Veil

this is last year's movie, right? I haven't watched it since I was off. Compared to Hollywood commercials, I prefer European movies.
"The Veil" comes from Hollywood, but it has the temperament of European movies. After all, it is adapted from the original work of the same name by the British novelist Maugham.
Often I am attracted by the cover of the record and like this record before I really listen to her. I am often touched by the music of a movie, and I can grasp and feel her temperament before seeing her. Being attracted by "The Veil" also began with her theme song.
My friend asked me to listen, and then asked me how it feels? I say it is like flowing water, simple and clear, light and smart. Also like tears, it is as clear and sincere as a crystal fairy tale, giving people warmth, strength and courage.
I walk by the clear spring water, the
spring water is so beautiful, I bathe by the water,
I have loved you for a long time, and I will never forget it.
Lie down under the oak leaves to dry your body,
and the yellow warbler is singing on the high branches.
I have loved you for a long time and will never forget.
Sing, Huang Ying, sing, you are in a good mood,
you are full of joy, but my heart is crying,
I have loved you for a long time and will never forget.
I lost my friend, somehow,
rejected him for a bouquet of roses,
I have loved you for a long time, and I will never forget.
I hope that rose is still blooming,
and my friend still loves me.
I have loved you for a long time and will never forget.

The story narrated in the movie is as concise as the melody and lyrics, but mellow.
In the story, the beautiful and prosperous woman has a longing for a new life and love. But she didn't realize that under the veil of beauty, life was not what she imagined.
It turns out that the beauty is only the veil. The beautiful veil is lifted. What is facing is a huge emptiness. The love in her heart is so vain and ethereal, how can it not stand the test of reality and time, what about love? What should marriage be like?
How can I have the state sung in the song, "I have loved you for a long time and will never forget."
At the end of the story, the lover leaves forever, but the woman is no longer confused and confused about life. She knows that life is not what she originally imagined, but it is not sad and hopeless.
To understand a person is more than measuring him with the ruler in his heart, whether a person is worthy of love, or whether he will fall in love with him, and more is not what he can bring you.
As the nun said in the story: I fell in love at the age of seventeen and fell in love with God, a silly girl who has a romantic fantasy about a religious career, but my love is so passionate. As time goes by, my emotions change. Now, he let me down, he ignored me, and we became indifferent, like an old couple sitting on the sofa side by side, but rarely talked to each other, but he knew that I would never leave him.................. The
story stops dumbly here, which is just right, and I won’t say more. The lover leaves forever, leaving behind the heroine's tears and the feelings she never expected to have, and these will allow us to continue to feel and appreciate the beauty of this process and change. Is that love? probably. But it's not the kind of love it was at first love. Is it a responsibility? It should be, but it may have an unexpected beauty.
The scene of the London flower shop appeared twice in the story. The first time it happened at the beginning of the story. It seemed to have buried a question-"It looks a little silly, and it takes energy to take care of those things that are going to die." Should I do that stupid thing? Spend energy to take care of those things that will eventually die, such as flowers, love, and life that we think are important and beautiful, but maybe one day the world is not so good, and the good things that were once will wither and disappear like beautiful flowers.
There are two choices here. One is that they no longer have any illusions about life, just like the heroine’s parents. Although they know that flowers are beautiful, and they don’t care about the amount of money they spend on them, they think it’s Things are meaningless, so I don't like flowers and don't buy flowers. They no longer have any beautiful dreams about life, and following the secular lifestyle is the right way they think, rights, money, what can be seen, and what can be grasped are meaningful.
After all, the heroine is young, and the veil floating above reality has not been uncovered. In her eyes, flowers are beautiful, and life is full of hope for her.
In life, people will always encounter similar dilemmas unknowingly. One is a ready-made way, but because the ready-made is predictable, it is not attractive to people. The other is an unknown road, and it is because of the unknown that it always feels like a beautiful and charming veil.
How to choose?
The end of the story goes back to this flower-filled place in London again, and the same question is raised again: It seems a little stupid, they will wither in less than a week, is it worth it? But this time the heroine got a definite answer from her son: I think they are pretty.
This sentence from my son, I think in the heart of the heroine who has gone through such a mental journey, there should be a different explanation. The veil is charming. Although the real life is not like this, life can also be full of hope. And wonderful.
