The two stupid men behind the weak woman

In previous reviews, I mentioned that Morgan Freeman's characters gave me a very profound positive image, and now I can add another actor, yes, that's right, Johnny Depp. Whether it is a very well-known pirate captain, a stern scissors hand, a dancing Mad Hatter, or a weak man in this film, I can feel Depp's choice of characters to express some of his inner thoughts. Thought. Justice and happiness are things that we humans have always pursued and promoted. No matter how time and environment change, these good things cannot be overwhelmed by our human beings, because this is the foundation of our human civilization.



This film is about the power of love, whether it is family or love. And only from such films can I find something strange that can be called emotion, because this is one of the characteristics that distinguishes human beings from other higher creatures. Bonnie, help you. You are my family and I can't leave you alone to enjoy happiness, that's what Bonnie believes. This film reminded me of the film's heart pounding, and there is also a clip in which the father, as an older brother, is reluctant to send his younger brother to an indifferent welfare institution, but is willing to use his own care to take his younger brother through his beautiful life. Life. The content of the story is different, but the kind of affection and the beautiful spiritual power of human nature that I want to express are all worthy of praise as an audience. Especially in the face of the arrival of love, the kind of willingness to sacrifice his own happiness and stick to his love for his sister for so many years is even more amazing for his greatness. Some people may think that this is a manifestation of inferiority. Here I need to say something for these people: this is not inferiority, nor stupid. The expression of inferiority is actually not like this. Such words and deeds can only be done by a real man with a strong, stable and responsible heart. People with low self-esteem often embarrass each other and society. For example, always complaining, always having a negative attitude, always unable to control emotions, etc. Facing Lucy's love, Bonnie was afraid that his love for Joan would be divided, which would cause harm to both women. People like Bonnie don't want to hurt people. They are really kind people, so they would rather not have a happy love and let Joan live a normal and peaceful life.









Of course, facing Sam's challenge in the end made him make the wrong choice for his self-esteem. Such a mistake, while Bonnie feels very good about himself, don't forget that the negative side of things is also very odious. Bonnie can understand Joan, but not Sam as an outsider. But what Sam said to Bonnie in the hospital made Bonnie feel Sam: Since he can understand his own thoughts, shouldn't this kind of person be trustworthy? Isn't that the man who can take over and take care of Joan himself? I wonder if the director wanted to express that. People can not escape from doing wrong? Knowing mistakes can be corrected, but still a good person! Only in this way can people continuously improve themselves in the continuous growth and life. So in the end, my conclusion is: Bonnie is not only a responsible and good family member, but also a kind person who can constantly understand others.



As for the other silly man, Depp's Sam. If we say that Bonnie's stupidity is a kind of choice of words and deeds created by the personality formed by the acquired environment, it is a reflection of inner thoughts. And Sam's stupidity could not be chosen by himself. It was an instinctive innate achievement. But even if he is born different from ordinary people, it does not mean that he can be treated unfairly. Whether it's being pushed by the parents to live with the cousin, or being given to others by the cousin as a bet, it seems like a funny plot, but it's not funny at all. The film is still full of seriousness, Bonnie doesn't want to accept Sam like this, and which cousin "righteousness" takes it for granted that Bonnie must accept the bet. The contrast is very strong and is of course hidden in the plot that foreshadowed before. One side is indifference, the other side is responsible, the same is human, why is the gap between human nature so huge? This is a very worthy social question, so let's see how the film answers this question.








Since life and the world are already like this, and you are at the same disadvantage, if you have ideas, how should you face such a life? Sam, he chose to face it bravely. We can think of this as a reluctant acceptance, but Sam, as the story unfolds, gave me a good answer. No matter what his cousin did to him, Sam still lived happily, and all sorts of external things could be things he had fun and learned from. Notice how Sam is thankful when he is arranged by Bonnie to sleep somewhere. Because of the comparison, you can know how things are different from the different words and deeds of different people, and then learn to judge by yourself what is good and what is not good. I think normal people will feel which attitude towards life they should learn. Of course, if you can't judge, it's also caused by chaotic values ​​and logic concepts, and these are not worth wasting words.



Two similar people have met, and they are a man and a woman. Maybe they do not have the ordinary life that normal people have, and they both have words and deeds that ordinary people think are weird. However, in their respective hearts, he/she is so different from each other. Different yet so attractive! They can understand each other's words and deeds and what they want to express. What I want to say is: such happiness may only be experienced by those who have had it before. Since they can get happiness from each other that they have never had before, why can't they live together? So what was Bonnie thinking at the time? In my opinion, it's just self-esteem plus a bit of prejudice. After all, Sam was a weakling, and to him Sam was an outsider, and he couldn't accept in his heart that such a man would be his family. This is the idea that relatives outside the world have, especially in the modern open society, marriage is not a personal love, but a family's concept of marriage. To be honest, both love and marriage are selfish. Many families can turn marriage into an unselfish family view. In fact, in my opinion, it is worthy of admiration. . . The words of Teacher Yi Zhongtian have always been deeply remembered in my mind: If you can't do something, then you should admire the person who can do it. So now the third judicial interpretation of the marriage law will cause so much controversy. Let's see who are the people who are in dispute now? Who could they have been before? What kind of person can you be in the future? Or read more good books and movies, that is the right way to love and marriage.









Joan is a weak woman, but she is strong. The first is to face the torture of the disease, the second is to face the bad vision of the society, and of course the most important thing is to lose the joy of life that many normal people can experience. When Sam showed up to get her attention, I saw the femininity of this beautiful girl. When she finds out that there is another man like her, can you imagine the sense of belonging and the happiness of finding another self? The departure of loneliness and loneliness has made a big change in Joan's life. Isn't her beautiful smile and normal and calm conversation exactly what she wants to show to the man who only belongs to her? Hehe, some people say that women who are in love are the most beautiful women, and that's true, at least that's what I can see from Joan's expression. In the relaxed and happy contact, the buds of love are getting stronger and stronger. Here, I also wish all lovers who are cultivating love ^_^








As for the ending of this film is also very good, I personally like to have a happy ending. I don't want to say that it is precious because there are few endings, but because it promotes the true meaning of love: love is love, it has no other impurities, it is the feeling of comfort, happiness and happiness.



Finally, it ends with a classic line:

Are you afraid? I can see it. And I know why. I used to respect you very much, but I don't want to see you anymore.





In fact, this is what people like Bonnie are most afraid of hearing. So in the end, Bonnie can reflect on the main reason for himself, in order to improve himself.
