A Room With a View: Class Situation

Let me start off by saying that A Room With a View is not my type of movie. I generally don't really enjoy what I think are called period pieces; in other words, movies that are set in the past. In different eras, maybe, is a better way to explain it. I don't really know why, but I find it very hard to enjoy them... Perhaps the only one I've liked is the recently released and Oscar-nominated (and with a few Oscar wins, too) movie called "The Theory of Everything", based on famous physicist, cosmologist, etc. Stephen Hawking, and even then it didn't focus on a specific era but rather on his life, his struggles with his disease, his love life, and... I digress. Point is, I usually don't like these types of movies, and A Room With a View was sadly no exception. Anyways, on to the class situation in the movie...

So! In the movie, Lucy and Charlotte, two seemingly upper class women, stay in a hotel in Italy, but are inconvenienced by the fact that their room doesn't have a view. Mr. Emerson and his handsome son George offer to switch rooms with them, and for some reason I don't quite understand, this seems to bother Charlotte. Anyways, although they don't seem to be poor, these men are more easy-going and open-minded and shit when compared to Lucy and Charlotte. Oh, I hadn't thought about it before, but are we allowed to cuss here? Well, already did it so... Digressing again. Point is, Lucy begins to find herself drawn to George, and eventually he surprises her by grabbing her and kissing her passionately, and Charlotte interrupts them. Once they're back home in England, Lucy is engaged to a snobby, definitely upper class guy named Cecil (even the name is snobby! No offense to any Cecils who read this, I only speak the truth.). Things get complicated when George, the other guy, moves in right next to her. We see a pretty good example of the class difference between George and Cecil in the lake scenes. Rich men are stereotypically seen as allergic to fun and real emotion, so Cecyl, being a rich man, doesn't even think of going for a swim. On the other hand, George, the fun, relatively poor guy, gets in and splashes around and stuff. So, long story short, she breaks off her marriage and tries to run away from George and her feelings for him, but ends up running off with him to Italy again. 

So... I guess that's it.
