At the beginning of the movie, there was no sound, and I thought my phone was broken. Suddenly the heroine Hester's tired and vicissitudes of life (in fact, she is still very young, maybe her heart is already old) sounded, she read her will (beginning) to the hero, and calmly prepared to commit suicide.
The film adopts the method of memory narration. For a while it is the moment, and for a while the camera takes the audience and follows the heroine into the memory.
The heroine, Hester, is married to a gentleman of the same age as her father, Bill. She lives a prosperous life, has a dull married life, is sometimes depressed, and has a harsh and elegant mother-in-law.
While playing golf, Hester met her husband's young friend, Freddie. Freddie, a World War II veteran with a passion, was drawn to Hester. Hester proposes a divorce, but Bill flatly refuses; Hester leaves her husband and lives in London with Freddie.
However, in getting along, the two became increasingly unhappy. In the pub, when they had a double date with Freddie's friends, everyone sang "you belong to me"; under the camera were the protagonist singing affectionately and Hester who was embarrassed and overwhelmed. Watching an exhibition of Cubist (perhaps Impressionism? Fuzzy) paintings in a museum, Freddie couldn't understand it at all, and the two quarreled loudly (when I saw this scene, I was scared and embarrassed). Their lives are also very embarrassing, and they can't even pay their rent. This kind of unhappiness prompted the heroine to want to commit suicide, and the neighbors discovered and rescued the heroine in time. Freddie came home from golf, found the will written by the heroine, and made up his mind to leave the heroine completely. At the end of the film, the heroine is reinvigorated and ready to start a new life, a life of one person.
After watching the movie, I have to feel that maintaining love and marriage requires a lot of effort, and communication is very important.
Hester and Bill belonged to the upper class, lived well and were well educated. Bill is a very gentleman and loves Hester deeply. Even if he is betrayed, he still provides help when Hester is in trouble and down. He will give a copy of Sharon's sonnets as a gift on Hester's birthday. .
But in the face of Hester's discord with his mother, Bill did nothing. When their marriage is in crisis, one is unaware and the other does not communicate. Hester and Freddie belong to different classes, lack a common language, more difficult to communicate, and the passion is not enough to make the two live together. Passion and a stable life, you can only choose one of the two.
The picture of the movie is very beautiful, and the soundtrack is just right. There are few lines, the progress is very slow, it needs a little patience, and it is highly recommended.
