When I was very young, CCTV showed this film and was moved. At that time, I thought, how could there be such a beautiful movie, how could there be such a beautiful love. Barbra Streisand was never a beauty, but she was so talented.

Today I suddenly remembered this movie I saw when I was very young, and it was translated as "Yanter" or "Yang Duo". Forgot the details. Roughly speaking about the background of the Middle Ages, Barbra Streisand dressed as a man to go to church school and fell in love with his classmates, but his classmates have their own sweethearts, and that woman in turn fell in love with Barbara who was pretending to be a man. Pull Streisand. Maybe if I watch it now, I feel bored and picky a lot, but I was really touched at the time. This film is like a light that can shine into people's hearts. Faint, but firm. Classical love. There is a feeling of wishing to love her for her.

This is a film made by Barbara in 1983. In this film, she arranged the production, director, screenwriter and starring role. Since then, I have been her fan.

The ending of the film is like this: when he knew she was a woman and was about to kiss her, she mumbled the woman's name. Then she withdrew.
