Daily Dialogue — May 4, 2018
“He took me to a private sitting room, ordered food. But… he had changed. He was full of smiles and caresses, but… I knew at once that he was insincere. I saw that I had been… an amusement for him. Nothing more. I saw all this within… five minutes of our meeting. Yet I stayed.”
— The French Lieutenant’s Woman (1981), screenplay by Harold Pinter, novel by John Fowles
The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Movie Within a Movie.
Trivia: A film is being made of a story, set in 19th century England, about Charles, a biologist who’s engaged to be married, but who falls in love with outcast Sarah, whose melancholy makes her leave him after a short, but passionate affair. Anna and Mike, who play the characters of Sarah and Charles, go, during the shooting of the film, through a relationship that runs parallel to that of their characters.
Dialogue On Dialogue: An interesting movie which runs parallel loves stories: one fictional, one real.
