Watching the movie "Dream of Floating Life", I wrote my own film review.

By the end of the movie, it doesn't tell us what kind of person Rachel is - and of course it doesn't matter. Love comes from one person's imagination of another person, the truth is never important, what matters is the truth you believe. When I love you, even if the whole world rejects you, I still believe in you, because you are my world; and in the same way, once our trust is cracked, even if there is no conclusive evidence, my heart has already made a judgment - this is. Philip's view of love is also that of first love. But this madness, for a young man who has just begun to love, can be just a dream, and if he wakes up, forget it; but for a widow, it is the realm of life and death. We can't simply decide what's right or wrong. Neither the movie nor the original tells us the so-called "truth". In the end, we only understand one thing: the hangings executed at the crossroads in the past are still such things, and life is Evidence, executed by love.

My Cousin Rachel quotes

  • Rachel: She died on her wedding night.

    Philip: God, of what?

    Rachel: Of shock... I think.

  • Rachel: Or, I run out of money and am forced to give Italian lessons to the *bored* wives of the gentry.

    Philip: Oh, no-no. Only spinsters teach. Everybody knows that. And then only when no one will support them.

    Rachel: And what about widows?

    Philip: Widows? Ah, well, widows remarry as fast as they can. And if they can't do that, they just pawn their wedding rings.

    Rachel: Well, I think I would prefer to give Italian lessons.
