Zhang Huang's bewildered decision and life

After reading it, I was very depressed. Ian was good at magnifying a small thing that seemed extremely normal to the point of mutation, but life is just like this. After entering middle age, I realized that your whole life is for your own past. The decision you make pays the bill, no matter whether your decision is good or bad, you gain a part and lose a part, so you never take a half step, it seems that you won't lose too much, but it is precisely such a decision, You lose the most because you lose the moment to make a decision because you're forever stuck.

Does Edward love Florence? It must be love, but in a hurry, he completely denied Florence's love for him, so he thinks his decision to cut it out is completely correct, because he was just being used, and years later, he is experiencing sexual diversity After sex, I realized that a little bit of emotion is not something that performance is exchanged for. But after walking left to right from the beach, he and Florence no longer intersected, and his life could have been completely different.

It's just that that hurried first night was by no means the reason why he broke with Florence, at least not the only reason. Florence's strong and successful father has a crucial influence on them. The flashback scene of Florence's childhood on the boat seems to imply that her father molested Florence. The music on the radio can arouse Florence's fear, and the caresses of others will make her She was nervous, so it was because of the lack of sex education, the shadows of childhood, or both. On the other hand, Edward seems to be a little simpler. Although his mother's brain injury has brought great trouble to his family's life, he only realizes his reality and normality from it. In the hall of adulthood, everything seems to be going smoothly, but in the film they walk hand in hand to the red marriage bed as if they were going to the execution ground. Ian's portrayal and the interpretation of the two actors are exceptionally in place, but it is this British neuroticism that leads to the tragedy of the characters in the play, and lovers can't get married.

However, the saddest thing is Edward's ending. He seems to have never married. After his marriage with Florence ended, he started his ordinary life. He did not become a history professor, did not write history books, and did not start from the little people in history. Some anecdotes, the flowers and birds he knew didn't add to his life, he was just a record store clerk or owner, old and hitting hemispheres, heating food in the microwave all by himself, and hearing that Florence was going to do it. Saying goodbye to the show, he bought 10 seats in row C to cheer for Florence Bravo, as they had agreed in their love affair, but unfortunately, this cheering will be after a lifetime, and he has paid the price for his decision throughout his life, his identity and status He was replaced by a cellist, his 5 children and 3 grandchildren changed their father's surnames, and there was no eldest daughter named Chloe. At that moment, the tears in his eyes were far more than the tears in Florence's eyes. Florence achieved In her own life, she did not connect her life with the haze of the first night, because she knew that she loved Edward deeply, her proposal was because of love, she was rejected because of her love, or because Edward did not understand her love enough, Or Edward couldn't completely cut himself off from the grievances of Florence's father providing him with a job, he always mind. So after rejecting Florence and his other life, he can only live in confusion and frustration with his decision.

It's not to define Florence's success, success and happiness, but the choices you make in your life are so arrogant. These decisions can kill you or ruin your life at any time, but when you make these decisions, you always think himself is right.

    In the era before the sexual liberation movement in the West, society did not discuss sex as a normal topic. Even though there are differences in family background (social class), upbringing and cultural tastes for this well-educated young man and woman, physical contact always seems to be an ultimate expectation for their relationship. When the first night of the wedding fails and this layer is also removed, the relationship collapses instantly. At 17:00 on June 22, 2019, in Hall 1, Xiaoxitian Art Cinema, China Film Archive.

    I looked at the mark and wanted to see that it was already in 2010, and finally I saw it when I almost forgot the content of the novel. My favorite McEwan, although it has many shortcomings, I still like it. The main two protagonists are too attractive.

On Chesil Beach quotes

  • Florence Ponting: You know I love you.

    Edward Mayhew: Still!

    Florence Ponting: I want to spend my life with you. And you feel the same. We love each other and we can set each other free. Edward, it must be obvious to you by now that I'm...

    Edward Mayhew: Florence, what is it?

    Florence Ponting: That I'm pretty hopeless. No, I'm absolutely hopeless at sex. I'm no good at it. I don't seem to need it like other people, like you do. I might change, but I can't imagine it. If I don't say this now, we'll always be struggling with it. It's going to cause you a lot of unhappiness and me too.

  • Florence Ponting: We can live by our own rules too, Edward. I can say this because I know you love me. We don't have to be like everyone else. We could live together and... and so... and no one would know what we did or didn't do. We'd be together and if you wanted, really wanted, that's to say, whenever it happened, and of course, it would happen, I'd understand. More than that, I'd want it because I want you to be happy, and free. I'd never be jealous as long as I knew that you loved me.
