I don't have any regrets about the movie, it's just a pity that our culture and our people prevent Maurice from showing in any cinema in China, and I want to sit in front of a huge screen and watch the HD version of Maurice, if that cinema I sat alone and felt that this day must be the happiest part of my life.
The 1988 Oscars were all about the best costume design for Maurice. What was it about the year that brought it down to such a degree that the arrogant Oscar jury gave the award to whom? However, unfortunately, among the films competing this year, there is a magical drama - "The Last Emperor". It turns out that not every Oscar Award will be as absurd and funny as the 71st.
England has three auspicious treasures, BBC, Charles Dickens, Cambridge; after all, who does not know: Animal World, "This is the worst of times and the best of times" (a famous quote in A Tale of Two Cities), Trinity College. I thought that Cambridge offered Maurice the shoulders of giants, but Maurice planted a hundred-year-old Buddha incense in front of the altar in Cambridge.
In the film, every frame of Cambridge shows the unique temperament of this institution of higher learning dating back more than 800 years. And I have heard people say that a brick that fell around the Forbidden City has a history in it. History polished, even in that inch of air, you can find the description of a book. In addition: After watching the movie, how many struggling young people will feel that it is a pity in their life that "you can't go to Cambridge for sightseeing if you don't study hard...". Although many times I envy the luxury of the rich, but in essence, it is the halo that shrouds the world's top universities that can make a stubborn group like me.
There can be many movies in the world, but Maurice is still the thankless rose in a hundred flowers,
Even in another hundred years, it will still have an audience.
Philosophy - Regarding the extraordinaryness of this film, I think it requires literary quality and a speculative spirit.
In the film, Clive tells Feathershausen, who is reading a collection of poems, to try to focus on the characters rather than the author . Therefore, this rather autobiographical novel is actually not the author in this story to a certain extent, but just a person written by him, although many people say that this work is quite autobiographical, and then a group of people fantasizes from It is actually very boring to spy on Foster's life and love history.
Another form of this sentence I also read in Dossuiyevsky's book "They are used to seeing the author speak directly in the novel, but I don't appear in the novel, they don't think that the novel speaks The protagonist Deushkin, not me" . The author creates a person, and from the beginning of writing, he is gradually enriched with life, and he is no longer attached to and controlled by anyone, even the author himself, because he/she also begins to have human thoughts, wills and behavioral standards. It is also at this time, to a certain extent, that we can regard this person as really existed, just born and raised in a different way than we are. This is what I suddenly realized, the talent of the screenwriter is amazing.
Philosophy, many people regard these two words as gods, but Tan Ze suddenly admires them even though they don't understand the wisdom. And more people will say the three propositions of philosophy: who am I, where do I come from, and where do I go. Absurd ideas always come from absurd worship. The story begins with Risley, who is a little bit out of character, making this discussion exponentially more meaningful. Debate is the only way to keep making progress—a phrase that also runs throughout the Republic, uttered by Socrates. Speculation is the source of the origin of Greek philosophy, and it has been passed down through history.
Risley's rebuttal: Will you forget my existence or the tonkatsu you ate. As well as the remarks that directly mocked the superintendent, Morris said that as a polite person, even if he thinks so in his heart, he should not say it. Risley replied: "one must talk talk talk, it's only by talking that we shall caper upon the summit, otherwise the mountains will overshadow us"
What is discussed by philosophers is the form of debate, the inner thinking; for ordinary people in life, the form is debate, and the inner is venting. This also explains why there are fights everywhere on the Internet today, and most of the time it seems that a group of people is so stupid. This little dialogue, with its witty, witty, and improvised answers, is brilliant, making the film itself philosophical yet approachable.
Ideological and political textbooks firmly define Western philosophy as idealism and materialism. This arbitrary and crude act of dividing philosophy into two has made me always contradictory and confused since middle school. Because it doesn't make that claim in itself! For example, "I think therefore I am", the answer must be chosen as this statement is idealism. Absurd! Pascal said that man is a thinking reed, and the two clearly have something in common. It is simply forcing a subject that is clearly integrated into everyone's life to become unattainable.
