Very sensational, very Chairman Mao

This movie, based on Maugham's novel (I often go to Shanghai restaurants to eat hairy crabs recently, saw Maugham's name and was really stunned), exudes the same old-fashioned taste as Maugham. Maugham, how long ago was the writer? I remembered that there was a female director who remade Zweig's extremely narcissistic and obscenity novel not long ago. Maybe there is nothing new under the sun, so everyone had to rummage and find old things from old writers to shoot.

After the blockbuster "300" hit the bottom line of IQ, "The Veil" can finally be watched, although the plot is still relatively idiotic. The same thing is done: "300" vilifies the Persians, and this one vilifies the Chinese to show off their beauty: beautiful on the outside, selfless on the inside, civilized in manners, great in spirit, and so on.

The scenery is very beautiful, like Guilin;
the Chinese villagers inside, adults and children, are as ugly as they are. I suspect that they are not played by Chinese people, like Vietnamese.
The heroine is said to be the heroine of "Golden Steel". In this movie, she may have a stuffy nose and often can't close her mouth, revealing two rabbits' front teeth. In the backcountry fashion show, do not know how to do it.
The actor, Edward in "Fight club". Norton, there is a scene without clothes in this movie, I can see it clearly, it is actually a shoulder shaved.

The movie is very sensational, very Chairman Mao, - only in impoverished areas, living with the poor, and serving the working people, can people's minds be reformed and become noble; women, only not petty bourgeoisie, not flirting, not rouge pollen, not It is low taste to become a useful person, to find yourself and to find true love.

It's a pity that it was too late, when she found true love, she only slept once, and true love died.
The tragic effect, a bit close to my favorite The English Patient, made me cry.
So, I recommend everyone to check it out.
Crying is good for physical and mental health.

There are so few good people like me.

    China in the eyes of Westerners is well presented in front of the director's camera. China at that time may be poor and conservative, but it still has an irresistible hazy beauty. The lens is restrained, as subtle as the beauty of the East. With the gentle music, the complex emotions of the characters slowly promote the storyline, which is touching. When you found me, I was looking for someone else; when I fell in love with you, you came to the end of my life.

    The poetic landscape, the creaking wooden house, the slight sweat that cannot be resisted by the shaking of the incense fan; the slow bamboo raft, the piano with a poor tone, the hasty and fiery hug in the dim light... I have loved you for a long time, and I will never be able to. forget.

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.
