Mustang: Tell her to come see me, I'm either here or not

Imelda 2022-04-15 08:01:01

Many times, we feel like we are on a long journey.

The scenery outside the fence, the trees outside the iron window, or perhaps the passing breeze. In short, these trifles are part of the journey.

Outside the journey, those twinkling stars are the eyes of our family, warm and kind, but they are thousands of miles apart and cannot be approached.

Watching Laurie de Clermont-Tonell's "Wild Horses," it always reminds me of Kerouac's words, "Our shepherd is gone." I am determined to wait for the spring when the flowers bloom and the earth recovers.

Roman's Aphasia and Confession.

Martha's indifference and forgiveness.

If you want to see a good story, this movie is obviously not suitable.

It is more suitable for quiet nights or windless nights, when one is quietly watching the screen go on and off.

Violent criminal Roman Coleman has been jailed for injuring his wife while his six-year-old daughter takes on the responsibility of caring for her mother.

In the days that followed, the daughter waited for her father's return with love, hatred and anticipation.

Father Roman Coleman, violent criminal Roman Coleman, was given a chance to rehabilitate in prison, one of which was training wild horses.

In this activity, Roman Coleman begins to repent, tries to understand his daughter's love and hate, and tries to say goodbye to the unforgettable past.

There are no twists and turns, no dramatic twists and turns that sound bland and uninteresting.

In addition to the story, "Wild Horse" is also expressing the control of people by the state machine and the tolerance of people by nature's creatures. The opposition between the two is actually an indictment.

As the plot progresses, we can see the metaphors behind the story, how we should get along with others, with ourselves, with nature, and with the world.

When Roman Coleman went from horseman to rider, it felt like a Western.

In Western movies, a man can only be called a man if he rides a horse.

At this time, Roman Coleman is no longer the violent criminal, but a man who is tolerated and accepted by nature, and thus finds the value of existence and the meaning of life.

That's probably what "Project Mustang" means.

In a civilized society, everyone needs to put on a gorgeous coat, which is a fig leaf of desire and humanity.

In nature, man is just a creature, no different from an animal. This is the kindest and most benevolent part of nature.

It makes human beings self-exile in the cement city, and when they are covered with bruises, they are accepted with warm embraces. This is a kind of heart-piercing healing.

Some people say that there are many emotions and secrets in this world every day, they happen in an instant and then disappear in the torrent of time. It is impossible to grasp, and there is no need to grasp it, because everyone lives with countless feelings that only last for a moment. But they are still so moving, especially the glimpses in darkness and despair.

The film ends with a warm letter, which is the daughter's forgiveness to her father and the reconciliation between father and daughter.

This warm beauty took twelve years.

    7.5 points. An unexpected surprise. The hostility, cooperation, tacit understanding, and final separation between a violent criminal and a wild horse are generally very restrained and restrained. In fact, there are not many DRAMA, but it is very comfortable to watch. The ending was unexpected, neither HAPPY ENDING nor miserable. It was a little bland, but it really caught my heart.

    7 points. Caught wild horses must be domesticated within a specified time, otherwise they will be euthanized. It is the prisoners who domesticate wild horses. In a sense, prisoners are also in the process of being "domesticated" by the prison. Whether the domestication is successful or not marks whether they can return to society. On the surface, the prisoners are saving the wild horses, but in fact the wild horses are also "saving" the prisoners, but one is active and the other is passive. The wild wild horse fails domestication and prisoners risk letting it go. Although the horse was not successfully domesticated, the prisoner's heart changed, and his irritability and loneliness were quietly changed with the gentleness of getting along with the horse.

The Mustang quotes

  • Psychologist: You've been in isolation. What do you think about that?

    Roman: I'm not good with people.

  • Martha: When I was six, I, uh, started to write letters of support to your parole board. But your parole was always denied, so I thought it was my fault that you were still in prison, because I wasn't a good enough writer. Then, when I got older, I understood. You didn't want to get out. So I stopped writing. I kept one of those letters. "My dad is fun. Send him back home".
