Ordinary love, comfortable old British style

The 1986 old film "A Room with a View" is also known as "Blue Sky Outside the Window".
It tells the story of love at first sight, marriage, and worldly pressure in British society in that era when it was not fully open. It also vividly portrays women's rap, men's playfulness, and domineering.
The heroine Lucy and her cousin traveled to Italy. In the hotel, because they wanted to change to a room with a view, they met the suave Joe. The two were attracted to each other. Stay sane and reserved.
After returning to China, Lucy met a gentleman in the UK. When they were talking about marriage, Joe and his father came to the neighborhood. Lucy canceled the engagement with the gentleman. Telling a series of lies to the mother, to the gentleman... and intending to travel to Athens to put things on hold.
In the end, Joe's old father's words saved the situation and made Lucy see his true heart; Lucy really went on a trip, but with Joe.
The European films of that period are really classics. There are many times in Byron's books and some people who are addicted to books. They are very elegant and interesting. Women wear lace clothes like cloaks. Both men and women wear hats. Use a parasol (or as a crutch).
It was a time when women were reminded of their frailty, and their positioning was also passive. She either couldn’t choose by herself, or she couldn’t deviated from the classics and went against everyone’s potential choices.... Think about it, people are still a lot happier now. Only a few short decades have passed.
But without geese teasing affection, without the leisure of reading poetry and books, and reciting aloud, life seems to be much rougher; now, sophistication is only the sophistication of industrialization. This is actually an era that does not advocate individuality but worships individuality. People who dare to stand up are the capital of fame.
