      On Chesil Beach--A Modern Version of Wuthering Heights

      Nothing can stop them from falling in love; crazy moms; very different upbringings; but sex can. It is attractive because it is different, but from the root, does spiritual fitness influence sex? She looks a bit weird here, and later found that her tough face is right; the girl is the leader in the relationship between the two; she chose the boy at a certain time, taming a wildboy, but the boy can...

      Book

      As a die-hard McEwan book fan, these two years have been a happy one: "On Chesil Beach", "Children in Time", and "Children's Act" have been put on the screen successively, and the latter two have been released by Curly Fu and Abandoned respectively. Starring Emma Thompson.

      The most successful adaptation of McEwan's book to date is still 2007's Atonement. Although it was narrowly defeated at the Oscars that year, it did not affect it to become a generation of classics in the...

      love me you heal me

      Love is a matter of two people, but marriage is a matter of two families or even two families. We already know this truth, but this film says that young people are still too naive. When you think you are in love with the person in front of you, you look at him, handsome or beautiful, poor or rich, humorous or rigorous, open or reserved, with arrogance and burden attached,

      All the advantages and disadvantages are presented one by one, you feel that you already know everything,...

      theme and structure

      "On Chelsea Beach"

      It seems that it was because the sexual liberation movement had not yet started in that year (after all, the story of my birth, 1975). Humans are either savage and beast-like, or they are secretive, and when they grow up, they find it hard to tell them. So two good young people, one is a first-class student in history, and the other is a violin player. The two are very tacit, and very in love. But because the newlyweds screwed up. In fact, the smashing is not...

      Poetic collapse

      #BIFF2018

      The first film I watched at the Beijing Film Festival this year was the long feature film "On Chesil Beach" produced by the BBC and directed by stage director Dominic Cooke, which was adapted from the novel of the same name by Ian McEwan (representative: "Atonement").

      In the 1960s, in the rustic sand and stone seaside (the east coast of England is such a depressing coast), Florence and Edward were in a honeymoon hotel on their wedding day. Their cowardly conversations...

      The subtitle should be "Pre-marital sex education can't be less". Both of them are stubborn enough. An unsuccessful foreplay sex led to an escalation of conflict. In the end, they will never meet again for most of their lives, and it will be too late to meet again. Sister Ronan is beautiful, Chesil Beach is beautiful, the narrative rhythm in the first half is good, and the rest is...

      The original work party feels that it has not well restored the life background, psychological mechanism behind the first night of failure, and the real life that the male protagonist gave up. Unless the audience has read the original work, the reunion at the end is forcibly added, similar to the compensation in "Atonement", The side testified that the heroine was "innocent", but I still burst into...

    The film's poor grasp of the rhythm has been criticized by many fans of the original novel. The parting at Chessell Beach cut the rhythm of the story completely: the process of falling in love and newly married is not hurried or slow, and the process of reunion in the old age seems to be accelerated and fast-forwarded. The director and writer are cruel, they have opened the scars deep in their hearts, and bloody regrets and regrets are...

    Movie quotes

    • Florence Ponting: He knows the names of trees and flowers and constellations and he wears plimsolls, never shoes.

      Ruth Ponting: And his socks never match.

      Florence Ponting: Exactly.

      Ruth Ponting: And he doesn't know the difference between a croissant and a baguette.

      Florence Ponting: That's why I love him.

    • Edward Mayhew: [about his mother] When he used this horrible phrase, everything changed. Brain-damaged. Suddenly I saw her the way other people did.

      Florence Ponting: That must have been awful. You're always very kind to her. My mother just pretends to be brain-damaged.

    • Florence Ponting: [during foreplay] Say something. No, say something stupid like you used to.

      Edward Mayhew: Miss Ponting, you have a clavicle and a philtrum that all men wish to play on, and a vibrato that all men adore, but you're entirely mine, and I'm so very glad and proud.

      Florence Ponting: In that case, you may kiss my vibrato.
