A woman's love years

Posting an article I wrote a long time ago.

Watching the Burning Years again, I still don't like Brad Pitt. There is no way to like it.
Even if he is sexy and uninhibited, even if he is handsome and capable, and extraordinary in martial arts, he still cannot win my heart.
Because he let a woman who loves him deeply live in pain and suffering all her life.
There are many fans of burning dramas around, most of them are women, they often talk about Anthony Hopkins's acting skills, Xiaobu's long blond hair fluttering over the pristine pasture, beautiful scenery, father-son love, brotherhood, between men. friendship between whites and Indians.
But I only saw how the woman named Susanna could not bear it in love, how she carried the love of her life, how she took on the love that was torn apart by her lover, always hovering on the edge of despair, and finally chose to cruelly end her own life.

There is a sentence on the disc to introduce the plot: a woman, causing a complete family to almost break up.
I once scoffed at this, the propaganda tone of the domestic ninth-rate TV series.
After thinking about it, I was shocked: Why not?
Before Susannah appeared, although the three brothers were far from their mother's care, they depended on their father for life, and they had all grown into attractive men. But at the train station, when the strange Susanna came to this grassland, everything was different.
At that time, Yiren was already Sam's fiancee, but Ivor fell in love with her at first sight, while Tristan was long overdue.
I've always been a little numb to the advent of love, so I've been trying to figure out when Suzanne fell in love with Tristan. Was it Tristan's hug to comfort Susannah, who was heartbroken by Sam's impending battle? Or is it because a man like Tristan exudes charm all the time, and she fell in love with him at the first sight, and every glance after that?
This beautiful and energetic woman brought wisps of tenderness to this masculine ranch, her smile, her long hair, her dress, her versatility, her liveliness, and she attracted three young men eyes. If it wasn't for the war, she'd marry Sam and have a bunch of kids who could either die on this ranch if she wanted, or go back to town and live a refined life she liked.
However, the war made her lose Sam, made Tristan unable to face her peacefully in the future, made Ivor a lame councilor, and the distance between them grew further and further.
When he returned from a long trip for the first time, her eyes lit up for this, however, this failed to become a reason for him to stop. He reunited and separated from her, and Tristan took the initiative to exile in order to appease the bear in his heart and to appease his guilt towards his younger brother.
Even when he was young, Tristan was fearless in the face of a ferocious bear, and he was not a man who could face his heart. He left Susanna alone in his boundless thoughts and constant expectations. Then, one day, he pushed her into Ivor's arms with his own hands.
Years later, she still loves him. Even after she became Ivor's wife.
Love his vicissitudes of life face, love the love he once gave her.
He came back, but it was different. She married and he married another. She has to face the old wounds that may have scabbed over again.
Whenever I saw Susannah and Ivor meet Tristan and the little Isabelle family at the market, the pained expression on Susannah's face and the forced smile on her face made me feel inexplicably heartbroken, she was forcing herself to face love. In desperation,
Tristan can sail, hunt, ride horses, and travel the world to realize his hunter dream, but Susannah can only face the flowery face in the mirror, cut strands of long hair again and again, and then, a bullet, let She can never be broken for love again, no longer torment her soul.
Ivor, or everyone else, thought he was the only one who could make Susannah happy, because Tristan couldn't give her a garden and a mansion, and I knew that little Isabel would be better for Tristan's wife.
But love is not necessarily happiness, but happiness must have love.
The most painful thing in the world is not that heaven and man are separated forever, but that the lover is close at hand, but you are unable to love him. Only silently weeping, secretly sad.

Legends of the Fall quotes

  • Colonel Ludlow: Indians! Indians were the issue in those days. I can assure you, gentlemen, there is nothing quite so grotesque as the meeting of a child with a bullet; or an entire village slaughtered while sleeping. That was the Government's resolution of that particular issue and I have seen nothing in its behavior since then that would persuade me that it has gained either in wisdom, common sense, or humanity.

  • [Regarding Tristan's departure]

    Susannah: Will he come back?

    Colonel Ludlow: I don't know.

    Colonel Ludlow: [One Stab speaks Cree] Stab says yes.
