"An Affair to Remember" (An Affair to Remember), produced by Twentieth Century Fox in 1957, starring Cary Grant and Deborah Cole. A 1994 remake of "Love Affair", starring Warren Beatty and Annet Bening.

The film is also the introduction to "Sleepless in Seattle".

The protagonists, Nicky and Terry, are both masters who do not produce and specialize in love, and their future partners will spend money on their travels. In the beginning, the two of them fought frequently on the cruise ship, and they were quite evenly matched. The turning point of the matter was that Nicky took Terry to visit his grandmother when the ship was docking at a French port. In this short visit, both sides showed their natural qualities. Terry was convinced that Nicky was not a legendary playboy, but had a sincere side. Since then, their course has changed. At the moment before the ship arrived, they agreed to meet on the top floor of the Empire State Building in six months, if their feelings could persist until then.

As a result, the two immediately bid farewell to their respective purses and began to earn a living, Nicky sold paintings, and Terry sold singing. When the meeting day came, Nicky was alone on the top floor of the Empire State Building waiting for Terry for a long time, but she didn't know that Terry downstairs was in a car accident because of rushing to make an appointment... When the

two met again in the theater, he did not know, she I didn't intend to tell him, but greeted each other with "hello". Finally, he found her apartment on Christmas Eve, but still didn't have the courage to be honest. He said that he did not attend the appointment, but she said that she had waited for a long time, and the insincere conversation made both of them miserable. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered the paintings he had made for her, and remembered that the agent told him that the paintings were bought by a disabled woman who had no money but understood the paintings. He was shocked and opened her bedroom door abruptly, and found The painting is impressive.

What makes a cruise ship romance permanent?

In the beginning, the two were just trying to test each other, and they were not fully involved. He already has a rich woman waiting for the king to enter the urn, and she is about to marry a merchant's wife, and she is ready to stop. For the two who lack the ability to earn a living, it is the last and best opportunity. But in the limited space-on the cruise ship, it happened to be an opponent and couldn't help but itch. At the same time, the eight women on board made the two more cautious and more challenging. No matter how graceful the dances of the temporary dancers were, when the ship reached the finish line, they would be separated. However, at the moment of stopping in the middle, everything was changed. In that worldly wonderland, accompanied by grandmother's piano playing, she hummed An Affair to Remember, her singing melodiously, missed the people away, and he also paused to release his charm, the two of them washed away their lead, but they were really facing each other. , Mu Ran discovered that it was the most memorable moment.

The sincerity at this moment really lasted for a long time. Not only is it enough for them to give up the pink champagne that they have become accustomed to drinking and return to the battlefield of life, but even if they are frustrated, they will not leave it. This reminds me of the real couple Bai Liusu and Fan Liuyuan in Zhang Ailing’s "Love in the Fallen City", who were thrown together like a dice by fate in the chaos of the war, "...they see each other transparently. It's just a moment. He has a thorough understanding, but this moment is enough for them to live together harmoniously for ten or eight years."

In reality, pure and stubborn love is rare, and it is very extravagant to think about love. Sometimes indulging yourself, indulging in such a movie, and letting the protagonist in the movie realize the impurity-free love on his behalf is also a way. Only in this way, love movies will last forever, and there is always the value of continuous remakes. Like "Sabrina" (Sabrina), "Great Expectations" (Great Expectations). But some classics cannot be copied, like "Casablanca".
