I watched "The Painted Veil" two days ago, and it's still the kind of cool-toned love that reminds me of Cold Moutain. The background is all war, and it is also a beautiful scenery, but Painted feels closer to Chinese history, and you can better understand every beautiful picture. In the pictures depicting the scenery, "Cold Mountain" outlines the poignant beauty, while "The Veil" emphasizes the plain beauty without modification.

In contrast, though, the love story between the two, Cold Mountain's, is purer and purer, free from any constraints, not even war. At first sight, there is no more mutual understanding, but persistent love will always be admired by people. With this insistence, he collided with the cruelty of war. The war was intact, and the love was extremely miserable. Another translation of the film, "Reincarnation of Love," So far, the film's goal has been accomplished.

The love in "The Veil" is more rational; it is the love experienced in bondage; it is mature love; and responsibility and love are combined into one love. The heroine gradually matures under the toleration and understands the responsibility of love and the love of responsibility, which is more valuable. I love that line from the old nun and the heroine: "This is what we should understand." The old nun-Dr. Fane told me he wanted you to leave, but you would not.

Ms. Fane I didn't want to leave you. The old nun-yes,and we appreciate it dear child. but I think you did not want to. I left him too. Ms. Fane Well,it's my duty. The old nun-duty is only washing your hands when they are dirty. I fell in love when I was 17 with God. A foolish girl with romantic notions about the life of a religious person. But my love was passionate. Over the years, my feelings have changed . He is disappointed in me. ignored me. We've settled into a relationship of peaceful indifference.

The old husband and wife who sit side by side on the sofa but rarely speak. He knows I will never leave him. It is my duty to do this. But when love and duty become one, then grace is within you. The film has no grievances, only the most earthy praises, and is shrouded in the mist of the Yangtze River. So far, love is sublimating.