While rowing, when Morris was talking about Clive and Risley's discussion about Christian doctrine, Morris finally shouted angrily and hilariously, I really don't know how to define it, but most people believe this, who makes it? Is Western society not based on Greek philosophy but on Christianity? This sentence makes today's world better understood and can be transformed into: Who makes us people today under a certain system, not people in a speculative culture.
Emotions - "Omit the reference to the unspeakable vice of the Greeks"
We are love outside the law, Morris and Clive, really echoed Tang Xianzu's horror dream in the Peony Pavilion Garden, "It turned out that the flowers were blooming all over the place, and it seemed like this was paid to the broken well and the ruins." All kinds of good things in the past, Maurice's near-collapse line, what an ending
When he arrived at Pengjie Manor, Clive thought that Morris had a girl he liked, and kissed Morris' hand, saying that the end was better than last year. The smoke that Morris has nowhere to put and the words that can't be said, the love is the out of laws, unspeakable, you and I are outlaws. We all like to start from the beginning, but unfortunately it is not satisfactory.
I don't know whether it is the director and screenwriter who have a deep insight into the preferences of young literary and artistic young people, or whether the works are immersive everywhere. In the plot, there are scenes that will make your heart explode, which makes me feel that the only comments I have left on the romance dramas I have watched in the past are: the technique is vulgar.
The first look up (Clive mentions the phrase "you know" in Risley's eyes).
The enjoyment of playing the piano (eating apples, frantic Morris pressing the piano keys quickly, Clive forced him to slow down the rhythm; Clive's inner monologue is: This is a sadomasochistic piece, not a rhapsody).
Ballads when rowing (a hint of the drinking chapter, it is said that this is the prelude to the highest level of confession I have ever seen; secondly, Clive and Risley scolded Morris together, it was really fun.)
Dorm slapstick (carpet-rolling slapstick, which is indeed a male-only flirting pattern).
Skipping classes in front of the superintendent (the picture of riding away from the dust and leaving the superintendent alone; this should be the unique charm of Cambridge, after all, Cambridge and Oxford are known to have strict hierarchies and complicated etiquette; this scene really made me Inexplicably reminded of Sister Lin in A Dream of Red Mansions).
The farewell at the train station (Hugh Grant, who waving in his pocket, He is really Charming and elegant; and the indignant Morris complaining about the cold thinking and unfair treatment of the superintendent, like the fat math teacher who made me fail. I feel that Maurice's neck is red and thick, and although I disdain the Superintendent's punishment, it is also true.)
The meeting at Penger Manor (the chattering Clive, taught Maurice to deal with his family, and carefully placed Maurice next to the broken fireplace just to make it easier for me to get in and out of his room. I don't want to say this is a vulgar version of meeting the parents, But it's really kind.) - Reminds me of the title of a highly rated TV series "Sweet Honey" - You smile sweetly, as if flowers are blooming in my heart, hahahahaha.
The first half is too exciting. If the first and second feelings in the story are a choice, intellectually, I would say that the second half was chosen, but emotionally, I would cheer for the first half. Because Clive is a gentleman and elegant spiritual teacher, he is the Bacon of the literary world, full of talent and of inferior character. If the luck of the life is calm, the two of them can also spend their lives beautifully. Alek, rash and impulsive in his behavior, vulgar, simple but frank, sincere, rare; as Mr. Lao She said, "A woman's blush is better than a long dialogue".
"Happy Birthday" (Alec's blessing, Morris's return, one is sincere, and the other can understand the sincerity; after all, if you change people, you will feel that in this class, Alek is earning performance.)
Help to carry the piano (Morris has a class concept, but he shows the noble character of a true aristocrat.)
Argentine immigrants (see also the fresh green background, walking side by side for a short distance, Alek looked at Morris who was far away and said good night, the scenery in his eyes was very like the green leaves after the rain.)
Alec climbs the window (Love is really earned, Mr. Foster is really a good person, if you work hard, you will have a chance to start. In reality, those who express rejection may not be able to win. Look back Morris climbs the window at Cambridge College, and sure enough, the door can't lock the real lover.)
Cricket, even though it's a sport I don't understand at all, doesn't stop me from enjoying the fresh picture. (The white clothes really set off the beauty of people, especially Morris raised his hand and looked into the distance and Alek looked back sitting next to the little boy).
