Kindness - a shining beacon in the ocean of human nature

This is a story about kind people. Veteran TOM returned to the town after the war as a boring lighthouse keeper. In a family in a small town, the kind-hearted old couple and the young daughter both liked this middle-aged veteran, and the young daughter, who was just beginning to love, was very fond of this deep, experienced man with a mustache. After several dates and correspondence, the two fell in love with each other and became husband and wife. After that, the couple came to a small island far away from the town together and became the lighthouse keeper. The traditional Isabella, who grew up with two older brothers, is very eager for children after marriage. But two miscarriages shattered their hopes again and again. (Insert a sentence: Come here, director and screenwriter! Let me ask you, your daughter is pregnant, do you still let her live on a small island far away from the town, away from the big family, away from the hospital? Why don’t parents care? I had a miscarriage once, and the second time I asked the minister to remember? I think this place is very contrary to common sense and reason. But I don’t think old couples are so ignorant. However, they are so happy to marry their daughter to a middle-aged man Veterans estimate IQ is indeed not too high). After picking up the child, the couple had serious disagreements on whether to hand over the child. In the end, they left behind children. In fact, if they keep raising their kids until they're older and never tell the secret, it's actually fine. But TOM's conscience is too big, he stabbed the matter out after thinking about it, turned himself in, and was almost turned into murder and kidnapping of children. This is good, both families can't live in peace, Tom and his wife were arrested, Isabella lost her soul and depression, the child is estimated to be 5 years old, she wants to adopt a mother, but does not accept her biological mother. . . . Such things should happen in real life. From the perspective of the least social cost, is it right to be wrong forever? However, for someone like TOM, it's better to be honest or die, so he chose to confess. Understandable, but deprecated. In the end, the child grew up in the new family of the biological mother, Tom and Isabella were sentenced lightly, were still childless after being released from prison, and lived to old age on a hillside far away from the town. Maybe it's because I don't want to see and disturb the child. Isabella died before TOM, and until she died, she still felt guilty and reluctant to part with the child she found. At the end, the kind and loving two people walk hand in hand to the golden paradise.

    Although I feel that the plot is a bit far-fetched, I still like Uncle Fa? Want to give birth to a monkey for Fa shark?

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.
