The scene that made Todd pay tribute to the restaurant

In the movie that Directing strategy watched, in the first frame of the restaurant, I wanted to take a bench and say, ah, carol. This is the movie that Todd Haynes pays tribute to. I have always wanted to watch it, but I didn't expect it to be so fateful. Coupled with the familiar Yorkshire accent of the heroine, I have an infinite favorable impression of this movie. In fact, there is nothing particularly touching about the whole movie. There were very few movies in that era that were shot from the perspective of women, so in fact, the men in this film are basically decorations, and this kind of narrative makes me unable to experience this incident. How serious is it. The only thing that touched was the last dialogue,

Fred Jesson: You've been a long way away.

Laura Jesson: Yes.

Fred Jesson: Thank you for coming back to me.

One of the interesting points during the discussion is that when the film was released, the posters in many places in the UK featured the proprietress of the cafe and the actors of the train station staff starring (I can’t remember the name, but a famous British actor).

    After brushing the 84 remake version, the old version of ethics is indeed very traditional. The heroine of the 84 version has no children, so the two finally HAPPY ENDING is also logical. The old version must be deducted by one star, because the narrative is based on the heroine's perspective from beginning to end, and the sudden insertion of a God's perspective in the scene of escaping from the apartment seems very unnatural.

    If filming is an art, then I think it has reached its peak in the 1940s and 1950s. On the one hand, the camera positions and lighting have become more and more exquisite, and on the other hand, the multi-angle of the story and the inner analysis have reached the extreme. Meeting Too Late is one such story, and it almost reminds me of Woolf. This late meeting story is almost entirely from Laura's point of view to tell the crazy and sultry love of an ordinary housewife in her heart

Brief Encounter quotes

  • Dr. Alec Harvey: I love you. I love your wide eyes, the way you smile, your shyness, and the way you laugh at my jokes.

    Laura Jesson: [whimpers] Please don't.

    Dr. Alec Harvey: I love you. I love you. You love me too. It's no use pretending it hasn't happened cause it has.

    Laura Jesson: Yes it has. I don't want to pretend anything either to you or to anyone else. But from now on, I shall have to. That's what's wrong. Don't you see? That's what spoils everything. That's why we must stop, here and now, talking like this. We're neither of us free to love each other. There's too much in the way. There's still time, if we control ourselves and behave like sensible human beings. There's still time.

  • Fred Jesson: [playing the crossword puzzle] You're a poetry addict. See if you can help me over this. It's Keats. 'When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face / Huge cloudy symbols of a high _______.' Something that's seven letters.

    Laura Jesson: Romance, I think. I'm almost sure it is. 'Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance.' It will be in the Oxford Book of English Verse.

    Fred Jesson: No, it's right I'm sure. It fits in with 'delirium' and 'Baluchistan.
