Love is first and foremost an instinct.
The only pain that death makes me feel is not being able to die for love.
"Age has no meaning except in the material age."
They were all old, and they were making love for the last time in the cabin, and this shot made my eyes wet. When I was reading, I thought, cholera is a dark line, maybe in the face of war and cholera, love will highlight its greatness regardless of age and material.
Text is transformed into images, and the pattern is naturally limited. This film uses the exact same narrative method as the original, and it took more than two hours to put the whole book into the frame of the scene, which I think has been restored to the greatest extent. It should be said that many details are unsatisfactory. For example, at the beginning, Dr. Urbino fell to the ground and died, and Fermina appeared unnaturally and too deliberately.
The male protagonist is basically in line with the original work. As for the female protagonist, I was completely disappointed when I first saw it. She did not have the arrogance and elegance that Fermina should have in her ideal. But when I looked back, I found that Giovanna's eyes showed that kind of arrogance and grace, but her actions and demeanor lacked an elegance. Some people complain that the old age makeup is too fake. Isn't that Fermina in the original book, always young? In addition, the most moving part of this film is the hazy and detailed landscape pictures, which make people sigh and are extremely beautiful.
Let's end with Tagore's poem:
- When the market closes, they set out on their way home in the twilight,
I sit by the roadside watching you drive your boat,
cross the black water with the sunset on your sail,
I see you Silent figure, standing at the helm,
suddenly I feel your eyes staring at me;
I leave my song and call you to take me through the transition.
