What is love? This question seems to have been questioned by people from ancient times to the present, but they have never received a specific answer. Countless people are verifying its essence, and countless people are expressing to the world what love is with their own personal experience. The film I'm going to talk about today, it's also about love, telling the story of London's most popular costume designer and an ordinary restaurant waiter after the war in 1950.
Every designer has his own muse in his heart, and the muse is the source of inspiration for their creations, the soul in their lives. For the male protagonist of this film, Reynolds, he pursues his inspiration all the time, and he needs someone to present his clothes to everyone in the best condition. Whether this person was a prince or an aristocrat or an ordinary girl, as long as it could satisfy him, it was the muse in his heart. Alma was such a being to him, not so much in love with Alma as in the first sight of her figure, and he wanted to see how the clothes he had designed were put on by her.
The first date between two people is sudden and even the process is very different. Reynolds asks Alma to try on his newly designed clothes, and the moment the girl wears his clothes, it is as if he has found his own muse. The love between the two people happened naturally, but it was destined to be Alma who invested more in this relationship.
Reynolds was not only critical of his artwork, but also a very particular person in his daily life, like the most qualified gentleman of his time. However, Alma is different, she is an ignorant, even some reckless woman, she is not a high-society person, but with Reynolds, she needs to adapt to his life every moment, which makes her feel very uncomfortable herself.
The conflict between the two people unfolds and deepens, and Reynolds becomes increasingly cold, which makes Alma feel flustered and anxious, and she decides to take action to save the relationship between the two people. Two people who are already different are together, which seems to be an unrecognized thing in itself, one is high up and lives a meticulous life; one is ordinary as dust, and life never pays attention to anything. Their love is always full of friction due to discomfort in all aspects, and quarrels occur at any time, but Alma likes Reynolds more and more day by day.
In fact, this story is still about an ordinary little girl who makes popular costume designers fall in love with herself, but under the director's excellent shooting technique, the whole story seems to have a lot of connotations. The soundtrack of the film is also extremely elaborate, and it is easy to bring the audience into the film and experience the life of the high society in that era.
What should love look like? Does it have to be two suitable people to achieve a happy love?
No. Love should be its purest appearance, not deliberate, not weak. In the final scene of the film, Reynolds eats food that he knows was made by Alma with poisonous mushrooms, he does not panic in the slightest, and the atmosphere between the two is calm. He was willing to be a prisoner of love, he was willing to surrender to his lover and say to her:
"Kiss me before I get sick".
The prince may fall in love with the wandering girl on the side of the road, the princess may fall in love with the ordinary and ordinary blacksmith, and love itself is unreasonable. But you always have to love, you have to love life that is inconsistent with your pace, you want to love lovers who are different from your temperament. Reynolds adapted little by little to Alma's life, he loved her ignorance, his recklessness, his love for her lust; he was fascinated by the beauty of the moment she put on her skirt, and by the tender love she showed when he was sick.
Love is like a huge knot, some people can't untie this knot in their lifetime, some people choose to give up and cut this knot directly with scissors, but even so, some people will choose to spend their entire lives to untie this knot. For the world, love is always the hottest and most precious part of life, love will always make us full of enthusiasm, always tearful but never flinching.
