    The ending re-cuts the opening scene with another camera. The doctor's hand was on Lola's shoulder. Although the shot was only 1 second, both the audience and Lola felt that it stayed for a long time. Lola's POV: The doctor exits the store, the camera is on the closed door, and then Dolly, who is chattering, sits down to block his view. An inner monologue then explains why Lola was out for a while in the opening scene. The heroine of "84 Charing Cross" saw the...

    What kind of love is this? It is clearly an impulsive passion. If the foundation is not solid, it will inevitably lead to failure. Hate this story as much as you hate "The English Patient"! Those who have betrayed their families and loved ones must suffer hard in their hearts! Score only for the actor's excellent acting and directing...

    Nothing lasts forever, love is like this, despair is like this; forgive me for meeting you for the first time; the crossword guy who is used to seeing the autumn moon and spring breeze is the...

    The psychological portrayal of the heroine is in place, creating a very wonderful atmosphere, and it is also...

    Too accurate. I didn't think such violent things could happen to ordinary...

    One of David Lean's best works. The emotion is delicate, the picture is smooth, and the performance is superb. DVD version at...

    Lean is very restrained, and the scenes that show the heroine's emotions are just a little tilted to the camera, so the film is also very restrained, just like the feeling of surging undercurrents of La Er. British cultured language always sounds revered, like an emotional vehicle born for the theatre. The introduction of the husband and wife's different interests through crossword puzzles and records left on the record player was my greatest...

    David Lean's middle-aged emotional film. No matter how many writers and filmmakers describe the torrent of love, when it does hit the heart, no one can quite resist. The beginning of the story is ordinary, they met briefly on the platform, they secretly dated every Thursday, and they chose to separate after a month. Whether it's true love or excitement, from longing to fear, from hope to have the decision to let go, it's a long...

    Whether it's a late epic or this early little style, Lean's films are always emotionally charged. A simple middle-aged story of short-term derailment, which is extremely vivid because of the successful portrayal of details, which is the advantage of British films. As far as I can tell, the heroine's performance is the best in the 1940s, it's real and touching! The end of the tilt lens magic...

    A mediocre extramarital affair, which made everything, is not a little bit worse than Fellini's escape and fun in dealing with the same subject. The British are really...

    Suppression under insolence - the British version of spring in a small town

    If I didn't mention it in the interview, I met you, I met you late, this old British film, it is estimated that few people would know about it. Like China in the 1980s and 1990s, there were still many ideas of hierarchy left in Britain at that time, Many traditional ethical and moral ideas have a...

    The Lonely Wife's Three Kinds of Intimacy

    This film was filmed in 1945 and is the work of David Lean, which can be said to be the originator of extramarital affairs. Nowadays, extramarital affairs movies and TV dramas, almost as soon as they come out, are completely wiped out, humming, humming, and fighting. It's no wonder that the pure...

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.
