reveal the mask

After watching the film, there are tidbits attached to the disc, which are very nice

. The actor said: This story resonates because it is about forgiveness and two people gradually getting to know each other. Politically speaking, because it's about cultural confrontation. Interesting things happen when one culture reshapes itself into another culture. The story progresses layer by layer and continues to deepen.

The actress who played the heroine said: Her life has changed dramatically, and she has been washed away in a profound introspective way. She almost collapsed because someone kept punishing her. . . . In a shocking and touching way, she straightened her back and became a new person. She found herself, not that she had completely become another person, but that she had never touched the other side of herself. In the past, she was a little bit drifting with the flow, just going with the situation. She didn't make any choices at all. She did what was simple. After the crisis came, she began to realize that there was something more meaningful in her life than the life she had chosen before.

Director's speech: This is not a straightforward love story or an adventure story, both elements are included, it is a classical drama about forgiveness and redemption.

About the name, from Shelley's poetry, I think a lot of people look at life through a veil of beauty, that's how people seek knowledge, seek truth, or at least fight fear by lifting the veil above, I Thinking also frees up a lot of the pain in life, but this is your life.
Kitty and Walter both took on the problems they encountered in a self-centered way in the foreign country, and they didn't become until they somehow transcended themselves and came into contact with different environments and different people around them. More mature, but also save yourself. At this time, when they looked back, they suddenly realized that they had never really understood each other.


A film review I saw said that the last paragraph of the film was superfluous, and I disagreed.
People can not escape from doing wrong? However, facing and accepting the consequences of mistakes, and turning back from them, sometimes requires more courage than death.

The choice of life and death is always in one thought.
Choose life, choose to turn around, worthy of admiration.
Even if people don't accept it, the rebuilt heart will be strong. The scriptures say that such people are accepted by God.

I think this is also the reason why this novel stands out from the numerous and mournful derailment-themed works today.

As for me, I really like the scenery inside, and I look forward to having the opportunity to visit the quaint villages and the source of the Xiangjiang River on the Li River, while listening to this song sung by the children:

"I walk by the clear spring water, the
spring water is so beautiful, I am by the water. While bathing,
lying under the oak leaves, drying on the
tall branches of the body, the yellow warbler is singing
I hope that rose, still open~~” I

feel that the French version of the film episode’s lyrics and childish dialogue are more processed. Appropriate and beautiful.

The Painted Veil quotes

  • Walter Fane: I'd like to press on, if you don't mind.

    Kitty Fane: Surely my comforts are no concern to you.

  • Walter Fane: Do you like flowers?

    Kitty Fane: Not particularly, no. Well, I mean yes, but we don't really have them around the house. Mother says, "Why purchase something you can grow for free?" Then, we don't really grow them either. It does silly really. To put all that effort into something that's just going to die.
