This is one of the most classic love textbooks in the world. After centuries of trials and hardships, every shot, every look, every smile can be deeply engraved in the hearts of those who glanced at it - and this is the highest standard for me to judge whether a film is truly "classic" or not. ..


There are fiery and rapidly burning emotions in it that can spread very naturally into the hearts of the audience offstage.
There are also the purest eyes, the most moving smile, the most melancholy happy face...
Every time the hero and heroine meet, they are faced with the shadow of parting or even farewell, which makes people feel anxious for them forever.


Most importantly, this film tortures the audience's heart and vision as much as they can, making the audience have to change their expressions and moods as they arrange them. The most touching tragedy is the most successful destruction of the most beautiful things for people to see! ——First of all, both visually and psychologically, first generously satisfy people's perfect ideal about love, give it (love) the most suitable soil and temperature to breed, develop, and reach the peak, and then naturally make all this the most beautiful The thing is quietly strangled, frozen, frozen, giving it no chance of lingering. That's all, there is another bizarre coincidence that makes all withered trees spring, creating an illusion that everything is still beautiful! Let the raging fire of hope rekindle in the hearts of people who no longer dare to hold naive fantasies... Then, once again calmly and calmly extinguish the good wishes and blessings of the kind audience... God, it's like this again and again, again and again It aggressively invades the senses and hearts of the audience, and we are still willing to continue to engage in it with great interest!

The most sincere and lasting love is ultimately vulnerable in the face of cruel reality. Love, which is always the most expensive and fragile artwork in the world, needs the most meticulous care and the most lasting nourishment. Otherwise, its too beautiful, charming and too fragile nature is doomed to wither and wither.



It is said that the film's subtlety and beauty are not particularly sought after in the West, but it is very suitable for the Oriental view of love and life. I like this movie so much.

Fei Wenli's stunning beauty, her innocent and lovely smile that turns all beings upside down, and her melancholy and blurred eyes are truly unforgettable. Whether it's her beauty, innocence, cuteness or her acting skills, she has reached the pinnacle of performance in this film - it is said that this is also her own favorite film.

Rob Taylor (thank god I finally remembered his name) plays Captain Roy, the most charming and lovable lover of any love movie I've ever seen! Every time I laugh, I am happy and cheerful from my heart: "Ha~haha!" Or "Haha~ha!" "Hahaha!" And every time I can successfully convey happiness and joy to those who hear it~ ~ The captain he plays is by far my favorite character of a lover: dynamic, determined, brave, decisive, affectionate, stable, and mature enough to take a lifetime of responsibility for every one of his seemingly impulsive decisions. The moustache is also quite charming and has become one of the classic images in Hollywood film history.


You see how cute he was as a kid -
"As a kid I stood on top of a big tree at home and shouted 'I'm going to embrace the future!' and jumped out - I ended up in the hospital for two months... …",Ha ha.

He and she met for the first time on Waterloo Bridge amid the sound of air raid sirens because of her lucky charm and began a beautiful romance.
Look at the marriage proposal he made the day after he met Mara - he was wandering aimlessly and alone in the rain outside her window, waiting... She suddenly found him through the window, hurriedly dressed Running down to meet him- (this exact same scene has been in my story, and I can even feel the 'sweet' happy smile on my face when I see it)
Oh, Marla , I can't sleep all night: thinking about you all the time.
Did you finally learn to remember me? (Are all lovers feeling confused when they first meet and often can't remember what their lover looks like?)
Yes, just learned. - What shall we do together today?
Hmm...
I can't help you to do this, to hesitate like this, you can't hesitate any more!
can not?
can not.
So what should I do?
Go and marry me!
Oh Roy, are you crazy?
Crazy is a good feeling.
No, Roy, be sensible!
I don't!
But you don't know me yet.
I will understand, I will spend my whole life to understand.
Oh Roy, it's a war now because you're leaving and you feel like you have to spend your whole life in two days.
Let's go get married! I don't want anyone but you!
How are you so sure?
Honey, don't hesitate, don't ask, don't hesitate! That's it, you know? That's for sure, you know? ! That's how it was decided, you know? ! ! Shall we go get married? ! ! ! do you know? ! ! ! ! (The tenderness and enthusiasm in his eyes at the moment, and the smile on his lips is so contagious! I love this line so much!! With each of his "you know", the girl's eyes are getting brighter and brighter , smile is getting happier... This is one of the cutest and most moving ways to propose! So firm, so sure, just like when my husband saw me for the second time after "hardships
" …I know. (Apart from this, is there any other reaction the girl might have? Hehe)

