First of all, from the perspective of the whole structure of the story, it just embezzled the frame of Romeo and Juliet, and only stole a clue to the tragedy of Shakespeare's play. It is really weak to bring out the ancient and lingering topic of love. If this frame is removed, then I won't say anything about the bad filming. On the contrary, this mode makes the whole screenwriter look like a squeeze. There is neither the reservedness and profoundness of the ancients nor the unrestrainedness and madness of modern people. It can be said that there is no characteristic at all, just an illusion that anyone can imagine. Failure! ! ! !
Secondly, as far as the characters are concerned, they are still pale and weak. Let me talk about Claire first. She is just looking for a lover from many years ago. The film only shows such a fact, but does not show the complexity of her heart in particular. Next, Sophie was also lifeless. She just used the clue to help people find someone to highlight her views on love. It was really inadequate, and she looked like a bystander, confused about love, just thinking about it. Only the agent who wants to write. That Charlie is even more inexplicable. His appearance was a complete failure. The first time he appeared, the audience had already guessed the ending of him and Sophie, which means that there is no need to watch the film again. What's more idiot is that I don't know what kind of character he wants to show, it's just a hypocritical manner of the British bourgeoisie. What is even more inexplicable is that after just a few days, he and Sophie can fall in love? The two of them were not in love at first sight, and this ending felt far-fetched, just to reward the audience, because they guessed the ending right.
Finally, the clue to the film, the letter. Uh~~~ It’s just any page in the British woman’s diary 50 years ago. It seems like a poet’s love. An English speaker can write such sentences. It seems to be very affectionate and well written. .
In short, the whole film is vulgar, artificial, far-fetched, and superficial. The effect it wanted to achieve was not achieved, it just carried a hypocritical shell. It is a third-rate work that can be ignored.
