"A Room with a View" is adapted from the novel of the same name by EM Foster. The British are always very good at filming these kinds of films adapted from the famous works of their own country, whether it is all the six works of Jane Austen during his lifetime or Elizabeth Gaskell's "Pretty Fairy", or Charles Dickens's famous works, etc. , All can be called classics. And every few years there will be a remake. In this regard, I very much appreciate the importance the British attach to their own literary and artistic works. Going back to this film, unlike the seriousness of most British classical literature, the film has a lot of comedy effects in it, and the film is titled with various paragraphs just like the novel. Give it a strong flavor of English literature. In addition, the actor's strong British accent is very unique, coupled with Italian classical architecture and the beauty of the British countryside is even more worth seeing. Therefore, even for viewers who don't like this kind of subject matter so much, it can be regarded as a love story. Each character in the film has a distinct personality, and each has its own cuteness. The story itself is not complicated. It shows us a story of a heroine who opposes traditional love etiquette and bravely pursues true love.
What is true love? Is it necessary to match each other or just love each other from the heart? The film adopts the gentleman and civilized behavior of the heroine Lucy's fiancé Cecil, but the innermost being empty and boring. It bluntly stated what Lucy said when he decided to dissolve his marriage: "Because you are someone who doesn't understand other people's minds, especially you don't know how to figure out the psychology of women." For Cecil, Lucy and his passion Books, art and music are just a part of it, not a woman, a future wife. Although Cecil thought he loved Lucy, it wasn't. How can a person who does not understand love fall in love with another person? Similar to Cecil, a cousin who is very different from Lucy, an old girl Charlotte, from the beginning of dissatisfaction with George who met Lucy in Italy to the change of attitude at the end, reflects the spirit between Lucy and George Good match. Although George was not born a nobleman, he was optimistic and cheerful about life, and he knew what kind of love Lucy needed, and he was the one who could give her such love. With the help of his father and his unremitting efforts, the lovers finally got married. The film ended in a room where they met with a view of the scenery. This is the shot described in the movie poster.
In terms of actors: This film can be described as a gathering of big names, and some of the main actors are still familiar to us in other films. For example, Helena Bonham Carter, the actor of the heroine Lucy, is the wife of the famous Hollywood director Tim Bolton, and has played the leading role in many of Bolton's films. "A Room with a View" was the first work she starred in, when she was 20 years old. Her most recent work is the role of the villain Bellatrix in the well-known "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". From the British lady to the rebellious witch, it can be seen the breadth of the play. Similarly, Cecil's actor Daniel Day Lewis is even more famous. In 1990, he took away the Oscar for Best Actor with a shocking performance by a handicapped writer in "My Left Foot". It is famous for its broad play path and excellent acting skills. I believe people who have watched this film will really know what acting is called. Another one worth mentioning is Maggie Smith, an absolute old drama. You can find her in many films adapted from British classics. I think her younger audience must know her role as Professor McGonagall in the Harry Potter series.
A good movie is inseparable from good music. In terms of music, this movie borrows opera passages and Beethoven and Mozart's classical music as the soundtrack, which is very suitable for the atmosphere of the movie. However, I am really no expert in classical music, so I won't give more introductions, so as not to mislead everyone.
