"The most unforgettable thing is not the momentary excitement and selfless rhetoric, but the calm and often-recited sentences; the most impressive thing is not the gorgeous and extravagant pictures, but the faint description and the painful baptism. The thinking of the upper eye." The film is directed by Lesse Holstrom. It tells how an orphan Homer, who was abandoned by his mother, grew up under the education of Larch, who raised him, how he faced this unknown colorful world.
The closely integrated sound and picture set the emotional tone of the film. The director's control over the plot of the film, the emotional control of the characters is just right, and in some subtle plots, he can always just show the inner delicacy of the characters. From the beginning of the film, the soundtrack was quiet and soothing. The director arranged a ten-second long shot here to portray the environment of Sheng'an Road Hospital. At the saint cloud station where the train was unwilling to stop, heavy snow was flying. The solid-color lens usually leads to a cold or bloody transition, but when the angle of view is aimed at this shabby but warm big house, coupled with the melodious background music, a warmth hits, and there is a hidden place in this icy and snowy world. An orphanage that accommodates pregnant women who have abortions and abandoned babies. The colors of the movie are very strong and vivid, the St. An Road in the ice and snow is calm; the Apple Manor in the sun is surrounded by green, warm and warm. Gorgeous photography shows the pure beauty of nature, but also pave the way for the story of authentic characteristics, without any whitewashing.
The intriguing lines give the story a narrative. "Goodnight, you princes of Maine, you kings of New England." Every night on St. An’s Road, Larch will say this to every orphan. There is a strong paternal love behind this sentence and the kindness in Larch’s eyes, shelter With Homer and other orphans. His dedication to Homer and his care for Homer after parting. This special paternal love also has a profound impact on Homer. At the end of Larch's death, HomerI returned to St. Ann Road, read bedtime stories for the orphans as usual, and finally smiled and said goodnight to them. Everyone smiled simultaneously. Everyone is a precious existence and has the right to be loved and free, just like the orphans of St. Ann's Road. They are not an abandoned redundant existence here, but the prince of Maine and New England. king.
The title of the film that triggers thought, and the sublimation of the theme of the film. The original English name of the movie is "The Cider House Rules", and what is the connotation of "Rules"? In fact, this rule reflects the problems of various laws in society at that time. In addition to the love and affection between people, there is a right The reflection of black American issues and the criticism of American ethics. Each character in the movie has its own rules, and some people follow the rules but break them, running counter to them. For example, because Homer abandoned his yard and brought him to the Apple Orchard manor’s fiancée Candy, he fell in love and had an affair. It was not until he found out that Arthur, a black helper who had been caring for him and responsible for the work of the Apple Orchard, had an incest with his daughter Rose. "Responsibility" is not the reason why these mothers have no choice but to abandon their children, and finally perform abortions for Rose. There is also Candy, the fiancée of the son of the owner of Apple Manor. She has a good relationship with her fiance Ben, but after her fiance went to the front line, she was attracted by the innocent Homer. After the first close contact between her and Homer, she panicked and defended herself. I am not good at being alone. But when her fiance returned from the battle, she still chose her fiance to take care of him and the rest of her life. Homer, who had seen everything, chose to put it aside and returned to St. Ann Road, taking over the position of Larch who died of ether overdose poisoning, caring for orphans and continuing to help women perform abortions.
"People will always leave to find dreams, but the place where they will find their dreams in the future is always their hometown." Compared to Homer, he returned faster and realized earlier. The warmth of the movie. In the unpredictable life, maybe everyone will be exhausted after trekking through the mountains and rivers. It is better to simply return to their own little world and raise their heads, always scorching the sun.
