[Episode 1]
When Little Meggie and the priest met for the first time, the use of camera language has already fully expressed the fetters of the two on the road to the future. The story of a man and a little girl, a "Lolita", a Plato such as "Thorn Bird" in the first episode.

[Episode 2]
Little Meggie grows up, and old Mary dies.
Cruel Mary wins a bet with Father Ralph for a large sum of money. The religious beliefs that Ralph talked about, and the fiery love hidden in his heart, for Mary, they were nothing but a means for her to control this beautiful man.
"What Satan did to God, did he really hate God, or did he really love God?" Mary asked aggressively. For Ralph, it was cruel and true.
When she grew up, little Meggie was shocked by the beauty of heaven and man, just like Christine in "The Phantom of the Opera"; and old Mary, the phantom who was also the father and the ghost in "The Phantom of the Opera", haunted Ralph all the time. mind.

[Episode 3]
A fire in "Days of Heaven" ignited the flames of their love, but failed to set off a prairie fire.

[Episode 4]
Standing on the standpoint of the supremacy of love, Ralph's characteristics as a rotten person are highlighted: his conservativeness, prudence and professional wisdom only make him closer to the goal of bishop he aspires to. At the same time, Meggie also began to make concessions to the world, throwing herself into the arms of a man she did not dislike.
Poor Claure, he knew about Meggie's past with the priest, and was confident that it could bring Meggie's heart back. But obviously, he despised a woman's love for her beloved's moth-like despair and destruction. Meggie was about to lose this sincerity.
Love that does not care about ethics and morals has an eternal and great charm that is close to the soul in works of art; but in the world, such love that destroys the three views will only be difficult. In real life, freedom and responsibility are always two ends of the same scale: you can only enjoy the dignity of love if you put in the effort to protect love.
