Review: The basic story of Brief Encounter is of a brief encounter between two people at a train station. Both were married people who were committed to different lives. They fall in love; but it is a hopeless situation. How will they resolve this? Will they resolve this? What would you do in the situation? This film reminds me of a line I heard in another movie, he, "We will never have happiness." She, " Then we must be happy without it." David Lean did an exceptional job of directing this film whom later directed Hopscotch . The use of Rachmaninoff's Concerto no. 2 in C minor, help set the mood and added continuity to the film. Hear it again in the film [The Seven Year Itch (1955)]. |
