The "nature" and "reason" of love

I have heard this sentence a long time ago - it is nature to love children, and it is rational to love parents. If you think about it, there is some truth to it, as the film explains.
I heard about this movie when I was a child, but I didn't watch it until now, and suddenly realized that it was too late. This movie, only a teenager can watch it without pain, and since then, fear will occupy the hearts of all viewers, permeating most of the viewing time.
Probably every young and middle-aged person has experienced some fear of death, but it is not the same as the fear of the elderly. They experience the aging of the body day after day, but they can't help but do with their younger self and the young people around them. Compare. If it is possible to escape some of the life dangers experienced when you were young, then the god of death, who is not far from yourself, will never let go this time. He will take you away like other old people, just like taking away Take yourself away like your predecessors did.
Fortunately, Norman has his beloved wife, Ethel, for company, which helps him to lower his fears a little from time to time. This is the advantage of a partner. When you realize that you are gradually being abandoned by the world, there is still such a person who cares about you. When you don’t return at night, you can find you everywhere with a flashlight. When you see you fall into the water, go there without hesitation save you. Where does this love come from? From nature or reason? Is it really a long-term relationship?
Daughter Chelsea and her father have been together for a long time, but why did they give birth to hatred? It is probably that both parties have decided from the beginning that the other party should love themselves, but they are always in two very different positions. Compared with husband and wife, it is more difficult for father and daughter to look at things from the perspective of each other, and the next generation is inadvertently. They have inherited a certain character from their parents, and the force of exclusion has intensified this contradiction and made it indistinguishable.
However, we still hear Norman calling Chelsea's name inadvertently. This is probably because he forgot his instinct to cover up his "natural love" in his waning years; and Chelsea couldn't wait to win his favor after receiving Norman's blessing. Certainly, this may be because something has finally been placed on the other end of the balance that has never been equal in her heart. Even if it is still difficult to equal, this is enough to make her "rational love" explode.
It is very gratifying that everything is still in time, and the love of nature and reason has finally let everyone relax.

    Catherine Hepburn and Henry Fonda explained to people what it means to act with life. The eighty-year-old Hepburn is as energetic as when he was twenty. No wonder AFI would recommend her as No.1. Tribute to Catherine Hepburn.

    #filmarchive# Film lighting class: interior and exterior. Take care to determine the interrelationships of other important scenes that can be seen through doors and windows. For example, far distance, left and right directions, etc. Pay attention to the use of props to enrich the environmental effects outside the doors and windows and increase the picture information.

On Golden Pond quotes

  • Ethel: You know, Norman, you really are the sweetest man in the world, but I'm the only one who knows it.

  • Bill Ray: [as he heads out to the lake to go skinny-dipping with Ethel and Chelsea] Are there any bears around here?

    Norman: Oh, sure. Black bears and grizzlies. One of 'em came along here last month and ate an old lesbian.
