Westerners seem to have always had a tendency to self-exile, especially British gentlemen. Don't you see the male protagonist in Constant Gardener covering his ears and desperately planting flowers and grass after hearing his wife's affair. This is psychological exile. The Mr. Fane here chose to be vaccinated, which is considered a behavioral exile. If this happened to the Italians, it is estimated that it is a replica of Balzac's "family revenge". It has nothing to do with fornication. A friend of mine, who is alive and well, suddenly abandoned his family and went to China to develop his second spring. And he's half British. Therefore, beauties who are attracted to British gentlemen must beware of their sudden wandering complex.
I suspect that with his sensitive and fragile mind, Maugham had long recognized Gauguin's comrade who ran to the desert island, so he conceived the image of the spiritual tramp in such a crowd. Perhaps, in the novel, Mr. Fane had a taste of Prince Andrew very early on, and was nowhere to be found in the social feasting.
At first, the storyline seemed familiar. Marriage, love, a well-mannered and well-mannered crowd, Watts' exquisite facial features, careful use of lighting and scenery, make people mistaken for Merchant Ivory's new work. Women like ivory towers, right and left.
Norton, as always, had a sullen look on his boyish face. Perhaps the previous characters related to split personality were too successful and were typed by us. However, in a few scenes, it was revealed by chance, and the figure was still like a child, clean, white and tender, with the embarrassment on his face, reminiscent of the first night of a boy, and even more concealed. Wanna get in. . . This film is a big hit! And Watts' figure seems to have only the impression of being skinny.
The real protagonist, the landscape scroll of Guilin unfolds impressively. As a Chinese, it is gratifying to see that foreigners also appreciate and appreciate this unique and picturesque beauty. Congratulations to the head of the Guangxi Tourism Department. As a Chinese, my attention is drawn to the scenery and memories of Guilin, more or less ignoring the story and characters themselves.
In fact, it is difficult to tell the objectivity of the storyline. The attitude of ordinary people to natural and man-made disasters may not be the same, nor is the intervention of the Nationalist government. Just remember that all this noise is just a background for the love and ups and downs of a handsome couple. Strip the background and turn Guilin into Kenya, and the effect is roughly the same throughout the film.
But still thank them for choosing Guilin. An English gentleman and a slender lady sit on the bamboo raft, among the beautiful rocks in the beautiful caves. Behind this fantastic Theme Park are peasants holding bamboo rafts, plague, death and revolution. Honestly, who likes watching the security office in Disney?
