like talking about himself.
Millie has too many images of Henry herself. She is rich, and she has come to the upper class of Europe from the United States and is at a loss as to what to do.
Henry couldn't reach her ideal, and all tenderness was poured into her. In the end, Millie had almost everything except her life. She was brave, sincere, kind, morally flawless, and even received Morton's love and unforgettable memories.
Henry cherished the princess too much, too cherished to be stingy to write more about her, he wanted everyone to be roundabout, slowly, to get close to her and see her clearly.
The princess outlined by the only brush and ink is noble, beautiful, and moving.
Millie’s nobility is inherent. In the upper class of the British society, people may think that she laughs loudly and laughs at her for not being elegant enough, but the nobility in her soul is fundamental and eternal. Both the society and the secular are still noble.
No matter how many shots are given to Kate and Morton in the film, Millie's every move is still the most anticipated, even her absence is so touching.
The reason why Kate and Morton's two passionate scenes are so depressing is precisely because Millie's absence grabbed their hearts tightly and grabbed the hearts of the audience.
On the way to escort Millie's body, Morton's voice read aloud the verse from the 55th "Bible·Psalms":
My heart is very painful in me, and
the panic of death comes to me.
Fear and trembling returned to me, and
horror swept over me.
I said: "I wish I had wings like a dove, and I would fly to rest in peace."
This is an article in the "Bible·Psalms" describing betrayal by a friend. Morton thought of the verse as if in his heart, for Millie yelled in pain.
That was something Millie hadn't done all the time.
Even if the truth of the deception was exposed in the end, she still chose to forgive and tolerate, with an extremely deep love and elegant self-control.
In Venice, when Millie invited Morton to go upstairs with her, he refused without hesitation. At that time, he didn't love her at all.
But she still stubbornly walked up the stairs and boarded the high terrace, overlooking the world with childlike curiosity and contentment.
Such childishness and childlike innocence are exactly the charm of Millie.
Just as Millie and Kate visited Morton’s room together and saw water seeping through the wall of the room, Millie was full of poetic and fantasy listening to Morton’s exaggerated jokes on the wall, while Kate didn’t listen at all. The face asked with disgust: How much did you spend to open this room?
The contrast between Kate's worldliness and Millie's innocence runs through the entire film, and gradually changes Morton's heart.
Millie climbed the stairs again, without inviting Morton, but Morton followed her, stepping up the ladder step by step. At this time, Morton had slowly opened his heart.
But when the matter was revealed, Morton's affection was revealed in his argument.
"I went to the place we've been."
"Yes, I was also afraid that we would miss each other, so I waited for hours in the same place."
Faced with Millie's question, stepped back step by step.
Millie: "When are you going back to London?"
Morton: "...I won't go back."
Millie: "Then what do you stay here for?"
Morton: "...Do what we did."
They no longer have the opportunity to do what they did.
Those alluring love, the beautiful past that drunk Venice, will not start again.
But it will always be repeated in Morton's mind.
The death of beauties and the untouchable lovers are a pair of the most touching motifs in literature.
He returned to Venice again.
At the end, Henry let him stay in Venice, the most beautiful and happiest place in Millie's life.
He fell in love with their memories and began to seriously lose love.
Allan Poe once said similar words, the deepest melancholy comes from death, and the most beautiful poetry comes from beauty. These two are the most beautiful images in literature, and nothing is more beautiful than the combination of the two—the death of a beauty, especially It's the death of the lover.
And Millie is such a poignant existence in "Dove Wings".
As her letter was burned to ashes in the furnace, her beauty spread out like a dove's wings, covering Morton, Kate, and all of them under her beauty, tenderly and powerfully.