So they got in the carriage and got married! After getting on the carriage, he began to explain to her:
Now I want to tell you some of my situation and what we are going to face... First of all, I am the captain of the ** Infantry Regiment, is it bluffing? !
Pretty intimidating. (The girl's beautiful eyes twinkle innocently, and it is touching.)
A captain of an infantry regiment cannot marry hastily. . .
Oh, I don't see it that easy. (a little deflated)

How's his charm? of course! His eagerness, enthusiasm, loveliness, politeness and ease... enabled him to get the immediate boss who broke the appointment last night for the beauty in ten minutes, and persuaded his top leader, also his own uncle, to accept him. Impulsive decision. ——Dear officers, don’t think this is easy, I believe that his performance and reputation from childhood to adulthood have laid a good foundation of credibility and trust for him, and it is possible to do such a tricky and time-limited thing to go all the way. Passage. right? Character determines destiny!


Mara saw the list in the newspaper and thought he was dead. Survived in the most unavoidable way in the war-torn era, but unexpectedly reunited with Roy, who was alive and kicking at the train station!
"You think I'm dead? Oh, you know, I'm indestructible! I was wounded, taken prisoner, spent half a year in the enemy camp, got a head injury and nearly died. But I I'm engaged to you, how could I miss an appointment?! Oh, I'm not that kind of person!"


Look at his performance after their reunion, and as soon as he sits down after the surprise, he can immediately be the most efficient, efficient and sincere Action -
"I have a vision, I'm a person who has a vision and an action. I'm going to call my mother right away, tell her that I'm back, I've found you, and we're going home together!" Then immediately stand up and fight Phone...
he's always so optimistic, cheerful, confident, full of energy, and so annoying. How fortunate and blessed is Mara to have met such a loving man. But what a misfortune, what a blessing, that it is impossible to endure it! Good fortune makes people choked and speechless... alas.


The two got into the carriage and returned to his Scottish hometown in a fairytale-like scene. They were greeted by a sincere welcome and warm hug from their mother. In the evening, the neighbors came to watch the beautiful and happy couple. Mara's performance won unanimous recognition and appreciation. They danced to a secluded garden for a rest, and he asked her -

happy?
Yes.
Very happy?
Yes.
Intoxicated?
Yes.
Do not doubt it?
Do not.
Do not hesitate?
Do not.
Not discouraged?
Do not.
Darling, then why do you have fear in your eyes? Why? Oh, you had a hard time, I know it, you had to struggle, it's all over, you're safe, don't be afraid, don't be afraid anymore! I love you!
Roy, you're so nice, you're so...
darling, is this true? Will you wake up suddenly, it turned out to be a dream?
Roy, don't be discouraged!


Although everything went well and it didn't seem to be true, the fear in her heart was confirmed again and again... After confessing the truth to Roy's mother, she decided to leave... It seems that there is no longer any reason to stay. At the head of the stairs, I met a dear man who was too happy to sleep to talk to Xingxing about his "good luck". She was about to dodge, but was still stopped by his quick-witted voice:

...
Good night, dear.
Goodbye, dear.
Hey, why do we meet again, see you in a while.
...Yes, but every time I break up with you, it seems like a small goodbye.
…I feel the same way.
Goodbye, dear.
Goodbye, sentimental (holds her in her arms, whispers in her ear) - tomorrow, all day is ours.
Yes Dear. (Lying on his shoulders, holding back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes)

A ​​note, she quietly left in the dawn of Wei Xi. All the good, all the luck, after all, it is not something she can endure as a poor person.

