On Chesil Beach--A Modern Version of Wuthering Heights

Nothing can stop them from falling in love; crazy moms; very different upbringings; but sex can. It is attractive because it is different, but from the root, does spiritual fitness influence sex? She looks a bit weird here, and later found that her tough face is right; the girl is the leader in the relationship between the two; she chose the boy at a certain time, taming a wildboy, but the boy can be anyone bar. In getting along, the boy thinks about sex; the girl just wants him to kiss her trembling fingers. The subtle embarrassment finally boiled over on the wedding bed. The misty surreal beach, two people arguing; the boy is out of breath and the girl is panic-stricken. The shooting angle of the boy has become shorter, and the poor boy can't accept the girl who has no sex.

The girl was kept in vain. Such a story would be incredible for hippies. The boy returned to his previous life track, and the hippie dress was more suitable for him. They should each return to the established track. Years later, he fulfilled the pact, which only happened in drama. It's absurd that a woman would later have a lot of children with that guy who didn't have strong gender representation. Dad said they couldn't get on anyway; she'd be better off with that cellist, and I was speechless. Can't you like Chuck Berry if you like classical music? Later, when she wanted to get engaged, she revealed her vague unease to the priest, a bit like a modern version of Wuthering Heights. I've bought a lot of McEwan's books before, and I don't really like his brushwork, but this film's camera narrative is great.

    2018 Beijing Film Festival 03 This year's first film at the Beijing Film Festival made me cry. I really like the realism at the end. I thought it was a light comedy that ridiculed the relationship between men and women before marriage, but after the change of the times, I realized that the male protagonist has a lot of regrets, and the final climax is LALALAND. After running away for half his life, he returned as a teenager. Dreams still exist, you and I meet again, still entangled.

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.
