A kiss is enough

The first time I knew A room with a view was from EM Forster's text. The teacher said that she had a male classmate in college and wanted to marry a girl like Lucy. After reading the Chinese translation of "A Room with a View" in a daze, maybe it was Forster's style, or maybe it was an incompetent translation. I just felt that the rhythm was abnormally slow and boring to the point of suffocation.
The movie is much better. Although the rhythm is slow compared to Hollywood, there is an indescribable grace in it. I can hardly recognize Helena 25 years ago, with big eyes and sweet appearance, how could she be the crazy and cruel Bella who killed her cousin Sirius in Harry Potter, the soulful black shop in "Sweeney Todd" The proprietress, Alice in Wonderland, is the Queen of Hearts who beheads at every turn. It was not until she finally rebelled, broke free from the etiquette of cannibalism, and eloped with Gorge, that she understood where the Gothic style in the future came from. I can't help laughing, a good Tim Burton~ The young British old ladies are also very good~ I
like men like Gorge, who are taciturn but have a mind and a brain, not pretentious, nor rhetoric, only in affectionate A deep kiss is attached between the flowers. In contrast, Cecil has become extremely clumsy and ridiculous. Like the forbearing male protagonists written by Victorian novelists, Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, Nightly in Emma, ​​Thornton in North and South, Gorge Emerson is already an Edwardian version~
Favorite confession of him: He's the sort who can't know anyone intimately, least of all a woman. He doesn't know what a woman is. He wants you for a possession, something to look at, like a painting or an ivory box. Something to own and to display. He doesn't want you to be real, and to think and to live. He doesn't love you. But I love you. I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and feelings, even when I hold you in my arms. It's our last chance...

Surely, we all need to grab our own chance, to love.
