The background of the story is London before and after the First World War. At this time, the social order in Britain was changing, industry was defeating agriculture, the feminist movement was in the ascendant, Catholicism and Protestantism collided, and the culture of aristocrats and gentlemen began to decline. . The small background is the old Grubby Manor in Yorkshire, a conservative noble who regards honor as his life, those who flatter and take advantage of friends are on the rise, and those who are upright and forbearing are slandered by rumors. The screenwriter set up a seemingly profound topic, but told a love story with a vulgar ending.
If Sylvia was a bitch from beginning to end, Christopher's forbearance would be worthy of sympathy. In the end, he was able to take off the mask of disobedience, abandon the parade he insisted on, and be with the person he truly loved, which would convince me even more. However, perhaps in order to increase the complexity of the relationship, the screenwriter portrayed Sylvia as a woman who is arrogant, willful and daring to act despite her beauty and coquettishness, and has a unique charm. Even when the two got married, Christopher knew that he had been set up, and still smiled: she was still beautiful; when Sylvia threw away the little mirror given by her lover, Christopher picked it up and gave it to her; He reluctantly said to Sylvia: You have been abandoned by a ruthless man, you have the right to play with all men, this is a woman's resistance to men; when they saw that Sylvia bought back the painting that "angered" him, the two were helpless. Good night to each other; Sylvia comforted Christopher when he came back from the battlefield; when in the barracks hotel, Christopher smelled Sylvia's pajamas with nostalgia; when Sylvia sincerely confessed, Christopher's passion burst out after suffering... Two people who love but don't find the right way to love. After realizing her feelings for her husband, Selvey persistently tried to restore the relationship between the two, using her unique way of "making troubles", but it backfired. And christopher has been ignoring how to love, how to endure hatred, his wife's deviant path made him suffer from reputation and heart, when he met the intelligent, pure and considerate V, it was like finding a gentle haven. Integrity, Christophe, who is unwilling to be flexible, quit his job and went to the army to escape his difficult feelings. In the end, despite the war, he did not, as the general said, either divorce Sylvia or live with her like a man. Therefore, Christopher, who always looked frustrated and wanted to cry, did not have too much sympathy and resonance, which led to the sudden ending of the play. Christopher eventually followed the crowd and gave up monogamy and absolute loyalty. parade, happily became a lover with V! I really don't like this ending. Isn't "After the Wind and Rain in the Homeland" a tragic continuation of this ending?
I like the kind-hearted and lovely general in the film, who does not lose his laugh. He trusts, loves and tolerates these two people like an elder. He can pinpoint where Christopher's stagnation lies, even Christopher's father can't do it (he actually heard his son After being slandered by an unwarranted stain, he chose to commit suicide) Ah!
What I want to complain about is that the film starts with christophe and sylvia on the train, and ends with christophe and V's puritanical ritual. The first paragraph really questioned how a gentleman with integrity, restraint and forbearance would do such a destructive thing. Although the ending paragraph was V's imagination, it was so "pure" that it gave people a little goosebumps. Then I have to complain about BC's mouth, either to the root of the neck or to the root of the ear, probably because of the braces, the speech feels a little leaky, and sometimes the voice is so low that I feel breathless. Ahem, maybe BC has successfully deduced such a dull, conservative British gentleman~
Although the plot is so, there are beautiful rural scenery, clear and beautiful soundtrack, exquisite scenery, and some parts are still beautiful and memorable: fog In the middle of the car, the summer sun rises from behind Christopher and V; looking at the osprey flying in the sky, Sylvia, who yearns for freedom; Sylvia, who made a warm confession in the army hotel, Christopher who responded with sincerity and manned once; Grubby's century-old tree, although it seems that Sylvia has hurt Christopher with another willful act, but the roots of the tree have disturbed the foundation of the old house. One day, the two will go to one or the other. It is Sylvia who made the choice for Christopher. .
