Under the Tuscan Sun

——"Everyone walks at a crossroad for a period of time", but you have to believe that "one day, you will be happy again".

Yesterday, she was a successful and well-known female writer. At the new book launch, she was holding champagne, eating homemade chocolate, and being intellectually beautiful. She is the envied woman in people's eyes, with love in the left hand, friendship in the right hand, and a perfect life. Unfortunately, it was yesterday.

Today, she is sitting in the lawyer's office with tears on her face, hurt in her heart, and red, swollen and painful eyes. Lack of creative inspiration, life lost its source, her husband filed for divorce. And his new love fell in love with the only valuable house in her hands, and forced her to compromise through a lawyer. She said, "Divorce doesn't kill people, but when someone who's shown you love to the death and suddenly says, 'I never loved you,' it can kill people." She took the only A few books, left alone. This year, she is 35 years old.

Toscani was a chance encounter in her life, like a surprise when she looked back.

Beautiful Italy, beautiful Mediterranean city - Tuscany. The blue sea, the slightly salty wind, and the white roofs are connected one by one. The market was crowded and noisy, with mortal warmth, the melodious bells rang out from the ancient spires, and the missionaries in black robes stopped, closed their eyes and drew a cross. Children chasing each other flash past you, and a charming and enchanting woman holds a bird and feels its feathers with the skin on her face. The brown stone road winds in the city, with bright shop windows and a quiet smile. Diane Lane's Frances said, here, I smell purple.

This is a story of pursuit and arrival, a story of a helpless and hopeless woman reborn, a heartwarming story.

"Between Italy and Austria, there is a part of the Alps called the Simerin, which is unimaginably steep and a very high part of this mountain, and a railway was built across the Alps to connect Vienna and Venice , build these tracks before there are trains, because they know that there will be trains one day."

Frances's dull clothes, the shocking wrinkles on her face, everything is slowly disappearing, but even if it is not so, she can't tolerate it. The neglected beauty glows dimly.

One man after another came and went by her side, and some even touched the flames. However, none of them were the real protagonists. This was Frances's story, and the process of her own transformation. She said, I haven't met true love yet, but I believe there is, so I'm still searching and waiting, please believe it.

Older houses always have quirks, like rusted faucets that don't work. So do we, with traces of past lives, but not forever. Rusty and dry faucets will gurgling water again, and we will change, too, with time.

    Under the Tuscan sun, you find life and love again. Sunflowers bloom like smiling faces.

    It's beautiful, like unexpected happiness. Never lose your childish enthusiasm, and things will come your way. They built it because they knew someday the train would come.

Under the Tuscan Sun quotes

  • Frances: [in voiceover] Every day I watch for the old man with the flowers, and I wonder, was he born here? Did he love someone here? Did he lose someone here? He doesn't seem as curious about me, but that's all right. These days I'm something of a loner myself.

  • Frances: Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you. Like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly. You shouldn't have to wake up day after day after that, trying to understand how in the world you didn't know. The light just never went on, you know. I must have known, of course, but I was too scared to see the truth. Then fear just makes you so stupid.

    Martini: No, it's not stupid, Signora Mayes. L'amore e cieco.

    Frances: Oh, love is blind. Yeah, we have that saying too.

    Martini: Everybody has that saying because it's true everywhere.
