Advantages: The plot is basically in line with the original, and the classic quotations have lines.

Constraints: Movie duration is limited

1. I don't know if it is an aesthetic difference or not, and I am not very satisfied with the casting of the actors.

For the so-called "handsome and beautiful", there is no way to get the face, and the age group cannot be clearly distinguished by the facial features (the young Fermina does not look like a 16-year-old; the father's appearance does not look like an elder compared to Urbino. age).

2. The plot develops too fast, which may distort the plot.

For example, it took Ariza a long time to get close to Fermina to accept his letter at first, rather than immediately accepting the latter's pursuit.

The Chinese won the first prize of poetry not because of the shady, but because the immigrant Chinese also understand Latin American culture and have high literary attainments.

3. Some details are missing, and some scene transitions are blunt.

For example, "eggplant", when Fermina was young, he hated eating eggplant, so he said to Ariza, "I can marry you, as long as you don't let me eat eggplant". Then, after tasting the "eggplant dish" by chance, I started to like "eggplant", so I named my child "Eggplant Urbino".

Fermina suddenly questioned whether Urbino cheated, and did not describe the details of the latter's cheating, but in fact, Urbino's inner activities during the cheating in the book were very rich and representative.

Love in the Time of Cholera quotes

  • Florentino Ariza: [Surprising her in her house] Fermina I have waited for this opportunity for 51 years, nine months and four days. That is... how long I have loved you from the first moment I cast eyes on you un... until now.

    Fermina Urbino: Florentino Ariza... get out of here! Get out!

    Fermina Urbino: [cut to Ariza reading a letter from Fermina while we hear her words:] Florentino Ariza, you are a dreadful, insensitive human being. How dare you enter my house on the day my beloved husband died and utter such monstrous, ridiculous sentiments? You have put me in a mortal rage, which has caused me to think about you without wanting to. Do you understand? I do not want to think about you. Stay out of my life.

  • Florentino Ariza: [closing scene, in bed together, but clothed] I love you, my crowned goddess. We're going to stay like this.

    Fermina Urbino: You can't mean it.

    Florentino Ariza: From the moment I was born, I have never said anything I did not mean.

    Fermina Urbino: [exhales, almost trembling] And how long do you... you think we can... stay like this?

    Fermina Urbino: Forever.

    Fermina Urbino: Forever?

    Florentino Ariza: [cut to view of the sun-lit boat anchored in the midst of the river] After 53 years, seven months and 11 days and night, my heart was at last fulfilled. And I discovered, to my joy, that it is life and not death that has no limits.
