Riview on: A Room With A View

      A Room With A View, the 1985 film  is a movie based on E. M Foster book, it's a story about a young man and woman who fall in love while vacationing in Florence and how they altered each others lives forever. But also it is a story about how a single travel and the experiences it encompasses can change you'er perspective and therefore you're live and the way you see things in it. Also it presents class stereotype issues in the British culture. In this film the room with a view is a very symbolic name and a very assertive one. In the movie the characters called for a room with a view and its of understanding because everybody wants the best view on a hotel room when on vacation. But the message I understood was much more than just a good view. You see in a room with a view, you can stare at the view that place has to offer. And for me this movie had just that staring at different "stereotypes"different kind of people. In the movie most of the important characters have an antagonist. This provides for broader view of a topic for example the clergymen are suppose to be very strict and "by the book"but in the movie one of them was like that and the other was kind of more liberal and of free spirit. An other example is the one between Charlotte and Lucy were the first one is a very old fashioned classical  style of women, also depicted with her age, she is old. The other one Lucy is the open minded more liberal one, also depicted with her age, she is young. There are other examples of this in the film but for me this was a pretty good relation between the characters and the title. Because they provided the view that we wanted.

  1. The subject you mention here of class and personality differences exposed by the film intrigued me very much while I was watching A Room With A View. I study public relations and advertising and one of the things we have to keep in mind is how people relate to subjects and each other. Therefore, it was very interesting to see how alike and very different characters related to each other.

  2. "You see in a room with a view, you can stare at the view that place has to offer. And for me this movie had just that staring at different 'stereotypes' different kind of people"

    When you say "stereotypes," are you referring to the different traditions and the etiquette the characters were forced to follow because of the time period?
