Look at her name, the Virgin, the busy bee, the tiny kitchen, that's what a woman is all about. She runs her own farm alone, and has daily interactions and friendships with some male farmers. She is faithful to her beliefs and takes her life seriously. In the poverty of the frontier, she still insists on yearning for music and beauty. , the vase with inconspicuous flowers on the dining table, and the piano keys embroidered with cloth are so heart-wrenching, such a beautiful spiritual world, no one understands, no one can appreciate. She is not good-looking, has a man-like facial line, her body is average, and the person who rejected her said she had a flat chest. She tried to use the property and descendants that ordinary people can understand to persuade men who have a chance to live with her. But both failed miserably. Mary, lives in a world built by male standards, where she is conscientious and blameless, and she is banished from marriage just because she is not beautiful, just because she is tough (which men find unruly). She is like an employee who worked overtime and died of overwork. She will never be recognized by her boss and will never be able to complete her redemption. So, she chose to redeem others, however, she underestimated the pressure of redemption. director and actor tommy lee Jones played George, an old gangster with war experience who was accidentally rescued by Mary. With a little sense of responsibility and gratitude to Mary, he accompanied her on the road to send her home. Mary has long realized that on the way to the countryside, she needs a man - this is a pun metaphor, she clearly knows that there are many situations that women cannot resist and solve, but none of the surrounding neighbors will escort these women as their own. Even if he is so distressed and sad that he chases the carriage and asks "Do you still love me?", he is not willing to see off his poor wife in person. Women can only save themselves. George, just a weak branch that Mary caught in her panic. Mary, this not-so-beautiful woman, radiated the last and most beautiful brilliance of her life in the first half of the journey to send her home. She comforts family members and children, she comforts mad women, the small glass of water she feeds the dolls almost makes me cry, she bathes a few dull and pale female bodies in the river, she smiles and washes clothes in the morning light , she "played the piano" and sang alone by the river during the break. In these few moments, she was so beautiful, just like her name, the Virgin Mary came true to the three mad women in the image of Mary. The lovable face seems to have become soft and kind, and it is unbelievably beautiful, pouring out in the woods and on the sand, even the old gangster can't help but be infected. She achieved their redemption, and the world of her belief was realized by herself, but when the effort reached its limit, the burning life also came to an end. Burying the remains of a strange girl was Mary's last act of compassion for the tragic fate of women, but it was proved to be futile by the wind, sand and beasts. After two days and two nights of being lost, no one ignited the flame of survival for her. At the last moment, Mary tried to find the courage to live from George at last, but her proposal failed, so she offered her virginity. However, how tragic, before George happily asked for it, he seemed to repeat the willingness and non-responsibility of both sides to Mary from top to bottom—without responsibility, there would be no love, no warmth, and no reason to stay. Mary's spiritual world, once so self-disciplined and powerful, finally went out like a burnt bonfire after the last firewood was exhausted. Tragedy is not simply to describe misery, to smash beautiful things for others to see, this is tragedy. Mary's death, until the tombstone that George bought for her with her money, was kicked into the river and disappeared without a sound. This is the silent cruelty of life. Crazy is a way to escape from this world, and Mary, who could not escape and was brutally squeezed the last bit of her spiritual strength, could only end her endless disappointment with death. Women, who exist as male dependencies, are hopeless to build their own value system in a male-dominated world! The death of the Virgin is a real tragedy.
After Mary's death, George tried to run away alone, but finally stayed behind to complete the mission of sending his hometown. On the way, he burned the hotel out of anger and took life-saving food. This is the only release in this depressing film. Do you understand? Women, only go crazy, die, or in the process of going crazy and dying, destruction and reconstruction can only be done by relying on men who have a conscience and have the ultimate respect for women. Women, almost never see the light of day. However, without women, men will not be better off. A man wants to farm the land and raise two underage daughters. A man has to find a way to find someone to give birth to a son for him. A man has lost his once young and beautiful lover forever. And George, the last man who can feel the beauty and greatness of women, can only vent with his tombstone, and can only face his old age, who is alone and penniless.
