    King Kong Girl and Norton... Love is like this. It is not surprising to fall in love with the only man you can love in a place where no one can rely. All piano music is played by Lang Lang. It is said that the Chinese theme song will be sung by Super Girl, and I want to die....

    Edward Norton really did not disappoint me. The love before birth, old age, sickness, and death can always be magnified. The love during cholera can obscure the infidelity in the peaceful age. Only death can set the stage for the rekindling of love. So Walt must die, or after the disaster passes. The neglected ugliness and shortcomings will always emerge without losing the opportunity in the days of the past, as if the silt in the pond cannot withstand the toss. Only when you die can you be...

    Reading Maugham's original work in the past two days, and revisiting the film after a lapse of ten years. It has to be said that the adaptation of the film has improved and enriched the original, compact and temperate, and deleted the wordy branches in the narrative, but it seems to be another story. The repentance of the hostess and the death of her husband are more powerful. In Maugham's writings, he was indifferent and lacking persuasiveness. I always believe that love is an emotion that...

    nun of truth

    She said, I fell in love when I was seventeen and fell in love with God.

    A silly girl with romantic fantasies about a religious career. I love it so intensely. But over time my emotions changed, he let me down, he ignored me, and we became indifferent, like an old couple sitting side by side on the...

    "The Veil": Hate is easier than love

    Movies adapted from novels are often different, and usually cause the loss of the original style to varying degrees. Domestic and foreign movies are all like this. Su Tong's "Women's Life" was adapted into a movie by Hou Yong, and Su Tong's dark and lazy writing style is completely absent. , And...

The Painted Veil quotes

  • [Walter and Kitty are out at the Chinese Opera with Charlie and Dorothy Townsend]

    Charlie Townsend: Are you enjoying it?

    Kitty Fane: I've never seen anything like it.

    Charlie Townsend: Every gesture has a meaning. See how she covers her face with the cloth? She is mourning her misfortune.

    Kitty Fane: What happened to her?

    Charlie Townsend: She was sold into slavery. Condemned to a life of drudgery and despair in a strange land far from home. See the chains? They represent the heavy bondage of her poor, trapped soul from which there is no escape, and so she weeps. She weeps for the lively, vivacious girl she once was, the lonely woman she has become... and most of all... she weeps for the love she'll never feel, for the love she'll never give.

    Kitty Fane: Is that really what she's saying?

    Charlie Townsend: Actually I haven't a clue what she's on about. I don't speak Chinese.

    [Charlie and Kitty laugh]

  • [Waddington walks in to the Fanes' new house]

    Waddington: You must be the doctor's wife. I've just met your husband and invited myself to dinner. I've kept the Watsons' cook for you - she's not bad. She'll have to do for your amah as well. We're a little short-handed here.

    [Remembering he hasn't introduced himself yet]

    Waddington: Sorry, my name is Waddington.