Alek's trip to London (like all the beginning, always have to be rejected for a while and then embraced better. In the exchange, Morris's panic and restlessness, aggrieved Alek, the first time I think Morris is also It's scumbag, but then I went to the British Museum and canceled my business dinner; Morris was really moved.) When Alec went downstairs, "they won't stop me when I go down", The screenwriter is really enough, and it can be regarded as Alek's response to Morris. After all, I was discussing the future with you seriously a minute ago, and you just asked me if I had paid the room fee.
There are many forms of love, such as love at first sight or love over time. I have heard a writer say: I believe in love at first sight in this world, but I believe more in love over time.
I can't define Clive and Morris. Many people will say that they are spiritually in love, or their souls overlap. Maybe it's too complicated, after all, there are many contradictions and unease. How beautiful at the beginning, how sad at the end. Many people say that Clive's cowardice and attachment to his own status made him miss this thousandth of happiness. I agree with this comment, although there are plenty of reasons to argue for Clive. After all, who owns a field, how can we simply say that we have the whole mountains, rivers, lakes and seas when we wander the world. James said in a later interview that Foster was not brave enough, and that the novel was not published until after his death. Clive's mind is sober beyond his time, but he doesn't have the courage to break the shackles of the times with actions.
We have no right or right to blame others for not doing what we want them to do. Just like flowers have bloomed, you have been here, and we have loved; all stories are true, and even if there are regrets in this life, it is better than most of others' fearful lives.
Alek and Maurice, two simple-minded people, change their hearts for hearts. If it is important to you, you will find a way, if not, you will find an excuse - Einstein, I love this quote because it always guides me by making complicated things relatively simple to make the right decision. People with simple minds will still not forget their original intentions and never change their original intentions even after they have gone far. Clive hurt Morris's sincerity again and again; Morris hurt Alek's sincerity again and again; The result is that the stone path is sloping far up the cold mountain, and there are people in the depths of the white clouds. The end of Clive and Morris was the beginning of Alek and Morris.
The ending is heartwarming, and the author gives everyone comfort, even though we know it hints at an irreparable regret. (Everything I want to say to you, I will say to you personally. The words of Mr. Jin Yuelin suddenly make me very sad about it.)
Movies and TV - I can understand why only clothing has been nominated, even though I feel bad about it.
When I was watching the drama, I watched it for another 140 minutes after 140 minutes, and couldn't help but re-watch it for another 140 minutes overnight, and I hit the phrase "How beautiful is the beautiful day, who's going to have fun! "Rainbow Wind Films, Smoke Waves Painting Boats--Jinping people watch this time cheap!" In this sunny March, I envy those lucky people who can sit in the movie theater and watch a movie called Maurice.
Wherever Clive and Maurice are is an excellent scenery, and the appearance determines the number of audiences. This sentence can coexist with the life of the film.
"Beauty is a form of genius—even above genius, because it requires no explanation. Beauty is one of the great facts of the world, like the sun, or spring, or its reflection in dark water, we call it It is the silver shell of the moon. It cannot be questioned, he has his own divine dominion, and it makes whoever has it a prince. … To me, beauty is the miracle of miracles. Only the superficial will not rely on A person is judged by appearance. The real mystery of the world is what is visible, not what is invisible." - The Picture of Dorian Gray
Back then, because of this passage, I had a bad impression of Wilde. Although my heart has not changed today, when I read this passage again, I have a different kind of emotion.
It has been 125 years since the birth of the movie. There are not tens of thousands or thousands of good-looking actors on the screen, but some people are just different, and their names have become a unique type of people. Hopkins said, "Even if England could leave nothing else to the world, the word gentleman alone would be enough for the benefit of mankind" . Maurice, when the protagonist is wearing a suit, I really don't know if the clothes bring out the beauty of a person, or if a man wears a suit, he will have a heroic temperament. This is the first time a movie has given me this weird idea: a suit is a must-have for men, and the shirt has to be white.
