about nineteenth-century new humans seeking true love at the juncture of social change between old and new The story of liberation tells a different life intertwined by three new human beings:
George undoubtedly took the initiative in this touching love, and his passionate kiss completely ignited the turbulent enthusiasm in Lucy's heart. However, his pursuit is too enthusiastic, too blunt, and has no scruples. If it wasn't for Lucy's smoothness, their love would undoubtedly be overwhelmed by the world's condemnation, and even if they could come together, they would undoubtedly suffer too much.
Lucy is undoubtedly the smartest one, she has fooled everyone, even herself. She never succumbed to the old morality, she just dealt with it with her own tact. Finally, under the guidance of the old Emerson, with his own wisdom and courage, the flower of love between himself and George can bloom differently in such a difficult environment.
Lying,lying,lying... Seeing such words, while blessing Lucy, sighing and her wisdom, I can't help but feel a little helpless in my heart,,,I thought of her cousin Charlotte, who was the same A soul that yearns for liberation, but does not have Lucy's ingenuity, or she faces a more sinister social environment. She has never adapted to this society, she reluctantly chose to compromise with it and lived a bleak life.
It's a love story, a bit of a Jane Austen feel, with a painting-like shot. But just like the traces left by the years on several protagonists, this is more of a story about change.
A Room With A View... A
ray of brilliance of the new century has dispelled the haze of the old society and brought a new life to the dead house.
When three big men unleash their vitality in a small "pond",
when Lucy accuses Cecil of not knowing what democracy is,
when she tells her mother with longing that she is going to London to make money
The morals of the old society are already crumbling.
Compared with Jane Austen, Foster's pen is obviously much sharper. In Jane Austen's novels, it is more of a nostalgia for the good moral sentiments and quiet life of the Victorian society of gentlemen and ladies. And Foster, a writer at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, is undoubtedly more critical from a historical perspective. They wrote their own notes on the same era from different angles.
This is a story about emancipation of the mind. It is interesting to note that Maurice, Foster's work on same-sex love, was written in 1914, but did not meet the world until 1971, after Foster passed away. .
James Ivory and Edward Morgan Foster are undoubtedly a match made in heaven, although they have never met, but check out Ivory's work: "A Room With A View", "Maurice", "Howards End" ""The Golden Bowl"...they all have a name on them: Edward Morgan Foster. This is also a good story in the history of world cinema.
However, Ivory seems to be too loyal to the original work. Although I have not read the original work, I feel that Foster's original work, his torture of the old morality, the nostalgia for the old society and the pursuit of the new world, are all vividly presented. in front of my eyes. Maybe this is all that a literary adaptation can do... But I still feel that it lacks a bit of the unique spirituality of the movie.
