private thoughts

In the middle, I thought he was saved by books, but in the end I realized that it was love, it should be love. The phrase in the film "Standing on the spine of the book, I leaped over the wall in front of me, and with the wings of words, I reached the top of the world. Only after reading, there is no chasing soldiers, I am chasing, the footsteps of God." . I like it very much and can somewhat understand the feeling of the protagonist saying this. Shamelessly use my own experience to interpret (?) this: I really appreciate books. Although I am new to reading, reading has provided me with shelter several times over the past year. I saw a film review that said: Excessive pursuit of moral perfection often leads to a dilemma. A little sad. Yes, how many people's "road" is difficult to walk because they are "excessive" in a certain way. In fact, the entire viewing process is filled with an overly idealistic resistance to the film. In addition, some of the pictures really caused physical discomfort. Maybe I'd be more receptive if Merrett didn't fall in love with William, but just forgive. But, if there is no love, will there be forgiveness? In other words, there is love only on the basis of forgiveness, so forgiveness comes first. It's only now that I realize that I actually don't feel resistance to idealization, I don't feel too ideal because William is forgiven, and I don't feel too ideal because of the beauty of human nature shown in the film. The so-called "a little bit unacceptable" is because in the end he was released. Probably seeing too much news recently, too many people have been lightly sentenced and released from prison and then causing harm again, and the brain has put William's situation on a par with those who should have been punished severely, so there is resistance. For those who have done harm, perhaps they can be forgiven, but their freedom should be 100% premised on the rest of the public. Well, farther away. It's actually quite confusing. I haven't been able to sort out my feelings now, perhaps because some of the issues raised by the movie have no clear point of view, so I feel chaotic. I really like the role of "Prison Guard" Muncy. From the beginning to the end, every action of his is with kindness. For William's attending physician, emmmm, after William heard the word "healing", he immediately changed the word to "protection", and he was full of goodwill towards this character at that moment. The initial impression of him always evokes my respect and gratitude to the medical staff, so for his final blackening, it is a bit incompetent to accept.

  • James Murray: Who's she?

    Dr. William Chester Minor: The impossible.

    James Murray: The more impossible, the greater the love.

    Dr. William Chester Minor: Do you truly believe that? My heart is so sick.

    James Murray: Well... what I know of love is that the sickness often becomes the cure.

  • Ada Murray: Sometimes when we push away, that is when we most need to be resisted.
