      Can such love still exist in the world?

      The story takes place on a bridge. This is an ordinary bridge, but because of two people, it is doomed to be extraordinary. Mara is a ballet dancer with an outstanding temperament, and her facial features are even more unspeakable. During the First World War, people were panicked, but this group of ballet dancers still had to perform in various places. No one would have thought that the air strike would come so suddenly, just like Roy's appearance. For safety's sake, the people on the...

      perfect love at first sight

      Now it seems to be a simple story that can't be simpler, but such a clichéd love at first sight can still make us cry. Marriage in the war years does not seem to have so many constraints. People can look directly into their hearts and can grasp love bravely, so Roy can decide to marry Mara the day after meeting; but it seems that in that conservative era, there are many There are many helpless and hateful rules and precepts, so Mara can't let go of her sinking past and can only leave silently....

      Soul Broken Blue Bridge

      In fact, the movie has already told a sad ending at the beginning. We meet because of war, and we will also be separated because of war. Because of the war, it is inevitable that soldiers will go to the battlefield. Because of the war, women without shelter are helpless in order to survive.

      When we meet again, you are still as beautiful as when we first met, and I still love you as always. But because of the predicament, I didn't have the courage to be with you. When I saw you, my...

      Eternal Love

      Simple and touching love.
      Looking at Vivien Leigh's joy and sadness, the tears in her eyes, the fierce struggle in her heart, the bright and dim eyes in her eyes, my heart was so tightly tied.
      Undoubtedly, she is the biggest highlight of the movie.

      It's just that I still can't help thinking: If she didn't die but chose to tell him the truth, would he still love her as deeply as ever? The director is really smart, choosing such a beautiful ending, and avoiding the cruelty...

    Piercing lens

    Continuity: At the beginning of the film, Roy got out of the car and wanted to walk across the Waterloo Bridge alone, and ordered the driver to wait for him on the other side of the bridge. The movie started to flash back when he was walking, but in the final shot, they were seen driving across the bridge and then leaving.
    Anachronism: Although the film took place during the First World War before 1920, all the dresses and hairstyles of...

    Movie quotes

    • Myra Lester: How have we been living?

      Kitty: What difference does it make, as long as we live.

      Myra Lester: Where's the money coming from? Where are you getting it?

      Kitty: Where do you think I've been getting it? I was trying to keep it from you, but - well, you know now.

      Myra Lester: You did it for me.

      Kitty: No I didn't! I'd a done it anyhow. C'est La Guerre. No jobs. No boys who want to marry you. Only men who want to kill a few hours, 'cause they know it may be their last.

    • Kitty: We're young and it's - it's good to live. Even the life I'm leading! Though, God knows, it - I've heard them call it the easiest way. I wonder where they thought up that little phrase? I know one thing. It couldn't have been a woman.

      [pause]

      Kitty: I suppose you think I'm dirt.

    • Flower Woman on Bridge: How's luck?

      Myra Lester: No such thing.
