To observe the world is to observe yourself

I watched it a few days ago, and it is still in my favorites, and I am going to take it out for review another day.
From the beginning, I felt that the old doctor's soothing recitation was gentle, and this feeling continued. Even in the incest part of the father and daughter, it was not destroyed. Until the end, the whole film can feel a touch of warmth.
Homer has been looking for love, but in fact the most sincere in the whole film is the old doctor's love for Homer, selfless and gentle, just like a real father, maybe because of this, when Homer went to the world, he experienced different things. Only after living will you discover your true heart and understand what life really suits you.
Observing the world sometimes makes us look at ourselves from more angles, so Homer finds himself at the end and returns to his roots.

One of the most impressive images is when Homer leaves, the car drives out between two trees, as if stepping through a door to the outside world. The orange sunset is very beautiful.

    There is always a hot sun: good night, the prince of Maine, the king of New England. The music is beautiful.

The Cider House Rules quotes

  • [Homer reads the actual Cider House Rules to the illiterate workers]

    Peaches: What do they think, go up to the roof to sleep? They must think we're crazy. They think we're dumb niggers, so we need some dumb rules, is what they think.

    Rose Rose: That's it? It don't mean nothin' at all. And all this time I been wonderin' about 'em.

    Arthur Rose: They outrageous, them rules. Who live in this cider house? Who grindin' up those apples, pressin' that cider, cleanin' up all this mess? Who just plain live here, just breathin' in that vinegar? Well, someone who don't live here made those rules. Those rules ain't for us. We are supposed to make our own rules. And we do. Every single day.

  • Homer Wells: I'm not a doctor. I haven't been to medical school; I haven't even been to high school.
