Moment to eternity

Is it possible for movies to go beyond words? Turn a popular tabloid literary bad book into a classic movie. Eastwood did it. This movie is

the little book I read. It uses movie posters as the cover. The plot is I have long forgotten that the tabloid literary sense of the language still exists today. I remember I threw a book and laughed: Haha, there are such books in the United States too!
The movie directed by Eastwood and starring Meryl Streep is unforgettable for a long time.
They just sublimated a popular sad romance story to the height of ideals and responsibility, passion and disillusionment.

As you grow older, you will gradually develop a sense of disillusionment, panic, and anxiety about ordinary life, and there is a kind of "fear that life will do nothing in the end". It is said that even the older you are, this fear will disappear. , It becomes numb, mixed eating and so on.

The story takes place in the gap between the heroine's fear and numbness. All the good things start from a joke on the bridge. She has experienced four beautiful days in her life and the endless secret love that lasted for the second half of her life.
She is from Italy. At the end of World War II, how many beautiful and lovely Italian girls, because of the girly dreams they weaved, followed the rough American soldiers to marry the United States. What awaits them is a real life, farms, bullpens, and large tractors. Three meals, children and grandchildren around their knees... The lives of the children are unfolding, and her life is withering.

The kitchen in the movie mostly shows the boring life and desperate life of the heroine. For example, in "Road to Revolution", Winslet carefully cuts potatoes and onions, next to the smoky fried steak, and then she carefully Washing large and small plates, this kind of scene is most of the life, repeating, rarely feels warm but desperate, as in "Tokyo Tower", the sweet heroine cooks food but Can't wait for the anger of the queen of love. Kitchen romances like "Delicious Relationship" and "Chocolate" are so rare that they seem to be unreal like dreams, as if they can only exist in imagination.

The red earth of American towns, the red skin of Streep and the sunset in late summer, the rich and hot tones create a kind of anxiety and anxiety that are burnt by the boring life. At this time, the photographer from National Geographic appeared, like a butterfly flying into her window, and he was so rough and gentle, elegant and polite, he picked a bunch under the bridge like a gentleman. The flower was given to her, thanked her for her help, love turned a person into a genius, she joked that the flower is poisonous, and then looked at him panicked, laughed happily, and instantly returned to the dream. Girlhood.

She has a dream that most girls would have when they were girls: a samurai took her to travel around the world on colorful auspicious clouds, to experience a colorful life, countless thrills, romance and warmth. Such a dream will never wake up in a lifetime. They fall in love, and when they meet each other, they will win but countless people.

Although love only lasts for four days, it is so complete that it contains all the greed, hatred and madness in love. They cook, make love, and make love talks. She is spread all over the world because he may not exist at all. His girlfriend was jealous and furious. She worries that falling in love is easy and difficult to get along with. She was worried that he was only a momentary heartbeat and would not love her forever. . . . .

In the United States during that period of ascendancy, in a small town under the rule of Protestant ethics, adultery and affair had to face tremendous pressure from public opinion, which would almost destroy her and her relatives' lives. However, she was not afraid of these, but thinking about the family, she still gave up elopement, the last candlelight dinner, she had to divide things, and it won't matter tomorrow. . . .

She calmly welcomed her husband and children back, as if nothing had ever happened. In the heavy rain, the photographer waited for her final decision, and she held the car door handle red. . . . . . The photographer got into the car in despair and drove away. He finally did not prove his sincerity and left with sadness and melancholy.

Watching her choice at the end of the film, it may really be the best ending. She loves her husband and family, and loves this dreamlike "affair". Her life is hardly disturbed. She used these four days to resist fate, gave her an explanation for her insignificant life, and relieved her anxiety in life. Even, the relics she left to her children-6 big secret diaries-reopened the lives of a pair of children . Since then, they no longer want to endure their unsatisfactory lives. I think, as a mother, this is the greatest will.

I have been feeling for a long time. I don’t think this is just a "middle-aged derailment" love movie. She fell in front of her fate, just like a challenger who knew she was going to die. She used her life to let the sword of fate be on her. There are flaws in the body, and an important reference for the next challenger. And believe that in the end someone can win.

So, you should never put up with the mediocre life, and never bury your dreams in the ground anymore.

The Bridges of Madison County quotes

  • Francesca: Robert, please. You don't understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you're expected move again only you don't remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you.

    Robert Kincaid: But now that you have it...

    Francesca: I want to keep it forever. I want to love you the way I do now the rest of my life. Don't you understand... we'll lose it if we leave. I can't make an entire life disappear to start a new one. All I can do is try to hold onto to both. Help me. Help me not lose loving you.

  • Robert: The old dreams were good dreams; they didn't work out, but glad I had them.
