—I think you don’t play the piano
— when you were young
— you don’t play the piano now, right?
——No, my husband doesn’t understand music at all
— that’s good...
——I may have a very professional talent and passion.
——Ah, God, no.
——Why are you so sure?
——You are too sensible and not complicated——
……I think it is a good thing that people are not complicated, but it sounds boring.
——You will never be boring
... ——How
about you?
--What's wrong with me?
——Will you come here every Thursday?
——Yes, I buy things for a week, go to the library to exchange books, have lunch, and then usually go to the movies. It's not too exciting, but it's a change.
——Are you going to the movies this afternoon?
- Yes
- too clever, I was
- I thought you had all day in the hospital.
——Well, don’t tell anyone that two of my patients died this morning. The head nurse was very angry with me, so I dared not go back.
——Why are you so stupid
——Seriously, I did finish my job. It doesn't matter if you are absent from work. Do you mind if I go with you?
——Okay, I...
——I can sit downstairs, you can sit upstairs...
——Upstairs is too expensive...
(The band suddenly stopped and we started laughing again, I have no premonition , Maybe I should have it. Everything looks so natural, so innocent.)

    This film is really good, very literary, and only David Lean can make this taste and has a strong control over the performance.

    David Lean is good at making epic movies, but he didn't expect to be very good at making such love sketches. The audio-visual language is excellent, the use of black and white light and shadow is extremely skilled, and the control of the story of derailment is also very delicate and smooth. Even if the protagonist struggles with a large number of streams of consciousness, it makes people addicted to this story that goes against traditional values. Finally, thank you for coming back to me
