Ladies in Lavender (2004)Misty watercolor memories

The late Roger Ebert (of the Chicago Sun-Times) said, "perfectly sweet and civilized... It's a pleasure to watch Smith and Dench together; their acting is so natural it could be breathing." rated it. Stephen Holden of The New York Times praised this film as "Misty watercolor memories." Reading this reviewer's review, he describes the film very accurately - it roughly translates to: "On a rainy and windy night, cats poking warmly into the quilts in the living room, Judi Dench. and Maggie Smith comfortably reduces the smoke out - [Dench and Smith] Their sink INTO the Roles the aS comfortably the aS House Burrowing CATS INTO ares ares down quilt on windswept, Rainy night Update .. . " Watching this movie makes me think again, "The world has to go back to memories like warm tea, caring for a garden, and blurred watercolors, and everything else is useless."

It's in my top 5 of my favorite movies, and the movie begins like this: Two elderly sisters (younger sisters) who were living in peace on a morning in a seaside village in England after a loud storm all night long. Unmarried, and her older sister is widowed , she finds a young Pole washed up on the shore by the waves. He regain consciousness to find things that are deployed after the works embellish calm the draw.

Although most films end with great scenes in their own way - especially British films until the late 2000s, they tend to have a pretty classic ending as in "The Man Who Cried (2000)" or in "In America (2002)" " - Among them, in particular, this movie is not flashy at all, unlike the endings of light movies shot by Hollywood, and it has a long lingering regret and lingering feeling due to the faint heart of Ursula in the movie. Is it because of this deep empathy? The first time I saw this movie I was staring at the screen until the end credits were over, I've watched this movie ten more times since then, but every time the credits go up and the screen goes completely black, it hits me. I tie it up. Would you say it is the comfort you feel in sorrow? There, a composer named Nigel Hess creates the music, and the melodies of the talented young violinist Joshua Bell and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra convey a truly inexpressible power of music. I also remember that this song was also used in the documentary "When Winter Comes to Buncheon Village" aired as a Lunar New Year special by KBS in 2011. The beautiful snowy train tracks and Joshua Bell's performance go really well together. With respect, who is the producer of this documentary? You created a wonderful harmony between the video, the music, and the faint narration that made you even think about it.

I think that the melody of the violin is more suitable to listen to in the evening than during the daytime, especially after midnight. Because the background of the end credits of the movie is usually black, it reminds us of the night sky, and in this case, Joshua Bell's performance is added to make us imagine many things. I even tried to weave end credits including these elements. If possible, it is better to enjoy it past midnight.
