Revisit old movies

When I was a child, I watched the dubbed version above, and I had a general impression of the plot.
I recently revisited this version on the big screen, and the forgotten plot reappeared in front of my eyes.

The heroine looks okay, but there are a lot of freckles under the eyes, which makes her look old. The Indian doctor is very handsome. In order to please the British, he speaks a little silly. Later, it caused a misunderstanding. Fortunately, the heroine did not discriminate against Indians and told the truth.
The film has a certain depth of thought, a misunderstanding of Indians' dissatisfaction with colonialism. No wonder I didn't think it looked good when I was a child, but I liked it when I grew up.

    The old movie is really amazing, every scene is presented in a textbook style, and there are basically no scenes for more than three hours. Although the story itself is very simple, the amount of information is very large. The scene where the local lawyer goes away has the feeling of a stage play. In other words, the whole film actually has a strong classical style, full of literature and drama.

    Whether it is the grand picture, the height of thought or the exquisite lines that have been polished several times, it can be called epic. In this sense, the reflection on imperial colonization is also torturing human nature, and the Hindu reincarnation and doom theory are integrated into the plot design.

  • Mrs. Moore: Sometimes I think too much fuss is made about marriage. Century after century of carnal embracement, and we're still no nearer understanding one another. Goodnight.
