But this movie is not as glamorous as its name. On the contrary, this movie is simple and unpretentious. is about a lieutenant colonel and a high school student, both of whom have encountered the crossroads of their lives and feel confused and helpless. But in the end, because of each other's help, they finally found their goals in life, the story of mutual fulfillment. The moving scene in the
movie should be: is on New York Avenue, when the blind lieutenant colonel rushes to the street full of vehicles, wanting to seek the relief of life in this way, and ultimately fails. After that, he said to the high school students who rushed over: "I'm too tired."
So, what did the lieutenant colonel go through to let him choose this way to end himself without hesitation?
1. He was once very glorious.
In "Scent of a Woman", the first time the lieutenant colonel met with high school student Charlie, he talked about his glorious years braggingly, "Don't call me Captain, I am Lieutenant colonel, has served for twenty-six years. No one has ever lowered me to the fourth level." "When the president participated in the Paris peace talks, I was responsible for the briefing. After the "Silver Star" was awarded the "Silver Bear", the president transferred me to G2 (Smart Intelligence brigade that can only be done by humans)".
In the house of the lieutenant colonel’s eldest brother, you can know something from his nephew’s words. Although the nephew’s words are full of satires about the lieutenant colonel, it is not difficult for to find that the lieutenant colonel is a glorious moment. Man, "He must have told you that he was Jason's assistant, Fan Ke was originally promoted to general."
Yes, a lieutenant colonel like can use the word "hero" to describe him , after all, he He has been in the army for twenty-six years, he is a lieutenant colonel, and he is also an aide to the president and an appointed general. With such multiple identities, you can imagine how honorable a lieutenant colonel was when he was young.
2. He is a failure now
but this glorious man, in the film "Scent of a Woman", still has not escaped the tragedy of "hero twilight", or compared with the words "hero twilight" Even worse. During a hand-to-hand battle with a professor, the lieutenant colonel drank too much alcohol in the class, so that he pulled down the fuse of the grenade, and eventually the bomb exploded, which made a major turn in his life.
At this point, the lieutenant colonel not only lost the opportunity to be a general, but also went blind. even his nephew sarcastically said: "Maybe God thinks that some people are not worthy of him." This is a worse end than "Heroes", for the lieutenant colonel, it is a difficult hurdle to overcome.
So at the beginning of the film, you will see the lieutenant colonel shut himself in a dark and small room, staying in the dark corner of the room, not in contact with the outside world, even the little girl who came to play was thrown away by him with a pillow Up. At this time, the lieutenant colonel of was facing the dilemma of "heroes twilight", but he did not know how to escape.
3. He completed all his life plans
After experiencing a fiasco in his life, on Thanksgiving Day, the lieutenant colonel began his last journey of life. He took Charlie, came to New York, and began to implement his plan: "First-class restaurant, good food, a good drink; see my eldest brother, because the family relationship is the greatest; have sex with a young woman, and then lie down in China He shot his head through the luxurious bed of Erdolf."
When all the plans were completed one by one, even the most precious "family" did not allow the lieutenant colonel to find a reason to survive. So even though Charlie took the lieutenant colonel to experience the acceleration of a Ferrari, , when Ferrari stopped, the emptiness in his heart made him choose to commit suicide.
So there is the scene in the movie: is on the New York Avenue where cars go. The lieutenant colonel rushes to the traffic without hesitation. After he is not hit and killed, he is very embarrassed and wants to be on the street. He peeed, then said to Charlie with a lonely look: "I’m too tired.”
IV. Conclusion
Actually, the reason why the lieutenant colonel has such behavior is just a momentary confusion and impulsive choice. Because even if he is stuck in the trough of life, even if he is confused, the lieutenant colonel still wants To live, as he said: "You never thought of leaving lightly, and you want to stay in your heart."
And in life, many times, like a lieutenant colonel, you will fall into a trough, get lost, and even want to leave. Extreme, , but just as the lieutenant colonel in the film found a reason to support himself because of Charlie’s sentence: "You look so handsome when you dance tango and drive a Ferrari", as long as you grasp a simple reason, then all The confusion will disappear.
