Salt is the soul of vegetables.
And dignity is Carol's salt, the soul of her life.
Maybe, this salt is different for everyone. Dignity and love have different meanings in everyone's heart.
But we all have to pay for it.
When Carol openly and solemnly admits her relationship with Theres in front of her lawyer and her husband, she is very clear about the price she will pay, which is having to give up the opportunity to fight for custody of her daughter, a humble, lowly, mother's last A little value for visitation rights. But she just dared to do it, and even after trying her best, she couldn't get back Theres' love. She held back her tears, she knew the injustice of this society, but she just wanted everyone to face up to the reality, that is, to be who they really are, so that they are qualified to love the people they love and live the life they like. This is the salt, sometimes painful, sometimes tearful, but infused with the soulful element of her life.
When Carol came to Theres again, she knew what she was about to face, the most heart-wrenching look in the world, the rebuke from her lover, the rejection that broke her heart, the Theres she had broken with her own hands heart of. But she didn't run away. From start to finish, she looked Theres in the eyes, and she was willing to accept her rebuke, no matter how many ruthless swords there were. So, when Therese rejected her, she still looked directly at Therese with the most tender eyes and said I love you.
I admire Carol, she's so brave to take on everything she deserves.
If Carol has always been a good mother, living with a husband who loves her deeply, and constantly telling herself that she is very happy, maybe she will be like that.
What if, after leaving Theres without a word, Carol didn't dare to face her mistakes and never had the courage to go to her again.
Suppose, Carol felt sorry for Theres' cold rejection, didn't turn her head away, staggered her eyes...
Well, she certainly couldn't save Theres.
Unfortunately, the above three scenarios are the choices of most people today.
Therefore, "The Price of Salt" as a classic, handed down from that homophobic era, tells a very extraordinary story, a shocking story.
