The story of this movie is very simple and almost clichéd. Two men and women who have been engaged to each other (and both have been on the battlefield) met on a luxury cruise ship, developed feelings, and changed their life trajectories. When we watch this movie, A question is hanging in the air, how to make two people react in a short journey, and then make a decision that will change their lives. If this problem cannot be solved satisfactorily, and the director insists on using the so-called lightning to penetrate the two of them, this movie will be reduced to a mediocre love story, and it will not be a classic repeatedly mentioned in "Sleepless in Seattle". . The beauty of the director is that the catalyst is used here. The catalyst was that visit to the island and that lovely old grandmother.
If the visit to the grandmother on the island is omitted in this movie, it will be a lot of shame. In the first 20 minutes of the movie, what we saw was just another affair of a dandy. Even if it is not full of false feelings, this kind of story is usually rushed before the boat reaches the shore (see Siege) . Until we followed the protagonist on the island, the director immediately made us refreshed. He took us out of the luxurious and vain world where the protagonist lived and entered a paradise. A divine one, as she said. The change of this scene is one of the catalysts. A true love story cannot happen on the boat. Because of that environment, the eyes of the people who cannot escape, the protagonist will not easily let go of his guards, everything is just acting on the spot. That's it. Only on the island, away from the hustle and bustle, can we have the opportunity to enter the heart of the male protagonist who is never easy to show.
The more important catalyst is that lovely old grandmother, now it's her turn to play. She is played by an unknown (so amazing) British actor Cathleen Nesbitt. She plays a very temperamental old lady (no wonder there is a suave grandson), this kind of temperament and connotation is enough to conquer the audience. The first shot of her appearance is a very long face close-up, she saw Surprise and joy when I arrived at my grandson. It is conceivable that there was a burst of "oh~~~" in the movie theater, and the audience's hearts were softened. So it is no wonder that in front of such an old lady, everyone put down their guards, of course, including our hero and heroine (a few minutes ago, the heroine) The protagonist also suspects that this is a joke).
Several things the old lady did inadvertently catalyzed their feelings. He asked Nikie to go to Chapel. When the hero and heroine kneeled before the altar (like a golden boy and a jade girl), we believe that their feelings at this time are pure. We realized that at this time the story has surpassed another affair. Then, when Nikie gave the portrait of his grandmother, he was such a delicate and delicate man, we almost wanted to label him reliable, or at least remove the label of playboy. . Before leaving, Nikie asked her grandmother to play the piano. She played the theme song an affair to remember (later the Oscar for best music award). Terry (heroine) sang, the music is very beautiful, accompanied by all sorts of sadness, the whistle sounds The loud, trembling piano sound is so beautiful that people can't bear to leave. Such a beautiful moment is a rare beautiful memory in life, and it is worthy of the name affair to remember. At this time, the relationship between the two is complicated. Is it Terry because I met Nickie's grandmother and fell in love with Nickie? Did Nickie meet Terry and grandmother and fall in love with her at first sight? It's not clear, anyway, in front of their grandmother, they exposed their hearts as a child, and fell in love with each other. After that, their choices, their hardships, whether they eventually become married or not, will not change this memory. By the way, don't forget, the shawl bequeathed by the old lady also played a key role as a testimony to this memory.
