Anna Karenina became a woman who would never die if she didn't do it. In the original book, Karenin, who was indifferent to his family and chasing fame and fortune, was played by Jude Law in the film, and he turned out to be a man who was forbearing, striving to balance between family and career, and full of compassion. The film gave him too little work. Through just a few words, the audience knew that he was a political figure, but the whole film did not touch on his political ambitions. Almost all of Jude Law's appearances in the whole film are dedicated to the entanglement with KK, and he is basically a weak person, constantly compromising and giving in for the sake of children, for the sake of family, and for the sake of social morality.
On Anna's side, she had the opportunity to become a tall person. Her consideration of family responsibilities, her emphasis on children, her pursuit of love, and her efforts to find a balance among various contradictions are all things in the original book that really make readers agree. But in the movie, she chose to give up her husband without too much struggle. When the husband raised the issue of the child, she just hurried home to take care of her son, and then left in a hurry, so she became a person without family values. , irresponsible mother. The audience then thought: What's so good about Voronsky, you love him so much? If he's really any better than your husband, let's just agree with you - as it turns out, the Vronsky in the movie is a frivolous man, he has nothing but a good pair of skins, and then "I love you" and "I love you forever" he has always claimed. But the audience is an adult, and these things are just jokes to them, so the lovemaking and love stories of Vronsky and Anna that are constantly shown in the film seem hollow - just two lustful people, childish and With no skills, once the man leaves the family and the mother, and the woman leaves the husband, all this glitz disappears. Such love is useless, right?
The secondary line of the film is Levin and Katie. The two of them are a pair that appears more profound in the movie. It's a pity that Levin doesn't have a lot of scenes. Except that the audience can spy on his thoughts on capitalism in the inexplicable dialogue that unfolds while weeding, we can't know what he does at other times. Katie is even more strange. As a big round face, she is far from being a socialite in Moscow. She has successfully understood the truth of life just because she was dumped by a man, and she is tall with an ugly man. Go to the ground to care for the dying. In fact, the most moving scenes in the whole film are contributed by them: Levin's confession at the dinner table when Calevien arrives, and the Scrabble game he and Katie play.
Now that the plot is over, let's talk about casting. The most confusing thing in the film is Calvin's choice. Jude Law, as a male god in the hearts of fans around the world, was chosen to be the selfish man in the original book, which is really inappropriate. As an elderly English man, he is really pitiful to be serious, but if you swap Matthew and Jude Law, make Matthew a ridiculous and disgusting politician, and make Jude Law because of his handsome appearance. Is it easier to be understood by the audience as a middle-aged man with a heart?
As an ordinary movie, there is nothing wrong with the plot of the film, it is nothing more than a self-inflicted story of a Russian Pan Jinlian. But when we know that it is based on the famous Anna Karenina, all the above rants are even more important and prominent.
