when he laughs, the world fears him.
—— Tagore's "The Collection of Birds"
resting at home, watching movies intermittently, reading scattered books, rare peace and rest. Occasionally wake up from sleep, and then buy and cook vegetables, calm and peaceful. Occasionally participate in a friend's wine bureau, passing a boring night, calm and peaceful. "The Edge of Love" (also known as beautiful seduction) hit me who was lazy on an afternoon that covered the autumn day.
A literati's indecent love, entangled in the bed affair between a genius poet and two women, lurks in the calm sea and several exquisite huts, runs through a 1 hour 50 minute movie, "The Edge of Love" ".
The power of love is so great that it can make people forget everything, but it's so small that it can't hold a grain of jealousy.
The background of the story is set in London in the 1940s, in a period of light control, where the flames of war go hand in hand with the joy of bedclothes. The poet Dylan occasionally met Vera, his long-lost first love, in a bar. The two were originally childhood sweethearts. A few years later, Vera became a singer and Dylan married Caitlin, who was daring to act. The deceased meet again and spark again.
Caitlin and Vera became friends, and the everlasting friendship is an important theme to be expressed in the film. The inexplicable relationship between the three people was changed because of a soldier, William.
William was the hapless person who got Vera's body, but when he crawled back from the battlefield that destroyed humanity, he found that his wife Vera and his old lover Dylan rejoiced again, and all his savings were used by this woman for relief. An amorous poet, there is a legend in the town that the father of the two children is also Dylan. Suddenly, everything is inseparable from this lifelong love rival.
An angry killing. William avoided the bullets on the battlefield, but he decided to fight the entanglement. He picked up the gun, slapped his wife hard, and then rushed to Dylan and his friend, a grenade that could destroy the hut. Before it sounded, he heard the baby's cry and his humanity awakened in an instant. With the support of his wife Vera, he went home.
Having escaped the trial, he finally understood that Vera's "I love you" was true. After experiencing the baptism of war and humanity, he finally knew that a peaceful life had returned.
Love is short and forgetting is long.
——Neruda
's twisted romance and tangled love in "The Postman" stem from the loneliness of a poet and two women.
Dylan, a selfish genius, an arrogant genius, a controversial genius, a jealous genius. At the end of the film, he said: Except for the angry moon, I don’t write on the turbulent paper for those who are proud, nor for the great men with nightingales and carols. I only embrace the arms of lovers and theirs. The pain of years.
Such verses make people think of Lawrence, a popular erotic writer, or the lovely "Shakespeare in Love."
However, beautiful verses can only accompany the loneliness of a tramp, just like using a woman to inspire the inspiration of writing a poem. When God always puts a pear in your right hand, he snatches an apple from your right hand. This matter is hard to come by. He has only fingertips to stay away from the smoke, and his personality is still arrogant and unruly.
When the man still yearned to be able to drift in the emotions of a wife and a lover, and still do the fraternity dream of a great poet, Vera deeply stimulated him with a few words. "You just want that 15-year-old girl on the beach to come back to you, not me. You only have stories and verses in your mind, but all I want is reality. William, make me real."
Caitlin, because she dared to act, married Dylan; because she dared to act, she laughed wildly at Dylan peeing on the carpet; because of her daring act, she was brave enough to accept the appearance of the third person, Vera; Dare to do, but to accommodate everything, although in the end like a little bitter woman who swallows her breath.
"I can inspire Dylan, but who will inspire me?" This is the first spiritual dialogue between Caitlin and Vera.
Vera, a singer of temperament, collided with a beautiful first love, collided with the surging heart of a poet, and collided with the anger and warmth of a military husband. Of course, the most important thing is that she collided with her ordinary life.
"Don't let yourself be alone". Vera and Caitlin, when they said goodbye, the two women leaned over the body and said to each other. The movie has ended, a story of the pursuit of freedom is lingering in the mind, and a decision of right and wrong is in the air, hanging in the balance.
The ashes on the sleeves of an old man
are all the ashes left by burnt roses. The dust
hanging in the air
marks the end of a story
-Eliot's Four Quartets
