There are indeed lots of movies I have watched; either Indonesian or foreign ones.Yet, I seldom put up movies on my reviews if they do not leave any impressions to me at all.
"The Painted Veil" is one of the most endearing romance movies ever. It is based on the novel of Somerset Maugham. Taking a set mostly in Shanghai and a remote area in China with the cholera oubreak in 1920s, a spouse encounters some marital conflicts, which lead them into a great romance through a journey that touches your humanity side. The storyline is actually a bit typical in my country ( a lot of romance Indonesian movies have this kind of storyline.). I am in love with the musical background too. I think the piano solo really gives emotional feelings to the movie. With a little bit of flasback, I was a bit in tears already when the movie just started. And I was more in tears at the end:-(. I'd say "The Painted Veil" also displays some cultural background of Chinese in the earlier time around 1920s ( or maybe the culture I saw in the movie is still firmly believed by the Chinese).
I just don't feel satisfied with the ending! but in some points the ending is also very relieving; the loyalty is finaly there in her heart and mind!.( if you are lost, then you've got to see "The Painted Veil", then you might know what I mean by "Loyalty" here.)
Here are some of my favorite quotes taken from the movie:
Walter Fane : I knew when I married you that you were selfish and spoiled. But I loved you. I knew you only married me to get as far away from your mother as possible. And I hoped that one day... there'd be something more. I was wrong. You don't have it in you.
Kitty Fane: If a man hasn't what's necessary to make a woman love him then it's *his* fault not hers.
Walter Fane: Either way. Tomorrow morning we are to leave for Mei-tan-fu, or I shall file my petition.
Kitty Fane: Walter, you can't be serious about taking me into the middle of a cholera epidemic.
Walter Fane: Do you think that I'm not?
Kitty Fane: My God. That's what you want isn't it? Do you really think Charlie will let you do this?
Walter Fane: I don't think Charlie has very much to say about it.
Kitty Fane: Everything you said is true. Everything. I married you even though I didn't love you. But you knew that. Aren't you as much to blame for what's happened as I?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charlie Townsend: Women are always under the impression that men love them more that they really do.
Kitty Fane: I wouldn't delude myself for a second that you were in love with me.
Charlie Townsend: Now there you're wrong.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kitty Fane: For God's sake, Walter, will you stop punishing me? Do you absolutely despise me?
Walter Fane: No. I despise myself.
Kitty Fane: Why?
Walter Fane: For allowing myself to love you once.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kitty Fane: It's raining cats and dogs.
Kitty Fane: I said it's raining cats and dogs.
Walter Fane: Yes, I heard you.
Kitty Fane: You might have answered.
Walter Fane: I suppose I'm not used to speaking unless I've something to say.
Kitty Fane: If people only spoke when they had something to say, the human race would soon lose the power of speech
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Walter Fane: Do you like flowers?
Kitty Fane: Not particularly, no. Well, I mean yes, but we don't really have them around the house. Mother says, "Why purchase something you can grow for free?" Then, we don't really grow them either. It does silly really. To put all that effort into something that's just going to die.
Note from me about this line " I think this really shows the ending is."
My favorite scene is when Kitty wanted her husband to pass the salt. It does really shows Kitty's characters
Happy Watching, I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

| Kalau jaman dulu tahun 80an, belum banyak yang namanya channel TV, hiburan lain yang didapat adalah dari radio. Sekarang orang denger radio buat dengerin lagu, kirim salam, selain denger berita, itu jelas, meskipun jaman dulu juga sudah begitu. Hanya saja, sepertinya ada yang hilang..... Dulu waktu SD, setiap saya pulang sekolah sambil makan siang saya langsung puter radio dan cari yang namanya Sandiwara Radio. Atau sambil makan malam, saya puter radio cari yang namanya Sandiwara Radio.... seru seru sih masih ingat beberapa. Tutur Tinular Mantili, Lasmini, Aria Kamandanu, dll! ini favorit sekali. Sampai sekarang my vivid imagination about the story is still clear. Imaginasi berkembang! tahu dong yang namanya radio kita hanya bisa bayangin aja, dan it was a lot of fun!. Gimana mantili beraksi, gimana Lasmini berpakaian dan sebagainya. Meski sebenernya nggak ingat juga gimana terusannya atau akhirnya. Mak Lampir Favorit juga nih, nggak terlalu banyak yang bisa diingat dari sandiwara ini. Tapi seru banget, dulu waktu kecil habis pulang sekolah cuma pake kaos dalam dan celana pendek sambil makan siang dengerin ini sandiwara radio. Ketawanya mak Lampir! rambutnya! tongkatnya semua jelas dalam imajinasi saya. Pernah dulu waktu mati lampu, denger sandiwara ini pake radio yang pakai baterai! pas mak lampir ketawa, kita pada pegang bantal dan saling ngeruntel ( deket2). Srintil Nggak ingat apa ini nama orang (tapi sepertinya sih iya) lokasi atau apa. Yang jelas ini sandiwara radio Horror! serem saya masih ingat tuh ceritanya. Apalagi ada background musik seremnya, didengerin malem2 jadi tambah berasa! Saya masih TK waktu itu... ada penggalan kata yang masih saya ingat , kira-kira begini .... "Rumahnya gelap, ada sumur depan rumah... kemudian Srintil mengendap.. pelan-pelam dan tiba-tiba Srintil merasa ada yang mengikutinya dari belakang tiba-tiba..." Nah sekarang beda! anak sekolah pulang kerumah main games, les, liat TV sampe sore. Sandiwara radio sekarng sudah punah, meski nggak totaly gone. Beberapa hari yang lalu, saya denger sandiwara radio tentang family affair, tapi once again tidak menarik seperti dulu. Yang jelas Sandiwara radio nggak memancarkan pesonanya lagi. Pesonanya sudah terkalahkan dengan sandiwara televisi yang lebih visual, nggak usah berimajinasi tentang bagaimana cerita / scene ceritanya. Lu2Ar For my contacts who speak English Radio series were quite popular around 80s. At that time, TV channels here were only few; not so interesting ones. When I was in elementary, I often turned on the radio just to follow some radio series ( Tutur Tinular, Mak Lampir and Srintil) I think I still had some more, but I just don'r remember what they were. Now everything is of course different; coming home from school, children take lessons, watch TV, or play video games sometimes until late in the afternoon. Slowly but surely, radio series become rare. No one wants to listen to them even if there is any on the radio. Radio series become less interesting than TV series. This is something obvious; watching TV series you don't even need to imagine how the scene is, yet radio series your imagination works. Anyhow, I don't know about these radio series abroad. | | |
 Mona Lisa's smile is considered being the most mysterious smile ever. I had never been curious about Mona Lisa, until my brother showed me a real face of Mona Lisa, which is not the same at all with the painting.I directly searched on my favorite online encyclopedia htt://wikipedia.com.Mona Lisa, a 16 century oil painting by Leonardo Da Vinci is the most famous painting. I really do not want to give away too much since you can also find it out yourself. If you are lazy, then just click the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monalisa ( it is interesting). Lu2Ar
