Many people are controversial about Selma's choice. But only those who have experienced darkness understand the value of light. Thelma almost has a fanatical yearning for her son to have a pair of normal eyes. She would rather lose her life than have her son live forever in dark fear. Such maternal love may be "stupid", but it does not prevent its "greatness".
The only thing Selma belongs to herself is her love of opera. She will listen carefully to the continuous melody of the various machines in the factory, imagining that everyone dances happily on the stage to the notes she sings. Compared with the paleness and swaying of the real images, the scenes in the dream are bright and agile, making people unable to look directly.
Selma's unparalleled strength is deeply moving. No matter how much struggle and helplessness in life, she can raise an innocent smile and cover up all the pain without a trace. The opera healed the wounds of life, and made her singing more ethereal and gentle than the sounds of nature. There was no accusation, no resentment, but only yearning and expectation for a better life. It is precisely because of these that this woman is so beautiful and moving.
There are too many reasons for sadness and loss in life. When you are desperate, you will find that things will never be the worst, only worse. But if you are strong enough and give yourself a little confidence, you can recover the situation bit by bit and let life develop in a good direction. Belief is an ability. Love makes people braver.
