      Watching the Movie----The Nameless Jude (Part 1)

      It's still a story about taboos and attempts to break them.

      The beginning of the movie makes me think I put the wrong disc. The dark and oppressive sky, the desolate earth, there are crows flying, not doves. A little boy, alone, accompanied by chaotic clappers, distant, strange, and sad. Then I...

      grief

      After revisiting Changmen, everything is wrong, what is the difference between coming together? After the phoenix tree was half dead, the white mandarin duck flew away.

      This time I watched Hardy again..."The Nameless Jude", the figure of Jude standing alone in the snow at the end reminded me of...

      Hardy's work is always in tune. Jude can be said to be the female version of Tess. Every choice they make in love in life is affected by fate, and it seems that they are always introduced into the desperate situation in life by an invisible force.

      A typical literary film, the rhythm is slow, the soundtrack is lyrical and soothing, the story is not strong, and it is relatively boring. Britain in the 19th century had a strong religious atmosphere. A young literary and artistic young man who dared to pursue his dreams persistently, because of a wrong marriage, led him to a path of love that was criticized and unaccepted by the church and the secular world. Staying together, cohabiting and having children, but unable to get married legally, brought huge practical difficulties to their family life, and also brought huge psychological pressure to sensitive and vulnerable children, which eventually led to an irreversible huge tragedy. Their love is shrouded in irreparable sadness and despair, and the film deeply reflects the stifling of human emotions by religion at that time. The performances of the male and female lead actors are delicate and full, and the photography, composition, color, and soundtrack are quite good, restoring the strong classical and conservative British atmosphere, and the production is excellent.

    Jude quotes

    • Sue Bridehead: Please don't call me a clever girl, Mr. Phillotson, there are too many of us about these days.

    • Sue: Why are you looking at me like that?

      Jude Fawley: Does it scare you?

      Sue: No. I am not afraid of any man.

      Jude Fawley: Why?

      Sue: Because no man would touch a woman unless she gives him reason to. A touch or a look that say come on. If you never look, they'll never come. You are the timid sex.
