I watched "Thorn Birds", watched part of it, and wrote while watching: P
That was a movie from a long time ago, the story took place on a ranch in Australia, and it told the story of a generation of Irish immigrants. In this film, I see the way people lived a long time ago, the way family members get along, the authoritarian father, the mother who only loves father and son, the tame eldest son, the wild second son, the cowardly young A son, a neglected little daughter, and an ill-intentioned aunt and godfather who covets his lovely little daughter.
In this film, the wild second son Frank is about my age, 22 (I just found out that I am long past the age to envy grown-up children, when I was a 7 or 8 year old kid , I look at the lives of young people in their 20s with envy, but now, I no longer envy them, but I can understand their feelings, and I no longer look at the same things when I was 7 or 8 years old. 7, 8, or 10-something-year-old kid, always thinking "If I had that kind of environment, I might have done better than him"), hehe, continuing above, the kid said, "I hate being Dad is controlled, maybe I will live in that shadow all my life." The pastor said: "You have grown up, if you are controlled, it must be something else, or someone else." It's not exciting enough, but the story takes place in a very distant background. At that time, apart from the pastor, there were few such opportunities for one person to be so trustworthy to ask another person these questions. Obviously, there is no relevant theory, and most of them rely on the pastor's own feelings and experiences to answer the confusion of young people. The pastor's age, experience, etc. will affect the answers he gives to young people.
When I saw Frank at an event, finally chose to challenge the ring and beat the other boxers, I groaned inwardly. In the boxing ring, Frank challenged not others, but his dissatisfaction and resentment towards his father, and the sadness that he could not make his mother feel happy. This is a child who has not grown up and has a deep Oedipus complex. When Frank got into an argument with his father because his father made his mother pregnant again, and at the same time did not help his mother with the housework, his mother asked him to find a girlfriend. This is a child with a serious Oedipus complex, and I even guess that he will take any woman's love for him, and his love for other women, as a kind of betrayal to his mother and unable to truly live. At the same time, this child is on the road of finding independence - he was imprisoned and sentenced to life in prison because of a disturbance in the bar. When the younger sister Meg came to visit her younger brother in prison, Frank was still thinking of his mother. After so many years of experience, he is still an unweaned child psychologically. He said that he felt that his life was a failure because he could not make his mother happy from birth. Meg pointedly pointed out that everyone is responsible for their own lives, and if she is unhappy, it is her own choice, not because of him.
Besides, Meg, she has been a child neglected by her parents since she was a child. Therefore, her life is very hard compared to other brothers. It is normal for her to be more sensitive and insightful than his brothers. . At the same time, it's not difficult to understand why she fell in love with the pastor - he is so mature, like a father and like a mother, he educates her, understands her, cares for her, even the private once a month girl grows up Knowledge was also taught to her by him. He meant more to Meg than just a priest, a friend, an elder. At the same time, Meg is not just a girl to Pastor Raffel, but a longing and a longing for love in his heart.
We all know that for medieval missionaries, marriage, love, was absolutely forbidden. And a normal person, be it a man or a woman, needs a spiritual home, a sense of being needed and connected. For God's love, it is illusory, limited to imagination, without a sense of reality, love. Although I don't believe in any religion, everyone who has had hope can generally feel the power of belief. What could make a pastor feel safe than falling in love with a little girl in this special industry where love and family are not possible? It's just that this little girl has grown up unknowingly, and the pastor has to choose his own path—right, or family?
Rights can also bring a sense of security.
She's the understanding, Mary, the old woman who's been through it all, she's the one who knows it all. She's been through ambition, how she knows how he feels, it's just that she's too smart to make an ambitious man fall in love with her, she knows he's been an ambitious man from the beginning to the end On the first day in Australia, she understood that she had been torturing him, but it was all so painful. She knows what he wants to pursue. She is the same type of person as him, someone who only cares about her own interests. She tries to use her interests to attract his attention, and she tries to exchange a deal for his love, but she Forget, love is not her business, without any benefit, without purpose, irrational. When she used her usual means of exchange of interests to exchange his love, she had already failed, but what she said to him after her birthday party touched me deeply, if she ever touched the screen The former me, she will also impress Pastor Ralph: In my aging body, I still have a young heart, I still have dreams, pursuits, and I still have love...
Mary must eventually leave with regrets worldly. She saw herself in him, but she loved him, and was willing and able to meet his expectations, his ambition - to become a cardinal. Mary, who is so smart, doesn't know how to love Ralph. He is such an ambitious man, should she satisfy him so that he can love himself, or some other way? He seemed to have nothing but God and ambition, but Mary loved him so much.
Love is an incomprehensible emotion
Just like when old Paz died, Fei realized his feelings for him. Fei has been so tormented by her own experiences that after she gave birth to her daughter, she ignored her as much as she had neglected herself. She ignores that part of being a girl, she ignores her experience as a woman, to choose love. She has been ignoring herself so much that she has forgotten the fact that she has a husband who loves her so much, the fact that a Perth has been working hard, and the fact that she also deeply loves her husband. She banished herself, the sense of love.
When Fei chose to escape from facing reality and instead escaped into fantasy, and instead devoted his energy to heavy household chores and escaping into cumbersome accounts. It's no wonder that his daughter has such a complicated emotional dispute. . .
Living in the moment
is the best reminder for anyone.
