About the possibility of fate

The cinema was unexpectedly full of literary and artistic youths. The two girls next to me were fidgeting with excitement and discussing heatedly before the performance. At the beginning of the show, when someone moved around in the seat a little bit or came late, they would grumble instinctively. It seems that they are looking forward to this movie very much, or they have watched this movie many times, and this time they are revisiting it. The show tonight is "A Room With a View", an old British film made in 1985. I understand their piety, the magic of a good movie. I'm not sure if I really understood the movie. Perhaps adapted from a literary masterpiece, the lines of this film have a slightly blunt literary flavor, like the obscure monologues in sand dramas. But this is also the charm of British films - a strong humanistic atmosphere. I like the narrative rhythm of this British drama. It's slow and slow, like sitting on a raft floating on a calm lake, with a panoramic view of the lake and mountains. With "O mio babbino Caro" Kagura-like classical melody sounded, the audience came to Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, and saw two women in an inn expressing dissatisfaction with a room with no view... This story is not new, it seems to be in Saying "Fate is destined": changing rooms for a love relationship, and then being blocked by various resistances and misunderstandings, in the end the lovers still get married. A Room with a View was published in 1908. At that time, the class concept of British society was still very strong, so this novel was still very advanced in a certain sense. For example, women could break through the shackles of class to pursue true love instead of sacrificing themselves for the family, such as the strong affirmation of feminism. . The hero George said to the heroine Lucy: "You can't marry someone who doesn't understand women. He just treats you as a painting to decorate himself, just like music or books. I love you. I want You have your own thoughts, your own opinions and feelings. Even when you are in my arms." This view of love is heartily supported by countless female audiences even now. "Women always like a room with a view, and for men, the view is in the heart. The blue sky, the singing of the birds, it's all in the heart." Although George's father Emerson Sr. Talking, not likable everywhere, but this sentence he said is definitely a golden sentence, and it is also the finishing touch of the film. Women all want men to love her including her thoughts, not just appreciate her as a painting or a landscape, because she is alive. George was born in the lower class, with a dignified appearance, without the hypocrisy of the upper class, he is frank and fearless, loves nature, and is full of the vitality and passion of life. This is probably the most ideal partner in a woman's heart. In contrast, the stoic, reserved, mean and slightly neurotic young aristocratic young man played by Daniel Day-Lewis who lives only in books is like a clown. George's charisma and sincerity of love finally broke through the prejudice of the class. Even Lucy's mother said that he "receives people very well", and his cousin Charlotte, who hated him at first, also stood by him. At first I thought that Lucy didn't choose George because of the opposition of the family. But when I saw her accepting the proposal from Lewis' "weird" and looking happy, I think she actually always thought that George was just as untrustworthy as any other man, a rude and impulsive "barbarian" ". At this time, I was anxious for Lucy and George: if the parting in Florence was the unexpected end of their fate, then the chance reunion after returning to England has to be said to be an arrangement of God. But after the reunion, Lucy still insisted on her original prejudice and almost lost her true love Arm remorse for life. So I understand, in fact, the biggest resistance to love is not outside, but care about each other's heart. No matter how strong the secular etiquette is, and no matter how resolute the family opposes, at most the result is that the peacock will fly southeast. As long as the two love each other and go hand in hand, everything is a paper tiger. But if the distance between the two hearts is too far, various misunderstandings will lead to wrong choices, wrong marriages and then wrong life. That's the real tragedy! So the great thing about Austin's "Pride and Prejudice" is that it downplays the impact of the outside world on love. On the contrary, the secular world supports lovers in love, and the biggest obstacle to whether they can come together in the end is each other's arrogance and prejudice. So this is the executioner of love and the stumbling block of happiness. If you understand who you should choose to spend your life with, then don't hesitate, fuck worldly prejudice, fuck misunderstandings, fuck gossip. Just say aloud to the world, "Bless me!" and run like a happy fool to the one who's been waiting for you for so long. Novels are fiction, and movies can be deceiving. If in reality they end up missing, then we will be sad and no longer believe in fate. But at least we should also understand a truth: happiness is a small probability event, you can be hit if you don’t sleep hard, and everyone can be happy if you don’t turn a blind eye, so don’t forget to actively move closer to true love while dreaming, and don’t let God be Too tired to be too lazy to fulfill your happiness. There are several interesting details about this film: 1. "A Room with a View" is one of the representative works of the famous British novelist E·M·Foster in the 20th century. His most well-known works include "Morris" and "Howard Manor", which have all been put on the screen and made famous in the history of film, and the director turned out to be the same person, that is, the director of the film, James Ivory. 2. This film brings together many of the best British actors, most of whom are now hall-level figures, such as Maggie Smith, Helena Bonham Carter, Judi Dench, Daniel Day-Lewis... ...It's hard to imagine that the Gothic Queen Helena was once so fresh and lovely, and the great God Lewis had such an alternative performance. 3. E·M·Foster himself is gay, so if the story of Lucy and George in the film is replaced by two same sex, it makes sense. And actor Rupert Graves, who played the servant Sander in the classic gay movie "Maurice," plays Lucy's naughty and lovable brother in a wooded pond with George and Pastor Pee. The playful bathing scene hints that he may be gay. After watching this movie, I suddenly wanted to travel to Florence and the English countryside, which are rich in European style, and I also suddenly wanted to have a chance encounter like Lucy and George on the journey or in the inn. Of course, the premise is to have a transparent and resolute heart, otherwise even if you encounter fate, you will go with the wind.
