Cider House Rules Eval

Clearly evident was the evidence in Cider House Rules that the movie was dramatic. The creation of such a movie underlyingly routed and re-routed your mind to believe the movie could be about a controversial topic, while it took your mind towards another route, believing that the main character's perception of the world was auspiciously naive'.
The scenes took me to a place in history, when abortion was viewed not as it is of current day. Although it was not legal, it was also not a major gradation in moral flaws to have such a procedure performed; there was no emphasis on the subject to project it as so.
The hairstyles worn, make-up and costumes were all selected to emphasize a time in our past of war, possibly WWII. The lighting was primarily natural or appeared to give that type of effect. When outdoors, the sun brightly lit up the apple orchards, fishing dock and car scenes. But when indoors, the lighting was rather dark, as if natural lighting was the most affordable means of light for the characters within their element.

The institutionalization portrayed a place dramatically different than what one might perceive of an orphanage, so the feeling we have is sympathetic towards the children and staff who work hard to make it the happiest place a child could be, in his or her situation. We see the raw emotions of the staff caring for such downtrodden children from the time they awake until they lay their little heads to sleep at night. Regardless of the situation, the rules of St. Clouds, the orphanage, is keeping the sanctity of its occupants preserved through structure and positive thinking and feeling, "aren't we happy for Fuzzy? Yes, Fuzzy found a home...good night Fuzzy".

The ideal of rules fit for the inhabitants is made towards the end of the movie, when the rules are finally related to the occupants of the Cider House. The rules did not pertain properly to the humanity of the workers, there was no sense in their meaning. In life, if the rules are not indicative to the cause and are not established from within, chaos can ensue. This thought is described best at the near end of the movie when Mr. Rose says on his deathbed, "Sometimes you have to break some rules to put things straight". This statement carries over into every crack and gulley in our lives when determining how we can make the best of our situation, and sometimes, rules must be tested, analyzed and re-ruled in order for an element to function properly.
