We often say that love is like Cupid's arrow, it comes too fast and can't be stopped. Mara and Roy agreed to stay together for the rest of their lives the day after they met in the dugout. Such fiery and unrestrained love has entered a state of obsession. Mara is elegant and crazy, giving up her beloved ballet career for love. Roy is a humble gentleman, noble without losing his identity. Just as the relationship between the two was raging like dry firewood, reality pulled down a cruel face. She suffered unemployment, mistakenly thought that her lover was "dead", and then fell into the dust, and the blows came one after another. At the end of the film, she walked towards the dazzling lights on the dim street, and went straight to the grave of love, but it was not marriage. So, we say, love is fleeting.
Many people lost a roll of tissue after watching this film (too many tears), which shows the sensational power of this film. However, as far as I am concerned, it is more like a love story of a rich young master in ancient China who fell in love with a firework girl, because the parents who are officials in the imperial court pay attention to the right things, because even if the top brand is good, it is difficult to stop the world's vision , Hey, talented and beautiful people have been hard to keep each other since ancient times.
Oh no, Mara in the film was a dancer with a Parisian troupe when she met Roy. Roy's "death" made her feel that her virginity also lost its value. She loves face too much and is unwilling to rely on her boyfriend's mother. Even if she is seriously ill, she doesn't want her friends to buy medicine for her. Even, I would rather starve to death than exchange flowers for the warmth of a meal.
Many viewers felt that Mara was too "silly" to confess to Roy's mother, at least it wasn't all her fault. At least marry into a wealthy family and you will be able to live happily ever after. It is true that, compared with the freedom and rebellious spirit of the Americans, Mara has no resistance to the feudal concept, but just blindly blames himself and laments his fate.
However, British thought in the 20th century was still very conservative and rigid. Even in 1936, the king of a country, Edward VIII, wanted to marry a divorced American civilian woman, which was not accepted by British public opinion, so he had to abdicate and end up with a "no" Out of the country to love beauty" reputation. So Mara, the daughter of the principal of the elementary school, knew that she could not fit into the upper classes of that society, and people still had a little opinion on dancers, let alone women in the dust. She's not that innocent girl anymore. As she said, "I have only loved Roy in my life, and I have never loved anyone else, and I will never be in the future." Because she loved Roy so much that she couldn't bear to hurt the person she loved, she chose leave.
The film had little impact in the United States and was quickly forgotten, even by the British. On the contrary, in China and Japan, it has become a classic blockbuster in the history of Hollywood in people's minds. I forgot which writer it was. In the article, it was written that he and his mother watched "Blue Bridge of Soul Breaking" together, and his mother was always "sorrowful" and "unstoppable". It has earned the tears of generations, and it has also won the hearts of every infatuated girl with its beautiful tragic nature. The reason is that it suits the tastes of Chinese audiences. The artistic conception is beautiful, the feelings are delicate, full of sentiment, and the tragic and solemn ending of sacrificial love is simply a replica of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai".
The Blue Bridge, that is, the Waterloo Bridge in the film, is like the final destination of Yingtai, witnessing the process of love being born, passionate, sinking, and finally dying. Acquaintance and goodbye, the soul breaks the blue bridge.
