Bird of Thorns: When you're winning a man's love, there's an opponent called God

There are always some books and movies that will make you wonder why you didn't meet them earlier, why you didn't read or see them earlier. This is one of them. A long time ago, I heard that "Thorn Birds" is very beautiful, but the library has never borrowed it. Later, it was an electronic file downloaded from the Internet. It took a whole day to read it. Can't stop watching it. After watching the electronic file, I felt that it was not enjoyable, so I spent another day watching the mini-series.
The life of this family is actually quite legendary. At first, they were so poor in New Zealand that they had to go here to find work every day, and sometimes they couldn’t even find it. Later, because of a wealthy sister in Australia, they had a fixed Work ended up in a nice big house and even started to have servants and even a private jet for the next generation. Thankfully, Mary Carson was a huge part of the Patty family, the God of their family.
The power of pictures VS the power of words: When reading novels, many descriptions about the environment are simply skipped, because if you read them, you can’t imagine them, and even if you imagine them, they’re all wrong. A description of how to dress. There may be hundreds of words in the book, but it is not as intuitive and impressive as a few seconds of pictures, such as flocks such as grasslands and such as dust. The book said that the dust was very large, but when the picture came out, the car drove by and brought a lot of dust, so we really knew that it was a world where dust was flying all the time. There is also the work of shearing wool. The description in the book is not clear in my mind, but I know it when it is shown in the movie.
And the beauty of words lies in the description of psychological activities. Yes, no matter who is thinking about what, it cannot be reflected in the movie, only a happy or unhappy expression, as to why you are happy and why you are not happy. How unhappy I can hardly understand if you just give me an expression.
The most shocking thing is the belief of Ralph and Dane in God. Before, they only knew many devout believers, but today they know what the so-called piety means.
Ralph: I love you, but i love the god more, and I can not give it up for you. this is the necessary sacrifice i have to suffer. And then lost maggie.
And maggie spent her life with the man called god Fighting for another man, this man gave half of his love to Maggie and half of his love to God, his love for God is pure, and his love for Maggie is also pure, so between Maggie and God, I don't know who is the best It's a junior, but human beings can never defeat God. Even if they finally win in the end, the man who fought back is also dead.
If Ralph was forced to be a priest in the first place, Dain made his own decision from the start. What a promising future he can have, with a good family background and good looks, he is now a rich and handsome man, but this 100-point rich and handsome dream is to become a real ascetic, and he did not hesitate to hurt his mother Maggie for this. heart of. So faith is a terrible power. Fortunately, this belief is positive.
