Lofty aspirations

The film "Loss of Aspirations" is about Yang Xi taking his wife and children to Osage, a place where Indians were discriminated against during the development of the American West. He wants to live again here. He sympathizes with the Indians and hopes that he can Do something for them, safeguard their interests and fight for their due rights. There are bullies in this place, they bully and discriminate against Indians and Jews, and laugh at Yang Xi and his wife who just arrived. Yang Xi got rid of the bullies and the robbers, fighting for this place to become a state, and seeking rights for the Indians. However, he has a wild and unruly nature. He always leaves for a few years and then comes back, leaving his wife and children behind with the newspaper. He abandons his family and his career to pursue freedom and pursue a different life.
I feel that life is wonderful. People who first came to this place didn't stop, they were always wandering around. Even if there is his family, his career and achievements, and the honor and respect he enjoys, he cannot be left behind. In the end, life dies in this piece of land where I have struggled hard. No one would have thought that he would bid farewell in this way. The days he disappeared in the past are about to be forgotten.
But the people who disliked this place the most at first slowly fell in love with this place, found their own sense of existence in participating in various activities, gained success, nostalgic and did not want to leave, and did not want to let the years of hard work put down and come back and support it alone. Start the family and newspaper office. People who have discriminated against Indians and dissatisfied with their son marrying Indians can finally accept and become a family. Become a Federal Member.
Just like Yang Xi said, "No, it will always be a long time."
There is also a line in "Forrest Gump",
"Life is like a box of chocolates, and the results are often unexpected." The
future is so long, how will life change? , No one knows.

This person Yang Xi made me love and hate.
What I love is all the good qualities in him.
His gentleman, when the bully shot off his hat, he took advantage of the other side's inadvertent attack, and his wife rushed up angrily. He told his wife that they were friendly. They just don't know where to fight.
His righteousness and courage, full of sense of justice, the beginning of the article galloping horses to fight for the land, fight against bullies, and protect the discriminated Indians and Jews.
Perseverance to the truth of newspaper business news, we must find out the truth of the death and find out the real culprit.
He was kind to the people at the bottom and got along well with everyone. He didn’t put on the air of superiority to the nobles and bosses. He said in his sermon, “No matter how sad and dirty it is, as long as there is God in it. His voice is his hall." He took everyone to sing together. This scene is very touched by me. The music brings the distance between each other and everyone sings together. Even his wife, Safra, who doesn’t know how to sing, echoes. The singing son Simon also followed.
To stand up for Li to fight for her survival, to act for a poor woman in court also changed his wife's opinion. Isn't it better to give a woman a chance to leave here and start a new life than to put her in jail? He said ""Everyone has the right to fight for survival.
To fight for the rights of the Indian people, he wants the Indians to have citizenship, they can have the right to vote, they can be respected by the people, but they are opposed by their wife. She said that if you do this, everyone will laugh at you, and she will not forgive. he. And he said, "You won't. It will always be a long time. Maybe you won't when I was alive. But one day in the future, when you read the old newspaper, you will be happy to see this article."
Sure enough, at his insistence, he published an article speaking for the Indians and got an international response, and he also worked for them with his efforts. After 22 years, his wife published the article of that year again, which caused a great influence again.
He is uninhibited, pursues freedom, and loves adventure. He hates staying in the same place for a long time. This is what I like. I like Sanmao and her casual freedom. Yang Xi was about to leave home for almost five years, and he never came back. Many people don’t understand why he can leave his wife and children and walk alone on the wandering road. Indeed, he is irresponsible in this regard. As a husband, father and boss, he has not fulfilled his obligations and responsibilities. For children, father’s love is missing here. . So the little daughter did not show much emotion after her father came back, because he did not participate in her growth.
Can’t help but wonder, is it a contradiction between pursuing freedom and assuming responsibility? We often say that we want to be free, but where there is real freedom, there will be no real freedom if there is concern. If there is no freedom of concern, the heart will not be free. Our freedom is tied up a lot, parents, family, study and work. I once read a sentence, "Your temporary relief is because someone has undertaken for you what you should bear."

And his wife also made me admire and regret.
At first, she didn't like this place, and slowly fell in love with this place. This place gave her a sense of accomplishment. Her speech was praised, and her talent was demonstrated and recognized. She is unwilling to leave, unwilling to give up a stable and successful life. She discriminated against Indians, but finally accepted her daughter-in-law. She initially opposed speaking for the Indians, and eventually became a parliamentarian and participated in politics.
I also love her beautiful qualities.
She is strong and independent, supporting her family, taking care of children, supporting newspapers, publishing and editing by herself. I feel sorry for her, her son and daughter are not obedient, maybe the role of the father is indispensable when the child is growing up, and it has a great influence.
Her talent and ability can be praised by everyone, organizing activities, writing essays and poems, managing a newspaper office, and participating in women's club activities, indicating that she has a certain ability.
What I admire most is her decentness. In the last speech, she didn't say anything about her husband, nor how hard she was, but quietly explained that he was away. Even his daughter also thanked her mother for not mentioning her father. When she heard this and hugged her daughter, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. In fact, there was no need to say it. She was used to it. She was used to believing that he was only traveling, and she was used to silently giving away by herself. Don't argue, don't change the name of your husband's editor-in-chief.
It does not mean that women need to be so forbearing and virtuous, or that they have to pay silently and be the backing of men, just to get the praise and gratitude of the husband's "wife and mother, perfect woman". At this time, the status of women in the United States has gradually improved, and they are more respected by people. And her choice may be her own love and tolerance for her family and her husband. The environment also determines her choice, and she is too kind. Perhaps it is because her heart is strong enough that she has her own career and her own achievements. This is also the growth of women, no longer dependent on the family and husband.

The film looks great in general, with a grand opening and a large time span. The historical background in it is worthy of understanding and research. The ending was a little hurried. They hadn't seen each other for many years. She didn't know everything that happened during his journey, which was new and exciting, and he didn't know how many things she did or what changed. But perhaps, this ending is also very good.

    On the one hand, this film vividly demonstrates the American values ​​of the world: what you grab is yours, and what you win is freedom and democracy; on the other hand, it also sees the greatness of women facing everything independently. The ending is very touching.
