In the movie, after Katie derailed, Walt once hated her, but since Katie entered the monastery to help, his thoughts gradually changed.
Katie was playing cheerful songs in the piano classroom. The children happily jumped and screamed. Walt walked by the door and stopped to watch. Here Walter began to forgive Katie.
Under the soft light, Katie mended her clothes, and Walt was reading the book and chatting. Walter smiled and said, "I think you are right. We are too stupid to find the qualities that the other party lacks." At this moment, they completely reconciled.
Katie was surrounded by the protesting students and was in danger. Walt flew over to protect her and hold her hand. At this moment, she probably fell in love with him.
In the evening, after the two returned from Wartington's house, they blended physically and mentally; the next morning, she was holding a parasol, leaning on him, sitting on a boat, and enjoying the picturesque scenery of the countryside.
Katie is pregnant, and the baby may be Charlie's. Although Walt was disappointed and sad, but after hesitating, he said that this is not important now. He hugged Katie and expressed acceptance. Katie is totally in love with Water.
Walter was unfortunately infected with cholera. When he was sober, he asked Katie to forgive him for taking her to Meitan Mansion and forgiving himself for wanting to kill her.
Although Walt died in the end, it is not a tragedy relative to fiction.
In the end, he finally got his wish. Just as Katie's childish song when she left Meitan Mansion: "I love you will never be forgotten."
A few years later, Katie took Little Water to the flower shop in London, where Water once proposed to her. Katie took a rose and said, "It looks a little stupid. They withered in less than a week. They are not worth it. What do you think?"
Little Water said, "I think they look good."
Yeah, although Short, but beautiful, it is worth it, like the love between Katie and Walter.
Walking out of the flower shop and meeting Townsend again, Katie greeted her politely and peacefully, then turned and left, without nostalgia.
The general plot of the movie and the novel are consistent; the attitudes and emotions of the two change smoothly; the beautiful rural scenery and the picture of the sun passing through the mist are also what I imagined...
But this is not Maugham's "veil." The title of the movie "The Veil" has lost its inner meaning.
Maugham talks about life, ideals, humanity, meaning, and value in the book, which is a bit heavy; relatively speaking, the movie is just a bitter romance, very relaxed.
In the novel "The Veil", Katie never fell in love with Walt from beginning to end; and Walter did not let go of his resentment from the moment he knew his wife was cheating until death.
At the beginning of the novel, Walt was a man of high morals, integrity, rationality, and single-minded wisdom; while Katie was a foolish woman with a mere appearance, vanity, and simple mind.
At this time, Walt loves Katie hopelessly and humblely and embraces everything about her. Although he knew that she married herself not because of love, but to marry earlier than her sister and to stay away from her mean mother.
Katie had an affair with Charlie because of her stupidity. Walter was very angry when she found out. He thinks he is a good person, and Katie is an ungrateful mad dog.
After that, the good man Water began to grow venom in his body. He was occupied by hatred. In order to torture her and even kill her, he risked losing his life and forced her to go to Meitan Mansion with himself.
Therefore, he is not as he confessed to Katie, no matter what kind of person Katie is, he loves her unconditionally.
In Meitan Mansion, Katie slowly changed.
Thousands of people died, the spirit of selfless dedication of the nuns in the monastery, the fantastic scenery, and the help of the monastery... All this made Katie realize that she was superficial and stupid before and allowed her to grow up slowly. , Healed, become happy and fulfilled.
Water rescued the patients in Meitan Mansion regardless of their own safety. Katie was moved by this great and noble spirit. When the nuns praised him, she would feel proud, but she still didn't love him.
She was full of curiosity about the spiritual world of the nuns, and full of curiosity about the Manchu women of Wattington. She began to search for inner peace, love, and the meaning of life.
Katie reformed, and after letting go, she hoped that Walt would forgive her, but not for her, but for Walt himself. But Walter couldn't forget the past. Because he not only hates Katie who betrayed him, but also hates himself humble and humiliated in love.
Katie is pregnant, and the child is likely to be Townsend. This finally became the last straw that overwhelmed Walt. He could no longer bear it, and deliberately cut himself in the treatment, contracted the virus, and ended his life.
When Walt was lying on the hospital bed, his heart was full of resentment. As Katie saw when she went to see him for the last time: "It seems that at this moment his soul has become a flapping moth, and both wings are heavy with resentment."
Katie begged Walter's. Forgive, but not for myself, but for Walt to leave this world easily without resentment. At this time, Walter suddenly awakened when he was dying, so he said, "It is a dog who is dead."
"It's a dead dog" from Goethe Smith's "Elegy." To the effect that a good-hearted person adopted a dog, but one day, the dog suddenly bitten people madly. Everyone condemned the mad dog who didn't know good and bad, and thought that this good man would be injured and died, so they sighed; but in the end, the man did not die, but the dog died.
Walt thought he was a good person, but in fact he was corroded by hatred, and his body was full of poison; he thought Katie was an ungrateful mad dog, but Katie completed self-salvation in the hell of the earth at Meitan Mansion.
Watt's death is to Katie, just as Katie's mother's death is to her father. Although they regretted, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Their death allows the father and daughter to start a new life, which is completely different from the previous, true and meaningful life.
The movie "The Veil" is to pour a city to complete the love of two people; the novel "The Veil" is to pour a city to let Katie lift the veil of life and find the true meaning of life.
