Innocence was an essential emotion in the story. Alan’s pure belief in true love made me think about the naiveness of love. I asked myself such questions as, “does love blind people?”, “does belief in love go to vain with age?”
Firstly, love challenges people with the loss of innocence. Whenever a love get response, it begins to fade in time. Love alters into addiction, obsession and maybe fear; fear to lose the beloved one (the one obsessed with in this case). These unhealthy feelings may recover in sometime, but it requires self-respect and self-realization. If those qualities wouldn’t ocur, people who “was” in love become the most cruel person ever lived. The love you’re enduring is a burden now, you hate the person, who you wanted the most only sometime ago.
Nonetheless love gives people courage too. An hopeless love can open the doors to you just like the doors Alan opened. But those doors lead dark ways and I think no good can come with haste. But I learnt these by experience. So what can an inexperienced lover do? Nothing but making mistakes! Love blinds the lovers and the “responded love” enlightens their sight again.
The old man in The Chaser also can act as an antagonist where the main character is “innocence”. His disbelief to all human qualities and emotions made me ask that, “can only aging make a person like this?” Well I don’t think so. I think his cynic view of life based on harsh and maybe dark things he lived through in his youth. Thus only a human being could be that emotionless. So, in my opinion, belief in love vains not with age but with false experience. A loving family, healthy social enviroment and a faithful relationship can provide a lifetime of optimisim about love and other feelings.
To conclude, I imagine two person standing at the farthest edges from themselves one has corrupted with false experience and one has cursed with false innocence.
