1. Changes in character image
Bob, who just came to prison, initially showed the image of a rebellious and very annoying young man. Things are always a righteous attitude. It is also an attitude of indifference to the friendliness of others, and even unreasonable treatment of inmates who have no malicious intentions, just because I came across the photo of his mother. Seriously, in real life, I would not even look at such a person. Too lazy to look at him. Always go his own way, without considering the feelings of others. But slowly you will find that his original intention in doing anything is not to hurt others, but to express his inner feelings honestly. He was on the train, smashing the glass just to protect his right to breathe; he treated his inmates just so he didn't want to offend his mother; he killed the guard just for self-defense, he said the guard hit him on the head with a stick first , and he doesn't think his actions are wrong with the prison guard, he just feels that he has hurt the prison guard's wife; he also asks another prison guard to provide him with various tools but never says thank you. These various signs show that Bob is just a young man who doesn't know how to take care of other people's feelings and has a very upright personality. Do you think there is something wrong with his personality? On the contrary, it may be too real, and the real ignores the social rules, so it is obviously not conducive to surviving in this rule-based society.
So why did he become like this? I think his mother has a very big responsibility. His mother is an image of an overprotective, doting mother. The son killed someone, not only did not show blame, but also pleaded guilty to the president for his son, including innocently saying that his son was a valuable person, and the court sentenced it unreasonably. Of course, his son is indeed a valuable person, And it's huge, but it's also after that. Of course, a mother loves her son, and a son enjoys his mother's love. Let him, educate him, instead of just vindicating his grievances, out of the protection of flesh and bones, this will only harm him, whether it is love or harm, needs every parent to reflect carefully.
Still, it's good to know that things are always going in the right direction. Under the guidance of the prison guards to protect personal dignity, he realized his mistake for the first time, which was an important turning point in his transformation process. This prison guard can be said to be a very important role in his growth. In fact, just like what the prison guard said, although I am wearing this prison guard uniform, I am just an ordinary prison guard who follows every step of the way, but I am also a person, a person who needs respect from others. So, since we are social beings, we have a need to be respected by others. From that moment on, Bob learned to respect people, learned to be polite, and learned to take care of other people's feelings. This is not to become sophisticated and tactful, but to integrate into society.
Deformed maternal love: Back to his mother, his mother regarded her son as everything. When I saw another woman appeared in my son's life, I felt jealousy and threat from his mother, she was afraid His son will be snatched away by this woman, and his only position in this man will be snatched away. But for the social and ethical relationship, we all know that a man always wants to start a family and find his other half. This abnormal maternal love hinders Bob's normal social ethics and morality. From burning his mother's photos, we see that Bob Bo endured the pain and was determined to break free of his mother's deformed love, heavy shackles, and return to normal society. He didn't really want to make a clean break with his mother, but after he had his own rational thinking, he said no to emotional traditional thinking. This is also an important point in his transformation process.
And coming into contact with a normal wife's love is also an important lesson in his life. Love is mutual, love is understanding, love is possession, and love is not just paying. In the end, Bob became more and more a charming man. He was polite, cultivated, loving, calm, and wise. Although he was in prison, he had extraordinary achievements that ordinary people could never achieve in a lifetime. He was admired by the prison guards. , making the wardens jealous. We can say that Bob became a successful person, a person with happy love.
2. Personal Value
A rescue from a storm opened the door to the value of his life. While he was saving it, he was also gradually being reborn. This movie based on a true event actually has a lot to learn from it. How a person achieves success in the true sense, how a person reflects the value of his life. That is in a state of meditation that is isolated from the noise of the outside world, free from temptation and desire for fame and fortune. Here, the prison is more like a symbol of no desire and no competition. In a prison isolated from other prisoners, that kind of inner peace is even scary, but it has been able to create extraordinary achievements.
If you say whether he will achieve this kind of achievement in the outside world, I think it is almost impossible. A real "home" is in the competition of fame and fortune, and he is determined by his state of meditation and solitude. Success depends on the enthusiasm of a childish heart, and the original intention determines your achievement. Of course, many people get lost in the process. Therefore, the real "home" is indeed a rare species, most of which are "brick homes" and "called beasts".
So his success can be said to be occasional, or it can be said to be an inevitable, an inevitable state, an inevitable environment, and an inevitable encounter.
2. Prison
This is a story based on the background of prison that reflects personal values, ridicules the prison management system, and mechanizes personality and value. What is Rehabilitation? In the quarrel between Bob and the warden who thinks his values are correct, we learned that what is reform is to let everyone who has made a mistake regain their self, personality, value, and reform. Instead of living like a year in such a mechanized prison management system, losing the motivation to live, to resist, to escape.
If the prison can treat prisoners like Bob, they can find points of interest and value. Everyone will reform, and there is no need to rely on managers to do discipline and machine management. A person who makes a big mistake, even if he is imprisoned for life, should find some personal value, otherwise why don't you just shoot him, keep him in pain, loneliness, and inner torture, waste the country's food and property to support a group of machines.
Also, regarding the time limit for sentencing, I think it is very rigid. A person is imprisoned for life, is it really going to be locked to death? Why did he really reform himself and not let him come out to benefit the society, is it just because of the express provisions? Rules are made by people.
Of course, there are many such satires, and the society should listen to these more in order to improve the system. Whether it is the prison system, social system, etc., it needs continuous improvement. Of course, if you say that there is injustice, it can be realized and guaranteed immediately. That is also true Naive, I can only say take it slow.
All in all, this movie is a movie worth watching and thinking about, and it contains a life that a man may experience. Although the film is black and white, the content is indeed very rich. The male protagonist seems lonely, but his heart is more and more fulfilled.
