Hester Prynne was punished by the Calvinists Authority for committing adultery and stood on an ancient torture stand wearing a red "A" symbolizing adultery on her chest. In her hands she held the evidence of this sin: a baby only a few months old. Under merciless gazes, she rejected the demands of a young priest, Arthur Dimmesdale, to confess and confess to an accomplice. After being punished, Hester took up residence in a small hut outside the city, far from the crowd, where she made a living by sewing and caring carefully for her daughter, Pearl. At this time, Hester's husband came to the United States. With hatred he changed his name to Roger Chillingworth, and as a doctor, he secretly visited the accomplice who had committed adultery with Hester. So he did everything possible to get close to the priest, slandering, sneering, and constantly mentally tormenting the priest. In order to make Dimmesdale escape from her husband's shadow, Hester is determined to take her daughter and run away with him, but Roger finds out that the plan fails. And the fear of Roger and the torment of concealing his guilt made Dimmesdale's health go from bad to worse. Finally, on the eve of leaving the world, in front of all the church members, he took Hester and their daughter Pearl onto the yoke, and exchanged deep repentance at the cost of his life for a new moral life

Those idiot bastards who profess to be pious, just and noble, when they hang the A letter of shame on her chest, they also pin the name of her "shameless" lover on it, Adultery? No, it's Arthur.

If it's just a love movie, it's qualified/Go dad was really attractive when he was young Minutes of love story can actually make me cry I love the poetic love of people in the forest and Lushui, which is a huge contrast to the later moral judgment / but it is too far from the original adaptation of the novel First of all, the special meaning of the scarlet letter from adultery to holy grace It didn't show up. Secondly, the shaping of Chillingwos can be a very failure. It was originally a psychoanalysis book and was changed into a love story. The Indian rescue at the end was also very catchy. I really enjoyed watching the film. I hope there will be an adaptation that is faithful to the original in the future.
