A quiet, shocking British sadness

Some movies are like that. . . You will feel goosebumps all over your body after watching it. . . .
Of course it's not disgusting, but a strong sense of resonance for something in it~~.
That kind of dark emotion gurgled along with the blood flow, spreading to every corner of the body. . . . .

I am someone who is easily moved by silence. . . .

Love the silent roles of colin and scarlett in it. . . . It just so happens that these two are also suitable for people who do not need words to express their roles~~~
Words are often pale, and saying too much will only add to misleading. . . . And this is especially true of artistic expression. . . .
I like women like this. . . . .
No matter what kind of identity, there is a kind of strong dignity in the bones. . .
Maybe the status is low, maybe poor, maybe wronged or misunderstood, but the inside is still stiff and elegant. . . . Whenever and wherever. . .
Like Grete in the film~~ Even if the family is ruined and reduced to a maid, he does not complain at all, and still does what he can do silently and noble. . . . It's just that those artistic breaths are hard to hide. . . Can't be as obsessed with trivial parental gossip as others. . .
But it can be moved by the music and stopped for the paintings. . . . .
People are always different. . . .
Identity was such an important thing in those days. . . . . How many pure and beautiful emotions it kills. . . .

"What color did you say that cloud was?" "White, oh, no, it's yellow, blue, gray..." "It's peacock blue, it's cinnabar red, it's lead white..."
"Why? Move the chair?" "...she seems to be trapped..."

The dialogue between them was so few and brief. . . . It was just an ordinary conversation between a master and a maid. . . . But you can feel repressed emotions permeating. . . .
It's just love and courtesy. . . Is that right?
Nobody wants to make mistakes. . . Although any behavior related to emotion cannot be arbitrarily defined as wrong. . . . .

I love how scarlett finally received the pearl earrings at the end. . . .
If so, the past is not false. . . .

Girl with a Pearl Earring quotes

  • Van Ruijven: So, have you decided what to do up next, Jan? Have you found inspiration up in that room of yours? Is there another patron in Delft with pockets as deep as mine?

  • Vermeer: [Describing his newly arrived Camera Obscura] See this? This is called a lens. Beams of reflected light from that corner pass through it, into the box, so that we can see it here.

    Griet: Is it real?

    Vermeer: It's an image. A picture made of light.

    Griet: Does the box show you what to paint?

    Vermeer: It helps.
