Reality is not romantic

This film is threatening. It is said to have won the (golden ball?) Best Picture. A few days ago, when I was driving to and from get off work for two hours, I listened to the commercials of this film several times a day. It must emphasize love blockbusters, unparalleled romance, etc., which made me think it was similar to "Days on the Clouds". Or films like "The Notebook" that require light mature women to prepare N boxes of tissues and I think it's naive.
A very delicate film, with many very literary and artistic passages, whether it is photography or plot. These very delicate places are rarely seen in Hollywood movies. For the sensitive and sullen female literary youth, these details are almost nirvana. For example, at the beginning, Keira jumped into the water to pick up the broken vase fragments, Robbie exclaimed her to be careful not to step on the fragments on the ground with bare feet, and after she rushed away in anger, she sat by the pool again, gently stroking The water ripples soaked in Keira - a pair of young men and women admiring Maimang with their needles are about to come out, I can't help but think of the time when I was in middle school and the girl at the same table teased each other but liked each other - what a good boyhood it was. .
There is also the tragic Dunkirk retreat. The director is very clever. He did not use the corpse to be covered in blood and blood. And the officers talk about dumping the wounded and sick completely because there aren't enough ships. The whole beach was a complete apocalyptic scene.
Keira still amazes me, even though her temperament is the same as in Pride and Prejudice, just more intense, smarter, more decisive and more flamboyant. Oh, and she's even thinner. If she has too few scenes in the movie and her acting skills are a little more monotonous, but her temperament and appearance are enough to make her shine.
But it's obviously Girls' Generation's Briony who's acting superbly. Saoirse Ronan acted as a female writer. At the age of thirteen, he could write a script, write a novel, and imagine a scene of sexual abuse, and put his sister's lover and the object of his secret crush into unjust imprisonment. Maybe she had instinctively used jealousy without knowing it at that time, but at least at that time she could already experience the turbulent love from the scene of her sister and the housekeeper's son outside the window, although she didn't understand love at that time.
Think back to when I was thirteen, in the second year of high school. I just won the championship in the county-level speech contest, and I keep the dictionary as a prize all day long. Only after many years, when I recalled that place in Jing'an, did I suddenly feel how beautiful it was to read on the riverbank in the early morning and watch the sun rise from behind the mountains, illuminating the mist over the river and the mountains in the distance, did I realize how beautiful it was to run past in the spring How beautiful is that large pear blossom forest, how beautiful is the girl in the next class who is reading the text with me - but by the time I think about kissing her, she is already drowned in the crowd of the small town, and I am already on my way to on a train in Beijing. I left Jing'an to go to high school in Nanchang, and we didn't have any contact.
Nothing romantic.
Let's go back to the movies. The whole movie has been carried out in a romantic atmosphere, even if one is in the army and the other is a nurse, silently saying heartfelt vows and vows across the English Channel, until the end, Briony is very old, and after writing this novel, she only said , in fact, Robbie died of septicemia on the eve of the Dunkirk retreat, and also in 1940, Cecilia died in an air raid in London.
Therefore, the happiness they were looking forward to was just an illusory dream after all. So all romance is just the imagination of other people's minds.
What is beautiful and romantic is not loyalty, not separation between life and death, but redemption.
Thinking of "Yun Shui Yao", after all, Wang Biyun survived and saw his lover's son; and the love between Cecilia and Robbie only exists in Briony's mind. The latter can be blamed or blamed, but where is the tragedy of the former?
