If it is a pity to say that the child wants to be raised and the parent does not wait, then it is cruel to seek the child and not wait for the child. Every protagonist in the film "Philomena" has a real character portrayal. The heroine, Philomena, became pregnant because she was out of wedlock when she was young and was sent to a convent for hard labor by her family. Fifty years later, she and the frustrated journalist Martin embark on a journey to find their son. 1. In the face of separation, she has no choice. If now, the young girl Philomena can go to the hospital after she is pregnant. Yet in conservative Ireland in 1952, the Church gave her the heaviest judgment in the name of God. In the monastery, even if the time with the child is short but still happy, the child is her whole world, and when the child is taken away, her world collapses immediately. However, in the face of separation, she was unable to do anything to resist, and could only watch her child be taken away. 2. Missing has never stopped. The missing mentioned here is not only Philomena's missing for her son Anthony, but also her son's missing her mother. Philomena has never stopped looking for her son for 50 years. She would think about what kind of life her son lived, whether her son became famous or went to prison. Son Anthony vaguely remembered his biological mother in his incomplete memory. He has twice returned to the monastery to find his mother. In his short life, he has always regarded his distant hometown and unreachable family as the invisible consolation in his life. This is the power of affection. 3. Forgive me. When Philomena found her son, she and her son were separated from each other. She bid farewell to her child twice in her life. Which mother can withstand such pain? Regret is also cruel. However, this regret could have been avoided. At the end of Anthony's life, he returned to the convent twice. He asked the elderly nun, but he could not get the contact information of his mother. And Philomena also returned to the monastery more than once, asking if there was any chance of finding her child. The old nun knew it, but she chose the cruelest silence. To you, Philomena's "I forgive you" seems understated and meaningful. Philomena chose to be kind to the world. The nuns deprived the mother and child of the affection in the name of God, while Philomena believed in the inherent goodness of human nature and chose to forgive.
