Is the essence of life unsatisfactory?

Looking at the introduction, it is probably a story about love, but of course it is not a vulgar and fleshly love, but a kind of love that cannot be achieved, and would rather choose to let go of it. It is a kind of poignant, great but incomplete love.

What I didn't expect was that a love story gradually appeared about 1/3 of the way through, which made me wonder if I was looking for the wrong resource because of the movie's same name as last time. However, with a hint of doubt, I still watched patiently, and I began to be slowly drawn in. From the initial suspicion, to the awareness of the truth conveyed by the film, to the second half of the process, I was completely hit. That kind of love is poignant and heart-wrenching.

The meaning of horses to Americans is that I have a deep understanding after watching these two "Horse Whisperers", they are like family. Like humans, horses also have delicate emotions. After suffering trauma, their hearts also need warmth and comfort. The process of getting along with the horse is a process of soothing the horse's soul, which seems to reflect the root causes of various problems between people, and the methods to solve these problems seem to be common. That is the need for patience, which is reflected in the willingness to give it time, to give it space, and to tolerate its bad temper. Thinking about it, isn't this the way of getting along with anything in this world? Isn't the harmonious relationship we have with our loved ones, loved ones, and friends that lasts only because we're willing to take the time, give each other space, and choose to be patient when they lose their temper?

The debate between "bread" and "poetry and distance" never seems to end. But most people are suppressed by the so-called rationality. Occasionally, they look forward to poetry and the distance. After taking pity on herself, Gu Ying turns her head and returns to reality, comforting herself that the ideal is full and the reality is very skinny. Where can poetry and distance come from without bread? ? So do I. It takes a lot of courage to change, because it necessarily means making trade-offs. Just like the male protagonist in the film, he gave up love in order to pursue himself. I admire this independence, this independence based on having a clear sense of who I am.

As for the love line conveyed by the film, I was struck by the fact that I was projecting more of that emotion onto myself. I have heard this sentence before: a person will experience two or three unforgettable feelings in his life. At first glance, it sounds like he is defending cheating, but it may also be the same person! Love in love, love in newlyweds, love in middle age, and love in old age probably all have different feelings. However, if it is not with the same person, the complexity of this relationship can be imagined. I think it's not just moral or legal to explain, because what a complex species humans are, the moral or legal judgment is obviously one-sided. Then, if an untimely true love really appears, facing the family responsibilities behind and the heart that cannot be deceived, I am afraid that only the people in the game can understand the taste. If one person's giving up can help more people, would you choose to give up? The heroine's choice is yes, and rationality overcomes sensibility, making the film a tragedy and making moviegoers feel sentimental for this unsatisfactory. Is it true that the essence of life is not perfect? I think I seem to understand the meaning of tragedy.

If this kind of abandonment is made by the second male protagonist other than the male and female protagonists, we seem to be exclaiming greatness. When you love, you try to love, even if loving and being loved are not equal. When you feel that you are not loved, you choose to let go and choose to be fulfilled. How much courage does it take!

    I like the temperament of Kristin Scott Thomas very much, but in this film, she is really not very moving. Because I don't like the whole story. The love part is the same as the bridge bridge's last dream, a vulgar extramarital affair. The parts of the horse and the little girl are good, but they are not expressive enough, not as good as the one in the novel.

    The western grasslands are so beautiful, I don't know how cool it is to ride a horse. This emotion should be so rational, it should be buried in the depths of the heart, and it should be regarded as a beautiful journey. Although the beginning of the love bud is beautiful, but choosing to leave the family will cause too much damage. It needs more care from the family. Never abandon the redemption you just got. You can't be so cruel. This is the real love. After all, the husband is also a good husband, so it is not a tragedy to look back. Scarlett was so cute when she was young. The male protagonist is 10 years younger and the effect is better. Although she performed well, she was too old.

The Horse Whisperer quotes

  • Annie: I haven't ridden Western before.

    Tom Booker: Yeah, but he doesn't know that. Just sit on the horse.

  • Annie: [reading] A million years before man they grazed the vast empty plains, living by voices only they could hear. They first came to know man as the hunted knows the hunter. Before he used horses for his labors, he killed them for meat. The alliance with man would forever be fragile. For the fear he struck deep into their hearts was too deep to be dislodged. Since that neolithic moment when a horse was first haltered, there were those among men who understood this. They could see into the creature's soul and sooth the wounds they found there. The secrets uttered softly into troubled ears. These men were known as the Whisperers.
