Soul Broken Blue Bridge

In fact, my impression of this movie is not very deep, maybe because I have watched too many movies with ardent love, and heard too many sad breakups, so I couldn't fully mobilize my feelings for a while. Because my friend said that my favorite movie was this one, so I borrowed it to watch it. I was sitting in the audio-visual room by myself, and I was a little cold, but I still insisted on watching it.

A beautiful ballerina, a handsome colonel, and a fierce and beautiful but flawed love that happened during a war.

They met on Waterloo Bridge, and they got along for a while, and within a day they decided to get married. But the next day he suddenly received a short notice to set off at night. . .
She accidentally saw the list of dead in the newspaper, and there was him! She fainted. His eyes were dull, his thoughts were confused.

Because she gave up the show that night and ran to see him off, she lost her living theater job. Due to the poverty of life, she and her friends had to start a so-called prostitute career. But when she was looking for a target in the station one day, suddenly there was the man who made her think about it.

He thought it was such a coincidence that he waited. . . It was a shame she could not express. For a moment, she was speechless, she was a silent and kind woman who shed tears silently but did not tell him any pain. . .

When marriage really came to this kind woman and their fiery love, she chose to leave. leave forever. She didn't want to hide it, but she didn't want to let the truth hurt his deep love for her.

The next day, the hurried message left, and he ran to pursue it, but he didn't know that at this moment, she was on the Waterloo Bridge where they met, facing the speeding cars from one side to the other, with a conflicted but determined heart. Go to traffic.

Yes, in the end, she ended the love affair by suicide. But how can it end. She really loves him, and he loves her so ardently. But perhaps, only by means of death can she redeem the heart she thinks is guilty, so that the eternal love can be eternal. Because of losing and giving up, some things can be eternal.

It is undeniable that Vivien Leigh's performance in this play is more plump and vivid than Gone with the Wind. Those eyes, those mentalities, she depicted them one by one with an expressive expression. The life decided between them in such a short time is even more shocking to us.

Her dignity that exists because of love. Even in the most impoverished time, she was nibbling on bread in the humble house, and when her friend persuaded her to tell him about her predicament, she just smelled the flowers he entrusted to him with joy and said nothing. In the end, it was also because of this dignity and love that she would so stubbornly choose to leave the man she loved and go to death.

In the face of love, she chose to protect the eternal beauty. She is a beautiful woman. This movie also made me really understand a truth: even the most beautiful love, no matter how strong the feelings, there will be shortcomings.
