Four hundred years, both men and women, how can we live wonderfully, understandably, and live more self-consciously? I can't find a clear theme, and the chapters like poems and dreams are also a little interesting to look at. The picture is more beautiful

Porter's achievement was to translate Woolf's sphere of interest into film, not only in language and literature, but also in history, nature, weather, animals, sexual relations and the nature of both sexes. While fiction can stand up to abstraction and arbitrariness (like Orlando's gender change), movies are more practical. Thus, Queen Elizabeth bestowed upon him Orlando's longevity, […] and this remains unexplained in the books. The film's ending needs to be brought to life (at the time of the 1992 film's release) in order to be faithful to Virginia Woolf's use of real-time at the end of the novel (the story ends when she puts down her pen to finish the book). It means acknowledging that some of the key events of the 20th century—two world wars, the electronic revolution—space was reshaped by speed through the contraction of time.

Princess Sasha: Why are you sad?
Orlando: Because. Because I can't bear this happiness to end.
Princess Sasha: But we are together.
Orlando: Yes, now. But what about tomorrow? And the day after?
Princess Sasha: Orlando, I think you suffer from a strange melancholy. Which is, you suffer in advance. Look at me. Look. You are too serious, Orlando. And yet not serious enough.
