It's all selfishness, and it's also the wife's fault

This is a movie about forgiveness.
I often imagine what would happen if this story happened in China? Usually, the couple will not show any traces on the surface, but have a little guilt in their hearts. Raise the children and never tell the truth. Write to The birth mother of the child, sending a letter to the birth mother of the child, this kind of stupid thing is definitely not done by ordinary people.
The story of the movie is very simple. The veteran and his wife are guarding the lighthouse on an isolated island. After several miscarriages, they are very sad. One day they found a boat floating over , There was a baby and a dead biological father on the boat. The soldier raised the baby against his will at the insistence of his wife, and claimed to be his own child. The soldier later discovered the baby's biological mother and wrote letters to her successively, thus leaving evidence. , After the truth came out, the soldiers were arrested and took responsibility for protecting their wives by themselves. They were severely sentenced. At a critical juncture, the military's wife told the truth, the baby's biological mother also chose to forgive, and the military couples were sentenced lightly. Many years later, The grown-up baby comes to recognize relatives. The
soldier is actually a very upright person, but his wife is more selfish. It is precisely because of the selfishness of the wife that the baby is raised privately, and because of the selfishness of the wife, the soldier almost suffered capital punishment. Soldiers send letters and things to the birth mother of the baby, out of conscience and to make amends, but this is too much remedy and brings danger to themselves and their families, which is not desirable.
The theme of the film is forgiveness, the forgiveness of the wife, Only the forgiveness of the baby's biological mother can prevent a greater tragedy from happening. No one is perfect, and we should also treat others with forgiveness in our lives.

    The first half is a good look, and Kanmei shyly looking at Shasha is too touching. The scenery on the island is also superb. The second half is ugly, everyone is sometimes unreasonable and sometimes the Virgin Mary, which is very boring. Rachel said I understand that my daughter can live without me even though I can't live without her, but I can't punish her for this when she was about to hand over her daughter is so heartbreaking.

    Family affection and feelings are probably indescribable with reason... The literary film is extremely slow and the scenery is beautiful...

The Light Between Oceans quotes

  • [first lines]

    Tom Sherbourne: I'm just looking to get away from things for a little while.

    Mr. Coughlan: [sitting behind his desk] Well, it's no paradise out on that island. Just want to make sure you know what you're in for.

    Tom Sherbourne: All due respect, Mr. Coughlan, it's not likely to be tougher than the Western Front.

    Mr. Coughlan: Oh, you're probably right about that. You pay your own passage to every posting. You're a relief worker so you don't get holidays. I understand you're a single man. No family. So, that's a slight concern. Wouldn't normally send a single man to Janus. It's pretty remote and wife and family can be a great practical help, not just a comfort. But, seeing it's only temporary, you leave for Port Partageuse in two days. From there you'll be shipped off to Janus. Welcome to Commonwealth Lighthouse Service. Proud to have a man who served our country with such distinction amongst our ranks.

  • Isabel Graysmark: I can tell you lots about me. My mom taught me the piano.

    Tom Sherbourne: You still play?

    Isabel Graysmark: Not that well. My brothers used to tease me awfully when I played. I lost both of them - in the War. Just must be so confusing for my parents. I mean, if a wife loses a husband she becomes a widow, but if a parent loses a child there's no special label for it. You're still a mother or father. Even if you no longer have a child. Sometimes I wonder, if I'm still technically a sister now when my brothers are gone.
