/(2008)

The film is based on the life story of the talented British poet Dylan Thomas

It tells the story of two women who met because of the war

Vera Phillips (Keira Knightley) and Caitlin Thomas (Sienna Miller)

In the fall of love for the genius poet Dylan Thomas (Matthew Rhys)

Build a deep friendship

About a friendship that is higher than love

And the story that was buried in love

It's a pity

Blame it on me

On the one hand, Vera is the soul friend and first love of Thomas' childhood sweetheart.

The wartime meeting ended because of Thomas' inability to specialize

And he fell in love with officer William Crick (Cillian Murphy) and entered into marriage

As a friend of his hometown, Vera can't refuse Thomas' needs for money and life

Vera used his military allowance during William's expedition

To maintain Thomas' huge living expenses

to maintain his poetic nature and "circle life"

Catherine, on the other hand, is the constant wife of Thomas.

From the moment she stepped on the train

She chose this free-spirited man

Abandoned her beauty as a young woman

If you still remember that scene on the train

It shows that her beauty is enough to sway people's hearts

But she chose to be someone's wife

and later mother

While Katherine was tormented by Thomas's promiscuity over and over again

but always love him

Catherine couldn't help but taste the "forbidden fruit" even in difficult days

But an unfortunate pregnancy made her suffer

She told Vera why the two women confided to each other

Katherine couldn't help but bring up Vera's relationship with Thomas

Admiring each other but keeping your distance is one thing

It's another thing to betray a friend and cross the line

At that time, Vera obviously did not know the consequences of crossing the line

It's a pity that the bright smile on the seaside that afternoon was the last frame

Vera and Katherine's friendship is coming to an end

Eye to eye is yesterday

There is a rift between Vera and Catherine

Precisely because there was a crossing between Vera and Thomas

We can understand that it was a kind of "fill" for Officer William Crick's vacancy

But I believe it's just another girl for Thomas

A girl who admires his talent

It enabled him to recall the 15-year-old girl on the beach back then

Vera has become a godsend for him as poetic material

And this betrayal apparently sow the seeds of the relationship between the four

William returns from the battlefield with a changed temperament

He is no longer the amorous officer who enthusiastically chased Vera.

Witness the ruthlessness of bloody bullets on the battlefield leads to postwar stress disorder

makes him his own wife for his children

Wife's relationship with Thomas is more sensitive

He couldn't listen to the rhetoric of the literati Yake at the wine table about the war

I can't hear the voices of others talking about my wife.

In a fit of rage, fires on Thomas and Katherine's house

This forced William to go to court-martial to face trial

So Vera, Katherine, and Thomas officially came to an end in this puzzling ambiguous relationship in the war-torn era.

With Vera and Thomas' relationship

This matter should have been settled in court

However, the poetic Thomas is still obsessed with the 15-year-old girl

He thinks Vera is still his girl and can't accept his girl falling in love with someone else

So a plan of revenge is brewing in my heart

Thomas in court for all the falsehoods

designed to hurt william

However, this act shocked Vera.

She is no longer Thomas' star no longer his inspiration

Because now Vera has only William in her heart

she doesn't want anyone else

After William's release, the crowd paused across the street

At this point the two women looked at each other and they knew it was over forever

The friendship between the two once vowed, betrayed, and cared for

These many emotions are only worth a look and a smile

The Thomas family moved out

Vera says "be good" to Katherine

This is the last thing on the mind of two women

  • Dylan Thomas: Where's our son?

    Caitlin MacNamara: Chopped up in little bids and packed with my knickers in the suitcase.

  • Vera Phillips: I don't melt at the sight of a uniform, that's all. Sod it. I don't like nosy parkers.

    Caitlin MacNamara: It was a civil question. I could have said, "Are you after my husband?" But I didn't.

    Vera Phillips: Heartache, that's what I see in a uniform. I'm not gonna love someone just to have them die off on me.
