What I saw in the movie "Wuthering Heights"--Life must learn to let go

Wuthering Heights is a tragic story, the tragic origin of a boy's inner hatred.

Wuthering Heights was originally a warm place, where the family laughed and lived a peaceful and prosperous life. But with the boy his father brought back, life here began to slowly change.

Heathcliff, the abandoned, statusless, escorted boy who longed for a home. Casey likes him, his father dotes on him, the housekeeper treats him well, only his elder brother is a little jealous of him and always makes things difficult for him.

Heathcliff has received the care that a family deserves during the years his father has been in charge of the family, and he can grow into an excellent boy in every way. But why did he end up being the stable boy of Wuthering Heights?

Heathcliff's inner peace is destroyed, he has a very strong destructive power in himself, his feelings are strong and single, which is hatred/revenge. He never let go of the misfortunes that happened to him, and he was not grateful for the luck that happened to him. Is he in love with Kathy? Not in my opinion, he's just enjoying Kathy's love for him, irresponsible possession. He didn't do anything for Casey that a true lover would do, he couldn't give Casey a stable life, he couldn't accept Casey's expectations, he couldn't defend their relationship, and he couldn't be a harbor for Casey's life. On the contrary, he fell again and again, and Casey was disappointed with him again and again, but Casey still loved him. In the end, Casey's abandonment of him drove him far, and made him rich.

Why can't love make him change for the better, but hate can make him behave beyond ordinary people?

Because of hatred, I bought Wuthering Heights and tortured my brother in every way; because of hate, when I married Edgar's sister, I also tortured her in every way; originally Kathy lived a peaceful and happy life, but because of revenge on Kathy, Kathy was destroyed. West's happiness, even took her life, even before dying, Kathy wanted a little bit of his comfort, he also because of past anger, slander, Kathy left in his curse.

He seems to be torturing everyone around him, what does he want to get? Is it fair treatment for the world? An independent and complete self? peaceful life? Maybe he doesn't know it himself.

In the process of growing up in Wuthering Heights, he got more luck than misfortune. If he learns to let go and see more smiles and warmth, perhaps his life will be much better.

    The 39th version of "Wuthering Heights" should be the earliest version, and it is also the most classic version. The film has a gloomy atmosphere and dark tones, which fully shows the expressive ability of film art, making it one of the great classic works on the screen of the 20th century, and won the Best Cinematography Award in the 12th Academy Awards. The original party may have some opinions on the adaptation of the film, but it is not bad to be able to make it like this due to the limited space.

Wuthering Heights quotes

  • Heathcliff: Tell the dirty stable boy to let go of you. He soiled your pretty dress. But who soiled your heart? Not Heathcliff. Who turns you into a vain, cheap, worldly fool? Linton does. You'll never love him, but you'll let yourself be loved because it pleases your stupid, greedy vanity.

  • Cathy: He seems to take pleasure in being mean and brutal. And yet, he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. And Linton's is as different as frost from fire... Ellen, I AM Heathcliff.

    [thunderbolt]

    Cathy: Everything he's suffered, I've suffered. The little happiness he's ever known, I've had too. Oh, Ellen, if everything in the world died and Heathcliff remained, life would still be full for me.
