      trip to india

      David Lean's films are made a bit like a calendar...or that kind of boilerplate calendar...whether it's the camera or the performance, it's full of effort. It took care of the understanding of the movie audience, and pretended to sort out the murky and unclear places in the novel, but it was also boring and politically correct. For example, Mrs. Moore has become a great hero, no, in fact, at her age, the culture shock can no longer be overcome. She was killed by India, and the rational framework she built in her life collapsed. The film's omission of this makes her not May the court appearance become a very strange thing, and the audience pretends to understand. And the complaints about the Indians have also been cut off. Professor Godboll does not represent some mysterious prophet. They are sometimes so indifferent and nonsensical.

      The violin is a good thing, especially for exotic movie soundtracks. The paintings outline the imagination of India. Judy Davis is really good-looking, the kind that is different from the West, who was talking about the floating corpse on the Ganges before, the music played, everyone was solemn in the first shot, and the river water rippled in the moonlight in the second shot. The conflict of the lens itself, the contrast montage, forms a sense of dislocation and association of summoning, and completes the summoning structure. 47 minutes later, the first conflict came to an end, and the scene where the monkey sounded again in the theme soundtrack was very interesting. The man and the monkey were never in the same scene. At such a price, I went to make a movie, so there will be no David Lean today. Have a chance to watch it.

    A Passage to India quotes

    • McBryde: I've had 25 years' experience here. I have never known anything but disaster result when English and lndians attempt to be intimate.

    • Dr. Aziz H. Ahmed: And I know what you're going to ask next. You're going to ask me to let her off paying 20,000 rupees, right? Then, if I agree, the English will be able to say "Here is an lndian that almost behaved like a gentleman." "But for the colour of his face, we might even let him join the club."
