After watching the movie some time ago, I was so excited that I thought about the beginning and the end of the movie review. In the end, I saw a god-level film review on the post bar, which made my feelings clear. Although I really admire the author's beautiful and tender language and clear thinking, I really feel like I'm being rushed to my throat, and I feel uncomfortable. .
After reading the novel, I have the confidence to write a review. Decided to skip reading any book reviews and movie reviews and try to write my own.
First of all, I have to say that the "Maurice" movie is the most faithful movie I've ever seen, bar none. All the chronological sequences, language actions, screen scenes, and plot settings are exactly the same. As far as I can remember, apart from the passage of a reading lesson that needs to be added to make the plot smooth, Maurice's hair color is different from the description in the book. The biggest change is probably the description of Clive in the second half.
Indeed, the author also mentioned in the closing notes that "Clive is getting worse and worse, and I'm afraid I'm becoming more and more indifferent to him" "This may be unfair to Clive" "In the last chapter, he got my last whip" , Forster did not want to cast aside Clive, nor did he intend to belittle him. From any point of view, Clive still advocates human nature and obeys his heart. At least when he gradually found that he fell in love with women again and hated the same sex, he did not choose to deceive Maurice, he would not even be glad that he had returned to "normal", trying to rely on his own thinking ability to return to the original one. state. Yet any attempt to go against his will is vulnerable, and in a sense he is the book's most tragic character. Reminds me of Dorian Gary again. After the first indulgence, he found that his youthful love for Ciby was gone, and she was no longer beautiful in his eyes. Whether Dorian or Clive, experiencing such a spiritual change, the death of love, must be a painful struggle. Clive's syncope explained everything, he cried, even if it wasn't the injured party, when he foresaw that this Platonic emotion that he had been pursuing in the budding Cambridge would be buried by his own hands, he cried and fell ill. "How did we end up like this." There is no sentence more pathetic than that.
Personally, I think the movie just made up for Forster's regret for Clive, adding Lesly's role as appropriate, making Clive's retreat to giving up all justifiable, and making Clive's polite and slick politician's appearance behind the endless reflection. sad reality.
The best moments were in Cambridge, when Maurice's hands habitually stroked Clive's hair. Clive turned around in surprise. The two embraced experimentally, clinging to each other. Then Clive stopped Maurice. "You've read the Symposium, you should understand—"
"Understand what?"
"I love you!"
At that time, Clive's eyes shone brightly. [Hugh Grant is so amazing\(^o^)/~~]
So in the end, Maurice disappeared without a trace, Clive looked out the window, saw the green days of the past, and saw Maurice who loved him hazy Beckoned to him on the Cambridge campus, bathed in sunlight, with the fragrance and noise of May.
This scene incited countless tears.
"What are you looking at?" His wife pulled him back to reality.
"No, I'm just thinking of a speech." The
film and novel come to an abrupt end at this point.
In the notebook, the author originally intended the ending to be that Aby met two loggers in the green forest two years later. But because "in a few years" will break into Britain, which has been completely changed after the First World War, the tranquility of the green forest will also end here. So, should we be thankful for this war? After all, "No, I'm just thinking of a speech" is much more intriguing, isn't it.
Clive's Platonic love in the movie is a victim of reality, then Scudder and Maurice's love is the perfect unity of soul and flesh. Thanks to Forster, "arranging a happy ending is an absolute necessity". Would rather not be published must be HE! = = The kind-hearted he gave the novel a gorgeous HE and also gave the novel a positive meaning for the world.
Scudder's appearance has been paved with layers of foreshadowing, paving a ray of sunshine on the gray lovelorn plot. In fact, Scudder was like a ray of sunshine to Maurice, who shared everything with him as soon as he appeared. Even though they are not from the same class, they are equal and sacrifice each other for each other. Compared with Clive, the love with Scudder is more ups and downs - Maurice's heart has been broken once, with constant suspicion and doubt, inferiority and conceit. Scudder's love, however, is simple and direct, and lovable. "You'd better meet me - otherwise, I'll tell you to walk around." Such playfulness and rudeness made people laugh. [Scudder is Xiaoshou, please = =] Those piercing brown eyes stared at him, pure love, deep into the soul.
I don't like the Chinese translation of the movie title - "Morris' Lover", vulgar and pretentious. "Maurice" should not have any emotional color, his growth, whether it is degenerate or sublimated, you can listen to it.
"Faith is always right. It's right and always right. Every man has some kind of belief in the depths of his heart for which he can give his life. But will it be your parents and guardians? What about you? If you have faith, should it be a part of your own body and soul? You have to prove to me that you have faith. Stop selling 'Jesus Atonement' or 'Trinity'. "Clive said
Maurice: "I have given up the Trinity."
Clive and Maurice in Cambridge were each other's beliefs. What Maurice teaches us is to love fearlessly. This is the teaching of the "Greek Holy Team", homosexuals [bah bah bah, all humanity! = =] life and soul.
If there is faith, it is love.
