The Painted Veil
I feel so satisfied today as I watched a good movie. The Painted Veil
It was a romantic film, though the ending was quite upsetting. The scene was very beautiful, and the story background was actually taken in Guangxi, China. I thought it was a typical “English Patient” kind of story, but it wasn’t. It was about how an English married couple went through all the barriers between eachother while they faced hardship and the fear of cholera in the cholera-infested region, China during 20s. They finally understood eachother by travelling through all the hard time together. That’s what the tagline says - Sometimes the greatest journey is the distance between two people. I love the acting of Edward Norton. He acted so well, though was in the similar way as how he acted in Illusionist. I also like the way they took the Chinese side of story, which is very different from the past Asian stories taken by western viewers. They took it in very factual way.
I would like to read this story from the original book as I knew the film only tells story of the first part of the book.
When you watch a good movie, you will naturally feel spiritually satisfied. Oh well, this is how I feel…
