She acts out at Robert for making her feel this way, is set to leave, and is set to stay. As is the case throughout, Streep beautifully portrays this complex character and the dilemmas before her. Regardless of what she chooses, she will never feel complete as her heart is guaranteed to be pulled in two separate directions. It is not manufactured and you can feel her dilemma. In this tense and dramatic scene, the drama feels real.

They are brief soulmates, but Francesca must choose: her family or Robert. Her worries about Robert no longer wanting her are long gone. He gives her one last chance to come with him. In his truck, Robert can be seen hanging the crucifix Francesca gave him on his rearview mirror and waiting at a green light. Leaving town, Richard winds up behind Robert. They look at one another, Francesca leans over in the front seat to get a better look at him in the pouring rain, but they go their separate ways. Staring at one another in the rain, the film refuses to go for the overly dramatic and unrealistic conclusion. With her husband Richard (Jim Haynie) home now, Francesca goes into town with him where she sees Robert. Yet, no moment really rips your heart out akin to the last chance they have to be together in spirit. With the relationship defined in small moments - Robert picking her flowers, dancing in the kitchen, taking photos at the bridge, laying in the bathtub, and simply talking at the table - the romance is incredibly authentic. Yet, as much as it hurts them both, neither wish to forget what they felt over the course of those four days as they, by their own admission, cram a lifetime of passion into just four days. It will end because there are forces beyond their control that pull them away from one another.

Thus, both know their relationship is doomed. The part of her that would jump and leave at the drop of a hat is long gone, for fear of instilling a bad message to her children. Francesca, meanwhile, ditched her dreams long ago to have children. Taking him all over the world, he is devoted to the world to the detriment of his relationships with women. Robert is not married to a woman, but is married to his work. Quickly falling for him, their relationship is brief, just four days, but very much akin to the one in Brief Encounter. However, photographer Robert Kincaid comes to town to take pictures of the bridges of her Iowa hometown for a National Geographic spread. With her husband and children out of town for a few days, she plans on just getting some time away from them and breathing. In 1965, Francesca is an unhappy housewife. Both a passionate and mournful look at love, the film is a brilliantly constructed look at relationships. Set in both 1965 and the present day, the film looks at the affair between Francesca Johnson (Meryl Streep) and Robert Kincaid (Clint Eastwood) as it occurs and as it is viewed by Francesca's two children as they learn about it after their mother's death. Portraying two people meeting for a fleeting few days in 1965, this film is a transcendent look at love and denial that is positively heart wrenching.

Though it is possible that Eastwood did not take inspiration from Lean's film, the two are incredibly similar thematically and plot-wise.
