      The Bridges Of Madison County--The Tense Of Marriage

      There are many comments about it. It is such a classic film! I also try to express my feelings in many ways. There are not many movies that can make people cry at this time. I took a lot of movie watching notes, but I was denied it by myself—so popular! The movie made people in the 1990s remember the American countryside in the 1960s, thereby creating a history of more than 30 years. We may say that time is the real background...

      The Bridges of Madison County

      The stamina of the second brush covered bridge's last dream is still amazing, and it will substitute a lot unconsciously. In addition to deepening my empathy for women's struggles and choices in life, I also thought about whether I can accept these things calmly as a child.

      In the first narration of the letter, the daughter chooses to believe that the mother's seemingly absurd decision has a reason, rather than the son who is too weak to accept it....

      When love faces responsibility

      A covered bridge witnessed the love of two middle-aged people. The second time I watched "Long Dreams of the Covered Bridge", I was still deeply moved by the parting of the last two people in the film in the rain.

      For love, whether in real life or in film and television works, there are too many people who sacrifice everything for love, and the concept of the supremacy of love is deeply imprinted in the hearts of many young people. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that...

      her life

      Covered Bridge's Last Dreams, a 1995 movie, I just watched it for the first time on the movie channel today. In love with this no-frills story, Meryl Streep is an unusual actor. Watching her role as the devil and then coming back to watch her emotional drama is a different experience. The ruthless devil in New York is in this life, and the housewife in Adel town is her past life. Only she can play this role, a woman with forbearance and surging emotions in her heart. Seeing the last...

      After watching "The Bridge of the Last Dream": I love you, but I can't choose you

      A woman enters middle age, her marriage is as smooth as water, without waves, life is surrounded by trivial matters, her children are growing up, and there is little common language. The expectations of the girlhood are far from the monotonous reality. At this time, a free, free and well-informed western cowboy broke into her life. His appearance was like a rain and dew on the desolate and dry land, bringing freshness and light to her dead life. However, she is a wife and a mother, and her...

      Those touching loves, it took them a lifetime to finish. A lifetime is too long, we only have one lifetime. A lifetime is too short to tell a full story. Life is beautiful, how many people can do what you...

      Those two forty-year-old bodies collided for four days and four nights, which is enough to prove how many compatible souls failed to hold hands; the wrist that could not open the door also told the world that freedom and romance can only exist for a moment, and restraint and responsibility can only exist It is the core of human civilization, and things are the same as ancient and...

      Maybe not being together before their death is a good ending for them, because memories are often beautiful because of regret, so that the other person in their memory will always be the sweetness of those four days, and they don't have to get caught up in daily...

    "The Bridge of Madison County" is a very eye-catching film in 1995. The film has attracted wide attention from audiences and critics for its discussion of extramarital love affairs and its manifestation of middle-aged people's psychological emotions. The plot of the film is very simple, but the emotional expression in it is very delicate, reflecting the director's outstanding mastery ability and the actor's profound knowledge. The film...

    Movie quotes

    • Francesca: Robert, please. You don't understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you're expected move again only you don't remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you.

      Robert Kincaid: But now that you have it...

      Francesca: I want to keep it forever. I want to love you the way I do now the rest of my life. Don't you understand... we'll lose it if we leave. I can't make an entire life disappear to start a new one. All I can do is try to hold onto to both. Help me. Help me not lose loving you.

    • Robert: The old dreams were good dreams; they didn't work out, but glad I had them.

    • Robert Kincaid: I don't want to need you, 'cause I can't have you.
