This article is adapted from Ian McEwan's novel of the same name, and the translated text of the same name was also published in China. It makes people feel that the scale of China's publication is sometimes really elusive. The article describes in 1962, before the advent of the idea of ​​sexual liberation, in British society, two young people with great disparities in class status were overwhelmed by the hesitation, temptation and fear of the first night of their wedding, and finally ended up in Chesil Beach. The story of leaving each other, ending a marriage of only six hours, missing each other and no longer in touch. The whole film begins with a dinner ceremony for two people at the manor. The host, Edward, was very nervous, and his behavior and speech were very unnatural. I don’t know the etiquette of Western-style dinners, and I often have embarrassing situations with the waiters, such as using tableware unnaturally, asking about the dinner process, and frequently urging the waiter to leave, so that the two can enjoy their time together, but forget to tip. In fact, the waiter was also very cunning. When the red wine fell on the carpet on the way to the room for two, he filled the bottle with white water. From one side, it shows that the waiter does not pay attention to this class disparity wedding. After that, the film recalled every bit of acquaintance between the two people in the form of interludes, from the first meeting of the Oxford community to the personal promise of the music rehearsal field; from the teacher's father's exhortation to Edward "Marry Bouncy's unmatched reason, to some extent, implies that she is hiding her true inner thoughts. In the subsequent films, the radio's frequency band selection keys and volume adjustment knobs appeared one after another; the close-up of Florence as a child and her father on the boat; and the little Florence was full of horror when she heard the sound of the door opening in bed, so she had to close her eyes and face the coming. What happened, further hinted, metaphorically the shadow of her father's violation of Florence's childhood, and the piano piece non allegero in the interlude also indicates that she cannot face the person she really likes with her true thoughts, and can only let her father manipulate herself. life. The aged Edward realized that the rejection of Florence behind the love was precisely the protection of the person she loved deeply. She did not want Edward to live in the shadow of no love, and their reconciliation was intertwined in the quintet. Their mutual acquaintance and love are destined to be a beautiful mistake in an era.

On Chesil Beach quotes

  • Florence Ponting: Edward, I want to make you happy. But I think I'm always a disappointment. You're always advancing, I'm always backing away, and we can't talk about it. We can never just be happy... or just be. You're always demanding something more and I'm useless at... And you go silent and unhappy and it's all my fault. And when I do... I mean when I say yes to something, even if I don't really want to, I know there'll be another thing that I'm expected to do. I'm no good at these demands.

  • 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.
