"Room with a View"
-----
Possession is often mistaken for the essence of "love."
"You don't want to belong to me, you don't want to be owned by me, then you definitely don't love me, you must have other ideas, you are still thinking of better." 」 The possessive man said this indignantly.
Only one object can talk about "possession" and "possession", with a clear price and ownership.
But is a lover a "thing"?
The film "Room with a View" discusses the difference between "love" and "possession", alluding to the confrontation between "humanism" and "authoritarianism".
In 19th-century Britain, with its severe class divisions and strict hierarchical system, it was a representative country of "authoritarianism". Miss Lucy, from the Upper Class of England, and her cousin Charlotte went on a vacation together to Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance.
Lucy is a young and beautiful young girl full of spirit, she likes literature and art, advocates freedom, and longs for true love. Unfortunately, however, the hotel room where she and her cousin lived could not see the beautiful and romantic scenery of Florence, so they discussed exchanging rooms with the guests of the room next door with a beautiful view, a British father and son.
Although his father readily agreed, George was filled with resentment, and he was depressed after the loss of the beautiful scenery. But soon, the unruly George is impressed by the elf-like cute Lucy, and the newly opened Lucy can't resist George's crazy pursuit, and the two soon fall in love.
Born into high society, Lucy was educated in strict English aristocratic etiquette, and she was a little embarrassed to tolerate many bad habits in George, who came from the lower class, and her cousin Charlotte also showed contempt for the unruly George.
The two lovers, who were in love, soon ended the brief encounter in Florence and returned to England.
Returning to England, Lucy was engaged to a well-known English gentleman by arrangement with her parents.
Lucy's fiancé is a restrained man who adheres to the social etiquette of high society, but acts like a robot in front of his excited fiancée, not only demanding that he not exceed the rules, but also demanding Lucy strictly.
The tedious procedures and ritualized interactions made Lucy feel suffocated. Soon she felt herself like a princess locked up in a castle, a closed, dark castle with no windows, and she couldn't see the beautiful scenery outside.
At this time, she and George are reunited in a square where the low-level workers are fighting against the powerful. Lucy, who had never faced a bloody scene of violent confrontation, could not help but faint to the ground, and was promptly asked for help by George, who was speaking on behalf of the lower class.
Lucy, who had awoken from a thrilling panic, was touched by George's blood-boiling rebellious spirit, and she couldn't help but feel even more panicked.
George was a living, real, energetic person, and she was nothing more than a lark in a cage, at the mercy of others, powerless.
Her fiancé, who is bright on the outside and selfish and cowardly on the inside, has nominally "possessed" her by the power of class, but has never given her real love and passion, because he has never had the courage and courage to rebel against the spiritual imprisonment of his own class, and he is just a breathing puppet, and hopes to drag Lucy into a dark spiritual cell, a room where the scenery can never be seen.
"He doesn't love you, he just wants to possess you, and he doesn't want you to have your own thoughts and emotions." And I, when I hold you tightly, I hope you have your own yearning, I love you. George said to Lucy.
He hoped that Lucy, a lark-like girl, would burst out of the cell of authoritarian confinement, get free breathing oxygen, live in a room with a view, and enjoy true love and freedom.
It was two different forms of love: Florentine romance, and The control and possession of English absolutism.
In the end, Lucy made her choice, she became a real lark, flapping her light wings, and flew to George, a free man who wanted her to be free, which is probably the true meaning of love.
