      The actor's excellent acting skills and the smooth storyline, even if it is not very moving, it is complete

      "The Edge of Love" was originally called "The Best Time of Our Lives" in the UK. The Edge of Love is a bit more special. The latter is a bit like "The Best Years of Our Lives" in 1946 (the golden age).

      Directed by John Maybury, written by Sharman Macdonald.

      I haven't heard many reviews before watching it. Not a single compliment. I was thinking before booking tickets online, whether to book this movie or the comedy "Made of Honor". Finally, on Rotten As soon as the Tomatoes...

      films about women's friendship

      I originally watched this movie because I liked Dylan Thomas' poetry, but the real core of the movie is this rare friendship between the two women in Thomas's life. Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller's captivating performances are a highlight of the film. When men are unreliable, in fact, women support each other is king. The important characters in this film are imperfect characters trying to survive the war. The focus of the film is not on the ugliness of war but on the ugliness between people...

      The edge of love

      Keira Knightly is femme fatale. Murphy's blue eyes are also very charming. The only dislike is the way Dylon is presented. The film's portrayal of him is very superficial and thin, and it does not show the childlike nature and sweet and charming side of a poet at all, so I can't understand why the two heroines are fascinated by him. His vulnerability and heartbreak, hurt without knowing it, and the cruelty involved in his stubborn selfishness, I have not seen any of these.

      Both women...

      nice movie!

      See I am TM angry! ! ! !
            Dylan's character reveals all the scumbag qualities of promiscuity, selfishness, arrogance, despicableness and so on all the time in the film!
            I have both my first love and my wife, and I go out to find a woman and shamelessly say to the person who loves me, "I am a writer, and I need to reflect life."
            He has nothing but sex and a bunch of pompous poetry, which in my opinion is just a bunch of lies. The confused two women are in love...

      It's one thing to love, it's another to share a loved one. The thing about biopics is that you can't criticize the story for being unreasonable because it has happened so unreasonably. All my thoughts after watching this film are: 1. I can't understand love in the context of war. I can't even feel it. Two, Keira Knightley dew point, it is completely...

      In the end, I think it should be about friendship. Men are very fragile, or the world has given them too many missions, so they are the ones who believe in them in the...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The grandparents of producer Rebecca Grabison are the prototypes of Vera Phillips and William Kirrick in the film.
    When Shaman Macdonald was creating the script, he envisaged his daughter Keira Christina Knightley to play his wife Caitlin; but Knightley played the lover Vera in the movie.
    Keira Christina Knightley, who is not good at singing, made her debut in front of the screen for the first time in the film, and sang the song "Blue...

    Evaluation action

    The film was the most successful in the first half of the film. The director portrayed the war-torn and complicated London from the interesting side, and to a large extent showed a good time. But this frivolous courage and drunken challenge to the impending tragedy cannot last long. The quadrilateral relationship of love must collapse like any complex relationship, and it is here that the film becomes muddy. Despite the interesting and...

      Caitlin MacNamara: When's William get back?

      Vera Phillips: I keep writing. No word.

      Caitlin MacNamara: Think he's dead?

      Vera Phillips: We're still getting his pay. The army wouldn't pay a dead man.

      Caitlin MacNamara: You'll have to stop singing.

      Vera Phillips: I'll sing if I want.

      Caitlin MacNamara: They won't let you. Not pregnant they won't.

      Vera Phillips: I can't do this. I can't. A mother, me, look at me!

      Caitlin MacNamara: Get rid of it then.

      Vera Phillips: It's William's.

    • Caitlin MacNamara: My first was Augustus John. He seduced me when I was 15 the old goat. It doesn't mean anything, fucking. It isn't love. I get an itch, it's gotta be scratched. I do it myself when I'm too lazy. Why bother when you can get someone else to do it for you?

      Vera Phillips: Nothing to do with love, fucking?

      Caitlin MacNamara: Uh-uh. Nothing. Who was your first?

      Vera Phillips: [Innocently] What?

      Vera Phillips: I only want it as a memory. I don't want it back.

      Caitlin MacNamara: Does William know? Don't ever tell him. I can forgive the past, he won't. The past I can forgive.

      Vera Phillips: You're warning me.
