Rules and Freedom - The Movie "Cider House Rules"

"The Law of the Cider House" (translated in Chinese as "There is Always a Bright Sun") tells the story of Homer, who grew up in an orphanage as a child, went from a closed orphanage to the outside world to pursue freedom, and gradually realized that although the rules were not reasonable, But freedom also has to have rules, and then comes back to the story of the orphanage. Everyone yearns for freedom when they are young, and doesn't understand the rules their parents require. Later, when they grow up and experience the wasted life, they realize that the original rules still have some truth. It's as if your parents told you: lying down and reading, your eyes will be short-sighted, and you shouldn't take it seriously. When I put on my glasses, I realized that it was true. Then, go to tell your child, and then add another pair of glasses, and the cycle goes on and on. It is only after personal experience that people know that some rules must be followed, but life is too short to be repeated, and people cannot have so much time to experience it. Rules and freedom are a double-edged sword. If there is only freedom without rules, it will be lawless and do whatever one wants. There are only rules, not freedom, and it will be lifeless and lifeless. Human society needs reasonable rules, and also needs corresponding freedom. The rules must be innovated to keep pace with the times, and then there will be full freedom.
