"Il ya longtemps que je t'aime" from France, hired British actress Kristin Scott Thomas to play the heroine Juliette Fontaine, the whole film is mainly in French.

Juliette was waiting for her sister Léa (Elsa Zylberstein) to pick her up at the airport, It turns out that I haven't seen each other for more than ten years. It was my parents who ordered my sister to ignore this sister.

Fifteen years ago, my sister was still young. My sister was actually imprisoned for killing her son. Can you help? Léa's husband is reluctant to accept Juliette, who is released from prison, and is always the mother who kills her children. Léa has two adopted Vietnamese daughters, and she dare not have children because of her sister's sin.

The story is of course not that simple. Movie It mainly describes Juliette's adaptation to reality after being released from prison. Kristin Scott Thomas played it well until she got it, the pale helplessness and fear when she was just released from prison, and the grief left by the loss of her son, all performed very well. In fact, the whole movie She is the only one to carry the banner. BAFTA and Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Actress.

Elsa Zylberstein who plays her sister is very kind. It turned out that she just watched her "Nucingen Haus" in Raoul Ruiz (Nucingen House/Haunted Housekeeper) He also participated in Ingmar Bergman's "Enfances" (Childhoods). Without the support of his sister and the bottom line, the truth may never be known.

As Juliette said, losing a child is like being imprisoned for a lifetime. Kristin Scott Thomas couldn't have played the grief better.

The sisterhood portrayed in the movie is very real. I also like the scene where the two sisters go to the hospital to visit their mother. The mother, who suffers from Alzheimer's, recognizes Juliette as soon as she sees her, even after many years Come on as if she doesn't exist.

    I have loved you for a long time, but not enough.

    "Kristin Scott Thomas" once made me remember this super-temperament woman deeply because of "The English Patient". There seems to be infinite loneliness and sadness in her eyes, and there are so many stories. Her smile seems to be able to accommodate a world, with great infection and lethality. And in this movie, I can't help but sigh, the years have passed, the beauty is old, but her every move is still so attractive to me. When the prosperity comes to an end—how much loneliness do people need to endure before they can walk forward with their heads lowered without squinting? What kind of pain do people need to endure in order to call it heart-wrenching pain?

I've Loved You So Long quotes

  • P'tit Lys: The prince went slowly through the forest. His beautiful horse was silent. The sky was taking on the color of roses. "Will I be in time?" the prince wondered. He remembered what the magician had told him. "Night is your only enemy. Once it has cast its cloak of darkness over the world and you cannot tell the shadow of a dog from that of a wolf, you will know it is too late and that your beautiful lady is lost forever. Hurry if you love her." The prince's heart was pounding.

  • Léa: The novel's narration is impersonal and incomplete, as he refused to give one world view. He knows it's multiple, that intentions are multiple as are truths.
