In fact, it should have been thought a long time ago that such a profound thing must be written by everyone, but I didn't think it was Maugham. In fact, how many people can write Chinese style well, Pearl Buck, Somerset Maugham, Brecht...

Many kinds of thoughts converge, and the human spirit will eventually be washed away in pure nature. , become beautiful and bright, oh, beautiful and lovely heroine, who has the heart to blame her?

There should be no more helplessness, enough, because it's not important anymore, is it?

When love and duty are one , then grace is within you!

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

  • Laurie 2022-03-22 09:01:54

    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'd like to press on, if you don't mind.

    Kitty Fane: Surely my comforts are no concern to you.

  • Walter Fane: Do you like flowers?

    Kitty Fane: Not particularly, no. Well, I mean yes, but we don't really have them around the house. Mother says, "Why purchase something you can grow for free?" Then, we don't really grow them either. It does silly really. To put all that effort into something that's just going to die.
