"Guernsey Literature and Potato Peel Pie Club", it was this literary and slurred name that attracted me at first. The film is set in World War II. Although the theme is love, it is by no means confined to books. Love, the story is not strong, but overall it is a warm and sincere movie worth watching for people who like this style.
The story mainly takes place in Guernsey, an island with beautiful scenery. It is nominally a British territory, but it is not directly used as a British territory, but a territory.
Guernsey is not in the United Kingdom, but on an island closer to France. Because it is too close to France, it was quickly occupied by the Germans during World War II, and the Germans basically completely blocked the island. The Germans took all the pigs, and the inhabitants of the island could only feed on potatoes, leading a hard life without food.
Juliet is not very confident in her work. She publishes her work under the name Lzzy. When writing the story of Guernsey, she also worried that she could not write it well. She was always looking for everything she wanted.
In the memories of Juliet's past, you can see Juliet's sadness for losing his family, stroking the broken frame, and desperately grabbing the crystal ball left by his father. It is precisely because of this that made her understand Amelia's pain better on Guernsey, and was able to let the "family" of Guernsey accept her and become a member of this warm family.
Mark's love for Juliet is wealth, "giving" and bondage. The roses given to Juliet can fill a room. For a bedroom, it has surpassed the beauty conferred by the flower itself, and it seems a bit oppressive. But the room was full of flowers, except her desk.
Until I received a letter from Dawsey, the soundtrack changed from noisy to quiet, and the feeling of sympathy slowly entered her heart.
About the ring Mark gave her. Every time Juliet looks at it, he loses his joy in love, and even has a hint of suspicion that it is a "crown-like" existence. When the ring was flipped on the plane, the ring seemed a little loose and inappropriate. Juliet was also thinking about the suitability of this kind of life with the future Mark gave her. When she first arrived in Guernsey, the residents of the island were busy rebuilding their homes after the war. She noticed the poverty of the people here, so she took off this huge and shining diamond ring, and wanted to integrate with them. Pursue freedom consciously.
In Guernsey, Juliet met Dawsey. Although Dawsey was just a "pig farmer", everything he gave her was not restrictive. She could take off her shoes for a walk on the beach, and she was dressed elegantly and holding a piglet as a gift. The flowers are small wild flowers picked by the roadside. You can understand each other without saying a word. Even eating the strange potato crust pie and the gin made by yourself is also happy. The ring that the two wears at the end is also simple and unencumbered. .
The bouquet Mark gave her is bundled, and the seat on the plane is also fastened with a seat belt. He wants to keep Juliet by his side, keep her from his sight, and even put the ring on the ring one second before she leaves on the boat. Put it on Juliet's hand.
War is not only a physical and physical blow, it also leaves a mark on people's spirit. The war ostensibly ended, but the mental trauma caused by the war continued. They refused to tell the story of Elizabeth, and refused to write the story of the club in the Times.
In the club is a group of like-minded people. At first it was an accidental excuse to create the club. In the end, the resonance of the books and the spiritual exchange allowed the club to continue, continuing the lively discussion, like a warm home. , Keep each other warm.
What they need most is the connection and companionship between people, it is friendship. Juliet is free here. She has such a warm family that understands each other, and has a girlfriend like Isola who can talk about the topic of little girls, so that she can find the self she has been looking for here.
Juliet wrote to the club. Unconsciously, I feel that I have been looking for familiar old faces for many years, and I can't explain why I think you are familiar old faces. But I know.
Do you think we belong to someone before we meet them? If so, I belong to you, or you belong to me, or I am subdued by the spirit of you on Guernsey. This is my very good definition of family.
This is a story about a writer listening to his inner voice.
If ever there was someone who earned a happy ending. It was me.
If anyone ever won a happy ending, that person is me.
