There can be no perfect season for watching a movie than , when you are ill. It is the most refreshing thing to bring sunshine upon your gloomy day. And especially when you are all by yourself. So today I watched Howard's End, based on the novel by E.M.Forster. Not as promising as A Passage to India , but it was a good one time watch movie. Specially for the sake of nice story and its Wonderful Setting.
Its strange, my love for England even goes back to the days I didn't know what England exactly is. I knew only one name London, which fascinated me a lot. England's landscape has an air of romance but deep gloom, a mysterious combination indeed. Whether you watch Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre or Howard's End - where British landscape comes to its fullest charm, you would find an unflinching gloom hanging over. May be its climate, but may be its much more. May be its the sense of inevitable Tragedy that looms over...?
Though Howard's End does not end tragically, you don't feel very happy in the end. However ends the story - there is always a sense of tragedy deep beneath. Be it Howard's End, Wuthering Heights or Jane Eyre. Although all three of them ends on a happy note - that end was built up on such a sharp edge of tragedy that only you remember is, something remarkable happened - beyond Happiness or Tragic.
