The race between love and death when the plague is raging

In the days of staying at home, I re-watched "The Hussars on the Roof". I watched this movie on the movie channel. At that time, I was shocked by the cholera scene in the movie. The Black Death ravaged the Middle Ages. The color changed, and there were gray-faced, stiff corpses everywhere. They were pulled away by carts and burned. The houses in the villages were full of dead people. The dark crows in the sky covered the sky. This also made me the first. I know for the first time that behind the prosperity and glory of Europe, it is actually full of darkness, full of diseases and the suffering of war. The history is unbearable, just like the SARS period we once experienced and the pneumonia epidemic we are experiencing now. When I look back again, it is also full of thrills and twists and turns, but the despair and pain experienced by the people in it are heavy.

In a village ravaged by cholera, the girl with a fresh face like a fresh peach fell in love with the handsome and fearless knight who helped the doctor treat cholera patients. When parting, the girl had bright eyes and a lace head. hat, and the blond doll in a pink dress gave the young knight a book and told him that there was a moving line in the book, which was the love the girl wanted to tell the knight.

Shocked at the time, it was touching and sad to see a girl's desperate desire to seize love when she could die of deadly cholera at any moment.

On one side, cholera was raging, and on the other side, the girl fell in love with a person, left a token of love and ran away.

This scene makes me look forward to where their story will go?

As a result, the knights were hunted down as poisoners by angry residents who believed that someone, not cholera, had caused the disaster and death.

The desperate knight ran up to the roof, like a cat being chased, and ran up the roof. Encountered with a cat after passing out on the roof.

The cats in the movie are very clingy, fulfilling the dreams of girls, and cuddling with handsome knights. The hussars on the roof became cats on the roof.

I always feel confused about the introduction of the characters in the film. The beginning of the film is the back of a woman watching fireworks on the balcony. I thought it was the heroine of the film, but she became a cutscene after a while, and the male protagonist appeared immediately. Attracted the attention of a girl, I thought their story was about to begin, but the girl was just a cutscene, and was quickly skipped and died, so that when the heroine with the candle appeared, I was still worried What happened to the girl in front? The speed of meeting and parting in this film is as fast as the frequency of cholera in the film. It feels like death is racing against love. The lingering crow chases the hero and heroine, and they warm each other's lives with love under the shroud of death.

Originally thought that the knight would develop a romantic love story with the doll with bright eyes, but the knight met the cat and the heroine like a quick glance, which made people feel that the change was too fast.

But the knight, to the blond girl, to the cat, to the friend who betrayed him, to everyone he met, showed the character of the self-introduction he said to others, "I am a A gentleman", his young blood is eager for honor and full of self-esteem, he wrote to his mother, and in his childishness has a strong desire for honor, loyalty, and chivalry. He considers himself a gentleman and does everything he thinks a gentleman should do.

European gentleman and chivalry reminds me of what we call chivalrous in China. A scholar must have morality, a chivalrous person must have loyalty, and the title of a man is mostly based on a person's character and integrity. Benevolence and righteousness are actually the hope for a person, especially a man's personality, in ancient and modern China and abroad. , with benevolence and righteousness, ideals and aspirations, is an ideal.

When the injured male protagonist Angelo hugged the cat and looked at the frantic crowd, he couldn't help but wonder about human nature, "I don't know if it makes sense for you to be close to humans? When people are afraid, you have to be careful!"

Yes, fear destroys reason and makes people look like madmen, the male protagonist is almost killed by angry irrational people, because they are afraid in their hearts, the fear of cholera and death has turned into a nameless anger They think the culprits vent, irrational people are terrible.

The male protagonist met the female protagonist when he was a little hungry and cold. The female protagonist was elegant and calm, and her gentle and friendly attitude appeased Angelo who was in a panic. Similarly, Angelo's gentlemanly demeanor also attracted the female protagonist. When people become overwhelmed with fear and become mad, a rational and polite man can't help but make people feel good.

