      housewife dream

      David Lean filmed "Meet Hate Late" in 1945, half a century earlier than Lao Ke's covered bridge.

      However, it also proves that extramarital affairs are timeless and fragrant activities of human beings, which are passed down from generation to generation.

      The 1945 film is also a novel adaptation, and the script is also quite novel. The 86-minute short story happens to be a novel, the seasoning is Rachmaninoff, and the actress's delicate performance is absolutely top-grade;...

      Brief Encounter

      Sula has a happy family: a respectful husband and a very lovely son. She lives on the outskirts of London, and takes the train to the market near Milderford station every Thursday to buy a week's worth of supplies. However, on a Thursday evening, Sulla, who was waiting in the station waiting room as usual, was fascinated by a grain of coal. When she saw it, when she was helpless, a middle-aged male doctor who was waiting for another bus to return home warmly and dexterously relieved her pain....

      Why not meet those who have been there all the time is enough to be content

      The span of a movie can be three days when a prisoner is released on bail, it can be four weeks when the platform meets every Thursday, or it can be 124 hours stuck in a crevice in the Grand Canyon. Platform 4 is your i's car and my car. Three minutes after you, the brief encounter on the third platform is translated as meeting and hate late, but some meetings do not necessarily want forever, so why don't you mind whether it is early or late. In
      secular love, people are always discussing...

      Turns out the truth is 'true love always comes after marriage'

      Very funny. Tired of the dull marriage and a husband who trusts him 100%, he encounters a man who helps him, but gradually enlarges a little goodwill into love. No matter how you look at it, it's a housewife's idle self YY. Later, at the right time, the man read out her little thought, and they hit it off immediately. Men will not refuse and may be complacent about the good thing that someone loves them. The once-a-week connection mode is undoubtedly exciting and hopeful, and the happiness of...

      Love is never too late to meet.

      Love is never too late to meet.
      The ups and downs of the mood, the eagerly looking forward to the concentration, the uncontrolled behavior, the contradiction between the sensibility and the rationality, the joy of meeting and the sorrow of not being able to meet. Passion and love melt the heart and fall into your arms like a child. In the movie, I clearly saw the shadow of my first love.
      Is love a risk worth taking? Sometimes I know it's a bitter fruit, I know it will have no results,...

      In order to catch up with FILMSPOTTING's AFTER HOUR show, I finally watched this. I really like the narrative, lines, performance, and scene design. From the undercurrent of the first movement to the sad parting of the slow movement to the reunion of the last movement, it was reunited by later generations. It's amazing to see Noel Coward's name on the title and at the end of the credit with the rotten pull-two...

      Although it is far from being as good as imagined, the two push shots at the end and the use of Dutch-style shots are a plus. Especially, after the whole process of bystanders, he was brought into the heroine's character at the end and entered the story. , I feel sorry for her, and also a little sigh, this feeling is really...

A few days later, she met the doctor again in the dining room. As there were not enough...
