her life

Covered Bridge's Last Dreams, a 1995 movie, I just watched it for the first time on the movie channel today. In love with this no-frills story, Meryl Streep is an unusual actor. Watching her role as the devil and then coming back to watch her emotional drama is a different experience. The ruthless devil in New York is in this life, and the housewife in Adel town is her past life. Only she can play this role, a woman with forbearance and surging emotions in her heart. Seeing the last photojournalist saying goodbye in the rain, the heroine was sitting in her husband's car. Her husband saw Robert's car in front and said: This car seems to have traveled a lot, but it still has a Washington license plate. Streep's inner monologue at this point: 8 days ago, he did the same thing, leaning over to clean up the things on the car seat, touching my leg; 7 days ago I bought a date wear with him in town The dress... The heroine wakes up from the memory when the husband honks the horn. Robert's car in front diverted away, and the sound of the car twisting was harsh, like the sound of a person's heart being torn apart.
The calmest expressions have a stronger effect, and the above snippet is. Later life was as quiet as water, and no one knew that such a story happened in her life. This story has some similarities with "Brokeback Mountain", and it reminded me of a description in Murakami's "Listen to the Wind" : On the night my grandmother died, the first thing I did was reach out and gently close her eyelids. At the same time, the dream she had cherished for 79 years passed like a summer shower on the sidewalk, leaving no trace.
There is also a place at the beginning of the film. The heroine said that her hometown is Bari, Italy. She came to the United States to pursue her dream. She lived on a farm in the United States for decades. The hometown of the protagonist is from Italy to Greece. I saw the beautiful scenery there, so I jumped off the train. To be able to tell such details is like a worm in her stomach. No wonder she loves him so much. Speaking of the heroine Italy's hometown, as I know it, is a port city that must be passed through from Italy to Greece. Because of my work relationship, I also found someone to buy a ferry ticket from the heroine's hometown to Greece, so I found it very interesting.
The United States in 1965 is the background era of the story, from Streep's clothes to her family's arrangement, As well as the radio stations and music that people loved to listen to at that time, I can feel some flavors of the 1960s. Now I can only experience that beautiful era from the movies.
The film also embodies a theme, the heroine's life in the countryside has obliterated her girlhood dreams, life has become trivial, washing the family's clothes, chatting with housewives who come to visit has become her current life, Italian The hometown has become a symbol, but Robert can see the place where she lived when she was young, and she can see her heart like a secret, thus awakening her.
