    If filming is an art, then I think it has reached its peak in the 1940s and 1950s. On the one hand, the camera positions and lighting have become more and more exquisite, and on the other hand, the multi-angle of the story and the inner analysis have reached the extreme. Meeting Too Late is one such story, and it almost reminds me of Woolf. This late meeting story is almost entirely from Laura's point of view to tell the crazy and sultry love of an ordinary housewife in her...

    Poetic and delicate, it allows the audience to be infinitely close to every psychological activity of the heroine, until they bring themselves in: you are her, you know that people will inevitably lose their minds, and now is that time, you are surprised and...

    2019006 Great light. Classic, tasteful and intense! David Lean romanticized this extramarital affair story, very meticulously based on the confidence that the heroine failed to tell her husband as the main line, and the struggle and pain made the beauty and intensity of love more prominent , touching and intoxicating.

    Not too late, just no direction

    Everything in the world is changing, and emotions are always changing little.
    I also felt the same when I saw the black and white film "Brief encounter". Extramarital love in 1945, or just love, is basically indistinguishable from modern love. If you watch this movie carefully, if you happen to...

    spring dream autumn cloud

    The translation of the title of the film is not ideal. The original meaning in English is "short-lived encounter". Personally, I think it can be translated as "Spring Dreams and Autumn Clouds". Lotte "Come like a spring dream for a long time, and go away like a cloud of nowhere to be found."

Brief Encounter quotes

  • Laura Jesson: [Secret thoughts] I imagined him holding me in his arms. I imagined being with him in all sorts of glamorous circumstances. It was one of those absurd fantasies, just like one has when one is a girl being wooed and married by the idea of ones dreams.

  • Laura Jesson: [Secret thoughts] I starred out of that railway carriage window into the dark and watched the deem trees and the telegraph posts slipping by. And through them I saw Alec and me. Alec and me, perhaps a little younger than we are now, but just as much in love and we have nothing in the way. I saw us in Paris, in a box at the opera. The orchestra was tuning up. Then we were in Venice, drifting along the Grand Canal in a gondola with the sound of mandolins coming to us over the water. I saw us traveling far away together. All the places I've always longed to go. I saw us leaning on the rail of a ship, looking at the sea and stars. Standing on a tropical beach, in the moonlight, with the palm trees sighing above us. Then the palm trees changed into those pallided willows by the canal, just before the level crossing. And all the silly dreams disappeared. And I got out at Ketchworth and gave up my ticket and walked home as usual. Quite soberly and without wings. Without any wings at all.
