Please look at this map of Belgium. Among the three cities Bruges/Brussels/Antwerp, which one is Hepburn’s birthplace?
The Nun's Story is a 1959 American drama film directed by Fred Zinnemann and starring Audrey Hepburn, Peter Finch, Edith Evans, and Peggy Ashcroft. The screenplay was written by Robert Anderson, based on the popular 1956 novel of the same name by Kathryn Hulme. The film tells the life of Sister Luke (Hepburn), a young woman who decides to enter a convent and make the many sacrifices required by her choice.
The film is a relatively faithful adaptation of the novel, which was based on the life of Belgian nun Marie Louise Habets. Latter portions of the film were shot on location in the Belgian Congo and feature Finch as a cynical but caring surgeon. The film was a financial success and was nominated for 8 Academy Awards.(From Wiki)
沒有屋頂的博物館@比利時三都漫遊之一
比利時其實並不大,從首都布魯塞爾延伸出去,周圍的城市都很近。與國際都市的首都相比,布魯日就如同一本打開的繪畫書,被稱為沒有屋頂的曆史博物館。此外,對於影視愛好者來說,著名影星赫本就出生於此地,這裏也是她主演的電影「尼僧物語」的舞台背景。
布魯日大部分建造於中世紀的建築被保存完好無損,使其成為歐洲保存最完好的中世紀城鎮之一,目前曆史中心是典型的中世紀古城,保存著大量中世紀至近代的建築。早期哥特式建築成為城市特色的一個部分,世界遺產。2002年它與西班牙王國的薩拉曼卡一起被選為歐洲文化之都。
布魯日市中心有一條著名的運河和同名的街道,這讓她獲得了「水之都」的別稱。在中世紀水運的便利促進了商貿的發達,伴隨多種原因,曾幾何時的繁榮慢慢衰退,如今她擁有的恍如隔世的景觀吸引著旅行者。
市場廣場的這座“鍾樓”,高83米。內有一座由47個組合的鍾,其清脆的音響每隔15分鍾就會響徹市街地,我們的清晨就是被她喚醒。
建於13~15世紀的聖母大教堂,以米開朗基羅的大理石雕刻「聖母子」著稱。
接待運送遊人的馬車
香味撲鼻,可口誘人的糖果“巧克力”在街中比比皆是
古老的歐洲中世的曆史街區,童話般的風景
運河是很多人專為來拍照的地區,尤其是在太陽落山前的黃昏,很多人聚集在一起看夢幻般的風景
