Some people say this is the right movie to watch in autumn. Just after the beginning of autumn. There are still shadows of summer. But in my heart I always feel that the golden season of autumn is coming. Just like the halo yellow light illuminated by the oil lamp in the film. Meryl's temperament is straight. According to what Jin Jin taught me to distinguish the elements of female beauty. So her curly hair in the film kind of spoils her overall beauty. But this kind of straightness best reflects the female image of the heroine Karen, who is fearless (I wanted to use the word fearless, but it reminded me of Liu Hulan, so it is more accurate to use this English word).
This is a painful movie from start to finish. The pain keeps you from crying. With Karen's calm and calm confession running through the film, all the waiting, patience, dedication and beauty become meaningful. Although it was an understatement, it still couldn't hide the pain.
The pain of
marriage The importance of marriage to a woman's life is self-evident. When young Karen got married to leave the lifestyle she could have imagined all her life. The heart must not be ready to go through so much torture. There is even a kind of youthful ignorance and fearlessness. If you could have foreseen this ending. Shouldn't be so violent. It is not unfortunate to marry someone who does not love each other, if the other person is a person with human light and temperance like karen. But the other party is a stinky man who doesn't even want to lie to his own wife and his wife. Although Karen tried his best to pay the price for his recklessness, he eventually caused a devastating blow.
Karen is undoubtedly brave and committed. It is mainly reflected in the act of risking his life to send war supplies to his husband in person. I'd rather believe it's less about love for your husband than about being responsible for your own choices. The kind of life that is as warm as a wild rose in her heart, when she wields the whip to drive away the lion that was attacking at night, it was vividly displayed. Sometimes, even though you know you made the wrong choice in the first place, you still can't just end the mistake neatly. It is because I still have such expectations in my heart, and I hope that through my own efforts, I can make up for this mistake as much as possible, and even reverse this mistake. Not everyone is lucky enough to be successful. But persistent people always try hard. The original intention is to leave no regrets. Perhaps in the end even greater regrets are waiting for you. These human dispositions, whether in the early 20th century or have evolved to the 21st century, have not actually changed substantially.
When I contracted syphilis because of my husband, I went back to Denmark for treatment for several years, and finally lost my fertility as a result. Nor did Karen take the initiative to leave her husband. It wasn't until the Christmas party that when the New Year's bell struck the man who was supposed to kiss her, she found the underwear left by other women in the car on the way home, and she asked him to move to the city.
It is such a man, and he still needs this woman to continue to provide him financially. When she was very angry, she often said that she would not give him money. Maybe this is a fatal blow to all men. As smart as she is, she has to use such tricks in her married life. I don't know if she is really too naive or if she is helpless.
When I look at it again, I understand a little more about their marriage relationship. It has been maintained for 7 years in name and arduously for 7 years, not because the two sides are not good enough, but because the marriage conditions that seem to be just right on the outside make it more difficult to let go, and Karen is persistent enough about his life. As well as the kindness in the hearts of both parties and the background of the era in the early 20th century.
love pain
Dennis is charming. He was the man who could see into the depths of Karen's soul. Unfortunately, he is also free and adrift. He has brought karen countless beauty and sharing. She appeared quietly many times when she was physically and mentally exhausted. But when they were together for 13 years, he was reluctant to give her the promise of marriage. Even if she says I just want a marriage proposal in my life, and you don't want to get married so much, I can't refuse your proposal. What's more, when he felt lonely without her and turned to commitment, he drifted away forever. The victory of marriage is the victory of compromise. I don't know if love is the same.
And he's always leaving, which means she's always waiting for him to come back. Those days of burning oil lamps, listening to stories by the fireplace, those days of swimming in the blue sky, those days of hunting outdoors, she said that she felt that life was very good with these good memories. When the last two were arguing, she said that you must move out of here, and he answered almost without hesitation: OK. After that, she had a blank expression for a while. Love is an adventure. Without the maintenance of marriage, such a breakaway means dissolution. They've been together for 13 years, and her adventure has ended in failure.
For love, maybe we really can only ask to have loved, owned, and been beautiful.
The pain of wandering
life has never been more than romance. The mysterious vastness of the African land is fascinating, but it is also a test of livelihood. It is even more difficult for a woman to leave her homeland across the oceans and continents, in an era when the status of men is higher. The language barrier and the difference in concept make her lonely. If she wasn't a person with the ability to travel with thought, she should have escaped from that land long ago and would not be able to give up her nostalgia for this land for the rest of her life.
The dismal harvest of growing coffee has forced her to repeatedly cut spending and had to fire her only white employee because she had no other choice and had to negotiate with the government for the debt she owed to the government. There are also irregular attacks from various birds and beasts on the African land. In the end, everything was destroyed by fire for no apparent reason. She also made a choice to sell the furniture, china and crystals she brought and leave the land with no option. The African song that belongs to her comes to an end here.
those warm
But all this pain is hidden behind the film's flatness. The whole film is like a paddy field in autumn, giving people a feeling of ups and downs, slightly bright and gentle. The pain I feel is the same.
The man who never gave up was her butler. Although not love and affection. But always the same. He asked her if she was going far this time? Far. she replied. He also looked forward to her being able to burn that fire big enough that he could find her again and do anything for her.
And her kindness to Africans. When she took off the white gloves on the hands of the domestic servants, it meant another sublimation of her inner feelings towards these people. In order to fight for land for them, she was indomitable and did not hesitate to kneel. These are all kindnesses to people.
Just no matter how tenacious women. Don't forget, in fact, they also have pain.
Just like no matter how warm the briar flower, only with care can it bloom for a long time.
