The film is the representative work of the famous British writer John Fowles in the literary world, and it was adapted and put on the screen. The plot of the film is different from the single clue in the novel. It unfolds in a narrative way that two clues advance together. One is the story in the novel and the other is the story of the film crew. The interpretation of the two corners will make people see the clouds and mountains as a mess. Sometimes in the past, sometimes now, I can only distinguish the two accidents by the different hairstyles of Mei Gu in the two eras. What impressed me most was that the story of the lieutenant's woman was twists and turns, delicate and touching.
Originally, she had a crush on a French lieutenant who was shipwrecked. Later, she found that the lieutenant had a wrong character and had nothing to do with others, so the woman quietly withdrew. Maybe the French lieutenant didn't even know there was such a thing. And women look at the sea from afar, despite people's misunderstandings and criticisms, still waiting for their love by the sea. This kind of deed moved the gentleman. The gentleman, regardless of the approach of the marriage contract, was not afraid of losing his reputation. He resolutely wanted to chase the woman who was criticized, but the woman left without saying goodbye. Three years later, the two finally reunited and swayed a happy boat. In comparison, the affair in the film crew, although it reflects the same love in two eras with different endings, is more like a show, and it does not reach the profound level of the novel at all. Only one of the three most exciting different endings in the original novel is explained.
PS: I have to say, Aunt Mei in her youth was really gorgeous and shocking.
