1. Love is far away.

He is such a childlike man. I don't know how to express my emotions, I don't know how to get along with others, and facing the woman I love deeply, in addition to staring blankly, even knowing that she doesn't love me, I still solemnly marry her as a wife and take her far away. So after her betrayal, she chose the most difficult path in the world, punishing herself for loving her, and punishing her for not loving him.

It is not so much that she agreed to his marriage proposal to yearn for the mystery of the East or to believe that he would bring her happiness, but to escape from a mean mother and age to marry. In the babbling actor's singing, she betrayed him that she thought she had met a vigorous and lasting love, but it was only a wrong love, and she was embarrassed and had to go down that suicidal road together with him.

The love achieved in the era of cholera cannot be asked if there is a future or regret. If she loses the background of this era, will she see that the taciturn and boring man is a man full of love and sincerity? If he hadn't been trapped in this desolate town, would he have seen her playing the piano in the convent and meeting the smiling faces of the orphans dancing happily?

She said the real honesty: I never hide my true self, even if this is my vain, dancing, and fun-loving. You can't help but resent him: in the most romantic of Italy, you talk more about the architecture and structure of a bridge than you admire the beauty around it. He distinguishes: I play bridge very well. she laughs. Finally, under the kerosene lamp, I realized the changes and caters he made for himself.

The flamboyant oriental atmosphere was deliberately arranged by the director to resemble the ghostly aftertaste of the late Qing Dynasty in 1925. However, after all, it was through such a drunkenness that they began to truly fall in love. Maugham's novel, even if Kitty doesn't end up falling in love with Walter, does that matter? I knew many years ago that the original novel and the adaptation of the film are more in line with the meaning of the image when viewed separately.

He eventually died of the plague in that beautiful old town. She eventually grew up safely from a spoiled woman. I really liked her gorgeous turn to Charlie on the streets of London at the end, her attitude absolutely calm. Yes, the man she once thought gave her love is no one in her heart from now on.

2. Where it starts, where it ends.

If you want to know all the sights on a road, the only way is to walk through it. If you want to know if a man can love you to the end, the only way is to leave him. If you are not afraid of anything, then the only way is to face it.

Kitty and Walter finally lift the veil of each other, and the final outcome can only be separation.

The ancient town of Huangyao in Guilin is really beautiful, with beautiful mountains and rivers. I can't remember what it looked like when I passed by it ten years ago. It's a pity that the director made the Chinese facial makeup so vaguely integrated. Even [play bone] Huang Qiusheng could not get a deep seat in it.
