Most Chinese people have the historical complex of the Han and Tang Dynasties. For young America, it is the western cowboy complex. Therefore, whenever the movie moves out of the western cowboy background, it will not be out of date.
The reflection is that Scarlett was still a girl at that time. A woman with short hair and a big back is not easy to mess with, nor is her daughter easy to mess with, the same goes for the horse her daughter raises. The film was released in 1998. If it were filmed today twenty years later, the ending might be different, because people's views on the city and marriage have changed too much.
What a woman should see clearly at an early age is what kind of lover she is looking for. A woman who can go to India alone, but encounters a man who is well-behaved. In fact, for Annie, rather than saying that she fell in love with Tom, it was better to say that she chose to escape temporarily and enjoy the beauty of the idyllic vacation. The details of many conversations show that she has been deeply imprinted on the city in essence, her career has consumed too much time and energy, her original intention has gradually become chaotic, and her relationship with her daughter has created a deep rift. Shi West and Tom undoubtedly made her find her true self.
At a critical moment as a mother, Annie made a bold decision to take her physically and mentally frustrated daughter alone, pulling a crazy horse, to seek healing from a stranger thousands of miles away. She was a brave and determined woman, and it was the unruly stubbornness in Anne's soul that made Tom fall in love with her. But during the journey, the mother and daughter had a big quarrel. Annie left her daughter and went to the suburbs to find a moment of tranquility. Her hand holding the iron fence kept shaking, and she was quietly accompanied only by the darkness of dusk and a cemetery that no one cared about. . For the strong Annie, the bad situation and the hardships of the world are not enough to make her fear. And sometimes things are like this, and we have to wait for it to break down to the end before we can turn around, because only at this moment can we make up our minds to let go.
The final outcome is predictable, although Tom has said that he and his ex-wife are not with his ex-wife because he is suitable but because he loves her, but it turns out that the most suitable wife for a cowboy is the shepherd's daughter rather than the intellectual woman in the city, This is also the reason why Tom did not want to repeat the same mistakes, and Anne finally turned around in tears. However, maybe not being together is forever being together, loving someone is just in exchange for a worthwhile life experience. Although, time only gives their love a time to dance, but it is unforgettable.
A fresh emotion has always been a luxury for a rational adult. After all, no one will easily give up a stable state and pursue an unpredictable happiness. If Annie chooses Tom, all her previous efforts may be in vain. In order to fulfill her family's responsibilities and obligations, and for her daughter's future, she has to go back to the city hunting ground with full arms and accept competitions and contests that are more cruel than the laws of nature. This is not only a personal fate, but also the tragedy of an irreversible era.
The tears of the whole film, except for the farewell of the hero and heroine at the end, I dedicated to the horse-training plot. The title of the film is "Horse Whisperer," and the whole process of healing and healing of the pilgrims, connecting the whole story, all the people and things. Whether the pilgrims can recover or not depends on whether Grace can get rid of her previous trauma and rebuild her confidence in the future, whether the relationship between mother and daughter can be healed, and whether the entire family crisis can be resolved. Furthermore, in such a fantastic journey, Annie unexpectedly gained an emotional experience, which made her body and mind recuperate and face the future again.
The length of nearly three hours shows that the director has the ambition to make classics, but the core of the story does not penetrate into the subtleties of human nature and lacks a classic context. It's hard to imagine what the family of three will be like when they return to New York. After all, the pace of city life can't hold any Western fantasy. Although the plot design of the film is somewhat unavoidable, the photography is still excellent, and it is a victory if people can watch it happily!
