tragic love story
Jarrell 2022-04-07 08:01:02
This film is a love tragedy, depicting a British rural woman who is not bound by traditional concepts, boldly pursues freedom, and is ultimately punished mercilessly. Director David Lean is good at describing the psychological activities of characters. He directed "Late Met", "Blood and Tears of Lone Star", "Lawrence of Arabia", "Sunny Day", "The Bridge of the River Kwai" and "Zhiwag" Doctor" has held an important position in the international film circle. While depicting the complex psychology of the protagonist, the film uses photography skills to show the picturesque rural scenery of Ireland. The sea is boundless and the beach is poetic, which plays a finishing touch to set off the encounter of the protagonist. The actor's performance is serious and unpretentious, making people laugh with joy, and make people cry with sadness. The film won two Academy Awards for Best Cinematography and Best Supporting Actor (John Mills) at the 43rd Academy Awards in 1970.

Thomas Ryan: [Corporal is reading a newspaper article about fighting in France] It seems the Jerries are giving your brave lads out there a terrible scrimmage, then.
Corporal: Aye.
Mr. McCardle: Well, you see Tom, Jerry's a tougher proposition than unarmed Irish children.
Corporal: As far as I know, Mr. McCardle, no children were killed!
[laughs of disbelief]
Corporal: All right, there were. They get you in this uniform, you aim your gun where you're told to point it, and you pull the trigger. And so does Jerry... and so would you!
