Burning life

I decided to watch "Legends of the fall" because I saw it won the Oscar for Best Photography. The recent life is dull, ambiguous, and not passionate about movies. Maybe the splendid scenery can slightly stimulate my exhausted nerves.

But unexpectedly, when he saw the old colonel holding Alfred in his arms, his eye sockets were inexplicably moistened. Is it because of understanding Long live? I have no idea. But this stubborn old man with white hair makes me like it very much, even surpassing Tristan. Tristan is such a person, he is rebellious, radiant, and always at the center of the crowd. This kind of person gets more love than others when he is born, and the people around him are either desperate for him, or hide far away where his light can't reach. And his mission is to burn himself until death, even if it burns the people around him. In fact, it is difficult to say what life is, because life is a completely different experience for everyone. When Samuel died, what did he think of, Susannah? Tristan? Or was it the soldier with leg injuries he replaced? I can't imagine. I just think that the lives of Samuel and Tristan are completely different processes. But they were entangled again, because Samuel, Tristan and Susannah were together and finally separated. Is Tristan happier than Samuel, I don't know. Seeing Tristan sobbing uncontrollably in front of Samuel's grave, maybe he would never be able to forget how Samuel was shaking in his arms. Life is fairer to two people...

Alfred must be very depressed. As the eldest brother, he cannot get the respect of his two younger brothers, as a son, he cannot get the love of his father, and as a husband, he cannot get the sincerity of his wife. Alfred is actually talented, but he and his father and brother are not in the same world. Mistakes may be the true colors of life.

Susannah is actually very much like Rebeca in "A Hundred Years of Solitude", succumbing to love and burning his life for the one he loves. This is an extreme way of life, vigorous but short-lived. Sometimes I think, if Samuel comes back alive, what the story will be, but the ghost knows, because Samuel is dead. I gradually believe that life is the result of many choices entangled. Sometimes we can open one knot, but we can't open all of them.

Ps: I saw the translation of the names in this edition is very strange. Tristan turned into Tristan, Alfred turned into Avery, and Samuel turned into Samuel. At that time, I wondered how strange the name of the family was. Later, I watched the actors. The watch came to understand. These names are very common. According to the current translation of the mainland, they should be Tristan, Alfred and Samuel, all of which are very masculine and masculine names. Spain now has a very strong forward named Tristan, and Argentina's main defender is named Samuel.

    These people did not live their lives as human lives at all. What they lived was a reckless prairie and a vast sea, a bloody autumn and wildness as they wished, and they also obeyed the law of the jungle that blood is thicker than water and kings and losers are defeated. Human relations, law and morality in the social sense are invalid for this extreme to dangerous romanticism. I don't like the values ​​of this film, but I can't deny the infinite fascination with this way of living in my heart.
