Why would a literature professor want someone to write his biography?
And why find a hidden writer to write his biography? When the professor asked the writer why he was hiding in the forest, the writer said that it was like in a Greek tragedy story "when the protagonist finds out that everything he knew was wrong", the professor agreed with me. I think this is the answer. The professor also discovered that it was a mistake to weave the story of his life and spend such a tangled life.
Why did the professor's wife die? It shouldn't be the professor who said he died of a heart attack because of the accusation. The professor was lying when he first met the writer and told him that his father's background was a Jewish barber. Maybe the death of his wife was also a lie. Maybe the professor and his wife To be frank, my wife died of a heart attack due to a severe blow. From the bottom of my heart, the professor couldn't forgive himself, not others.
This literature professor has been teaching others how to weave stories all his life, and the foundation of his own achievements is also based on the lies he weaves. As a person with literary passion, faced with such a wonderful story with multiple reversals, is he? Don't want to write this story down? Needless to say, he certainly would have liked to write it down. But the sad thing is that he didn't have the courage to tell him the most wonderful story reversal point, and without this reversal, this story is so boring, just a poor white boy trying his best to climb to the top, and later being raped by a traitor It's just harm, how common is this kind of story, like a complaint like Xianglin's Wife. This is also the reason why the professor has always been dissatisfied with his autobiography, because he knows the most exciting content but dare not express it. What a sad thing.
But even getting someone to write his story wouldn't solve the problem, because he didn't have the courage to tell others about himself and was lying when he first approached the writer. Maybe the professor had given up on the biography when he was lying and just wanted someone to chat with.
And the year-long love between the professor and Fonia is even more interesting. Everyone thinks that the old professor is just obsessed with Fonia because of sex, but maybe this kind of love is more complicated. This kind of love is actually different from the passion of the professor when he was young. It is a kind of mutual attraction that cannot be expressed or understood. The same lost loved ones, and because of their own reasons, the same can not forgive themselves. They may not be a match in status, but how can this understanding of hidden pain not make people snuggle with each other for warmth. It's like the story of Achilles fighting for a woman taught by the professor at the beginning. The hero you don't understand is just the appearance, you don't understand the deeper underlying story, and the deeper story has been The dead are brought into the grave.
And was Fonia's story really as simple as she told the professor, of course not. Why did Fornia's children die? Her confession to the crow can explain some questions. At that time, she should have wanted to kill herself with the children, but the children died, but she was alive. Fornia was always reluctant to stay overnight with the professor, and the only time she stayed was when she lost her temper in the morning. Did she really just think the professor couldn't understand her pain, as she said? Maybe it's just the same as the professor, because he dare not tell others about his deeper story, and he can't express the pain of his own pain. Want to accept a professor? Fonia should have wanted it. She hoped that someone would share her secrets and pain with him. Otherwise, she would not go to a crow to confess her story, but after telling those unspeakable stories, she was worried that the professor would leave her. This dilemma was the reason for Fonia's temper tantrum that morning. After Fornia returned to the professor’s house, their conversation was very interesting. Forni thought that he understood the pain of the other party. The professor smiled. The word “understanding” was really too difficult. The professor said there is something I want to tell you, Hopefully he's told the truth to Fonia and he's understood, and it's a blessing to have someone who truly understands your darkest side before you die.
Oh, yes, the professor's secret is really deadly. His wife Alice found out and died of a heart attack; Fonia found out, and died in a car accident with him. It's really the rhythm that takes the secret to the grave.
The car accident at the beginning was shot from the perspective of the professor, and the car accident at the end was shot from the perspective of the ex-husband. It can be seen from both shots that the professor stepped on the brakes, but in the end the female prosecutor said that he did not hit the brakes. From the professor's perspective, it can even be seen that the ex-husband's car is directly in front of him.
Fonia's husband is also a very interesting character. He keeps telling the writer that if I have a son, Fonia and him have two daughters, and the reason he keeps asking for trouble with his ex-wife is that she killed her. My own daughter, in fact, my ex-husband doesn't care about her daughter at all.
Going back to the beginning of the story, does the professor discriminate against black people? Perhaps there is hatred, hatred of being as good as yourself but having a black birth. When the professor was dumped by his first girlfriend, he had decided to give up his black identity for his future. After being dumped into a boxing match, he beat a black man, and when the coach accused him, the last word he used in response was nigger.
In this movie, almost everyone is dishonest, including the author, but this is life, these people are real people, and the stories hidden behind them are real life, and these stories are similar to those written by novelists. More than wonderful is no less than those novels.
Are professors responsible for the mistakes of their lives? Maybe not, but as Fonia's ex-husband said, in ice fishing, as long as you drill a hole and cast the bait, even if the water is dark, fish will come in droves. Isn’t it the same for people? As long as we can live, we can live better, and that glimmer of hope is like a bait for a fish, which keeps us moving forward. However, you are just a person who is bound by various rules, like a fish vying for bait under the ice cave, unable to be God to rule your own life, how sad it is, but this is the essence of life.
Human Stain, the translation of human taint is actually not accurate at all. I think the translation of "human nature" is more accurate. The story isn't about human blemishes, it's about colors that we can't control, like the color of black people. The lie of the professor is the most selfish side of human nature, but even I can't accept these things that exist in the first place. This story is actually about the incomprehension and various misunderstandings between people, and the hidden side of human nature is the reason why we can't understand each other
