"The Bridge's Lost Dream"

Written in front: As the "International Working Women's Day" approaches, it is an international holiday, that is, a holiday for women all over the world. In China, it is also called "International Women's Day", "March 8th Day", and "March 8th Women's Day". Because "March 8th" is really indecent, in addition, "Women's Day" is not limited to the role of women, but includes all women. . So smart people have redefined things like "Girls' Day", "Girls' Day", "Peach Blossom Festival", "Goddess' Day"... On this special day, in our festival, the author revisits the classic "Gallery" "Bridge's Lost Dream", share your thoughts with everyone.

By chance, I revisited the movie "The Bridge of Lost Dreams", which once again refreshed my evaluation of this classic.

The hero and heroine of the film met and fell in love with each other on a covered bridge called Ross Roman. In only four days, the love and sex that took place between Francesca and Robert spanned centuries. , carrying a lifetime of thoughts. I don’t know how to evaluate this ending. It seems tragic, but it is the best ending.

At the beginning of the film, there are vast, endless grasslands and slightly curved roads. There are few people and cars passing by. It is so quiet that it is as if the wind is blowing, causing a layer of turbulent ripples. A small white building stood in this silence. It was so quiet that only the crops were twisting wantonly in the wind. It was so quiet that there was no sign of life for miles around. It was so quiet that there was an inexplicable depression. It was in such a quiet place that our hostess Francesca appeared, barefoot, casually wearing a plain dress, with slightly curly long hair, and the fine hair was playfully loose, revealing Lazy and cozy.

When the movie camera panned over the bare feet and the strong calf above, I don’t know why, but a primitive sense of beauty emerged.

The heroine likes to read books and poems, especially Yeats’s poem, “I went to the hazel woods because there was a fire in my head.” But he suffers from the fact that no one can understand him in this lonely environment. It wasn't until she met the photographer Robert, who had "such a sure love, only once in a lifetime" in her life, that she reactivated the self and original, purest sex and love hidden in her body.

During those four days, the relationship between the two of them competed against each other, burning like dry firewood. From the beginning, Francesca got into Robert's car and led him the way. When Robert's hand holding the cigarette touched her thigh, things began to develop on the track he expected. When I saw this place many years ago, I had the idea that Francesca was so lonely that she had wild thoughts and even a sense of lust. But I don't think so now. I don't know if it's the accumulation of time, the deepening of experience, or some kind of desire hidden deep in a woman's heart, but I feel inexplicably moved by this scene. She went from being unsure whether it was love to being certain to being firmly convinced. Taking Yeats's poem as her sustenance, she bravely extended an invitation: "If you want dinner while the white moth is dancing its wings, you can do it anytime after work tonight." In anticipation, she received two phone calls from Robert, one telling her that the end of work would be delayed, and the other telling her that such an appointment might cause her trouble. It can be seen that Robert is rational and considerate, and has not been dazzled by love. And Francesca bravely went to the appointment, which showed that she and he were in sync. In order to meet him, she prepared carefully and drove to Mainland to buy candles, wine, skirts, shoes...a pink dress with a low collar and an open back. A pair of white flat sandals. As a woman, you always want to look your best in front of the people you care about. Francesca looked in the mirror and caressed her still plump and round breasts, her slightly enlarged crotch, and her slightly protruding belly. Every inch of her skin had its own luster. , she smiled, obviously quite confident in her body.

? Brandy, coffee, candlelight, music "Autumn Leaves", simple salad, the food at this moment is eclipsed in the eyes of both of them. The hearts of the two strangers got closer and closer, until Francesca appeared in a pink dress during the music, Robert was completely fascinated and intoxicated. The two danced in each other's arms, looking at each other affectionately. Their love made them embrace each other tighter and tighter until they merged into each other. During sex, they reached a high degree of impeccable agreement. In Robert's words, they became "we". There is me, there is you in me, the individual no longer exists. After rubbing love into each other, a homogeneous body called "we" was born. "Such a sure love only comes once in a lifetime." Robert confessed to Francesca affectionately and romantically: "I can only say this once in my life. I have never said it before, and I will never say it again." Seeing this, as a woman, I am very happy for the heroine. I am convinced that it is such a luxury to have such a kind of love that is integrated into the bone marrow in my limited life. Many women may not encounter it in their lifetime.

? The two most touching scenes are the conversation before the hero leaves, and the final invitation sent by the hero a few days later and bid farewell to her.

? The night before departure, that is, the fourth day. Robert is convinced that such love can only happen once and wants to take Francesca away. Francesca cried: When a woman gets married and has her own children, it means the beginning of one aspect of life and the end of another aspect. For the sake of this family, the woman must put aside her personal needs, which she calls her teenage dreams.

? Between love and responsibility, she longed to choose love, but she couldn't make a choice. She asked him to help decide. Years of farmer life, family, children and such a sure once-in-a-lifetime love in front of her made her extremely painful. If I as an audience were to help her choose, I would also be extremely painful, but no matter which choice she made, I would support her. . When she told him, "You have to know, this family will completely change after I leave." He knew that she wanted to leave with him, but she couldn't let go of this family. He respects him by saying "I don't want to need you. Why? Because I can't have you." What a tragic love. Towards the end of the film, in the heavy rain, Robert made a final invitation to Francesca, and he still wanted to take her away. She saw it, her inner thoughts were turbulent, and she was making a difficult choice between love and responsibility. Her hand holding the car door handle tried to open it hard again and again, and rushed out, calling "Take me away" thousands of times in her heart... When he The car turned into a fork in the road, drove westward, and disappeared from her sight. Her hand completely let go, and she cried uncontrollably. She knew that this was her final farewell. Seeing this, I burst into tears.

In the next twenty years, he had no contact with her. He did not look for her because he did not want to cause her trouble, but this did not mean that his love diminished, but his love became stronger.

After Robert died, he sent his important things to Francesca through his lawyer, and scattered his ashes on Rossman Bridge. The same Francesca also asked her children to scatter her ashes on Rossman Bridge in her last words before her death. She wrote in the letter: When I am alive, I belong to this family, and I hope that after I die, I will belong to him.

A bridge, a lifetime of love. Two people who loved each other until the end of their lives scattered their ashes on the covered bridge to make their love last forever. Just like Francesca said, after death, it belongs to him.
