The movie is two hours long and I watched it for two days. Then the feeling after watching it is.... The lunatic in the movie is very talented, but it is really miserable. Sora has a talent, and then accidentally kills a person and suffers. I am probably the only one who will watch such a boring movie seriously, every minute and every second, that is, every minute and every second I say that I am watching it carefully.
The film is said to be based on a true story, and the editorial board under the leadership of Dr. James Murray is going to edit a new version of the Oxford English Dictionary, using the human technology level at the time to complete the compilation of the dictionary. It took a century to complete, and Dr. James Murray pioneered the use of universal participation, allowing English speakers across the UK to collect entry definitions for the dictionary and send them to the editorial team by mail. Such words greatly speed up the compilation of dictionaries, and everyone who reads and writes English is devoting their part to the compilation of dictionaries.
Intellectuals, are the most fancy talent. Then in the process of collecting definitions, they found that a doctor named WC Miner contributed more than 10,000 quotations alone, which is a workload that is difficult for a professional linguist to complete. When the editorial board decided to pay tribute to him, an astonishing fact came to light: it turned out that Dr. Miner, a military doctor in the American Civil War Army, committed murder because of schizophrenia, was confined in a mental hospital, and was a People who are considered lunatic. But this is also a very smart and intelligent person. I think simply calling this person a "madman" is a very unfair word, and it is a very disrespectful thing to people.
But the result is that a professor, a madman, the earliest English dictionary in human history was born in the hands of two very different people. Maybe something like this happens in life, it's ridiculous.
The "madman" doctor lives and suffers very much, because he also has his own moral bottom line, so he is very painful. He felt that killing someone was a mistake. Then the wife of the deceased and he had a relationship again, so the two of them just said.... secret feelings. But the mad doctor felt very sorry in his heart, and felt that it was not very good to say that he did this. So he chose "from the palace", cut off his genitals, and then continued to live.
On the one hand, he was in pain, and on the other hand, he wanted to be with the deceased's wife. Even if the family of the deceased has forgiven the lunatic, the lunatic cannot forgive himself for his mistakes, so he chose a more extreme way. Maybe, some people in this world are like this. They always live in the trap they set for themselves. Even if there will be a lot of pain in this trap, he can't escape and find his own path.
In order to compile a dictionary, the professor put down his family.
But I think the time given in the movie is too little for the pains and pains of a professor compiling a dictionary. That said, I don't see a lot of effort being put into the professors in the movie. Although in real life, professors must put in more effort. It is enough to read the books on the whole wall, let alone remember the contents of the books, which words are in which positions, this work can only be done by human beings, if you say that you rely on robots ? That's impossible.
A bit depressing movie.
