outside the rules

This is a story about "breaking the rules". Unfortunately, the Chinese translation lost the rule originally called "the Cider House Rule". What is the meaning of the rules? The legitimacy of the rules is sometimes questioned, as Mr. Rose said those who made the rules ain't live here. The film is full of people who break the rules, Muddy smoking in bed, eating lunch on the roof Peaches, Candy who cheated on her boyfriend while serving, Dr. Larch who falsified education and medical records for Homer, and Mr. Rose, the incestuous father of his daughter, gained everyone's understanding beyond common sense. These people who break the rules in the name of love are not disgusting, but their warmth is like a trickle. It's a world full of rules, and breaking the rules is like a carnival on the streets. It's an occasional indulgence outside of the norm, and sometimes it's weaknesses that make people cute.
