The film uses exquisite composition and sophisticated shooting techniques to create a touch of loneliness and a warm sense of belonging, bringing the audience a kind of peace of mind and inner stability. The lens in the film uses a long lens, which creates a more intimate and warm aesthetic sense of the picture, which is also a kind of extension of emotion, so that the audience can clearly experience the director's expressive intention and the protagonist's feelings in the long lens.  
The film neither structured the film around a core conflict in accordance with the traditional Hollywood principle of "conflict law"; nor did it structure the film into a "stream of consciousness" style in accordance with the "innerization" tendency of modern European theater; The dot-style life flow method expresses the specific time flow, and uses dramatic events to present local conflicts, forming a European-style Hollywood film.

The Cider House Rules quotes

  • [first lines]

    [Opening narration; a couple of snippets of interspersed dialog are omitted]

    Dr. Wilbur Larch: In other parts of the world young men leave home and travel far and wide in search of a promising future. Their journeys are often fueled by dreams of triumphing over evil, finding a great love, or the hopes of fortunes easily made. Here in St. Cloud's not even the decision to get off the train is easily made, for it requires an earlier, more difficult decision - add a child to your life, or leave one behind. The only reason people journey here is for the orphanage.

    Dr. Wilbur Larch: I came as a physician to the abandoned children and unhappily pregnant women. I had hoped to become a hero. But in St. Cloud's there was no such position. In the lonely, sordid world of lost children, there were no heroes to be found. And so I became the caretaker of many, father of none. Well, in a way, there was one. His name was Homer Wells.

  • Buster: [digging grave of botched abortion victim] What did she die of?

    Dr. Wilbur Larch: She died of secrecy. She died of... ignorance. Homer, did you expect to be responsible for their children, you have to give them the right to decide whether or not to have children. Wouldn't you agree?

    Homer: I'm not excepting people to be responsible enough to control themselves to begin with.
