Helena Bonham Carter, who plays the protagonist Kate, is a favorite actor. In the lens, she always appears pale and fragile, gorgeous and sad, and her gestures are filled with a strong inherent Gothic atmosphere. Dark blue, black, or scarlet that can drip bleeding, are all colors that suit her very well.
The time was 1910, when the girl Kate appeared on the London Underground in a blue dress. My mother had just passed away, and my father spent the whole day walking around the bar and smoking hall and no longer had any illusions about life. Rich widow aunt Mo Di adopted her so that her youthful beauty could win a proper marriage for the family in the upper class. However, Kate is not a well-behaved woman. She fell in love with Morton, a reporter from an ordinary background, a thin and gentle man with blond hair. They were dating secretly, complaining to each other, and they were in the same room but they couldn't make any further progress. Because his father’s words circulated in Kate’s mind all the time, "How long can you hold on without money?" This question made Kate unable to breathe, even if the person he loved was close in front of him, even if he said affectionately "Kate, marry "I", even though she curled up on the bed alone at night when she was imprisoned by her aunt, crying painfully, she was still scared and hesitated. Depression is written on the face, and loneliness is the back. Three months later, she was the only woman smoking a cigarette among the brightly dressed people at the party where the lights flowed. Her eyes were bigger and her skin was whiter. She was still so sharp and unique when she spoke, but she couldn't talk about happiness.
Millie appeared when the world was sinking. This rich orphan from the other side of the ocean, innocent and enthusiastic, as delicate as a flower, and pure as an angel, with a sweet smile as if a beam of warm sun. She took the initiative to walk into Kate's life and said, "Hey, I finally waited for the moment when others no longer occupy you." The two girls stood together, like two hemispheres of a star, bright and cold, but they were sympathetic to each other. .
In fact, from the moment Millie saw Morton in the hallway, I knew what would happen. Kate must also know. Smart women are always too self-confident, thinking that they can use reason to control emotions. Kate, who is becoming more cold and determined, is actually ignorant. In her hopeless struggle, she gradually convinced herself that as long as money is obtained, love can be guaranteed. Therefore, she did not hesitate to use Millie's love for Morton, and she did not hesitate to sacrifice the faith of mutual loyalty between her lovers. make an appointment.
Venice is so beautiful, the winding river, the two perfect gondolas with pointed curves, the stone bridges and buildings that are dappled with light and shadow at night, the Baroque, the art gallery, the golden sunlight and the endless rain... The emotional entanglement between the three young people unfolded in this picture of the water city. Director Iain Softley handled everything beautifully, including conspiracy.
Night tour of Venice. Kate intends to let Morton and Millie share the same boat, and she and the maid Susan take the other. Two gondolas ran side by side on the water, everything was silent, only the sound of the oars paddling the water and the poetic explanations of the rowers. The silver light on the water moved people's heartstrings, and Millie's laughter echoed in the night sky, cheerful, distant and unforgettable. She and Kate stood up from their respective boats and held hands. At this moment, they were so close.
The grand masquerade is full of people. Millie is dressed like a goddess in a white dress, and Kate is dressed as a man in a top hat. During the carnival, Millie invited Morton to dance, and Kate looked at them attracted to each other with a sad expression. After a dance, Kate could no longer control herself, she took Morton to the corner and kissed wildly...
In order to plan smoothly, in order to avoid the pain of seeing her lover and others in person, Kate returned to London alone. Even so, jealousy and loneliness tortured her day and night until she was exhausted. In Venice, Millie's love eroded Morton's will bit by bit. They kissed on the scaffolding of the art gallery. We saw Morton's movements. From the hesitation at the beginning to the end, we couldn't help embracing Millie.
"Dear Kate, everything I do is for you, but every day is more difficult. She has come alive and is more energetic than anyone..." Kate could no longer calm down after receiving a letter from her lover, and she finally told Millie Reveal his love affair with Morton. This was undoubtedly a devastating blow to Millie.
"The shadow of death envelops me, and my heart is full of pain and remorse, unless I can fly away from here on the wings of a white dove..." The black funeral boat sailed to the river bank. Millie died and left her huge wealth to Morton, as she once said to him, "You will get what you want faster than you think." The last sentence left by this crystal-clear woman was, "I love you, Morton. I love you two."
At the end of the film, Morton proposed to Kate again, and he said, "I will write to Her lawyer. I want to marry you, but don’t want her money." Kate shed tears, "Is this your condition? Then I have one condition. You have to promise me, promise me that you can’t fall in love with her. The memory of..."
Everything is for love, and everything is not what it was originally thought.
This is the most puzzling part of love.
