The story begins with Hester's suicide. What was the reason for Hester's suicide? At first I thought it was the stigma of cheating and the pressure brought by the gap in life. As she recalled the quarrel with Freddie at the exhibition, she realized it was more than just the stigma and pressure. She wasn't happy with Freddie. She loves him very much, lovingly. Don't even know how to deal with Freddie's jokes. In fact, this situation can be seen at first when everyone in the bar sang You Belong To Me. Hester's expression was embarrassed, delighted, and overwhelmed in the face of the unknown. But there is no doubt that she is deeply in love with Freddie. As Freddie said in anger, (Hester) "marries the first man who asks her and falls in love with the first one to give her the eye" She married one and fell in love with the other. Two completely different, even opposite men. Bill is a typical old-school gentleman, restrained and reserved, and his life is as peaceful as a pool of calm water. She lives with her mother, speaks in a more euphemistic way, and even maintains the traditional behavior of husband and wife to separate beds. But to Hester—yes, Hester, the movie was written around 50 at the beginning, Hester belonged to the post WWII the lost generation, they were trendy, bohemian, for them—that life was a backwater, and she was repressed all the time. self. She had also resisted, she had expressed her incomprehension about the separation of the beds, but Bill's gentleness made her anger as powerless as a stone stabbed into cotton. Freddie is a man who has gone to war. He's got a passion, nothing like Bill's dead silence, his eyes seem to sparkle as he speaks. Hester loved him, in her own words enough to die for him. This is indeed the love in her eyes, passion, love, vigor, as Hemingway said at midnight in Paris, "I believe that true and pure love can produce a stage of relief of death, and all cowardice comes from no love or love. Not completely, both are the same. Brave and sincere people face death head-on because their love is passionate enough to drive death out of their heads." Hester seems to have the same idea, so Freddie is the man who can satisfy her need for love in her eyes. But don't forget, the background of the story is after the war, Freddie is a man who returned from the war. Whether it was World War I or World War II, the soldiers who returned from the war had the aftermath of the war, and they still had unbearable restlessness. The long war career made them uncomfortable with peaceful and ordinary life. (See Wreckers for this, which also shows how easy it is for soldiers in Jiaguitian to integrate into society and their families.) She once asked Freddie how long we've been together. ten months. How long have you been with me in ten months. three months. It can be said that Freddie is a man who can give her passion and love, but cannot give her a stable life. It is this kind of love that can't get what you want, get what you get, and can't give up, and finally let her collapse. But doesn't Freddie love her? No. He loves him so much that he can't help himself when he knows she's trying to kill herself. However, the way Freddie loves her is, as Freddie said, Jack and Jil, Jack loves Jil, Jil loves Jack. But Jack loves Jil in a different way. It was unacceptable to Hester. What about Bill? Bill also loves Hester, in his own way. His love itself, like himself, is restrained. He would suppress himself in order to give Hester face in front of outsiders. He would say when he drove to Hester, sit in the car, it's cold outside. He took care of her meticulously, but he lacked passion. And he couldn't understand Hester and Freddie's love, he attributed it to lust. The two loved Hester equally, in different ways. One stands for passion, the other stands for plain life. Hester ultimately chose passion. Bill's mother once said "be ware of passion, Hester, it always leads to something ugly.
