Five Reasons to Love You - "A Room with a View"
Reason 1: Ivory Met Foster
British 19th-century British writer EM Foster, who is as famous as DH Lawrence, Henry James, etc., is the author of "Watching". Novels such as "A Room with a View", "Howard Manor", "Morris", and "A Trip to India" have all been put on the movie screen, among which "A Room with a View" (8 nominations by OSCAR), "Howard" The Manor (10 OSCAR nominations) and Morris were all directed by James Ivory, while Journey to India (10 OSCAR nominations) was directed by David Lean (The Arabian Lawrence" and "Doctor Zhivago"). James Avery is good at adapting famous works, and his works have a strong British style and literary flavor. His representative works are also adapted from Henry James's "EROPEAN", "The Bostonian" (THE BOSTON), "Golden Bowl" "(GOLEDN BOWL), etc.
Reason 2: Classic Beauty Helena Boham Carter
Helena may not be amazing, but she is definitely a classic beauty on the literary stage, especially her unique and strong British accent. It seems that she was born to interpret British classical literature. She also starred in Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" "(THE TWELTH NIGHT), Foster's "A Room with a View" and "Howard Park", Henry James' "The Wings of Dove" (THE WINGS OF DOVE) and other films.
Reason 3: Puccini and
Canava's singing KIRI TE KANAWA is one of the most outstanding sopranos in the classical world. Stance became famous. PUCCINI is a musical master on the same level as Verdi (VERDI) and Rossini (ROSINNI) in the opera world. His representative works include "Tosca", "Madame Butterfly", "Turando" and so on. The title of this film uses PUCCINI's most famous aria, "My Dear Dad" (O, MIO BABIRRO CARO from the opera "Jani-Skiki"), and in the reeds Lucy and George kiss for the first time A scene from "CHI IL BEL SOGNO DI DORETTA" (from the opera "The Swallow")
Reason 4: "A room with a view"
Florence is definitely a place to visit, it is also the center of the Italian Renaissance, and Rome and Venice make up the most perfect landscape in Italy. Like Egypt from "Nile Massacre" and Venice from "Death in Venice", to see Florence, you must book a "room with a view."
Reason 5: The most complete love
There is nothing more moving than love in a movie, just as the purest love in "The Age of Innocence", the most subdued love in "In the Mood for Love", the most poignant love in "Broken Soul", "Look at the Love". A Room with a View" shows us the most complete love: from the first meeting of Lucy and George at the dining table, the exchange of rooms, Mr. In the violet reeds, George's involuntary kiss was interrupted by Shanault's cry and stopped abruptly, then Cecil's marriage proposal was accepted by Lucy, George accidentally became Cecil's tenant, Lavez's novel Hearing by George, Lucy's lies to Cecil/George and everyone, finally to Mr. Emerson's words to move Lucy, and revisit George Florence. This is the whole process of a person's first love: curiosity, attraction, confusion, temptation, surrender, lies, self-deception, cognition, pursuit.
