Introduction

The 48 articles collected in this book are about Wang Anyi's History of seeing movies, watching plays, and her history of visiting art galleries. These essays vividly recollect her daily thinking and analysis of movies and TV dramas. However, the articles about art museum visits are profound, with deep cultural and historical meanings. The Louvre Museum, the Vienna Art Museum, the Vatican Museum, the Amsterdam National Museum Van Gogh Art Museum, the Baroque Art Museum, etc. Paintings, sculptures, and domes all seem to flow among pages. Waterloo Bridge, Rain Man, Titanic, Bridges of Madison County, Lolita, Voyage of the Damned, Rouge, and Eighteen Springs, etc. The author's reading, comments of classic movies, and plays are like a lonely boat in the silent midnight, carrying us to roam the sea of art. She interprets plays and comments on characters with a novelist's keen and perceptive insights. Also, she analyzes and explores human nature with an ordinary person’s mindset. Reading the literary masters’ works with her unique perspective and analysis, helps us open another door of thinking. Open the book to start a journey of art and a dream of drama.
