I know the cider house rules are ridiculous, it can be burned, no one needs to be bound by it. But what about other rules? No one obeyed the secular rules, but they all paid the price in the end: the incest of the parents led to the abortion of the daughter, and the father finally lost his daughter and died in pain. Betrayal because of fear of loneliness, hurt Homer, and he has always been burdened with guilt. Even Dr. Li Zhi died of ether overdose. The protagonist didn't end well.
My clumsy perception can't understand what this movie is trying to express. I don't know what the rules of the cider house refer to. All I know is that these protagonists dance very well, and they can challenge the limits of my rules. , I just finished watching this movie three times, because I was flustered. From the moment I saw Homer talking to the heroine alone, I knew what was going to happen next. This kind of bloody, ethical and moral mistakes The plot I've been accepting of incompetence, I immediately turned off the movie. Later, in the spirit of having a beginning and an end, I watched it intermittently. I didn’t expect the plot to be even more sad than I guessed: Dr. Li Zhi never saw Homer again until he died, and he was sad that his Homer was lost in the red dust. inside.
If this movie is about being brave enough to break the rules, I'm really sorry, you've only had the opposite effect. After watching it, I just want to follow the moral code, don't cheat, don't incest, okay? It's not that the rules can't be broken, but you should think about it before breaking it. Does this really outweigh the disadvantages? Are you doing it for selfish desire or for the bigger picture? I admire Dr. Li Zhi the most in the whole film. He is really a great God who created the world of orphans and women. He illegally gave women abortions in order to let them live a better life without being fettered. He forged Homer's resume. In order to find an excellent successor to take care of the children in the orphanage. On the other hand, cheaters and incestuous people only have their own lusts in their minds, and what's the use of regretting them afterwards.
Homer ends up back in the orphanage, so the ending is generally good. But I am very sad, sad for Dr. Li Zhi. Heartbroken for the love that everyone wrongly paid for.
PS. I really don't know what the theme of the movie is, but I just feel very sad when I watch it. If there is something wrong, welcome to discuss it in a friendly way.
