The script is adapted from Dickens' novel "Great Expectations", but it does not have as many fancy scenes as the novel, but it still retains some main points: the innocent little boy is tempted into the house where two dangerous women live residence. Those are two lonely and sad women who are good at having fun in hardship.
When Stella abandoned Finn, Finn shouted to Stella: How does it feel to have no feelings? Of course, this question cannot be answered at all for people who have no feelings.
The story was moved by the director from Victorian England to Florida. The story revolves around an isolated manor in Florida. It is a mysterious land filled with vines and piled up with a lot of money. The manor was brightly lit, but was eventually swallowed up by plants unscrupulously.
Finn lived with his sister and brother-in-law when he was young. When the sister left them, the brother-in-law did not abandon him. One day, Finn was seen by the manor hostess and invited him to the manor to play with her beautiful little niece. The two children were only about 10 years old. Finn had a talent for drawing since he was a child, so he drew a sketch for Stella. Stella kissed Finn. The shriveled old manor woman realized that Finn was completely fascinated by Stella. Now, this is a good opportunity for her to use Stella to avenge the man.
The hostess of the manor is a remarkable character in this story. She has been living in pain after being broken by her unfaithful lover. In the movie, Finn showed the wedding cake and pomp on the hostess's wedding day when he entered the manor for the first time. Although the tableware was covered with spider webs, he still could imagine how romantic and luxurious the wedding day was. The actress successfully portrayed the image of a poor and hateful old woman. Aside from overly exaggerated clothing and modeling, she was not without sense of humor. When Finn saw her cat, she asked: What do you feed it? Let it grow so big. She paused and replied: other cats. The hostess of the manor listened to the music and watched Stella and Finn dance with cold eyes. Such a young, rich, and beautiful woman seemed to say to the world: See what that man did to me.
Time flies. Finn and Stella met in New York, and it was another kiss by the pool. The proper grasp of the backlight of this cinematic lens made it more appealing than a sex lens. After a brief romantic encounter, Finn was able to hold an exhibition in the most famous place thanks to the help of a mysterious patron. Stella appeared in his sight again, with her boring fiancé.
"The Storm of Love" is a good movie, but it is only a good movie and cannot be called a classic. In the first half hour of the movie, I really felt shocked. Unfortunately, after this good beginning, the happy ending would have fallen into the cliche. The lens of the movie paid too much attention to the beauty of the picture. As a masterpiece of Dickens, we can see that he devoted much more effort to the plot arrangement of this novel than the screenwriter of the film. The episode where Finn meets the escaped prisoner Joe is limiting the film's potential.
Many of the plots that take place in Lost Paradise are like scenes frozen in place, becoming eternal. Stella and Finn are clearly aware of their admiration, but they also know that they will regret being together. The relationship between the two of them is actually based on a very delicate state, mixed love and hatred, I am Finn, it is impossible to smile and hate like in the movie, if the final ending, Finn turns red eyes, will he turn away and leave? better. The photographic music of the film adds a lot of color to the film. The scene in which Finn pulled Stella to dance in the restaurant was really intoxicating, but it was a pity that Stella also found herself lingering in the shadow of the hostess of the manor.
