英语歌曲：The Way We Were

Song：The Way We Were
Artist: Barbra Streisand

Mmm. Mmm.
Memories, light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories of the way we were.

Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
smiles we give to one another
for the way we were.

Can it be that it was all so simple then
or has time rewritten every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
tell me would we? Could we?

Memories, may be beautiful and yet
what's too painful to remember
we simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter we will remember
whenever we remember
the way we were.

The Way We Were (Film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Way We Were is a 1973 American film which tells the story of Katie Morosky, an intense Jewish woman, who marries Hubbell Gardner, a carefree but talented WASP(White Anglo-Saxon Protestant), following World War II. Fundamental differences in outlook and personality – as revealed in their responses to the rise of McCarthyism – eventually pull them apart. Starring Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford, along with Bradford Dillman, Lois Chiles, Patrick O'Neal and Viveca Lindfors, the film is both a romance of star-crossed lovers and a morality tale about the importance of commitment.

An underlying theme is the elusive quality and role of beauty: Externally, Hubbell's perfect features, aristocratic air, and self-assurance contrast with Katie's homeliness, awkwardness, and agitated yearning. But as the story unfolds, her sterling character emerges, while his gifts are squandered, untapped for any purpose beyond self-gratification. A bittersweet role reversal transpires, in which she blossoms as a true beauty, while he fades into slack insubstantiality (Streisand would later star in other films that reflect this trope, including A Star is Born and Yentl).

The movie was written by Arthur Laurents (whose novelization of the story was published in 1972) and directed by Sydney Pollack. Laurents wrote the role of Katie specifically for Streisand, basing the character on a woman he had met at college who was active in the Young Communist League.

Part of the movie was filmed on location in New York's Capital Region. The first part of the movie was shot at Union College and in and around Ballston Spa, New York.
