The rhythm of the whole movie is not fast, like a spiritual story.
The story started for a short time to tell the stage when the male protagonist Tom and the female protagonist Isabella met and fell in love. I was a little surprised how a woman in a small town like Isabella had the courage to actively pursue love. Perhaps it was love at first sight at first sight, and Tom's evasion also exposed the anxiety and isolation buried under the long war.
On the other hand, a man who has been in war for many years cannot resist such a simple and beautiful girl in a small town. When he said that "the only woman who can go to the island is the wife of a light watcher", it seems to be the bravest and shy confession that can be said.
At that moment, I secretly thought, if I could marry a light watcher, live in the sea every day, and live on the island, in the world where there are only two people living in the world, but each other is the world, that would be another thing. It was a wonderful thing. Thinking of this, the screen showed two people embracing each other and their eyes could not help but laugh.
When Isabella smirked at the sea alone, she did not hide her happiness, and completely revealed that a person has finally lived the life she desires. The joy from the heart and the uncontrollable satisfaction are natural. Outflow.
The story slowly stretches. The loss of the first child is a turning point in the story. When Isabella described the child as “too embarrassing”, I first thought of the humbleness of women in that era. When a woman loses her child, she doesn’t focus on her mind and body. The trauma is the "shameful" social attribute. I can’t feel the pain of Isabella, who is depressed because of the loss of her child. As a spectator, I have the mindset that as long as people are there, everything has opportunities, including children. So I can only work hard to substitute myself into the plot, only the role is changed. Although there are no children, as the flesh and blood, if the mother is hurt, thinking of this, my heart palpitations suddenly, Isabella’s pain, I understand.
Leaving the rescued child and concealing the report brought great psychological pressure to Tom while enjoying the family relationship. The warriors who had fought on the battlefield couldn't bear Hannah's tears. The signal he sent brought a good intention to herself. It's a great trouble. The two shots of providing survival information to the child’s biological mother made me a little vague about Tom’s intentions. His real intention is to bring Hannah some news about her husband and daughter, so as not to be too painful to show comfort. Still tell the truth behind his wife's back in this way.
I choose to believe in the former.
With the guidance of the owl ringing the bell, when the police came to the door, Isabella beat Tom and shouted, "You don't love me". I think at that moment Tom's heart was tormented like a hole in his vest.
Hannah recalled her husband. The best thing to remember for her was to forgive. I thought that the person I loved deeply will definitely implant some values in the other person.
The ending of the story made me feel a little worried. Does it have to wait until Isabella dies before Lucy appears? Some resent this ending, although it is all classified, but not satisfactory enough. But after a long period of time, I realized that perhaps the experience of such a rapprochement originated from Isabella's greed. In the end, it was the screenwriter's intention to not see Lucy in her lifetime.
In the sunset, Tom raised an expression of comfort. Conscience is the best medicine to save selfish desires.