I like the encounter between the hero and heroine. If life is just like the first time, the panic and beauty of that moment are worth recalling. The light cavalry with a bit of Oedipus complex sees the calm and mature lady in front of him, and he must feel a little bit attached to his mother. And those who yearn for the gentleness of women, they all appeared when each other needed spiritual comfort. The female main body burned hot tea and bread for the male protagonist, soothed his hungry stomach, and brought him a long time ago. Heart hurt from being nearly killed.

The light cavalry decided to send the heroine to where she was going because he was grateful to the heroine for his "drop of water, which will be reciprocated by the spring" for his meal when he was in distress, or because he already fell in love with her and wanted to be with her. Accompany, protect her?

The light cavalry's sense of honor gave him a high degree of self-esteem. He was righteous to everyone he met, even strangers he met, and friends who betrayed him. He was able to hold warm and selfless help. , the betrayed friend had cholera and told him before he died that "they caught my father", explaining and repenting for his actions.

The picture of the heroine and the hero galloping together between the rolling hills and the vibrant green plains and hills is really beautiful. The movie allows the hero and heroine to meet each other in a chaotic disease, and makes them fall in love. It is like a poem The picturesque scene, although disease and death go hand in hand, still cannot stop people from loving and pursuing a better life.

When the male protagonist was separated from the female protagonist, he went to the girl who gave him the book. All the living people in the house had been moved. The girl and other children infected with cholera died in the house. The young light cavalry had just met. It's heartbreaking that the love that I have come to be taken away by the god of death like this. Life is fragile. Diseases, wars, and disasters can take people's lives at any time. Before the light of life goes out, the girl can't wait to grab a love. I am heartbroken by the girl's death.

But the girl was lucky again. After all, she met the person she loved. Although the plague was terrible and took her life, she loved her after all.

The hussars sat depressed in the dead man's house, and their first love died just like that.

The light cavalry insisted on protecting the heroine to find her husband. It was more like a moral act than love. He did what he thought was right, and did not want to put a weak woman in danger and helpless. Of course, he didn't want to admit that he admired her in his heart, and wanted to accompany her through this difficult journey. This is similar to a classic opera in ancient my country, Zhao Gaozu sent Jing Niang thousands of miles away.

The heroine had fallen in love with the young hussars, but the hussars preferred to be rational. This kind of gentleman's demeanor with ruthlessness and politeness is now rare, and his heart still wants to make achievements, a traditional ideal of knighthood.

When he almost lost his heroine, the young light cavalry used the method he tried but failed several times to wipe his body with alcohol, trying to save the heroine. This was to save the heroine's life, but not to for lust.

The young hussars finally rescued the mistress and sent her to her husband's castle.

The young light cavalry left, but took away the heroine's heart. When he helped the helpless her without hesitation, the relationship between them had surpassed life and death. In the terrifying atmosphere with a stone face, the love of the two makes the world under the shroud of death a better place.

I recalled the love when the plague was raging, the most beautiful love that sprouted in the most desperate times. Love is the reason for people to live. In the dark, faith and love are the light that guides people out of the dark.

After watching the movie, I thought, in today's society, when money and interests are above everything else, do the words gentlemanly, chivalrous, chivalrous, and moral still exist? I think it still exists and is necessary. It is of course important to protect yourself and your family during disasters, but what is more important is not to lose the principles of being a human being in the face of disasters, just as the actor Angelo said in his letter to his mother , "I want you to be proud of me".

In a society, egoism and altruism are often regarded as contradictory. The ideal of the hussar in the film is to pursue freedom and Italian independence. The person who is truly proud is his life goal, so altruism is the perfection of his own personality, and the ultimate result of altruism is self-interest, which is beneficial to others and himself. It shows that self-interest is inevitable. Only through altruism can everyone achieve self-interest, give generously, and help others. Only then can there be love and hope in this world.
