You think you can hide yourself, all the landscape is watching your secret. The film describes a complete love, a struggle between lust and civilization. In the end, love breaks class, surpasses morality, religion and ethics, and gains freedom. The movie "A Room with a View" (also translated as "Blue Sky Outside the Window", "Love of Emeralds") was adapted from a novel by British writer EM Foster and was filmed in 1985. The story takes place in the Victorian era. A pair of cousins ​​from London and a strange father and son meet in a hotel in Florence, Italy. They start by exchanging rooms with a view, and the two young people are attracted to each other. After returning to London, after a series of twists and turns, the two finally eloped for love and returned to Florence, where they started.

Today, with all kinds of love stories emerging in an endless stream, love itself has lost its original stability, and it has become more and more dramatic and complicated. Hundreds of turns, unswervingly to death. The story of "Look" is a little old-fashioned. Love is simply and implicitly hidden behind the daily life of the heroine Lucy. When she understands herself step by step, she is approaching love. On the surface, Lucy abides by the red tape of the upper class, but when she plays Beethoven's piano music, she shows unusual passion and vitality. She wants to get close to the young Englishman George, but pretends not to care. The protagonist, George, comes out with a question mark, like a mystery himself, starting to be cast as a somewhat morbid skeptic. He picked cornflowers and hung them by the old woman's bed, ran wild in the storm, swam in the Mystic Lake, kissed Lucy in the wheat field, read Byron's poems, behaved eccentrically, and was out of touch with the world. George pursues eternal affirmation and a very romantic and elegant view of love.

The themes of liberty and humanity are what Classicism is most willing to deal with. Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance. While adding historical and religious content, the film deliberately arranges scenes of local people fighting. History and stereotypes are dead, but the spirit is alive, and people themselves have power. a stark contrast. The soundtrack of the movie is dominated by classical music, with the peace and tranquility of the Gospels. When Lucy and George Wheatfield kissed, the opera was added, and the waves began to rise. It seems that this ancient city has opened up human beings to think about themselves and the need for individual liberation, and now they are waiting for the young people to inject new vitality into themselves.

In the film, "a room with a view" is what Lucy yearns for. The interpretation in the film borrows the words of George's father: women like to enjoy the scenery, men don't care about it, men see the meaning, it is completely the feeling in the heart Is the heart cheerful. The film divides men and women into two groups. The men, including Lucy's younger brother, George, and George's father, are free and open, dare to love and hate; the women of Lucy's family are restrained and polite, and their emotions and anger are invisible. . Women can't get out of the room, expecting to see the scenery outside through the window, while men want to rush out of the room and become part of the scenery themselves. The elopement of Lucy and George is like escaping the room and becoming a landscape in Florence.
