    MLIFE Veil Design - Part 1

    I received a project from MLIFE to make a veil. As a Norton fan, I am very honored to make the overall design of this set.
     
    I found a lot of materials and started production. I hope that the design can show the beauty of the movie and the emotional interaction between the male and female...

    Surprisingly good

    I didn't hold high expectation for the film when I first watched the moive trailor couple of months ago. I thought it was, like most films, just a movie with stunning sceneries and twisted plots. But as it turns out, it's not the case.

    The development of the film, at first, is plain. A passionless...

    My top 10 movies because of Maugham because of the real cheap and lovely sublime parts of people

    The adaptation of the film polishes the main line of the story into a story of love and forgiveness, but what I understand Maugham is telling is the story of women's awakening; Water's pain and forbearance in the original book are moving and grief-stricken, and have never appeared since then. The warm part of the past is realized in the movie, which is both a comfort and a deficiency. PS: Norton is so charming.

The Painted Veil quotes

  • Walter Fane: I knew when I married you that you were selfish and spoiled. But I loved you. I knew you only married me to get as far away from your mother as possible. And I hoped that one day... there'd be something more. I was wrong. You don't have it in you.

    Kitty Fane: If a man hasn't what's necessary to make a woman love him then it's *his* fault not hers.

    Walter Fane: Either way. Tomorrow morning we are to leave for Mei-tan-fu, or I shall file my petition.

    Kitty Fane: Walter, you can't be serious about taking me into the middle of a cholera epidemic.

    Walter Fane: Do you think that I'm not?

    Kitty Fane: My God. That's what you want isn't it? Do you really think Charlie will let you do this?

    Walter Fane: I don't think Charlie has very much to say about it.

    Kitty Fane: Everything you said is true. Everything. I married you even though I didn't love you. But you knew that. Aren't you as much to blame for what's happened as I?

  • Charlie Townsend: Women are always under the impression that men love them more that they really do.

    Kitty Fane: I wouldn't delude myself for a second that you were in love with me.

    Charlie Townsend: Now there you're wrong.
