The coldness and regret of love

Letitia 2022-03-21 09:03:09

With a strong British retro style and endless idyllic scenery, a pair of young people who are attracted to each other are united because of pure love, but due to the conservative atmosphere and lack of sex education in the background of the times, they miss it all their lives. The film uses a cross-narrative approach to simultaneously tell about the wedding night of the hero and heroine, as well as the growing up, encounters and acquaintances. The slightly dull rhythm and script setting make the film's plot unattractive, but it does not detract from the strong, innocent yet painful relationship between the two. The final parting ways were due to tension, misunderstanding, and ignorance of sexuality, but their contradictions stemmed from the class gap. The huge difference in ideology and different growth experiences created their mental asymmetry and inability to integrate. Some regret to miss it is to miss it. The plot of the last fifteen minutes of the film is somewhat like "La La Land". If we meet again, how will I congratulate you? With tears, with silence. Saoirse Ronan once again gave impressive acting skills, full of drama, showing the heroine's entanglement, love, pain, caution and struggle vividly. If you give the film four stars, Ronan will have one.

    The rhythm is terrible, it is extremely ugly, and the tears are forced, which is extremely embarrassing.

    The split of love seems to be that the male lead cannot accept the female lead’s sexual fear and the female lead’s proposal for life after marriage, but it is actually a choice between the rights and control of the two people in love. The heroine tends to be submissive in the relationship between the heroine, but the first time they met, the heroine is a bad boy image. Despite this, the heroine still proactively attacked. The director wanted to tell the audience that the heroine is a master in heart. Her relationship with Charles was hinted in the 29-point rehearsal, only to see her iron face, the prosecution. And the relationship between the heroine and the heroine. On the wedding night, the heroine said that I was scared, and carefully asked if the heroine was willing to listen to her little secret (when he was molested by her father when she was young), the hero crudely unbuttoned her skirt even though she was holding her. When the zipper enters the death line. At that moment, the fear of the heroine when she was young started, and the trust in the heroine was completely disintegrated. Love is very fragile, young male protagonists do not understand the sense of security that female protagonists need, or female protagonists just enjoy the pleasure of good girls conquering bad boys. Charles's delicacy and obedience, and the spirit of the piano can meet the emotional needs of the heroine. The same is love, one side is wanting, and the other side is need. The director patiently demonstrated the universal love dilemma
