room with a view

I watched an old movie, to be precise, an old love movie, or an old pure and beautiful literary film. During a piano lesson a few weeks ago, I had a chat with my teacher about the guitar performance that my husband took on a business trip to Florence in the square, and he immediately talked about the movie "Window with a View" with a heart-warming name

. It is a room that likes to see the scenery, and for men, the scenery is in the heart. The blue sky, the singing of the birds, all this is in the heart.” George’s father Emerson Sr. Duan lines, very interesting definition!

Why do women like rooms with a view? The so-called "landscape" just refers to the pure beauty of love in a woman's heart. The so-called "room" may be the person who can make you experience this taste. In my opinion, the scenery may really only be in our hearts, but if someone can let you see the scenery farther, thank him!

This film is adapted from the novel "Window with a View" by Emma Foster. The English noble Miss Ruth goes to Florence on vacation. She is like those ladies in the Middle Ages, and she is only the best after playing music. Know what you want. She hopes to open the window of the room and see the Arno River. The innkeeper failed to arrange her room, and young Mr. George gave Ruth his room with a view. Later, in the square, George helped Lucy who suddenly fainted because of the violent scene. The two stood side by side facing the calm lake, holding the railings and the scene and dialogue were very gentle and quiet!

George climbed to a small tree in the suburbs and shouted to the sky in the distance: "Beautiful, so beautiful! Freedom! Truth! Life! Beauty, beauty! Love..." George himself was left. As Pastor Bee asked Sr. Emerson: "It's your son? Will he do the same to George, the taciturn?" George's father replied, "It's his belief." "He's proclaiming the eternal answer."

The next scene where George kisses Lucy is also a bit beautiful and touching, but it seems that Miss Lavish's original words in the novel can better express the beauty of the scene in the eyes of people: "Away from the towers of Florence, she is in a dream. There were some red poppies adorned with a large swath of golden wheat that swept the wind, and he came quietly. There was no language that a formal lover often used, no rhetoric, and he didn't regret it, he went straight. The locals hold her in their powerful arms..." In the picturesque rural scenery outside Florence, the aria "Dretta's Dream" rang out in his ears, and the picture and music were very poetically and beautifully combined.



After Lucy returned to England, she got engaged to Cecil, who was her equivalent. Cecil's gentleman style was very vivid. The most impressive and funny thing was that this gentleman was actually mortified because his glasses caught his nose. Lucy was not kissed.

"Do you really want to marry him? If he was different, I wouldn't ask. But he's a person who doesn't know how to get along well with people, he doesn't know women at all, he just wants to possess you, possess a painting , or an ivory box, show it off to others. He doesn't want you to be a real person, thoughtful, love life, he doesn't love you. But I love you, and I want you to have your own thoughts and feelings. A How lucky people are to find what they need. You know how lucky it is!" This is a monologue of George after meeting Lucy at Cecil's house, and it is also a monologue that many people have experienced quite a lot. .

I have thought that if each person can freely develop their own personality and characteristics in love, and at the same time allow the other party to develop freely, such love is free and happy love!

When George appeared again, he couldn't help kissing Lucy again, and told her directly that Cecil didn't love her, but he loved her; when Lucy heard: "Then be his wife. He has become It's a part of you. Even if you fly to Greece and never see him again, or even forget his name, he lives on in your mind until you die. Love is cut and cut. You Would like to cut it off. You can change it, ignore it, mess it up, but you can never dig it out of your heart. Experience tells me that the poets are right: love is eternal ." She finally broke up with Cecil on her own initiative: "I thought I loved you, sorry! You don't really love me. What you love is Da Vinci's paintings, I want my true colors... "You don't love me, it's obvious that you wrap yourself in books and music, and you want to wrap me too..."

It's sometimes difficult to have the courage to admit your feelings, be honest It is even more difficult to face our own hearts. If we do not have the courage to see our hearts clearly, it is impossible for us to face our feelings honestly. Therefore, the perfect ending like a movie exists in real life, but there are not many!

In real life, when we encounter choices, do we follow the body or the soul? Even after nearly a century, this is still a question that reaches people's hearts and humanity. In the movie, the wise old Emerson said: "Although life is very beautiful, it is hard." It should be the pain of this choice. 


Falling in love at first sight is easy. But it is difficult to respect each other. You and I are both the center. When we are together, who is the center? Is it me lying down and turning around you, or you?

I have always respected the spirit but also respected the material. The so-called "spirit" may not be missing under the clothes? Huayi may be innate, it can precede spirituality, but most of us are always "congenitally deficient". With regard to spirituality, it is far from simple, nor is it necessarily related to happiness.

The old Mr. Emerson's advice in the movie is still in my ears: "The worst thing in the world is a confusion of mind. It is easy to face death, doom, and other things that sound terrible." The greatest manifestation of confusion is that Often we don't know what we want, or we know what we want, but we don't know how to do it. This has something to do with experience, but it is more about our hearts. Our hearts can no longer hear our own voice, and we are more influenced by people, things, and things outside, and we will follow it a long way. For a while, I remembered our original intention, our original thought.

This made me think that if two people love and get along with each other, if they are quite good people, each may have full marks in the other's eyes, but this kind of thinking will not make both parties feel relaxed. You think he is perfect, but you fully understand your own shortcomings, so you, who have always been confident, suddenly start to feel inferior. Talking and doing things for fear that he will not like it, and worry that he is not elegant enough. As everyone knows, the other party is also the same. He loves your 100% sunny breath, but he is nervous about his depression, which will hurt you and have dark dreams every night. This is a humble mentality that cannot be known to outsiders - I love him, he is too perfect, I have low self-esteem in front of him, I can't face it, I want to run away, I want to be the confident me... alone This is not terrible. If both people are like this, they will often drift away.

"Only one view is perfect—the sky above us, and all views on the ground are but shoddy copies." I've been thinking of this quote from old Emerson a lot lately, and when I think about it, I'm Can't help but look up at the sky. In everyone's heart, there is a room with a view. As long as the window of the heart is opened, there will be a blue sky outside the window. The little god of love was flying in the sky and said: listen to the call of the heart!




"Your heart is really hurting, when the tears are about to flow, then look up quickly, this piece of sky that once belonged to us; the day is still so vast, the clouds are still so unrestrained, then you shouldn't cry, Because I'm gone, I didn't take your world with me."
- "A Room With a View", by E. Moore Foster

    One of the most outstanding literary adaptations. If you have read the original novel, you will find that the movie has no less points than the original! Powerful adaptation!

    Actually the shot was not good. Too much dialogue is a summary of the meaning of the character's behavior that has occurred or will happen in the plot screen. For example, after seeing blood in the square, Lucy said to George by the river, “It’s amazing that Italians are both kind and cute at the same time violent”, nonsense! Didn't we see the bloodshed that just happened? And Judy Dench said to Maggie Smith, "We should be particularly open to physical feelings. An English girl can be transformed by Italy", nonsense! This is what the whole movie wants to say...all these things should be understood by the audience after watching them, and it is not very difficult to understand. No matter how bad, there is another thing called film reviews! As a result, the subject himself has experienced it and then made a comment? Even set up a role of a female writer who is good at this in the plot? Simply unnecessary. In contrast, the riverside nude swimming bridge is more interesting.
