The background of the story should be when the rural towns in the United States are changing, the times are quietly changing, and people's beliefs and mentality are also quietly changing. , while the progress of society has ripped apart the foundation of traditional families, that is, the tradition of education in a strict and simple family style that is passed on to each other. Oliver is obviously from such a family, but at the same time excessive etiquette and family style Hereditary mental tension made it difficult for her to adapt to this fast-changing and lonely society, but what we saw was an old woman who continued to live with her own perseverance. Life was not easy for Oliver, although she did do it many times. She made the wrong choice, and she is fortunate to have found a tolerant and considerate husband.
She insists on keeping her garden clean, her clothes neat, and a strict lifestyle. Maybe we can think that she uses this strict method to fight her overly sensitive nerves and the negative elements of her intuition. Because of her overly conservative and strict style, her son's alienation from her caused her a lot of inconvenience in life. Although she is so unapproachable, she will lose a little temper because of a little emotion, but her heart is full of love for family and friends, although she shows it in a strict way, because in her life In view, how important it is to develop habits and develop good morals, and it is true, a good family style plays an indelible role in shaping a child's future.
I don't think old man Kitteridge deliberately used flowers to please Oliver every time. It was the difficulty of life and mutual sympathy that made him see Oliver's advantages, and because of Oliver's shortcomings, he insisted on playing the role of a guardian as always. , so that the negative influence of Oliver's character can be minimized. He is like the warm sunshine, which contains and comforts Oliver's moonlight-like character shadow. We can imagine that there is an old lady like Oliver by our side. Our attitude towards her will definitely not be as peaceful as written in calm, but angry with emotion and incomprehension. Young Oliver must also treat society like that. , indifference, isolation, and imperceptibly love this society. Fortunately, the movie has such a slightly clear ending, that is, Oliver became a grandmother, Kitteridge and Oliver have been supporting each other and approaching the end of their lives.
Kitteridge's image is like Nicholas in a splendid life, full of humanistic care, their characters are well-developed, they can put themselves in others' shoes, and resolve the crisis in a gentle way, so Kitteridge's The image that helps me is to set an example for me, such a believer in hope and good humanity. Without him, Oliver might really have become a "witch" who couldn't get in touch with society very well. It was he who made Oliver gradually open up his mind. Although he was not able to accompany each other to the end, it was considered that they had lived a good life with each other for most of their lives.
Another distinctive feature of Oliver is her straightforwardness, her independent and sharp attitude towards phenomena, in today's society, it is more and more convenient for people to communicate with each other, but the distance between us is getting more and more distant, and we can't really get close spiritually. We are orphans in the spiritual desert. We try to use peaceful social phenomena to appease our hearts, but we are powerless. Her bluntness brought her a lot of inconvenience, but she simply and purely pierced the lies. She was like a shadow that was too real, covering the rapidly magnifying whiteboard of society.
No matter how difficult life is, beauty will always exist. We do not oppose suicide of those whose outlook on life is destroyed, but we oppose suicide and the practice of easily assigning the gifts of nature to nothingness, even if we cannot easily categorize the heavy, We will also feel that the film is still full of warmth, Father's Day cards, flowers that are constantly being given, hugs, communication, they wipe the haze in life, wipe the sky shrouded in sorrow, there will always be warmth that you like , don't give up easily, go out, greet others, embrace the sun.
