    The mysterious phenomenon creates a strange and ambiguous atmosphere, which is very consistent with Foster's text, and also continues the consistent image tone of David Lean; a number of characters and an event tie up the collision of two peoples, and the door is not right. Religion and culture, full of false friendships, still have to reveal the veil of tenderness in the end; as for explaining the mystery of the cave, I think the heroine stares blankly above the roof for a moment at the end of...

    From those Indians, I see all kinds of Chinese shadows. The backward Indians are either extreme or humble. Few people can view foreigners from a normal and equal perspective, especially the British who rule them. In fact, human beings themselves are not...

    Would love to know if there is any cave that sounds uncomfortable. I don't like the procrastination...

    The old movie is really amazing, every scene is presented in a textbook style, and there are basically no scenes for more than three hours. Although the story itself is very simple, the amount of information is very large. The scene where the local lawyer goes away has the feeling of a stage play. In other words, the whole film actually has a strong classical style, full of literature and...

    9 points work, it is a very comfortable movie to watch. The first hour or so of this film made me mistakenly think that this film is an Indian tourist film, but the plot suddenly changed in the last hour of the film, and all the foreshadowings turned into dramatic conflicts, full of tension. The ending is also very good. The whole story and the director's lens make this film a very good viewing experience. David Lean can always package his film like a work of art without lack of drama, a very...

    Seeing Lean's film seems to really understand the meaning of the word gentleman. Each of Lean's characters has its own light of humanism, which is completely different from some "gentlemen" who seem to be polite and serious but are arrogant and hypocritical. Lawrence doesn't care what the "gentlemen" think of himself. Defending a friend and quitting the British Bridge Club. It is a pity that the politicians and the barbaric country of Arabia are not worthy of Lawrence's ideals, nor are Indian...

    Oriental Studies. The mouth gold package props are in place. The use of anti-aircraft mirror editing in place is almost miraculous. Experienced in group performance control. In the torrent of the times, everyone is involuntarily coerced, and it is very simple to understand the motive of the heroine: it is just to find an excuse to make a big fuss away from the court's fiance judge's home court to break up the terrible prospect of marriage....

    Probably my favorite David Lean work. Because of such a simple and rude but exquisitely expressed cultural conflict story (of course not a cliché at that time), it turns a travel film that can easily go to boring into a wonderful one. The tone that can be considered "nostalgic" in retrospect now feels directly inherited by James Ivory in subsequent works, and pulls off the sad color of the imperial past in the...

    David Lean's third installment, which was much better than expected, made me more sure about "don't like David Lean", maybe I thought he was dealing with too much scribbling in the text. Travel is a natural metaphor for the conflicting cultures of different groups. In addition to the background of the film, you can already know the location of the film without knowing the plot. Originally, both sides had the mentality of eliminating prejudice - the female protagonist was curious and respectful...

    trip to india

    EM Forster traveled in India in 1912-13, but soon after the outbreak of the First World War, he joined the Red Cross and served in Alexandria, Egypt. There he met the Greek poet CPCavafy and published his collection of poems, Pharos and Pharillon. In 1921 Forster returned to India to work as a...

A Passage to India quotes

  • Mrs. Moore: Sometimes I think too much fuss is made about marriage. Century after century of carnal embracement, and we're still no nearer understanding one another. Goodnight.

  • Mrs. Moore: Good? You're speaking about power. The whole of this entertainment is an exercise in power, and the subtle pleasures of personal superiority.
