      I read the novel the year before, but I insisted on reading it
      and then searched for the film. At that time, I was so excited that I almost fainted when I saw the lineup of Ralph and julianne,
      but verycd was too slow, so I never saw it...

      Love doesn't disappear because we can't meet

      Love, starting from the Garden of Eden, love is the forbidden fruit, and there is no cure.

      Pure lust is short-lived, and must and must cool down into something that can be reconciled with everyday life.

      From strangers to acquaintances to love. What remains is a good reverie for the future.

      When in love, they don't know. When they finally found out, they were gone.

      Only by daring to accept truer love can we hold on to the beauty in our hearts without being destroyed...

      The Eternal Love

      Love.

             We are always looking. what is love? what kind of love? Why do you need love? I don't know, never know. Maybe I never found it, maybe I brushed past it, or I gave up, or I buried it in my heart. Sarah finds love. Find it, grab it, let it go, let it pass, just because of a promise. Promise is a sacred word, and we always think twice before saying it, because we all know that promises must be fulfilled. But unfortunately, here in The End of the Affair, it is destined to be...

      existence of existence

      What, let yourself leave each other.

        Unknown to him, hidden miracles.

        Maybe things are often too simple, maybe this world is not against black and white.

        Life, or God, often makes suggestive behaviors, misses, reunites, if there is a chance to tell each other sincerely, you can forget the bitterness of regret.

        Jealousy, but let each other, swallow up the words they want to say.

        Leave only fantasies, and an if.

        Promise, will...

      The story is American-style, secretly taboo, and affectionate; the narrative is British-style, restrained and refined, and tactful and unique. Moore's gentle style, and Fiennes' flamboyant agitation, are very consistent. What mystical romanticism - really mysterious and romantic, sui...

      The adaptation of the famous book, the dialogue is excellent! "I measure my love by the extent of jealousy, and as my jealousy is infinite, my love should be infinity too" PS: Does Ralph Fiennes dare to show that he is in love with someone else's wife? Every time I love it, I can't wait to meet the unmarried...

      The ending was rather embarrassing. [The English husband who ran into the cheating said embarrassedly, I came back to get an umbrella, and then hurriedly exited the door] Ralph Fiennes' cheating film (English patient, reader, this film), his passion always hurts women; and JeremyIrons 's cheating films (Lolita, Madame Butterfly, Damage), always selfless and...

      Are you worried about losing yourself in the final original? Does the director really think he is better than the original author? It's outrageous that a good story can be so...

      It's a battle of loving God or loving the one you love, not a lover-husband battle at all. Of course, God won the victory, so I can understand the anger and helplessness of the lover, who can compete with God. He poured his anger on the pastor and even loved the woman of God. He never hated her husband. For those who do not believe in God, religion...

    Evaluation action

    For a story about illicit sex and the love, deceit, and jealousy that engenders, it's a particularly mild romance. However, the film's rendition, while beautiful and thoughtful, lacks passion. The mood of the film seems right: dank, sometimes blitzkrieg raging — all the more that an adulterous hug, stolen in a downpour, looks so good   . (Austin Chronicle review)
    The film is as ugly as Henry Miles' face in the first scene, the...

    • Sarah: Are you on a new book?

      Maurice Bendrix: Of course.

      Sarah: It's not about us, is it? The one you threatened to write?

      Maurice Bendrix: A book takes a year to write. It's too hard work for revenge.

      Sarah: If only you knew how little you had to revenge.

      Maurice Bendrix: I'm joking. We are adults. We knew it had to end some time. Now we can have lunch and talk about your husband.

    • Maurice Bendrix: You have to understand. I'm jealous of everything that moves. I'm jealous of the rain!

    • Maurice Bendrix: I am a jealous man.
