I didn't realize I was watching a Dickens movie adaptation of Lone Star. The first two-thirds of the entire film is an elegant riddle to me. I don't know how the plot will develop, just immersed in the gradual rhythm, happily guessing where it will lead.

It turned out to be so famous. This version should be that the director gave up the cold and decisive style of the original work, and used the entanglement of the two theories of "life is unpredictable" and "destined" to euphemistically narrate. There are three clues that run through the whole story, one is a prisoner on the run, and the beginning and the end of the film are made by him. meet again. The third one is the eccentric hostess of Paradise Lost, who is old and faded, heavy makeup and loneliness. The broken line of "it's my heart, it's broken" becomes the lament of the male protagonist at the end of the film.

Ethan Hawke, Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert De Niro, in 1998, it was also a very strong lineup, and importantly, no one was overwhelmed by anyone; before just thought Gwyneth was pale with long hands and feet Giraffe, there is such a stunning beauty in this film, and even more beautiful are the two young actors who played the hero and heroine when they were young. In many moments, they all touched my heartstrings.

The manor flooded by the grass in summer, the tranquil pond, the frogs croaking and the red ladybugs flying away, such as dreamy long blond hair, innocent and confused eyes, the record player standing in the ruined pavilion, the rushing up Fountain water column, there are too many worth staying in the memory.

    If you watch a movie under unknown circumstances, you may not have guessed that this will be Alfonso Cuarón's work. After all, the film does not have the various long shots he likes to use (maybe, he hadn't been obsessed with long shots at that time? )...... After "The Little Princess", Fox asked Caron to film this "Great Expectations". Caron had no intention of filming, but Fox insisted on insisting. In the end, in helplessness and pain, Caron finally finished the "Great Future" with the never-formed script. New Lone Star Blood and Tears.
