2016) This film deeply portrays people's hearts and human nature while pinpointing the evils of the times. Certain details in the film deserve careful scrutiny, otherwise we might arrive at a completely wrong perception. Of course, the "needle" is a joint effect of the story, but if we only consider the reasons for the events in the story, we seem to be able to draw the following conclusion: the hero of the film, the surgeon Romeo, is the root of all problems. He not only He is the maker of his own family crisis, and the indirect maker of his daughter's troubles before graduation, and the key may be that he unknowingly angered a dog owner. Why say he is the maker of his own family crisis? The current state of his wife is a good illustration. He and his wife are both returnees from studying abroad. In the context of the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, it should be said that they have a pure heart. However, even if the Romanian system has changed, people seem to be the same, the whole society is not developing according to their wishes, and their disappointment can be imagined. Obviously, he is not a person who can resist temptation, keep his original intention, and stick to his principles, and his wife may be the opposite, so the rift between husband and wife came into being. His wife is now smoking, not only because of the marital crisis, but also because of her "persistence". In such a society, "persistence", even a little bit, may pay an unimaginable price. Her current career as a librarian can be regarded as a proof to some extent. How can the misery in her heart be in her hands? The smoke can be dissolved. Compared to his wife, he is much more practical, and he will not "hold on" for no benefit. One detail in his discussions with the former customs officer, now the deputy mayor, called Bligh, seems to illustrate his above-mentioned personality. At first he wanted to refuse a glass of wine that Bligh poured him, but when he found out that it was a good wine and asked for a glass after drinking it, it clearly wanted to show that he was not a principled person. In reality, his betrayal of his wife has a personality foundation. It was because of his betrayal of his wife that he maintained a lover relationship with a young and beautiful 35-year-old female teacher who was once his patient, causing his daughter to be attacked before her graduation exam. The attacker obviously didn't mean to his daughter, because the attacker didn't want to rape at all, and he didn't seem to want to stop his daughter's graduation exam. Although his daughter's exam was indeed affected because of this, he carefully analyzed his daughter's performance after being attacked. , especially since she was able to identify the suspect but deliberately did not, we seem to be able to conclude that there must be something wrong. Explaining this clearly requires thinking about the constant "harassment" of their house, and the clue is that every time he is harassed, there is an image of the dog. the first time When the window glass of his house was smashed, he went downstairs to look for the troublemaker. There was a black dog behind him, and a man in black pants stood on the other side of the railway not far away. He wanted to catch up. This person happened to encounter a speeding train. After the train passed, the person escaped without a trace. Obviously, this person was the most suspicious. The second time he was harassed was when he was driving his daughter home when a dog suddenly jumped out from the right front of the car. Although he braked to avoid the dog, both he and his daughter were frightened; It is good to conclude that the owner of this dog is intentionally releasing the dog to harass him, but combined with the subsequent events, we can infer that this "dog running" is by no means a random event. The third time he sent his daughter to take the exam on the first day, when he went out, he found that the wiper of his car had been pulled by someone, and a dog was jogging not far away. The fourth time the windshield of the car was smashed, the dog in front of the car turned his head and ran away. The person who smashed the car's glass should be the owner of the dog. The fifth time, after his daughter did not want to identify the suspect (the person caught by the police based on the video was placed among the others, which is easy to identify, and the one who recited the words without reading the note should be the attack ), when he took the bus home, he suddenly found that the released suspect was looking at him strangely, so he suddenly understood something, got out of the car and chased, and entered a community full of barking dogs, this community It is the community where his lover lives. It is conceivable that the criminal suspect is intentionally implying something. This detail is obviously also reminding us that the dog owner is the criminal suspect. The reason why he attacked the doctor's daughter is because He lived in a community with the doctor's lover, and he carried out the attack at the same time as the doctor and his lover were lingering. If it is said that "there is no love for no reason nor hatred for no reason", then the attacker must have some kind of connection with this lover, or a secret love, or some kind of defender. I think the latter is more likely. Because (1) the defender does not serve his own personal interests to some extent, his attack is easily forgiven. This is at least an important reason for his daughter not to identify the suspect, even if she was attacked, the suspect may have other threats, perhaps her father's sex scandal. (2) Defenders must maintain a certain ethical order. There seems to be some kind of religious connotation in throwing stones, and in the end when he was playing in the park with his lover's child, the little boy threw stones at another little boy who was not following the order, which seemed to imply that the stone throwing was not for the actor of direct interests, but out of righteous indignation. In addition, once the purpose of the defenders is achieved, the innocent will not be abused. So, when he was kicked out of the house by his wife, he always wanted to install windows The wife of the guardrail no longer wanted to pretend. Obviously, he was the source of danger to the family. As long as he leaves his original wife, whether he continues with his current lover or not, the ethical order of the marriage has been maintained, and the harassment will probably not continue. (3) The fact that his daughter no longer wants to go abroad may also have something to do with the defenders. He is determined to make his daughter go abroad, and even maintains an unethical relationship with his lover, saying that it is for his daughter. He must make a lot of noise about going abroad, which will arouse some extreme religious fanatics (if this guy is a fanatic) From harassment to personal attacks, the degree of attack seems to be increasing, which is the degree to which the defenders are strengthening their warnings. Of course, his daughter has a boyfriend and doesn't want to study abroad. She has her own considerations, and some details seem to indicate that she does not want to do well in the graduation exam. For example, when she walks indoors without socks, her father reminded her twice Second-rate. (Text/Slate Planting Flowers on Wednesday, December 14, 2016) ps.

Graduation quotes

  • Romeo: Eliza, you have to do your best. It'd be a pity to miss this chance. Some important steps in life depend on small things. And some chances shouldn't be wasted. You know, in '91, your Mum and I decided to move back. It was a bad decision. We thought things would change, we thought we'd move mountains. We didn't move anything. I have no regrets, though. At least we tried...
