The black daffodils that suddenly open in the exotic snow peaks

I stumbled upon an old movie "Black Narcissus" filmed in 1947. I finally found resources to watch it, and I liked it very much. The story takes place in the Himalayas in Nepal, where the scenery is beautiful, and a group of nuns were sent by the church to the fairyland on earth to preach, run schools and hospitals. It is no exaggeration to say that the place where they are located is a fairyland on earth. The white house in the valley, you can see the snow-capped mountains shining under the blue sky not far away when you open the window, the big church bell stands on the white cliff, when the bell rings, the loud bell collides back and forth on the rock wall in the mountains , very pleasant. The mountainside is lined with green trees and gurgling streams. The local mountain residents consist of the general, the general's young and handsome son, an exotic Huaichun girl, a half-naked monk meditating in the valley, and a cute boy who can speak a few words of English. Waiting for a group of people to form the excellent style of that peculiar area. In particular, there was a tall and handsome western senior man who often came and went, and this atmosphere caused great intrusion to the two young and beautiful nuns. They are born, but they have to face the temptation of the living world. The western man was like a pebble thrown into the calm lake causing ripples to spread. The desire for love hidden in the depths of their hearts is stimulated, but they must be concealed. After all, they are nuns who believe in the Lord... The title of Black Narcissus should imply the test of human nature by faith? Black Narcissus's beautiful and oppressive mood made me and other laity sigh with embarrassment.
