The storyline of the film is clear: Louis, a handsome and wealthy man, ordered a bride from the United States by mail. The bride is beautiful and sexy, and Louis has fallen in love ever since. But he didn't expect the bride to be a liar. Soon after the wedding, he defrauded almost all of Louis's money and disappeared. Louis was devastated. Sitting alone in an empty room, he was thinking "I want her back." After many twists and turns, Louis finally found her—the wife who claimed to be Bonnie. The anger of being betrayed and the hatred of being deceived disappeared in front of Bonnie. He embraced her again and even charged her with murder. , Do not hesitate to bankrupt the family. Unexpectedly, all this is just another scam. When he followed Bonnie to the brothel, what he heard was that Bonnie was conspiring with her partner Billy to poison herself. Staggering back to the residence in the dark, Louis was waiting for Bonnie and her poison. Louis told Bonnie that he knew everything, but to prove his love, Louis still drank the poison. Bonnie regretted it very much. She took Louis to escape Billy's pursuit, and even to protect Louis, she took the gun in Louis's hand and shot Billy to death in front of the patrolman. Bonnie was sentenced to death and accepted a dying confession to the priest, but miraculously escaped from prison. At the end of the film, Louis and Bonnie cheated in partnership while playing cards with their friends. Bonnie looked at the camera seductively, sliding her hand on her neck.
The low and slightly cheerful Cuban-style snare drum rhythm in the film adds an intoxicating and obsessive mood to the whole film. The blend of sexiness, desire, temptation, sin and love makes it impossible to give a simple right or wrong. judge. At the beginning of the film, a plain face, calm eyes: "You can't walk away from love". It is destined to be a film about love. At the beginning, a man had no idea about what love is. Marrying a wife is like buying goods, just to let her have a child for herself—just like everyone else. Get married at nine, and you can go back to work at ten without delay. At the pier, facing the dazzling sun, unable to see the bride's face, but a whispered "Is that you, Mr. Louis?" was enough to disturb the peace of mind. Low-back music, obsessive eyes, sexy and slightly mysterious temptations of women, what can be more confusing than this? The first encounter is a doomed love. One loves helplessness and crimes, and the other loves unreservedly. Reputation, wealth, and even life can be discarded. But the woman said: "It's not a love story. But it's a story about love."
Indeed, this is not a love story, but a story about love. When I watched "Original Sin" for the second time, I suddenly understood that the film actually tells the story of love and desire, salvation and original sin. The ancestors of mankind, Adam and Eve, under the temptation of Satan, violated God's will and ate the fruits of the tree of life. Since then, human beings have been guilty of being born. And this sin is caused by desire, and almost all human sins are also related to improper desires. Desire is the beginning of sin. Love is also a sin, because human love comes from desire. Desire is possession and constant possession. Human love also includes possession. Once it is unable to possess, it will produce hatred. However, love is also a way for God to give mankind redemption and self-redemption. When love surpasses desire and is close to God's love, it becomes a constant giving without paying back. Therefore, love and desire are like angels and demons with their backs facing each other. The human heart sways between love and desire, and people alternate between the roles of angel and devil. There is a line in "Original Sin": "Love is to keep giving, and desire is to keep asking." The film is full of desire. Bonnie and Billy killed the real bride while they were on the boat for a marriage scam. Billy was so greedy that he intimidated Bonnie to continue to deceive Louis, when he stuck Bonnie’s neck fiercely. When you say "you are mine", the fire of desire burns in your eyes, in order to obtain, to possess, even if it is a crime! And Louis? Louis loved, and he paid, but when he learned that he was betrayed and deceived, he was still angry, "I will think of her on sleepless nights. She may never know how much I love her, so she too I don't know how much I hated her when she left me." He picked up the gun and looked for Bonnie everywhere, and found Bonnie, but fell deeper in love. For love, he was charged with murder; for love, he cheated with her to win money and was beaten violently; for love, he gave up his wealth and reputation and ran with her. When he was desperate and even sinned in the name of love, he fell into the valley of sin. The desire to love is the source of sin.
If Louis’ love only stayed with Bonnie, that is to say, when he discovered Bonnie and Billy’s conspiracy, instead of drinking the poison, but exposing them, even avenging them, then what is said here is nothing but A story of love and crime. However, at the beginning of the story, the heroine said: "It's not a love story. But it's a story about love." So, Louis holding the poisonous coffee, slowly, quietly, and sadly said to Bonnie "I love you, no matter you are good or bad, who you are, I just love you", then, drink the poison you know. At this moment, Louis's love has surpassed the love in the ordinary sense. It has no desire. It has only simple giving, complete and regretless giving. Only in this sense can love be closer to the love of God. It is this kind of love that makes Bonnie turn her back and kill Billy, who is full of greed and evil. It is this kind of love that makes her Miraculously escaped from the death row after confessing to the priest on his deathbed; it was this kind of love that made Louis escape from the dead and finally got a perfect ending. This is love's redemption for Bonnie, and love's self-redemption for Louis in a realistic sense.
So, this is a story about love. Original sin is the origin of human love and desire. Love is both sinful desire and God's way of salvation for mankind. There is also a line in the film: "Love is reserved only for those who believe in it." Then, the love of God is also the same, it is reserved only for those who believe in it, and only those who believe in it can get the real Salvation.
Attachment: Original sin-the term (Original sin) comes from the legend of Christianity. It refers to the "crime" that human beings are born with and cannot be washed away. The Bible says that man has two kinds of sins-original sin and original sin. Original sin is the sinful nature and evil roots left over from the sins of the ancestors. This sin is the sin committed by each person in this life.
"Original Sin" (Original Sin) is one of the important theological propositions of Christianity, and it is also one of the important doctrines of Christianity. Christianity believes that Adam and Eve stolen the "forbidden fruit" and violated God's will and "owed the glory of God". This sin was passed on to future generations and became the root of all human sins, disasters, pain, and death. A person is born a "sinner" before God. Even a baby who has just been born and died, although he has not committed any crime, he is still a sinner because of the original sin he was born with.
