About death. Queen Elizabeth bestowed upon him a lifetime of opulence because of her fondness for Orlando's beauty. But at this time Orlando could not really appreciate Queen Elizabeth's emotions. It was not until the death of the Queen and his father that he felt the grief of losing a loved one. Because of death, we will know how to cherish.
about love. Orlando's fiancee once said to him, "A man knows betrayal." Later, Orlando also said because of Sasha's abandonment: "A woman knows betrayal." And Orlando's love for Sasha is very obvious, but his fiancee He didn't understand his emotions, and Sasha couldn't understand because he was aware of Orlando's sad feelings, and finally chose to leave him. The two women who left him were because they couldn't understand Orlando's feelings. Maybe love is the acquaintance of two people.
about poetry. Orlando found solace in poetry. But he gave up because of the ridicule of the poor poet. Art itself is an upgrade of personal feelings. The poor poet himself has lost his pursuit of art due to the compulsion of life, and he has only constant complaints and envy. He felt that a nobleman like Orlando could not write good poetry. His jealousy forgets that poetry itself is only an expression of emotion, not how gorgeous it is, and that art itself is a search for resonance.
about politics. Orlando life has so many good qualities. He likes to make friends with people. Even if the allies themselves were less friendly, he accepted it very generously. This is very valuable. But he found that behind the politics is the struggle for interests, and only the people and soldiers sacrificed for this. He suffered from being unable to rescue the people, and finally gave up his pursuit of politics.
About socializing. After being stimulated for days, Orlando woke up and found herself transformed into a woman. Gender doesn't have much of an impact on Orlando, which is perplexed by the world itself. He began to understand what it was like to be a woman. In the social circle, he deeply felt that women's status in this society was not respected, even his own husband. And the hypocritical duke likes Orlando's beauty even more, and then he doesn't respect women himself. How could Orlando believe in his love for him? After he rejected the duke, he was insulted by the duke. He was angry, but he didn't know what his future life would be like. He ran in the grass, he ran out of the classicism period, and met Amanxiu, who yearned for a free America.
about sex. Amanxiu made Orlando experience the friendship and joy between men and women. Orlando was also delighted that he was beginning to gain affection. But in the end, Amanxiu, who yearned for freedom, refused to stay and experience the joys of marriage and family with Orlando. Choose to be adventurous while traveling. And Orlando is not holding back, because he has learned courage and freedom from Amanxiu. He knows that his love cannot bind those he loves. He chose to let go. At this time, he has obtained mature love. Perhaps in the writer or director's idea, "sex" itself is a mature love. At this time, Orlando's love no longer bound Sasha like it did in the past, hoping to be with him every day. Mature love may be learning from the other person the courage and faith to continue living in the future. A rain that brought Orlando to a time of war. Orlando had already had a child at this time.
About rebirth. Orlando, who was pregnant with a child, managed to survive, writing his story and selling it to a publishing house. Take your own children and go back to the place where you grew up hundreds of years ago. At this time, he has found his future, and of course he has the courage to face his past. Perhaps even his children can see his own sadness, which also shows that in fact, he has not changed in the past four hundred years, but has grown up through all experiences. He saw the angel, and so did his daughter. Perhaps the angel is a symbol of happiness and joy in his life. And he has learned to experience and feel this happiness.
