Comments:

The Bridges of Madison County is an extraordinary film from 65438 to 0995. Because of its discussion of extramarital affairs and the embodiment of middle-aged people's psychological feelings, the film has attracted wide attention from audiences and critics. The plot of the film is very simple, but the emotional expression is very delicate, which reflects the director's excellent control ability and the actor's profound foundation. Movies are not only the expression of extramarital affairs, but also reveal the ethical values and emotional balance of middle-aged people through them. The reason why the heroine has feelings for the hero is that she was forced to give up her original life ideal and bury herself in trivial housework during her long-term dull marriage life. So when the hero full of freedom appears, she can't help being attracted to him. However, despite the subtle embodiment of extramarital love, the film is still a more orthodox theme of maintaining the family. Therefore, the audience can deeply feel the potential pressure of the surrounding environment on the hero and heroine, and the ambivalence of the hero in the film. The heroine in the film chose the family after repeated choices, and her sense of responsibility for the family prevailed. At the end of the film, the heroine's two children are moved to attach importance to the family, which is the embodiment of orthodox morality.

The Bridges of Madison County has won the recognition of many audiences for its delicate depiction of the family and emotional problems of middle-aged people, and its traditional moral concept also makes it easy to be accepted by people. This film resonated with many middle-aged audiences with its excellent artistic performance, and also urged them to take their feelings seriously. Therefore, The Bridges of Madison County was rated as one of the ten most influential films in 1995. Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep, two senior actors, also performed very well in the film. Their grasp of emotion is very in place and their emotional expression is extremely delicate, which adds infinite charm to the film.

I don't know how many people were touched by the story of Bridges of Madison County, including the audience in China. Before it was made into a movie, the pamphlet of the novel was widely circulated in China, and there was a "covered bridge fever", which laid the groundwork for the hot sale of movies in the future.

When the film was released in China, there was a moderate debate, that is, whether the expression of "extramarital love" in the story attacked or supported traditional morality. This is really a difficult problem to analyze. Even if it is made into a movie and shown in China, it cannot be said that the story of middle-aged people is necessarily correct. Francesca's experience has also become a suspense that many people can't let go after middle age.

When the hero and heroine we met in such a short time will be separated forever, we are as moved as recalling the breakup with our first lover. We don't have time to think about whether it is fair to Francesca's husband. Many people who have read this story even think that Francesca should fly away with Robert. In that case, the story won't touch us as it does now. Therefore, like all love agreements, "separation" is still the moving part of the whole story. In the end, the story returned to orthodox morality responsibly, and at this time, we found ourselves feeling "wronged". What happened? In this story, the author's superb design gave many of us, including those who have been married for many years, the opportunity to fall in love again.

If we only start with the touching part of the film, the delicate emotional description in the story is an important factor for the success of the film. This passage in the novel has wonderful handwriting, and the film basically shows this essence by combining pictures, music and performances. The leading actor in the film is played by Clint Eastwood, a veteran Hollywood movie star, who is also the director of the film. Clint Eastwood is the most popular tough guy star, director and producer in American film industry. 1986 was elected mayor of Carmel, becoming another politician who was born as a movie star after Reagan. The Bridges of Madison County is Clint's 16th film, and his career reached its peak on 1995. That year, he won the best film award and the best director award at the 65th Oscar for "Never Forget".

The heroine of this film is played by Meryl Streep, the heroine of the American Academy of Performing Arts. Interestingly, Meryl Streep said in an interview before the film started that she hated Francesca in the film, but the performance belongs to the performance. Her acting skills are really admirable, and her emotional and psychological activities are extremely delicate. After the film started, people naturally accepted her role. The images of Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep are very consistent with people's imagination after reading novels. Coupled with the first-class performance, it can be said that the success of this film was framed by them.

The Bridges of Madison County was written by robert james waller. This book has been a popular best seller in the world for several years, and its circulation is also very considerable. Coupled with the successful interpretation of Hollywood famous movie stars Meryl Streep and Eastwood, it has become the darling of the cultural market. Its Chinese version is also very popular in the book market in China, and it also won the National Foreign Literature Book Award.

In The Bridges of Madison County, the author shows readers the whole process of Robert Kincaid and Francesca from meeting, falling in love and parting. This is an extramarital affair, a romantic extramarital affair story packaged by the screenwriter with "authenticity", "tragedy" and "death". Extramarital love is restricted by law and condemned by moral public opinion in almost all countries, and is regarded as an emotional forbidden zone. Extramarital love has always been a very sensitive and attractive topic, which is rarely seen in literary works. Waller takes extramarital affairs as the entrance to show the depth and femininity of people's emotional life, which is really bold and unique.

