Remember the Purest Love----the Comments on Waterloo Bridge Abstract: In the world of love, , there are too many this kind of stories for thousands of years, some of them have happy endings, while others just have an ending with deep sigh. In Waterloo Bridge, the Mara finally left Roy, and she proved her pure love by her death. She chose death whether because of some worldly prejudice, or because of the baptism of her own mind? In a word, it is always a tragedy with a legendary color. The old movie exceeds half a century ago while wins praise from generation to generation.Key words:Waterloo Bridge, pure love, women"Waterloo Bridge" as one of the three great beautiful immortal love film in the movie history (the other two are "Casablanca" "gone with the wind"), is a very classic, moving film, with some legendary, very high sad color.At the beginning of this film, a military vehicle parked in the Waterloo Bridge, British Colonel Roy stepped down from the car. He took an ivory carving of the charm from his pocket, with deep contemplation, lonely. An eternal affection before twenty years appeared like before.The film flashed back to 1914, the beginning of the First World War when Myra and Roy met on Waterloo Bridge in a London air raid b ecause of an accidental opportunity. As time went by, two loving people decided to get married right away, but Roy received the order--- the troops must march before evening which is the day in the very upcoming wedding. After the 2 lovers tore apart a few times, Maya accidentally saw Roy's name was on the list, which means Roy was dead. When the Roy's mother, a courteous and accessible woman, came to see Myra, at this time Maya had a bad mood with straying thought, confused language in terms of her lover Roy’s death. Later on, in order to maintain life, Maya and her friends had become street girls. However, Roy did not die, and he came back. Compared to old experiences, Maya could not face the prominent Roy, Roy's marriage and his family. She came to Waterloo Bridge, walking towards speeding military vehicle without fear.The theme of love was closely throughout the film. Mara, regardless of his dancing career, went to meet Roy and delay performance; it was a main reason she was a street girl. Roy fell in love at first sight, without consulting with his family, and immediately decided to marry her. But the war made them tear apart, which changed Mara’s destiny, although Roy's family forgave and trusted her once again, Mara felt not to match the prominent Roy, to maintain Roy and his family honor, with the low level that she can't forgive their shadow. She ended his young life.Mara chose death, the outcome was very cruel, but it could be a relief. Even if Mara was alive, even though Roy found Myra, could they be as the same as before? Even Roy and his mother did not mind, but did his family can accept Myra? If Roy gave up for Myra, would they be happy without bless of their relatives? Waterloo Bridge witnessed their love, her death proved her purest love even she had become a street girl, which let Roy always remembered the woman he loved may be the best outcome. The film does not have great momentum of the scene, nor whirling suspense, there is only a hazy memory of approximate visual enjoyment, only a beautiful artistic conception just like seeing a small bridge. From the hair, between the eyes, every little finger, it shows the faith and dedication of love. It is a lingering touching love story, but ends up with a tragedy. And a moment that ought to have lasted forever.After watching the film "Waterloo Bridge", a deeply sad mood is also kept in mind. Although movie plot is simple, there is a poignant force to make us moved. Although movie has the black and white screen, the performance of the actors is great, the scene is clear and aesthetic. On the other hand, the black and white screen has effect on tragedy colors and classic taste.In the film "Waterloo Bridge", theme song "Auld lang syne", adapted from ancient Scotland folk song "the good old days", appears repeatedly, and throughout the film, which creates a romantic mood and gives the film a heartwarming, lingering sentiment. It also witnesses the moving everlasting love song. Especially at the end of the film : the heroine Mara crashed and died, the hero Roy in the empty bridge, picked up Mara's handbag, with the film's theme music sounded again, which leads the audience to feeling a endless aftertaste. There is no doubt that the music plays an important role in the film'ssuccess. Therefore, once "Waterloo Bridge" is mention, its famous melody "Auld lang syne" will be immediately reminded.In the film "Waterloo Bridge", the ivory carving lucky charms, the use of props auspicious symbols can be mentioned. Lucky charms appeared five times in the film. The first is in the beginning, the second is a few years later, Roy will go to the battlefield, he missed Mara from the craving; the third is that Roy gave it to Mara in the Roy family, in order to show his sincere and love, which implied the co mplex of Mara’s heart at that time; The last is after the death of Mara, Roy found the Mara remains on the bridge. Lucky charms witnessed that the two meet -- love -- farewell, and is an important prop to thrust the entire movie forward.In the age of unbelieving in love, who can give up their lives for love? Modern people who eager to eternal love can feel the enduring love in the movie "Waterloo Bridge". From the beautiful and sad love story, we should be full of hope and will never change for love. There is a constant thing called waiting, even though you have not or will never have, you can still keep waiting, waiting for love, waiting for hope. Just like in the movie "Waterloo Bridge" Roy memorizes and contemplates the time with Mara, maybe she was just a dream, but we can still wait. Waiting has become a kind of optimistic sentiment, a faithful faith.“I’m waiting for you”, the love theme in the movie always makes us keep in our minds.Bibliography:1. 李尚宏. 经典中的永恒之美——评论经典爱情电影《魂断蓝桥》的戏剧性[J].电影文学. 2008 (21)2. 李政. 浅谈《魂断蓝桥》中的悲剧之美[J]. 电影文学. 2010(21)3 齐殿斌. 假如我们拍《魂断蓝桥》[J]. 当代电视. 2005(01)4. 李珂. 巧中有情悲里寓美——经典影片《魂断蓝桥》的叙事模式[J]. 中南林学院学报. 2003(06)5. 谷亮. 电影《魂断蓝桥》爱情悲剧的营造艺术[J]. 文学教育(上). 2011(07)6. 刘一彬. 《魂断蓝桥》人物主体的切割与重建[J]. 福建商业高等专科学校学报.。
