Small impression after watching "Orlando"

It can be used as another form of expression and excellent introduction to the original work. The film has a very wonderful beauty, which is in line with the intention of the original book, and the soundtrack composed by the director himself is also very good. The seven chapters of "Death", "Love", "Poetry", "Politics", "Socialism", "Sex" and "Rebirth" are connected in series, corresponding to the seven acts of the play, and the structure and form are exquisite. A good gender awareness enlightenment film, of course, what attracts me the most is the search for the value and meaning of self-existence across four centuries across time, space, and gender. "I'm still me, there's no difference, just a different gender." To tell the truth, I also want to have the freedom and transparency to get rid of all the shackles after 400 years of travel.

    Death, love, politics, social interaction, sex, rebirth... This is generally the life that everyone must experience, and then the beauty of male and female, the unity of yin and yang, makes Orlando condensed with classical, literary, sad, confused, and meditative Waiting to reverse the charming temperament of all living beings - finally, maybe not the last, we should all have this attitude, lying under the tree, looking at the child, looking at the angel, showing a meaningful smile, this is a dense and rich life

Orlando quotes

  • Orlando: A man must follow his heart.

  • Princess Sasha: Why are you sad?

    Orlando: Because. Because I can't bear this happiness to end.

    Princess Sasha: But we are together.

    Orlando: Yes, now. But what about tomorrow? And the day after?
