——When
I saw the poster, I wanted to laugh a little bit. Not only did the overall effect look strangely magnificent, but Charlie in the story also became inappropriately beautiful. I'm disappointed that Julianne Moore didn't get fat and didn't wear a gaudy contrast top and a rustic Mexican maxi dress, she's standing behind Colin Firth in the poster, elegant, gentle, and even looking a little London Her self-confidence and pride are really not like the middle-aged woman written in the book who was abandoned by her husband and son one after another, and was immersed in tobacco and alcohol all day long.
Fortunately, Colin Firth is the George I imagined. From the moment he appeared on the scene, he corresponded to the man in the book, "His black clothes are neat and flawless, and his white shirt and tie are foreign objects that refuse to conform to the common." The ice, and Jim, or the memories of when he was with Jim, was a chisel beneath the ice, ready to break it all at any moment, at any moment.
As he drank coffee, he remembered that "Breakfast with Jim was one of the best times they had together"; and as he looked out into the patio, he saw Jim and their old family that he called "those The pet of the stingy little villain; he went to climb a mountain, and in his head was the conversation they once stood on the top of the mountain; he went shopping, and he remembered that they were arguing about what brand of food to buy.
He even went to see his dying rival, Jim's dewy lover who had traveled to Mexico with him, just to see more Jim-related things. Although this scene was omitted from the movie, when I read that scene in the novel, the sadness and disappointment were almost palpable.
God knows why Colin Firth always plays gay, but he plays it well, and the pent-up sadness and heartbreak are just right for him. He's smiling, but you think there's something heavy that keeps him from laughing more happily, he's talking, but he's not really into it, he's impassioned in class, but he's not really about everything really care. He always hopes that he can let go of his relationship with Jim, work hard to live, and work hard to love others again. "He believes that he will find another Jim here. He doesn't know something, and he has begun to look for it."
He believed he could find it, because he had to find it.
In the movie he chooses to die and prepares everything, including leaving his last words to tie the tie he was buried with in a Windsor knot. But he was still struggling, consciously or not, he chatted with a street guy from Spain, smoking a cigarette he had not smoked for 16 years, he talked with his lovely students, he had dinner with Charlie, he Go to the bar where he met Jim, he was drowning by jumping into the sea with his young students like an old lunatic, and he drank to the point of unconsciousness.
He lives and lives in the present because the past is useless and death is the future for all.
He woke up at three o'clock in the morning and saw his student lying on the sofa, sleeping peacefully like a child, he picked up the other's slipped blanket, and saw the other's hiding next to the young man's bare smooth skin, he had planned to A gun for suicide.
He smiled, locked the gun in the drawer, and threw the letter for the maid and Charlie into the fire in the fireplace. He had never felt so relaxed and calm, though the moment could not last forever. He was pulled back to reality by them, and when he felt that he should live, an artery in his head burst quietly.
He fell, twitching, his vision blurred. He had lost most of his senses, but he still knew that someone was coming towards him.
It was Jim, dressed in formal clothes, looking as young and handsome as he had been sixteen years ago, and he leaned down and placed a kiss on the corner of George's mouth.
Is that what he looked like when he was buried? No one knew that George didn't go to Jim's funeral.
The story ends when the body named George loses its breath, which I admit is more dramatic, the last five minutes of turning like a wall fell from the sky, unhappy but impressive. But I know it's not better or worse than that ending with a hint of light, and if I could, I'd rather have another ending in my heart for this story.
It was a very small sentence in the book, interspersed in a large section of self-disclosure. When Jim left George and Doris to travel to Mexico, he returned to the United States.
He went back to his and George's home and said, she's so disgusting, and said, it's not an example.
They looked at each other, pursed their lips, the forgiven knew they had been forgiven, the waiting knew they still had it.
