Title :Book Report of For Whom the Bell TollsName :Rose Wang(王秀莺)Date :March 6, 2002Familiar Quotations:1. It is better for a woman to marry a man who loves her than a man she loves. –Albanian Proverb2. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the . But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at . Every death itself makes life more loving.“Pain does not matter to a man.” Said Hemingway. The words completely revealed in this film. The film tells the love story about an American involved in Spanish civil war, then he had fallen in love with a pure girl in the battlefield. But unfortunately at the end he was shot and falling down from horse. There is not any fancy scene in this movie, even the audience just can see dark mountain scenery. Nevertheless, when you see the film, you will feel the best and the most attractive part of the film which touches the strings of the human heart is for sake of hearty, candid, breath of hero and heroines’s love. This is completely different from common agitato of love story my opinion about the character of this movie 巴劳1. He is not a bad man. Although he refused to accept the mission of blowing bridge, finally he attend the work and did it as in duty . It’s worthy to admire for his has told his cohorts the following words:(1) He said “I can live longer than you.”(2) He said “I am not having no brain.”3. He drinks all day long, but in the important moments, he does not forget his cohorts. In the film, he killed two men, in order to get two horses for his cohorts. So, he is loving his cohorts, but he is not self-concern. Pilar: is the wife of 巴劳. She looks uncivilized, but she is kind and very active. When she found that巴劳 was too self-concerned, she immediately initiatively replaced him to lead those soldiers to finish their laughts at herself “She is born ugly.” is sad because she can’t win the love from men. Once she tried to kiss a young man, but he ran away from her. The event make her feel very painful. No one would love her for her ugly appearance. Although Pilar didn’t get the love from other men, but she is a well-wisher, she loved hero and heroine and shared the love from is a woman of great insight and she knows chirognomy. She can read the way of Jordan’s life from his hand. Jordan:1. He is the representative of justice. After he finished blowing the bridge, his leg got hurt. When all the cohorts wanted to evacuate from the battlefield, Jordan decided to fight against the enemy to protect Maria and the others. This is the good deed of . Jordan’s deep love to Maria is touched the audience. He told Maria some words: “you must leave. Only after you leave, I can accomplish the task. If you don’t leave, I can’t do it. It’s a necessary that you have to leave. We will go to a permanent place. You go first, I will follow you.”3. When Maria try to tell Jordan about being treated to death by a strong-arm man, Jordan said to Maria:”I love thee, Maria,” he said ”I can love thee more.” According to Jordan’s words, we know that Jordan loves Maria with all his heart. And for Jordan, Maria is as pure as white snow. Maria:1. From the point of view of love, it’s the first love for Maria. In the film, when Maria wants to kiss Jordan, she said “Where do the noses go ? I always wondered where the noses would go.” From the words, we know that Maria’s cute and . Maria often show her love spontaneously, such as she wants to kiss Jordan, and says to him that she wants to live with him forever. Jordan laughs at her shamelessness and Maria answers him: ”Yes, I don’t know what shame is.” She really shows her mind to Joran. Maria should be admired for her . When Jordan fell from the horse, Maria screamed fiercely. We can feel the truth and health of course of true love never did run smothly. It’s a perfect description for hero and heroine in For Whom the Bell Tolls. Although people do think that they can’t be convinced by a love story without a miserable ending. I would rather believe that lovers can stay together longer than ever. They can own laughter instead of tears; sunshine instead of darkness.
