- Quotes
Henry Hamilton: I was just remembering
[chuckles]
Henry Hamilton: a gust of wind. That first moment... it was summer. You were so young. If I'd been your father, I'd have shot me. You were wearing white and your hair was tied back, so politely. And then a little gust of wind suddenly did what I'd wanted to do since I'd first saw you. It just took a little strand of your hair and just caressed your face with it. And I knew then that I'd love you forever. That's what I'll remember, Bea.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: Epilogue: "Amy Hamilton became a leader of the Suffragette movement. At the age of 61 she won the right to cast her first vote. Beatrice Hamilton cultivated the world's first true burgundy-colored rose. She named it the Henry Otis. Frederick Arlington married in 1879. And 1880. And 1885. He filed for personal bankruptcy in 1909. Ida Glenshaw returned home to her aunts. In 1893 she spent six months in the Northland Correctional Facilities for shoplifting. She never married. Mr. And Mrs. James Percy were wed in the spring. Edith left Evenswood to move into James' cottage by the ocean. They lived happily ever after."
Good to kill time with all the nice clothing and fancy houses setting. I chose to watch this movie by reading some reviews from others saying: this movie is amazing and Jane Austen's fans will love it.
Excuse me, I'm afraid to ask, how dare them compare this movie to Jane Austen's pieces?
The story plot: Yes, this is a pure simple love story, simple love, simple conflict, simple character; Everything is simple, nothing deep.
