First of all, we must praise the old actor Sean Penn who plays "Mad Men". Uncle Pan's immortal acting skills perfectly interpret this schizophrenic character, from making up for the widow's self-redemption to the widow's heart-wrenching despair from hatred to love. With the ups and downs of the plot of the movie, the characters he created became more and more active, and they continued to promote the development of the plot.
The film begins with a mortal chase. "Crazy" was not particularly "crazy" at this time (hands funny), shot and killed a family's husband by mistake. With a loud gunshot, the wife Milit became a widow, the children lost their father, and the family lost their source of income. The movie also explains to us that this "madman" is a kind and talented doctor who has experienced war. And through the shock incident of "Kind Doctor Killing", it is implied that Dr. Miner suffers from schizophrenia.
The other protagonist, Dr. Murray, is a talented, well-read poet, and of course a successful person in society. But he has a dream, that is to lead the editorial committee to edit the new version of the Oxford English Dictionary. Due to the limitations of the human technology level at that time, it would take time and energy to complete a whole Oxford English Dictionary. Computing, he quit his decent job in order to devote himself to it. Of course, behind a great man, there is always a woman with deep merit and fame, and his wife's understanding and tolerance are also one of the reasons that drives him forward. "We're about to embark on one of the greatest adventures in linguistics," Murray said proudly.
The intersection of the two protagonists stems from Dr. Murray's solicitation from readers from all walks of life about the origin and origin of each word in the dictionary. Dr. Miner contributed more than 10,000 quotations by himself, which immediately caught the attention of Dr. Murray, such a person must get acquainted! Sure enough, through the correspondence, Dr. Murray found that Dr. Miner was his bosom friend, and he had the idea of meeting with him. He wanted to meet this great doctor for a while.
Meanwhile, Dr. Mina, who kills by mistake, is so engrossed in his own fault that he asks the guards to convey that he wants to make amends for the Milit family, no matter what. With the help of the prison guards, Militt was finally willing to see Mina. After a while, she also began to understand the real person of Dr. Mina, and Dr. Mina began to teach her to read. Gradually, the hatred faded from Militt's heart, and Dr. Miner's condition began to improve, as if he had achieved redemption...
During this period, Dr. Miner met with Dr. Murray. Murray never cared about Miner's identity. He had two big beards and almost half gray hair. The two talked about books and words, and they hit it off. "You may not be able to imagine the power and timeliness of your aid," Murray said. "I've been in the dark for too long," Miner said. "Thank you for taking my torch, and we'll pass the light together until there's nothing left. dark."
When I felt that the whole movie started to develop into a warm tone, Militt's "love" and the editorial board's "question" suddenly disrupted the rhythm and broke the calm of everything. At this point, the film begins to become gloomy and gloomy, and Dr. Mina's condition suddenly begins to deteriorate, because he can't bear Milit's "love" at all. He is the murderer of her husband! How could she love him? ! His hatred of himself couldn't be more: "I stole her from the dead." On the other hand, the editorial board discovered the fact that Dr. Miner murdered and put pressure on Dr. Murray: How can a murderer join our editorial board , to be a part of this great cause? ! He's just a "murderer"!
The double pressure made Dr. Miner's body increasingly stiff, and he couldn't move, let alone speak... But Dr. Murray was reluctant to give up on him, and even his wife began to question him. Dr. Murray tried his best to find the prison guards, to find Militt, and even to find the Prime Minister Churchill, again and again to heal his fragile soul with love. And the greater Mrs. Murray came forward to the editorial board to defend her husband, Dr. Miner: "In our day, there are just two people who have found each other, my husband and his crazy murderer friend, Together, they have given us something great and extraordinary, humanity should not be punished, please don't punish them for humanity's sake."
Miner was eventually deported and returned to the United States, where he died in 1920. Dr. Murray finally finished his work with the letter T and died in 1915. The first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary has been completed, 70 years after it was first conceived. The friendship between the professor and the madman is still alive and well...
After the film is over, I still have a lot of aftertastes, such a special friendship is touching, and the "Oxford English Dictionary" is set out with a stronger color under the redemption of this love.
