the veil not lifted, Reivew on The Painted Veil

The love in "The Veil" is very uncomfortable. Kitty and Walter's union is all about getting angry with her snobbish mother. In the face of Walter, a bacteriologist who has no interest in life, Kitty's derailment is completely forgivable. But Walter, who has been in love with Kitty since the first meeting, should not risk his life to let Kitty follow him, even if it is to stay with Kitty, even if it is to punish Kitty for his betrayal. The southwestern border of China where cholera spreads. What's more, in the second half of the film, Walter is portrayed as a big senseless internationalist.

Edward Norton's comment on the film's title is to lift the veil that hides people's eyes and discover the true face of life. And this annotation only applies to the original novel of "The Veil", and has nothing to do with the movie. If, like the original theme, Walter never forgave Kitty, and Kitty didn't fall in love with Walter in addition to being moved by Walter's charisma, and returned to his lover's arms after leaving the epidemic area, then the story How embarrassing. It will also allow us to see the cruelty and coldness of the veiled reality after the veil is lifted. But the movie still can not avoid a cholera into a perfect love. Perhaps the director was afraid of failing to live up to the picturesque landscape of China, or perhaps this kind of story is more suitable for the taste of the general public. So in the end, the death of the male protagonist is just to add drama to this love.