Second, Clive's eyes really resemble the reflection of moonlight on the Seine. When we parted at the train station, the look in Clive's eyes when he looked up, this second seemed to make people's heart beat and press the pause button. In entertainment gossip, everyone says that Hugh Grant is a person who can discharge his eyes, and he is familiar with his own charm and can always retract it freely. If I could be a gossip reporter once, I'd only have one question, "During this second of staring at each other, Mr. James, have you ever begun to doubt your true sexuality. Hahahahahaha..." (Sorry, Please forgive my offense.)
What I want to say most is the uniqueness and cuteness of the characters, which instantly attracts my favor. And what makes this movie successful is that all the actors who are over a minute long are quite unique and lovable. Of course, many people will say, if this character does not need, how can he/she appear. Yes, there is a prerequisite for the need for characters to appear, but most supporting characters in film and television works are not recognizable and fun. Unfortunately, the characters in this movie are very stylish and fun. For example, the one who saw Clive and Morris hugging each other at the door of the fairy house, the old gentleman riding a bicycle slowly passing by, wide-eyed, close-up, watching "the two people who behaved strangely", Too much like the old folks who sometimes gossip and feudal. Ben drew an unworldly masterpiece of physiology on the beach, made some embarrassing remarks, and only remembered it after walking away. On the way back, he took a breath and said, "Oh, it's really high tide." Kind-hearted Ben.
Some people commented that the movie "Chinatown" is meaningless without a line. I would like to use this evaluation to say Maurice, not a single shot can be forgotten. "A writer should try to find interesting and meaningful things in ordinary things." Everyone is real like the people around us, and all stories are as small as a single action from our lives. The story is new, yet incredibly intimate and endlessly engaging.
The screenwriter and director, Merchant ivory, digged the essence of this sentence in this film. They made this film obsessed with beauty, whether it is superficial or profound, and let the knowledge remove the dull and boring into enjoyment, and let the 20th century England The idyllic and aristocratic culture of the film is no longer disapproving but appreciates in the hearts of moviegoers. Moreover, this film strongly awakened my memory and nostalgia for English literature. Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, I was very good in middle school, and it was in these literary works that I floated by, why did I end up in the end? But I fell into the pit of garbage romance novels, which are simply vulgar works that mislead people deeply.
Finally, I want to say that I have always been confused about the difference between humor and wit, but today I understand that the English style is wit, and the American style is humor. The Chinese language is extensive and profound, and the sea is open to all rivers, and the sudden sense of pride is also rubbed off.
- A few snippets in the follow-up
Alek ran to London, full of grievances and accusations, and even foolishly threatened Morris. In the British Museum, Morris said, "Are you still the same as me?" If I really care about you, I have beaten you down a long time ago, and I can still pay for the beating, and the police have always been on my side. So angry, really, Morris is so heartbroken.
Risley, alas, bohemian, gets caught easily.
How can you two such good friends have such different personalities?
Gentleness and politeness that go straight to the heart of people are like:
Margaret accidentally stepped on the executioner's foot when she was on the guillotine, smiled apologetically and said "I'm sorry".
Kawabata Yasunari committed suicide. On the way to the hospital, he said to the driver, "The road is so crowded, it's really hard for you."
Only Cambridge students can say that Cambridge issues a bad diploma.
If you punch me, I slap you back, and then clear up, how simple and boring things should be, and how regrettable it would be if it wasn't.
Now that I want to go, I feel sorry for myself, even if there are thousands of words I can't tell you
I entrusted Fuyun to leave here, but it is difficult, but the gentleman wishes, tears fall like rain, leaving empty and guilt alone
Like flowers blooming and withering, floating and floating in the void, committed to the breeze
Zengkong was with the stars in the early morning
Now I also say goodbye, even if we never forget each other, even if we are relative, it is still difficult to touch
Why can't we meet, maybe in a corner of your heart, my body temperature still remains
Before the breeze dissipates, caress my face just once
- mourning
I really hate that this movie is classified as Hong Kong III in Baidu Encyclopedia. Why is Farewell My Concubine a love movie? Even though this is my favorite Chinese movie, I still think Morris's Lover is better in comparison. , especially the dialogue. Why can't romance movies, they have to be posted as gay, is this telling those who are disgusted with homosexuality not to click? What a pity they missed such a good drama. You see how much a person's prejudice is lost. However, I agree that minors should not enter, because you can't understand it at all, you will only learn badly, and you will smear the movie for nothing.
