One day in the summer of 1965, the housewife Francesca sent her husband Richard and the children away to do the housework alone. Photographer Robert Kincaid stumbled here by mistake and asked her about the location of the Rossman Bridge. Her heart was calm, and she led him to the bridge. At the end of the day's work, he gave her a handful of wildflowers to thank her and accepted her invitation to have dinner with her. After he left in the early hours of the next morning, she returned to Roseman Bridge, nailed a note to the bridge, and invited him to dinner again. He accepted the invitation again.
The two meet at Rossman Bridge, and the flame of love burns in their hearts. He begged her to go with him, but she could not leave her existing family and worldly happiness behind. He left in a daze. More than a decade later, Richard, who was in love with Francesca, died. Three years later, she received news of Robert's death. He left most of his stuff to her and demanded that his ashes be scattered on the Rossman Bridge.
The most beautiful appearance of love, in addition to life and death, is love and can not, that is, when they meet, can not be together. The most beautiful appearance of a woman, even if she has a child, is still remembered.
"No one understands that when a woman makes the choice of marriage and having children, in one way, her life begins, but on the other hand, it stops. She established a real life and set aside her personal needs so that her children could grow up. When they leave, they also take away her real life. At this point, she could no longer live her life, nor could she remember what had kept her alive. Because no one had asked her, and she hadn't herself. ”
It's a desperate film, it's a poignant film, and it's a touching film.
Love is always so hurtful.
Intense sensual love, and restrained rational morality, in 135 minutes, kept tearing, tearing out the great and small human nature, tearing out the painful and joyful encounter, tearing out a classic and straight to the heart of the work.
Meryl Streep's superb performance was nominated for two actresses, oscars and Golden Globes, and although she eventually lost, the film is still one of her masterpieces.
