The film begins with his choice of career, going to an isolated island to watch the lighthouse alone. Why did you choose this? In his love letter to the hostess, there was a sentence "I was enveloped by the breath of death for too long, and gradually became numb. This is the reason why I came here." It was because after the war, I saw through the world and went as a monk with us. Kongmen is almost the same, there is no doubt that he has experienced too much pain, he has no enthusiasm for this world, and does not want to have anything to do with the world anymore.
In this case, why did he write a love letter to the hostess, saying that the hostess made him feel rejuvenated?
It's just a momentary emotion, like a terminally ill person who suddenly feels the goodness of life at a certain time, but it can't last for a long time. After the emotion, he still faces despair.
The hostess saw the "rejuvenation" written in the love letter, but the first few words are very important. "Here, I will not hurt other people. The only thing I live with is the lighthouse. For a long time, everything I touched is very important. Become lifeless and dying. And you are so angry that I worry that the darkness that haunts me will gradually erode you." Maybe the heroine thinks that she can really revitalize the hero, but she failed. When the male lead went to jail, he assumed all the responsibilities, including when facing the child's biological mother, he confessed to the murder. He didn't do this because he loved the heroine, the reason will be explained later. What will happen if he assumes these responsibilities? This is obviously not the result that a "rejuvenated" person wants. It is a result that a person who often thinks about death and has no interest in life wants.
In this case, why didn't he commit suicide earlier, so that it wouldn't hurt anyone?
Maybe it's lack of courage, maybe it's because the male protagonist believes in religion and can't go to heaven after committing suicide. The cross shows that the male protagonist believes in religion. Some people believe in religion to fight against nothingness, but the male protagonist is not very pious, and he cannot use religion to fight his emptiness.
Is this love?
The female protagonist loves the male protagonist, but this love is not beautiful, beautiful love is mutual. Some people say: "If you love someone, even if the other person doesn't love me, I'm willing to give for the other person." This kind of statement is noble, but it cannot change the facts. The fact is that you are with someone who does not love you, and the other person is with someone. People he doesn't love are together.
The male protagonist does not love the female protagonist, and a life that loses enthusiasm and fun is unlovable, and there will be no deep love. To illustrate, lack of enthusiasm does not mean lack of morality. The male protagonist experienced too much misfortune and reached this state today. He did not intend to hurt others. He mentioned in his love letter that he would not harm others if he came to the isolated island, and he also expressed his concern about getting along with the female protagonist. But he couldn't overcome the weakness of human nature, and in the end he made the wrong decision because of a momentary emotion. The letter he wrote to the hostess after he went to prison stated his thoughts. He was ready to face death and thanked the hostess for his love. He also wanted to do his best to repay him, but the return was far from enough. In fact, he no longer has the ability to truly love. After discovering the child, he chose to leave the child behind for the hostess and gave up reporting the accident; after discovering that the child had a biological mother, he chose to disclose the news and then return the child, giving up the feelings between the hostess and the child; when faced with the child’s biological mother, he chose Admit the murder, hope not to hold the heroine accountable, and give up her life. This is just that he does what he thinks is right according to his own values, not because he loves the heroine deeply.
Is this a good movie?
This story has the original, not written by the director, and I have never read the original, but I feel that the life that the story is about is not the focus of the director's expression. In fact, I only want to give it a one-star rating. When the director was shooting, he wanted to be too sensational, reading letters, voice-overs, all kinds of music, all kinds of crying. Between two mothers and children, between the male lead and the female lead, between the biological mother and the dead husband. The director failed. He did not fully express the emptiness and pain of the hero, nor did he fully express the heroine's sadness and helplessness. He even incited many people to think that the hero loves the heroine very much. . . . . .
If you think that the male lead loves the female lead very much, would you find someone like the male lead to get married?
