The biggest bug in this movie is that the male protagonist pretends to be the dead husband of the female protagonist. After returning to his hometown, everyone who met for the first time did not notice anything unusual. So the setting must be that the male protagonist and the female protagonist's husband have the same appearance. How miraculous and impossible this is in reality. But when I was watching it, I suddenly thought of the billboard. There are also unrealistic aspects of this movie. They vented too much. For example, innocent people were thrown downstairs and the police station was set on fire. After doing these things, the protagonists did not have to go to jail and not take responsibility? Although the director wants to express the changes of the protagonists in the later stage through the previous conflict, it may be to talk about love and tolerance, or to show that anger makes a person or a victim do more irrational things, but no matter what, the performance is still very good. "Too much", so sometimes these plots are just service tools, don't be too entangled.
Except for this bug, everything else is gone. Although the male protagonist has already figured out the hometown, neighbors, friends and wife that he is familiar with during the long-term relationship with the female protagonist's husband, he also integrates into this environment and leads the villagers to grow tobacco to become rich, and The heroine's feelings are also improving day by day. At this time, the murder case committed by the heroine's husband surfaced. Since the hero's current identity is the heroine's husband, he must bear the original owner's sin and punishment. This is life. When you are ready to say goodbye to the past and become complacent, it will give you a heavy blow, and this is not just a simple farewell to the past, but can a person who occupies someone else's position/identity go on safely and smoothly all the time? In any case, there is immorality and injustice hidden here.
The male protagonist was taken to trial, and many villagers followed him to bring him spiritual support. During this period, the female protagonist had gone from doubting to confirming the true identity of the male protagonist. They were determined to exonerate the male protagonist and found a person who knew the male protagonist's identity. The person clearly pointed out that the male protagonist's name was Horace Townsend, not Jack. Still a liar. Impeccable witnesses and testimony, at the moment when the court is about to close the case, the male protagonist recognizes that this impeccable witness is one of the perpetrators who went to his house to set fire, and the reason for the arson is that the male protagonist sold the land to black people, The witness with extreme hatred of black people went to warn the male protagonist, "So wise judge, the real purpose of this witness coming to court today is to stop the transaction, because when I am not jack, these agreements have no legal effect." The witness became angry and even He was rude and insulting to the black judge, and soon he was sentenced to be taken away by the judge, and the only favorable witness and testimony were invalidated. The director and screenwriter reasonably blocked the male protagonist's life one by one.
Of course, the plot will not be so bland. In the end, the heroine went to court in person. The scene in the court was very good. It basically filled in all the previous pits and answered the questions that the audience had when watching the movie. Especially when the male protagonist continuously questioned the female protagonist "How do you know", the female protagonist blurted out excitedly "I know because I never loved him the way that I love you." and hit your tear ducts without any precaution. The male and female protagonists are constantly in confrontation. The male protagonist has been unhurried and threw 3 questions to the female protagonist. If I am not Jack, the contracts signed with the villagers will be invalid. Do you have the heart to see these people have nothing? The heroine should not think about it. In her heart, saving him is the only goal. For this reason, she can disregard her own reputation, not to mention the villagers. So the male protagonist asked her a second question, do you think that after the truth is revealed, can you and your child still live on this land without any worries? And the illegitimate child waiting for the fraudster to return from prison? What would your biological son think? The director should have referenced the background of that era. Puritanism started in England, and later went to North America with the "Mayflower", where it took root. In some respects, Puritans were more conservative and more morally conscious than Christians. . So if the heroine confesses everything in court, if she sits down, it can be said to be unchaste. Those villagers spontaneously supported the male protagonist because of the excellent character of the couple. Needless to say, the female protagonist was diligent and self-reliant after her husband left. The male protagonist was very brave and went thousands of miles to get tobacco seeds for the villagers. And when the truth is presented in front of the public, one is an impostor and the other is unchaste. How the villagers will treat them is unpredictable. This question is not a trivial question. People can't escape from the environment, so the heroine was stunned. She thought about it and said that being a swindler and being imprisoned for a few years is better than being hanged. The male protagonist said softly to her, "In that case, I will die." This is the question that the male protagonist finally threw to the female protagonist. He has everything here, and if he becomes the original owner, he will have nothing. He doesn't want to die at all. If he could find the best of both worlds, he would not hesitate to do so and go home without any burden. But no, in order to keep this identity, he would rather pay the price of his life. His only requirement is that the heroine be present during the execution. The male protagonist shouted the name of the female protagonist because he was nervous at the gallows. She struggled to squeeze out of the crowd and walked in front of him. Under the tender gaze of the female protagonist, the male protagonist's breathing gradually became calm.
The heroine said, "You will hug me every day in the future. If you say you love me, show it to me, be a father, and die with me. This is love." And in the future, this love will transcend the barriers of time and space, then People can't see or touch it, but it really exists. It exists in blood, in the tobacco named after Jcck, and in the memory of the villagers. When the heroine returned to her hometown, people were helping her. She continued to live happily and safely here. This is the love he gave.
