"The Scarlet Letter". Who can tell what sin is in the sight of God? There is no perfect world, so create a new one. They left that savage land. In the end, preaching did not change anything; in the end, there was inevitably a war between Indian "savages" and "civilized" white men; in the end, happiness belonged to the good. I don't understand the value of that doctor showing up, a man who was captured by the Indians and abandoned by the Indians who thought he would bring bad luck, a white man with a split personality; don't understand what made them like this Son, what shackles their footsteps. If the Indians are savage and cruel, they bloody slaughtered everything; isn't it cruel that those so-called white people, under the shackles of etiquette and under the domination of selfish desires, use conspiracy to put people to death? Perhaps, Indians and whites are two extremes. Indians represent the original, unrestricted, pure and natural people. Such people are undoubtedly inferior and need to evolve, but they are also pure. Their behavior is the most original behavior; white people are so-called "" Animals in a "civilized" society are subject to constraints and restrictions from various aspects, such as religion, law, desire... Of course, absolute freedom cannot exist. Appropriate restraint is a kind of civilization, and excessive restraint is a kind of repression and bondage. The world of pure nature and oppression is impossible to be beautiful, but the product of human fantasy. In the end, they left this most contradictory world and finally found their own happiness, a paradise full of love. The island is undoubtedly a confrontation between modern "civilization" and primitive "barbarism", a microcosm of a society, and people's thinking about survival. The "scarlet letter" is a symbol of sin. Who can tell what sin is in the eyes of God? The "scarlet letter" is also a symbol of resistance and challenge. In the face of religion, people begin to think about democracy and independence! It is not difficult to see that the film advocates a spirit, a spirit of freedom and the courage to challenge! Say what you have, as long as you have the courage! Life requires courage, and life requires creativity!
The confrontation between "civilization" and "barbarism" in "The Scarlet Letter", thinking about freedom, human nature, especially the liberation of women... There is no perfect world, life requires courage, and life requires creativity! The "scarlet letter" is a symbol of sin, but who can tell what sin is in the eyes of God?
