Movie "Lonely Heart"
Directed by Reiner Werner Fassbinder
-----
All relationships that are not formed for the purpose of love, sooner or later, can cause irreparable harm.
Effie is a naïve girl who obeys her parents' orders to marry a stale and indifferent Count Byron.
After marriage, Count Byron devoted himself to the pursuit of fame and fortune, completely ignoring the emotional needs of his wife.
He has a quirk and likes to tell ghost stories to his wife, which scares Effie into frequently hallucinating and seeing demons.
He also often worked away from home, but never told his wife where he was going or what he was going.
The couple, who were twenty years apart in age, looked very harmonious in their performance, but the cracks were creeping in day by day.
A sunny and lively girl who is eager to share the passion of youth, every day is like hitting a cold and hard wall.
Effie felt empty, lonely and cold, and her heart was torn apart and dripping with blood.
No one helped her and healed her.
Only a rude maid in the house was willing to talk to her and share the woman's emotional secrets.
Later, Effie meets a handsome man who knows her very well, Colonel Clempas, and the two are irrepressibly plunged into a dangerous love.
The Count of Byron, though often absent from home, spied on Effie's hidden minions.
When he learned that Effie had cheated on him, he shot Effie's lover and left him dead on an empty beach, with no one to collect his body.
He then divorced Effie, kicked her out of the house, and cut off Effie's connection with her daughter.
Effie was criticized, and instead of taking her home, her parents placed her in a remote house to recuperate.
Fortunately, it turned out that the maid of the house who could talk to her volunteered to follow Effie and take care of the notorious woman.
Under her care, Effie gradually improved and regained the confidence to continue living.
Count Byron killed his lover, abandoned his wife, and restored his reputation, but he remained unhappy.
Perhaps, he never knew what love was, never experienced the feeling of happiness.
He loves impotence.
Still obsessed with fame and fortune, chasing power, treating his daughter as cruelly as an animal:
"If you are allowed..."
Daughters can do something.
He felt like a king, and all the people around him were slaves and livestock.
He was caught in the curse of the devil, and only loneliness, coldness, loneliness, and coldness lingered around him.
He sold his soul to the devil in exchange for the cold Washington, the sinister servant, the rich loneliness.
Mother came to Effie's bed and said to her back: Because of you, we have been hurt.
Effie was silent, and speechless.
Who exactly was hurt?
Earl Byron? Majestic parents?
Wasn't the victim Colonel Clempas, who died by the sea, or Effie, who was dying in a hospital bed?
Wasn't it this righteous aristocratic mother who married her to such a devil?
All the harm in the world comes from hate, the opposite of love.
The Count of Byron did not love himself, so he sold himself to the devil.
The devil gave him all his substances and took away his emotions.
In order to marry the nobles, the mother expanded the façade and sold her daughter to the devil.
The devil doesn't love Effie.
Effie rejects the devil in exchange for true love.
She did something wrong, but never sold her soul.
Are you going to make a deal with the devil?
