...Since it is expected, let it happen. She saved enough money and came to her dream place - Venice alone. Katharine Hepburn interprets this conservative American old maid quite sullenly. Under the bright Italian sun, this suffocating energy is particularly turbulent and white, and all kinds of evasion and restraint seem to be just wanting and refusing. Italian men habitually like to stare at women, and their eyesight will naturally increase when they see more. From the very beginning of the film, the hero sees Katherine's heart through her feet in white high-heeled sandals. No matter how high the collar, no matter how tight the buttons, could not prevent the pair of charming ankles from revealing all the secrets in their hearts. Traveling alone often magnifies loneliness. She originally expected that this trip would bring romantic encounters, but in the first few days, she had to face the loneliness that became more and more obvious set off by the pairs of people around her. So when she met a handsome and charming male protagonist, she was already a little bit desperate. The Italian men's enthusiasm and perseverance relatively smoothly resolved Catherine's conservative mentality that she was afraid of losing. The two started a sweet date soon after. But it didn't take long before she learned that he was a married man, and she learned it from his son in person. Catherine was wronged and angry. At this time, the Italian man said something very incisive. My marriage was arranged. I've been looking forward to an American woman like you. You also yearn for a romantic relationship. But what you expect is a handsome, wealthy, unmarried "Prince Charming." You were expecting something, but obviously you were expecting too much. You are "too" hungry. I'm just a small shop owner with a small business and married. So you are disappointed, you are angry. After hearing this, the heroine struggled a bit in her heart (or calculated in her heart, whether it was worthwhile to commit to him or not). Then this "unique, slightly conservative" woman made a choice between her inner values ​​and the reality of her encounter: just let it happen. In the end, lovers can only pass by, and the story ends with a trace of regret. So as long as you want to be moved, you will still be moved.
