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

No wonder the popularity of this film is so low, it changed Hawthorne's classics into popular romances, and added a bunch of pornographic scenes... Gary Oldman had already filmed Leon's mental illness back then, and he looks good in this film The charm is still the same, but the script is too poor and even acting alone cannot save the film. The exquisite inner drama in the original book was not interpreted at all, and the elements that were tried to be added were not successful, and the classics were destroyed with commercial temperament.

I don't really have any impression of this movie, but the scene where the teacher told us the three meanings of "A" is still lingering in my mind~

Hester Prynne: [the elder is about to pin the A on her blousse] Why do you wait? Put it on, for it is not a badge of my sin but your own.

Pearl: My father died before I reached my teens. Some say that was a punishment. My mother never remarried or loved another. Some say THAT was a punishment.
