The courage to wait and dare to love

How to start this story? In addition to the waves, they are still waves, roaring against the reefs, and when the tide ebbs, the heart is as clear as being washed. This was an ordinary morning, but the Polish young Andrea, who accidentally fell into the water and fainted on the shore, entered Janet's vision and Ursula's vision. world. They asked someone to take him home, treat him, feed him, buy him clothes, and stumble upon his musical talent. Looking at Andrea, Ursula's eyes were as clear as spring water, and the corners of her slightly raised mouth contained With countless words of praise, her red palms hide her increasingly uncontrollable love. This is a very ordinary plot, and the versatile boy attracts the admiration of countless young girls, but here Janet and Ursula are both old people in their sixties, facing Andrea - a young man in her twenties - -Ursula's emotion always wears the caring coat of the elders. Maybe it's because I love to delve into the subtext too much. I think the names of the sisters have deep meanings. Ursula means "fearless person" and Janet is "girl". This film is about this kind of fearless love, which transcends age. , across borders, irrelevant feedback, irrelevant results.

Ursula and Janet live together. In this house without men, Janet and the maid will jump out when a male role is needed. It is no wonder that Ursula still has a desire for love. She is still a girl in her heart, and she still desires love, even if Just a one-man show. She is a fearless person. In contrast, when Janet knew she liked Andrea, she reminded Andrea from an ordinary person's point of view that Andrea was a boy and that such emotional investment was fruitless. Ursula nodded, she didn't know it, but she pressed Follow her heart and do a lot of little things for him that he doesn't know the meaning of. Every time she is with him, she is very happy, and I can smile knowingly at every move, because it is not unfamiliar, pure love can exist for a lifetime, As long as the heart is pure, all actions are so lovely: she picks up Andrea's freshly cut hair and hides it behind her, she puts a small wildflower on his breakfast plate, she slowly approaches her legs with trembling hands Andrea's blond hair on top, she got up in the middle of the night and walked into his room to stare, she hid the letter from the young girl to Andrea, she was in front of him like a girl who had done something wrong, and he could impatiently look at him. Let Ursula bow her head in shame and hit the sweater.

The whole story is very simple, but very smooth. Young people will think of their old age, and old people will think of their youth, so this feeling that can stir people's hearts for decades has touched countless women, including me, of course. I think I gained courage: the courage to wait and the courage to love. I once saw a diary saying that "there will always be someone waiting for you". Although I believed it, I was always impatient, afraid of missing out, and looked around for nothing. But even at Ursula's age, as long as I don't lose courage, I can still love, so wait, wait, and finally add Ursula's courage to give up decisively, turn around and leave when there is a wall in front of me, that beautiful moment. Emotions, heartbeats, and heartbreaks are all to yourself.

    Three stars are all given to the two heroines. This play gives Judi more room to play. Of course, she also grasped it very well, showing the feeling of an 18-year-old girl's first love. Other than that, there are basically no highlights. The script is especially worth complaining, and there is also a problem with the rhythm. It is inexplicable that it has become a successful history of musical wizards. The director's skill is really average, and the extraordinary temperament is only suitable for acting.

    I don't think Ursula had an unforgettable love for Andrea, but a woman who had never tasted love, and a crush on a handsome young man who was brought to her door by the waves. For a woman in her seventies to fall in love with a guy in his early twenties, it feels both sympathetic and a little silly, because it's totally unfruitful love. In fact, after thinking about it, even if she was of the same age, with the background of Andrea becoming a world-renowned violin player, she would never fall in love with the daughter of an ordinary Cornish squire, not to mention she was so plain. So, consider it a spring dream. My favorite is the ending, where the sisters dressed up to listen to Andrea's performance, and left immediately after talking to him, only to see the two backs at the end of the promenade. Point-and-stop is the way I like to handle it.
