Through this film, I met the master director David Lee for the first time. The background of the story is the period of British colonization of India, cultural conflicts, ethnic differences and the mystery of India's own religious culture, it may not be surprising that whatever happened in that era. Mrs. Moore and the principal in the movie gave the doctor full trust and respect. Edna canceled the lawsuit and gave Dr. Ace a way to live, and she needed to overcome her own great courage, just like everyone didn't understand, "What on earth do you think, (Principal Fitting just because he trusted the suspect Ace, The lawyers who had contact with him were excluded by the entire British Overseas Chinese Association.) I can imagine what kind of departure Edna will face after she sues and withdraws her case. Only the heroine entered the cave alone, and then due to a series of factors such as the foreign mysterious culture shock received during that period of time + fear of marriage + the claustrophobic echo of the cave, etc., hysteria was triggered. Sometimes the development of things is not a person at all. Controlled, the heroine was in a trance, and the nobles of the British Overseas Chinese Association dared to bully us when they thought about it. They tried to bail him, and there was no explanation for bail. The Indian masses were very excited and mighty, but they did not It's useless, everything is still subject to the trial. Just pushed forward until the trial. Maybe that day, the heroine really confirmed what happened in the cave, withdrew the lawsuit, stopped a mistake, and paid Dr. Ace's innocence. Maybe following the trend is more suitable for the survival of one's own internal race, but someone always needs to stand up against the current, and then there will be a collision of cultures and integration of nations. Barabara said a lot, and I would say that I didn't read it myself. Do you understand, haha. If you are interested, you can watch it. It's a very good movie.

    David Lean's third installment, which was much better than expected, made me more sure about "don't like David Lean", maybe I thought he was dealing with too much scribbling in the text. Travel is a natural metaphor for the conflicting cultures of different groups. In addition to the background of the film, you can already know the location of the film without knowing the plot. Originally, both sides had the mentality of eliminating prejudice - the female protagonist was curious and respectful to India, and the male protagonist was friendly but slightly flattering to the United Kingdom, but under certain circumstances, class conflicts inevitably broke out, perhaps inherent prejudice or It is worthwhile to say that the natural resistance to strange things is difficult to eliminate after all, so I also feel that the final "happy reunion" ending of this film is too "the main theme". In addition, I don't like the Indian Philosopher/Metaphysics master in the film, this character is simply metaphysics for the sake of metaphysics, and is ultimately over-interpreted by film critics.

    I also thought there would be a suspense at the end. For example, the woman in the cave actually seduced the man, who in turn falsely accused him, and found out that he revoked his testimony or something. It turned out that I was thinking too much... The ethnic and religious conflicts are difficult to reconcile. A kind heart has nothing to do with right and wrong. So let those who want to be independent go independent, love whoever man~

    Richard Fielding: I don't follow.

    McBryde: When you think of crime, you think of English crime. The psychology's different here.

  • McBryde: [at the trial] Before we begin, I'd like to state what I believe to be a universal truth: the darker races are attracted to the fairer, but not vice-versa.
