what books to read, how to read poetry, and how to think about the world. I desperately need a new value, my hollowed soul needs new guidance.
But My lady is just an ordinary person. She holds the destiny of children in her hands all the year round, and she has been terrified of her own power. She used thirty-four pages of paper to argue that a child shouldn't exist, and expelled him from the world like that. Even though colleagues praised her for this sentence, part of her "becomes cold and dead with the child." In addition, the husband who asked for an open marriage also made her feel devastated. Never being a mother makes her motherhood nowhere to rest.
Facing such a lovely boy, the judge retreated. She neither dared to teach him, nor knew what to teach him. She was afraid of the influence she would have on him, and enjoyed the comfort that this boy brought to her spirit. So she smiled and read every letter from him without sending a reply.
When the boy followed her through the storm, she could only send him away cruelly. Did she take the initiative when leaving, or did he take the initiative to make the kiss? Containing the boy's admiration, disappointment, and grievance towards her? With the maternal love of the judge, or with a trace of comfort that her husband could not give her?
The boy's passionate and sincere soul can no longer be placed in this vulgar world. He is like the twenty-five ai in another novel by McEwan. The pure moral system completely collapsed in this complex, false and noisy world. "Our lives are full of such torture, but it does not prevent us from finding happiness, even love. The artificial mind is not so strong."
"He is just a lovely boy...He is just a lovely boy..." What did the justice do wrong? She has done what she can do. And one person's faith can never be given by another person.
The bill states, "The interests of children are paramount. Children's interests are often not necessarily those of parents. Therefore, we need to have independent laws that are higher than parents and higher than religion to protect children's interests."
Law and emotion, life and belief...unsolvable problems. It is also the charm of this novel and this movie.