Waller's success lies in that he didn't let the love between Robert Kincaid and Francesca go against the reader's moral judgment. The author asked Francesca to choose between love and responsibility, and chose the latter-responsibility. And very attentively, "give love satisfaction, give love longing, give orgasm desire, give poetry climax, give melancholy farewell, give husband warmth, give children motherly love, give sincere mourning to death, give grand memories to the past, and give heartfelt understanding to the love of ancestors", everything is arranged so well. The author cleverly only gave them four days to fall in love. Its romance is elegant, warm and free and easy, and its short and long love affair is very suitable for modern people's appreciation taste, which also coincides with the secret psychological pursuit of those who are dissatisfied with boring marriage. At the same time, because of its conservative, sad and tragic ending, people with traditional ideas will agree. In a word, robert james waller carefully opened the secret emotional world of extramarital affairs, and let people see the loyal, eternal, rational and emotional side from the love that can cause deviant and shameful accusations.

The Bridges of Madison County is not only a love novel, but its value lies in pointing out a life choice and ideal for us. It is like a mirror, reflecting the life feelings of modern urbanites. For people living in modern cities, being far away from nature, life is confined in a narrow space, and people's lives are more stylized. Where is man's true self? What do we really need in the information age? Robert Kincaid made his choice. He chose to go to nature. He claims to be the "last cowboy", a man as agile, natural, natural and powerful as a leopard, which is why he moved the heroine Francesca and us. The way he chose is also what we busy and helpless modern people yearn for.

The Bridges of Madison County is really an exciting and thought-provoking novel, which contains some serious meanings. From this novel, we can extend our thinking to the marital status of the whole human race, and consider whether the actual extramarital affair is an inevitable product of an imperfect marital status despite the condemnation of public opinion and morality.

The novel The Bridges of Madison County arranges a very clear logic: the last cowboy who claims to see the world likes to browse the shop window with his hand in his trouser pocket, and the wife of a farmer who has been forgotten for a long time, spent four days in an accidental meeting, which made love burn brightly. This is a typical extramarital affair. Morality always says "no" to extramarital affairs, but the author doesn't have to use reason to confront morality in people's hearts, but uses emotional charm to disarm morality. He first described this affair as intoxicating as wine and holy as an angel. Then a clever ending is designed: in order not to hurt her husband and children, the heroine would rather lose love forever and stay alone in a life without any passion; The hero could have let his sweetheart accompany him to the ends of the earth, but he thought that "love is respect", so he drifted alone and ended his life with depression. In this way, when the author deifies the hero's moral sacrifice, he skillfully liberates the hero from the moral shackles. ..... Extramarital affairs have become a beautiful and safe attempt here.

Zhang Fuhai

The Bridges of Madison County describes a classic love Paula schema to us, reproduces a sincere emotional entanglement, and is a masterpiece with strong socialization and localization thinking.

The reason why The Bridges of Madison County is shocking is probably because it raises an essential question of love-people's attitude towards sex. In the film, impulsive romantic sex has a fierce impact on traditional concepts. However, the heroine finally gave up this love and was willing to recall this love through aftertaste in the future dull life. All this seems to be telling the true meaning of a person's life: love is responsible and obligated anyway, and everyone can't be selfish only for themselves in love; Life is ordinary, and all the bright colors and highlights are just embellishments, which are beyond our power.

Excerpts from the novel The Bridges of Madison County

"(Francesca) My feelings for you are too deep to resist. Although I have said so much, I can't deprive you of the freedom to take the road as your home, but I will still go with you, just for my selfish needs. I want you.

"But, please don't let me do this, don't let me give up my responsibility. I can't. I can't be bothered by this all my life. If I do this now, this mental burden will make me a different person, no longer the woman you love. "

Robert Kincaid was silent. He knows what she means by the road, which will change her responsibility and guilt. He knew that she was right. He looked out of the window and struggled fiercely, trying to understand her feelings. He cried.

Then the two embraced for a long time. He said in her ear? "I only have one thing to say, just this one thing, I will never say to anyone, I want you to remember? In a universe full of chaos, such a clear thing can only appear once, no matter how many lifetimes you live, it will never appear in the future. "

That night-Thursday night-they had sex again, lying together, touching each other and whispering until sunrise. Then Francesca slept for a while, and when she woke up, it was sunny and hot. She heard Harry's door creak and stood up in her clothes.

The cowboy is dressed up and ready to mount. "I should go."

She nodded and began to cry. She saw the tears in his eyes, but he kept his unique smile.
