Ethel knew very well that she sympathized with her husband and loved her deeply... Reading Shuimuding to a young man this morning The letter to answer the question of the meaning of life in life, Shuimuding said, only people care about the meaning of life, those animal lions and so on, it runs in the wilderness, basks in the sun, is free, and does not think about it. So I advise girls not to ask what is the meaning of life, just do what you like to do (to the effect). I thought about Ethel, what was the whole point of her existence in her later years? She meant something to Norman, she was his beacon, candlelight, everything he had, if his world were without him, with his eccentricities, he wouldn't have a good relationship with his daughter, who was already far apart, he Will fall deeper into loveless contradictions and self-denial pains... Ethel can live without Norman, and Norman will wither than ashes without Ethel...
Ethel's pity , From the bottom of my heart, how warm my love for my husband is. The reason why she can live with him is because she can see him correctly, know him, and believe him. His stubbornness, cold-eyed quirks, and vitriol are also the way he loves. Moreover, she also saw his humor, and after the aura of being a professor's man faded, she could also see his weakness... She knew that he could die for her, he couldn't live without her, she was his lovely Goddess... If there is such a lover around in the world, what a luxury happiness.
And her daughter and Norman had a bad relationship. She went home to celebrate Norman's birthday. It was a rare meeting in terms of their lonely old age in the town. But when her daughter entered the house, Norman's first greeting made her annoyed. He said she was a little fat. In the whole movie, this daughter only wears a bikini, how thin, which makes her look very strong. The daughter always thought that he was denying her, mocking her, mocking her, growing up, ignoring her feelings... She was deeply hurt, and she thought he was a selfish and ruthless father.
To be honest, I have some psychological barriers to their father-daughter estrangement, because of my relationship with my father. I used to think that I could tolerate the estrangement between me and my father, but a recent trip with him put me and him in a bad situation again. I was like the daughter in the movie, and I felt that I was in my 30s. It's still so bad, my emotions are caught in a rage that I can't control, I try to suppress them, but when I talk, they still pop out hopelessly. I have been convincing myself that I can forgive everything, no, in the face of estrangement, I should not blindly deny it with tolerance, I should face up to my heart, I should not beautify anything, if possible, try to solve something. Norman and his daughter in the film have always embarrassed and touched me.
What to do when a person gets old? Gradually derailed from society, gradually disliked and loved by others. Billy has a nasty attitude when he learns that he has been left by his father and Chelsea around Norman and Ethel, saying that he doesn't like being with them because they are too old. Norman and Ethel sailed to the other side of the boat to go shopping and refuel. The two children at the gas station despised Norman, thinking that he was so old that he might not be able to sail. The old question is always there, and what does the film want to tell people from the perspective of the three children? Is it the loneliness of old age? I think, since, no matter how proud people are, they will grow old, so we should cherish the proud days of immortality; people are equal, people and animals, plants are equal, people's selfishness, far away Far less advanced than animals and plants, people are destroying all of this, and people should love each other.
Another question is how to face death when death is imminent.
Ethel loves Norman, his daughter Checy, and his daughter's husband's son Billy. She can see others correctly, and guide her daughter and Billy to see Norman correctly and see love.
Ethel is the soul of this film, the soul of love.
Salute to her.
