My top 10 movies because of Maugham because of the real cheap and lovely sublime parts of people

The adaptation of the film polishes the main line of the story into a story of love and forgiveness, but what I understand Maugham is telling is the story of women's awakening; Water's pain and forbearance in the original book are moving and grief-stricken, and have never appeared since then. The warm part of the past is realized in the movie, which is both a comfort and a deficiency. PS: Norton is so charming.

Walter Fane: Do you like flowers?
Kitty Fane: Not particularly, no. Well, I mean yes, but we don't really have them around the house. Mother says, "Why purchase something you can grow for free?" Then, we don't really grow them either. It does silly really. To put all that effort into something that's just going to die.

Walter Fane: Are you looking to kill yourself?
