spiritualism

No one can imagine how selfish people can be; we can't describe how selfless people can be. Yes, life is ever-changing, and who else can write this introduction.
This could be the last Saturday afternoon of my last winter break, who knows. Anyway, the weather is not good, gloomy, light rain. Lying lazily on the sofa at Sister Wang's house and watching a movie together.
The protagonist of the story is a person who is extremely disgusted with his past. He has experienced ups and downs in his life. He replaced the name of another person and successfully occupied other people's property, land and family. Through a different identity, he achieved success in his career and led the people in the town to get a bumper crop of tobacco farming; under the risk, he obtained spiritual satisfaction, the wholehearted love of his "wife" and the wholehearted The praise of the farm. But all of this is based on a huge lie after all, that he is not based on him. This identity allows him to obtain what his life desires, and of course he will also ask for it. He knew this, but he might not have thought that it was his own life who had to pay for the wishful life.
In the end he gave up his life for a false name. Indeed, in this way he changed himself completely, and he became a completely good man, even a spiritually strong man, only to be hanged for accidentally killing someone.
There are several places in this film that resonate with me the most, the idea of ​​heroism; it is not so much that I am looking forward to the emergence of heroes in reality to save all beings, it is better to say that I have dreamed of having some kind of magical power that can help me since I was a child. Bring the ideal into reality, and change all the unsatisfactory things. Romantic bridges; romantic love can please the body and mind anywhere. In many classic stories, they seem to be the spiritual pillars of people, just like some kind of faith. The spirit of preferring jade broken rather than tile complete: the protagonist of this film does not admit his true identity until his death, although he has many reasons that are obvious to everyone, such as love, such as the reputation of children, such as the well-being of the villagers, etc. . But in my opinion, he is more for himself, he does not want to return to the identity that he was unbearable in the past, he is in love with him now, he is satisfied with today's happiness, even if all this is to be exchanged with life , he also wanted to. This reminds me of a saying I used to say, man, why are you competing with yourself? This is difficult for anyone, but I still appreciate those who dare to compete with themselves, no matter what, they are strong.

    The wife concealed the secret that she had seen long ago because of her increased love, and it was established temporarily. So many old friends of the villagers can't recognize them? Ebert believes that Kiel's character is driven by redemption, a desire for a new identity, and a desire to abandon the past. It's just that the price paid is too extreme for us to accept. ...but the idea of ​​changing husbands is really interesting. Both left and right can interpret their views from their own point of view. The family and true love that conservatives value, the right to choose that liberals value.

    A real case from the south of France in the 16th century is heart-wrenchingly performed by two famous stars. Delicate women have long known that this considerate, kind and sincere husband is fake, but it is better than the man whose prodigal son is countless times who can make her reborn. The law is by no means the name of eternal gods, it is only the so-called justice of the moment and the place. Where is it when starving and dying, rich and powerful, chasing profits, women and children without support? The real Dharma in the world is nothing but human and worldly sophistication.
