Some people have watched the movie and concluded that stalking and loss of self-esteem are the two biggest taboos in love. In fact, judging from Adele's constant self-deception and self-fantasy, we can also say that she is a person with too much self-esteem, too strong to let go. And when we usually use the word "self-esteem", isn't that what it means often? If someone looked down on him, he vowed to do something because of his self-esteem. If it is successful, "self-esteem" will also rise to the sky, so it is natural that "self-esteem" has become the subordinate of successful learning. Even when we talk about the self-esteem of love, isn't it more or less out of the idea of "I can live without you, or even better"? Is it "self-esteem" to tie one's life intentions to another person's attitude or view? If losing self-esteem is not much different from having too much self-esteem, what is the meaning of the word "self-esteem"?
Before people enter the world, when they are educated about a good (great) life, their yearning for it is stereotyped as the initial self-esteem (often the most intense). The death of her sister and the death of her brother-in-law had a huge impact on Adele. At this time, love was synonymous with one-on-one. Therefore, she only recognized the first man who pursued her in her life. One person's seriousness is often a joke in another person's eyes. If the former has strong self-esteem, then misfortune and madness are very likely to become his destiny. Adele Hugo is.
Adele ends up going crazy. Not only the captain's rejections again and again, but also the love-hate feelings for his father. Adele thought it was her father's despising the captain (that's what the captain said) that was the obstacle to their love, but after getting her father's consent, the fact that the captain is still indifferent, as well as the multiple remittances from her father (and her mother's illness) heavy news), making Adele so ashamed, so ashamed that she can't face it, unable to face it and back to self-deception. As with love, self-esteem directs it all. Self-deception has become Adele's abode all her life, and even when she's mad and no longer recognizes the captain, she still calls herself "Mrs. Captain" instead of "Miss Adele."
The film shows the horror and misfortune of self-esteem, but not only that, and the film does not express self-esteem in the so-called critical sense. The comparison between Hugo's death and Adele's death at the end reveals the director's deeper thinking .
When Hugo died, two million people of Paris sent his coffin to the Pantheon all the way to the Pantheon, but when Adele died, no one cared. Let's talk about Hugo's thought first. We know Hugo as the great writer who was full of humanitarianism, supported the revolution but was persecuted by the government, and loved the people, especially the poor. The words are right, the wrong thing is the roughness of our understanding. Different from many writers in the Enlightenment, (later) Hugo's humanitarianism was closer to the spirit of Christ, without blind optimism and rational arrogance. "I saw a black light" is Hugo's last words. How much hope and despair does it carry? Different opinions, but it is by no means optimistic or "love and sympathy for the vast majority of working people". The working people admire Hugo because they can take things out of context from Hugo's works that push them to the altar, and Hugo has gained a corresponding reputation for this.
Hugo is great, but his reputation is still largely based on misunderstandings about him. Hugo and Adele, one was written for the soul of mankind, the other was written for his love; one was in the language of the people, the other was in his own language; one was immortal, and the other was no one cares. different way. But as a questioner of life and meaning, he is equally lonely and hopeless, and also once beautiful and passionate. Hugo got the fame, but that was just a joke of history, and her daughter, who had seen it through long ago, went mad the other way.
If Adele can shout "My dad is Hugo!" in the United States on the other side of the ocean, and often say something like "Mom and Dad, I love you", then she will be happy. This is how smart people gain self-esteem!
