I love the lighting in this film, it may be one of my favorite uses of lighting. Top 10 for sure. It’s also an amazing romance that really resonated with me. I have been in a situation similar to theirs on two occasions which made the ending all the more heartbreaking. The final 20 minutes are so sad but because the love in this film is so strong. I feel myself yelling at these two to just be together. It’s such a pure film and I wish I saw it when I was in high school when I was even more romantic and doe-eyed. David Lean does a superb job of showing us the opening twice and making the impact of what we see the second time so much more powerful.
