Cider House Rules:
There is a dormitory rule posted in the Cider House dormitory, which stipulates that smoking in bed is not allowed, and machines are not allowed to operate after drinking after ten o’clock. You cannot eat on the roof, sleep on the roof, or go on the roof. The rules are a bit funny. It’s ridiculous. Arthur, the black foreman, said that the people who make the rules do not live in the dormitory and do not follow them. This kind of rules is not worth following. "the rules ain't for us. We are supposed to make our own rules. And we do. Every single day. "Homer silently tore off this yellowing rule and threw it into the blazing fire.

Arthur’s rule:
Arthur who is responsible for his work is stubborn and uncomfortable with workers throwing cigarette butts into apple juice, and fights with him, but he has incestuous with his daughter Rose and causes her to become pregnant. After the abortion, Rose eventually stabbed Arthur and escaped. Before he died, he asked Homer to tell the police that he committed suicide. He died peacefully. His last words "Sometimes, you gotta break some rules, to put things straight. I'm just trying to put things straight."

Homer's rules:
Homer is an abandoned orphan. The head gynecologist Larch of the orphanage raised him and taught him to be a gynecologist. However, Homer has always resisted performing abortions for women. He does not understand why adults are so unbearable. Responsibility creates life and kills it. It wasn't until he couldn't control that he fell in love with Candy, the owner's fiancée, who took him from the orphanage to the Apple Orchard, until he discovered that Arthur, who had been caring for him, had incest with his daughter. He didn't know that "irresponsibility" was not that. The only interpretation of behavior, It's difficult to say why these things happened. He finally changed his rules and helped Rose perform an abortion.

Candy's rules:
Candy and her fiancé went to an orphanage for an abortion, and brought Homer, who wanted to come out and see the outside world. The fiancé volunteered to go to the front line to fight and left her at home. She brought her ignorant of the outside world. Homer went to see the sea, went to eat lobsters, went to the car theater, and told him that people don't watch movies in the car theater. After having sex with Homer for the first time, she panicked to find a reason for herself, complaining why her fiance had left her "He knew I am not good at being alone", she also said to Homer "This is right, We are" right. "
When she learned that her fiance had come back from the front line with paraplegia, she chose the fiance between homer and fiance without hesitation. Homer returned to the orphanage and took over from the dean who died of ether overdose to take care of the orphans and perform abortions for the women.

The characters in the movie have their own rules. They follow their own rules, or break their own rules and bear the consequences. Back to real life, there are also various rules. How many rules do we agree with from the heart? Regarding the so-called rules, should we first have our own value judgments instead of blindly submitting; secondly, should we not apply our own rules to restrain others, especially lovers and adult children; again, even if they disagree, should we respect others to follow or follow? The right to violate his own rules.

Lian Yue wrote in his latest Weibo: "The boundary of freedom is not to infringe on the interests of others, and to bear the consequences if you infringe. For sex industry, gambling and marijuana, adults are eligible to choose whether to use or not, even if it is harmful to themselves. A lifestyle that doesn’t hinder others is also a person’s right, just like watching football all night and indulging in Weibo to harm the body.” If you

get rid of those tedious and heavy rules, can you look forward to the light happiness after breaking through the cocoon and becoming a butterfly? ?
