Through the back of the film, we see more of the inexhaustible human nature hidden in the hearts of the people...
Indulged in the pain of miscarriage, facing the baby Lucy drifting from the sea, Isabel was in tears Begging her husband Tom to hide the truth and to sow fear of Isabel's premature birth, Lucy became their daughter. As we know, after the extreme desire in the human heart is shattered, a sudden ray of light will make people instinctively try to grasp, even if the thing is different from what we originally imagined. Human nature is always so, inner grief needs something like that to distract attention. In "Lost Orphan" Zeng Shuai and Lei Zekuan embarked on a family search. In a later family search, Zeng Shuai knew that what he was about to see was not his biological parents, but he still went to see them without hesitation. I think Zeng Shuai's mentality at that time was the same as Isabelle's mentality at this time.
Under the condemnation of his conscience, Tom lived in guilt all day long. In the end, he finally told the truth. It can be said that he completed his redemption for many years. I think this contains the intolerance and kindness in human nature.
Another example is Lucy's biological mother, Hannah, when she received the token secretly sent by Tom, she showed anxiety and panic, which can be said to be instinctive maternal love. After learning what the Toms had done many years ago, she had the idea of revenge on the Toms. Fortunately, human nature is good at last, and good things always triumph over dark things. When she almost lost Lucy again, she saw her husband many years ago and Lucy who was sleeping as a baby. The husband said to her. , we have to learn to be tolerant. Lucy found it, out of mother's nature, she chose Lucy's future and put down revenge.
The last scene of the film is many years later in 1950. By then, Lucy had grown up, Tom had grown old, and Isabelle had long since passed away. Lucy read the letter Isabel wrote to her many years ago with a look of happiness, she asked Tom if she could visit him again in the future? Tom replied, you make me happy to visit.
This happy ending makes me guess the director's intention, the possible theme of human nature that the director wants to express, the existence of human nature will make people dark, and it will also make people know the light of life, and the intensity of light is often greater than the degree of darkness. The light between the oceans, a touch of human light, will not get lost at sea, and will eventually find the beautiful continent that belongs to human beings.