Yes, he was still madly in love with her, and so was she. He was still young, handsome, cheerful, sunny, confident, full of enthusiasm and the power of love. She is still beautiful, pure, lovely, loyal, kind... There is no third party, no opponent, all people like her, recognize their love, and approve of their marriage.
However, they really can't be together anymore! Really can't.
The melancholy in her eyes could not be eliminated by eternity, no matter whether it was his beloved, or the kindness and generosity of his mother or the old colonel, no one could save it—what a cruel reality.

She has also tried to put her conscience and honesty in her pocket to embrace the beauty and happiness that belonged to her. However, she could not deceive herself after all.
What's even more terrifying is that she finally gave up everything and even lost her life, which turned out to be completely correct! —Poor Mara.
She gave up her life and gave up the opportunity to enjoy the happiness of life to the fullest, but she was able to live more eternally and beautifully in the hearts of those who love her - so, she is smart again, and her giving up is worth it!


He desperately went to find her. Found her best friend Katie. In the process of her taking him to find it, he has understood everything... He said to Katie:

Don't say more, I understand.
Ah? So where is she?
She's gone, she's hiding from me, I'll look for her forever, but I can't find her.

Yes, he could never find her again. She once said that his reappearance was her chance to live... But her only chance to survive was not to live by his side, but to live forever in the safest and cleanest corner of his heart after death.

That lucky charm is an important prop. They met because of it. When they first met, she generously gave him the precious it, and finally he solemnly handed it back to her for "custody"-because he thought that the two of them had become one person and would never be separated again. ——And in the end, it was still held in the palm of his hand by the white-haired and frosty man, standing with him on the waterloo bridge full of desolation and cherishing the memory of the beautiful and pure flower who was forever beautiful and pure because of his premature disappearance.
The luck brought by the lucky charm is like a flash in the pan, but it is beautiful and stunning enough to make the eyes of those who have seen it blinded and invisible for a lifetime.
Only Waterloo Bridge stayed silent for a long time to accompany him to sigh and recall.

When I saw him in the last shot and he was so sad, I wanted to go up to him and ask him, "What would you do if she didn't choose to leave silently, but confessed everything to you?"
He might answer: "I don't mind. , I can really not care about her past, as long as the present and the future..."
"Is it true?"
(I think he must have a brief silence here.)
"Oh, sir, thank you, no need to answer. "

Poor Marla, I think she's right.



PS: The deep friendship of Mara's best friend Katie to her is really touching. The actor is also very beautiful and charming, making people very envious of Mara. She has such a beautiful love, such a deep and sincere friendship, even if her life is short like fireworks, it is enough to comfort her life.

Two other characters, Roy's mother and the old colonel, are also much loved and respected. They all have noble hearts, benevolent understandings, healthy bodies and minds, vivid vigor and kind feelings. Mara's departure does have a direct connection to them, however, there's really nothing wrong with them. No one is wrong, only surly fate.

    7.5 When I was a freshman in high school, I hesitated between this film and Moulin Rouge for a long time and then chose to watch the latter. If I had chosen to watch this film at that time, then Vivien Leigh might have replaced Nicole Kidman's position in my heart today. The love story of the squire and the commoner, the La Traviata in the 20th century, is always irresistible to this tragic love story. Although the second female is only a supporting role, her limelight sometimes even overshadows Vivien Leigh. The British Army officer is really leisurely, and he did not forget to flirt with the girl before going to the battlefield. No wonder he was hanged by the German Army. The most ironic thing is that the film was released in mid-May 1940, and the German Army swept Western Europe in the next half month. . Perhaps it is precisely because of the cruelty of the war that the preciousness of love in the very age is highlighted. It must be known that when I was still a second-year middle schooler, I had no idea how many times I had left the train station.

    What is the motivation for a person to live? Obviously not someone else. Character determines fate, and Mara's impulses kick off the tragedy. To say that everything is in the name of love, this kind of love is too shallow. Not brave enough to face life, not honest enough to face the past, not enough to face reality calmly, weak and irresponsible. Such weak people will always attract the protection of the strong, and there will always be applause from those who resonate. I don't deny Vivien Leigh's exquisite hard photos, but I really hate her
