Old and desolate castle, impoverished and closed family, two flowery girls. Poverty and depressing life is like a ruthless knife eroding young lives, eager for change, not only Ruth willing to deal with the "devil" with her soul, but also Kassandra's unstoppable pen , Draw a different kind of life on paper. And just at this moment, the two young people appeared in such a dramatic rainy night, in line with all their fantasies about the upper class, so the sprouts of love spread out before the parties were aware of it. The light and shadow in one place are mottled. Ruth said that she could marry someone she doesn't love. For Kassandra, love is poison.
But he was driven by his nature and destiny to move forward happily, ignorant and stumbled, relying on the youthfulness as delicate and vivid as the flowers. They have a neurotic author father, a stepmother who likes to run naked in the fields, but have lost the teaching and guidance of a mother who symbolizes traditional civilization. They are completely beginners in love. Ruth's coquettish coquettishness was regarded as bad intentions, and Cassandra's nervousness and panic were also regarded as deliberately pretending to be tender. Their first attack was a miserable failure, which almost made the sisters desperate. They realized that they really lacked experience for being a woman. So when the family was invited by Mrs. Caton, they took a lot of effort: classic evening dresses, Ruth’s shyness, Cassandra’s wit... It’s like a pre-rehearsed musical. Every dance step is careful. For Mrs. Caton's family, this is just a farce to appreciate, but for them, it is a gamble about life. They have staked all of their youth, beauty, wisdom, and dreams. Finally, the conservative, prudent, shy and sincere elder brother took the bait and became Ruth's fiancé. Everything is so perfect, like a crystal-carved dream, so beautiful that you can't believe it.
At this point in the story, to be honest, I am not satisfied. There are too many love stories between a pair of brothers and a pair of sisters. Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" is already a recognized classic, and there is no need for the same story to talk about it anymore. Fortunately, the story has turned around here.
Simon returned to the castle alone, and the two were walking in the forest, dancing lightly to the music. On such a beautiful and harmonious night, he finally kissed her gently on the lips. That was her first kiss. Cassandra said that a kiss can represent many things.
She fell in love with him. Maybe she has fallen in love with him a long time ago, his cautiousness, his sincerity and frankness, he and her have the same artistic taste. That kiss was like a spell to unseal the seal, and the life of the seventeen-year-old girl was suddenly full of different colors. She tasted the kiss repeatedly, she daydreamed and replaced her sister with herself. The impulse to the opposite sex was awakened for the first time, and it was out of control like the rising tide of sea water. She is jealous, she is sad, she is expecting, she is desperate. She releases her desire in the kiss with others, but she feels guilty and desperate for shattering the fond memories of her first kiss.
However, he does not love her. Even though her sister's vanity is superficial, she doesn't have a trace of true affection for him. Although he is not happy in this love. He still loves her willingly and wants to marry her as his wife. Cassandra cried aloud and said, this is like a party game, people can't get what they want, just second-hand and defective products!
Seeing this, I finally couldn't stop sadness.
The love in the movie is all wrong. The female photographer loves the handsome gardener "like a Greek god". The gardener loves Cassandra, Cassandra loves Simon, Simon Arus, and Ruth Aneil. All people are holding the fiery love flame in their hands, but they are desperately withered in the lonely night because they are not needed. She loves him, he doesn't love her. So hurt and hurt, struggling in the love that was promised as happiness. But what a helpless thing this is, he can't give what you want; what he gives, but you don't want it. Who can truly achieve Consummation?
There were so many regrets in this world.
And Cassandra, what she wants is complete love. Unlike Ruth, who can give up everything in order to survive, love is not a tool for her, let alone compromise. So she rejected the gardener's promise of happiness to her, and also rejected Simon's offer to take her away: I will not go with you, as long as you still love her.
What an exquisite woman she is.
At the end of the story, Kassandra stood alone on the battlements of the castle and wrote: I love, I once loved, and I will still love. What is gratifying is that she is still so young, and in her future youth, she will definitely meet the destined person. I believe this time, she will still pounce on the bright flame with a firm gaze and a pure smile.
Let's talk about Neil and Ruth.
It has to be said that, compared to Simon's conservative and boring, Neal's cheerfulness and straightforwardness are more suitable for Ruth. When they first met in the castle, the two brothers were attracted by the young girl walking down the stairs at the same time, but when Ruth accidentally fell off the steps, it was Neil who helped her. The good thing about Neil is that he sees through the superficial vanity of this scheming, pretentious girl, and can still be attracted by her innocent and lively side. Two rivals with similar tactics are very good-looking. They always remind me of Babbitt and Scarlett, two typical representatives of Americans.
There is also the maverick stepmother. The introduction says that she is a Gypsy. I didn't find this in the movie, but she does have the charm of a Gypsy free spirit. She has two words that I particularly like: my flame is extinguished because it is not needed. I just want to leave my mark. At the end, she rested in the garden with the writer's husband and family. She painted and he read. Everything was so beautiful.
