Some people say that Inman should not die. I think there is no reason to keep Inman alive. Because the war is always going to make people die. Why is it not him that died, but only the lives that are weaker than him or the lives that are not loved? Is it because he is stronger than others? Is there love waiting for him? Shouldn't you die? This doesn't make sense. Life is equally important. Especially in the face of war, any life, no matter how humble it is compared with his life, is equally precious.
He really should die. Because this will better reflect all the stupidity and cruelty of war. The screenwriter knew that we didn't want him to die, so we let him die. Not only that, in order to remind us that what true love is, he should also die. Because true love is love: when two people become one, the death of one of them does not annihilate the love.
Some people say that Inman is dead, how does Ada live? Just as when watching "Tatanic" back then, some people thought that Rose should sink to the bottom of the sea with Jack. I just think that, just like the plot, Ada should not only live, but also live happily. Life is precious. Death is always an insult to life. A person can choose to die because of ignorance and cowardice, and he can choose to live because of strength. Death does not detract from love in the slightest, and love in turn resists death. Ada already has a great love. Although Inman's body is dead, it doesn't matter. She will never feel the lack of love again, she has obtained the most powerful force from the great love. This time the great love has been enough for her to live a lifetime. Live bravely and happily. As Ida said, Inman's shadow is everywhere in her life.
Moreover, Inman also survived. There must be Inman's shadow everywhere in Ada. And death is completely nothing. We can imagine that if Ada died, no one knew of their love, and he would lie quietly in the grave, no one remembered. This is regrettable at least.
The play is full of rigid beauty and the joy of life, which is the national spirit full of masculinity in the West. When the enemy came, every young man went to join the army; his relatives died, but he still survived. In comparison, we are already citizens without national character. In the play, Ida’s female partner best demonstrates this. No wonder he won the best supporting actress.
In the play, "Wuthering Heights" is mentioned in the mouth of Ada's female companion. It's this sentence: Cathy shouldn't marry Linton, she should marry Heathcliff! Very classic lines. I think so too. Indeed, from the perspective of the plot and atmosphere, it is intense, dreamy, and a bit of Wuthering Heights. The cold mountains of North Carolina in the southern United States have the beauty of the wasteland; the hero is a carpenter; the simple people, the beautiful paradise-style pastoral scenery, and the persistent love that can withstand the test of life and death, etc., all make people think of " The metaphor of "Wuthering Heights": true love is based on the wasteland, the love of the strong man of life, the love of two unusually pure men and women. (I especially want to remind everyone that the hero and heroine separate even before they don’t know much about it, but this is like an unconscious love that supports them.)
By the way, let’s look at the funny theme. I have watched too many movies, and I almost forget about love in the world.
