An Eastern style of love

Giving 5 stars is a five-star crossing, to commemorate the warm and exciting movie in my memory after I watched it when I was a child.

I don’t know how old I was when I watched it. There are two images that are very impressive. One is that the heroine, in order to evoke the memory of the hero’s love for her, took the necklace that the hero gave her and said, some people said that this necklace and my eyes Very similar.

Another picture shows the heroine sitting in front of the window and gradually revealing her beautiful face, indicating that the hero has recovered her memory.

People who read it again in middle age are still the original Chinese dubbed version. I really enjoy it. The Chinese dubbing of the old black and white translation film also added a lot to the film.

After so many years, the story itself can no longer move me, and even feels a bit vulgar. The male protagonist has amnesia and is the second generation of the rich. Then through his own efforts, he not only increased the wealth of his family, but also became a member of the council and obtained the title of nobility. The heroine is an ordinary girl, and Cinderella becomes a princess. A proper adult fairy tale.

But even if I watch it now, I still feel that it is a classic and not too many fast-selling films of this kind of bridge segment because the screenwriter’s description of emotions is very delicate, and the director’s technique is very superb.

Handsome, golden and dedicated is actually quite unrealistic, but the direction of the heart of the hero and heroine can give the audience a lot of empathy.

I can't tell how I feel, or I can't do without the rigorous translation and line-up. After seeing the beautiful heroine after amnesia, the male protagonist did not fall in love at first sight. He admitted that it was just a familiar feeling, more like friendship.

He kept searching for lost memories, but he didn't know that "soulmate" was by his side. Even if two people were married in a fake marriage, he still never "real" fell in love with the heroine until he found the lost memory.

The reason why this film can shock Chinese audiences more is because the feelings between men and women are more of kindness. A feeling of loving and falling in love after assisting each other in adversity.

What the two people love and seek together is the happy time when they are ordinary people, even if the man becomes very rich, even if the woman is still beautiful and more capable to help him reach the top of his career.

It makes people feel that in this materialistic world, money, beauty, ability, and even the thoughtfulness and kindness in human nature are not enough to shake the ordinary and beautiful experience brought about by the stalemate and love in that special period. This is also the way we Orientals love, accumulating in a bit by bit more grace than sensory enjoyment and material enjoyment.

Finally, let's talk about the director. The shooting level is extremely high. Although it is a black and white film, every frame of the picture shows a sense of beauty, especially the various emotions in the eyes of the actresses. When they cry, they only feel that their eyes are shining. The bright image contains diamonds.

There are also a lot of details to pave the way, with clouds and mists to show that everything is awakened and thriving
