It's a pity that the way of expression may be too forceful. Except for some scenes that are switched from the stage to the display, which makes me feel that there is a different viewing experience, most of the time the performance of the stage play makes people feel a bit contrived.
But I still have to praise the choreography, lighting and costumes, which are very detailed and gorgeous.
Let's talk about characters.
Anna is very charming, charming with young women, but lacks the plumpness unique to Russian women.
Karenin was supposed to be a capitalist with a ugly face, but here he turned into a tough and good gentleman, and the good man card must be sent to him.
Warrensky's styling respects the original and gave him a mustache, but he didn't hold the mustache. There is no noble temperament, no elegant lover, except for the word handsome given to him, the only thing left is pale and powerless. You must know that this man should be perfect in both the description in the original book and in Anna's heart.
The description of the plot is still copied from the original to the screen, but for the description of the story, I do not know whether the director and screenwriter did not read the essence of the original, or they have their own understanding of these, in short, I do not understand.
Take this passage from the horse farm as a simple example, Voronsky fell a horse, Anna was heartbroken, and Karenin was hypocritical.
The original work wanted to express through this incident that the love between Anna and Vronsky was mutual and fearless of the world, and their relationship reached its peak during this period. And Karenin should be hypocritical and selfish.
But just judging from the movie, Anna here is more than calm, and more than crazy for love. Karenin couldn't see the slightest bit of a bad guy. With his innocent expression, he blindly pulled his gaffe wife away from the racecourse, which made people feel more sympathetic to him.
At the end, "Forgive me" echoed in Anna's ears. Well, once I understood that Anna in the original book, she was terrified, but she didn't seem to be begging for mercy because she was crazy about love.
The whole drama, and so on, there are many more, and they are not first-rate.
After watching the whole movie, if I imagine that I am Anna, I will fall in love with this Karenin who is only slightly bald, very family-oriented and hardworking, and still has a very charming middle-aged; I don't know if it has something to do with Jude Law's acting skills.
Well, this is just a movie, so let's pretend there is no original.
But I also don't recall the original Anna Karenina.
I couldn't let go for a long time. A beautiful woman with rules and regulations, all women of her age envy her, it seems that she is carefree. This is also the main premise of her being framed by all kinds of colored glasses: everyone thinks she is a discontented slut.
But in fact? Karenin didn't really love Anna that much, he just owned or possessed Anna selfishly, but he never cared about the inner feelings of his captive.
The appearance of Vronsky changed Anna's life from night to day. But Warrensky is also selfish. He gave Anna a new life she never had. But he never thought about how much Anna needed to pay when he was with Anna. And the future of his plans is not clear, it can even be said that he never planned!
In fact, what Anna wants is only love. She wants Vronsky and her to support each other and bear it together. If you don't think about it, then please don't make fun of your own feelings with others, okay?
Having said that, I have to say that Anna was also very wrong. It's okay to pursue true love, but after the years of burning passion, don't toss. Even if he wanted to toss, he didn't waste his precious feelings just by making the tossing object Vronsky clear.
At that time, the technology was not developed, and there was no SNS or mobile phone positioning technology. In modern times, Woronsky’s Weibo content may be about going in and out of various nightclubs, which is a standard pickup king~ (Okay, this is a digression, continue...)
In fact, Anna is not sure about the focus of her life. . It can be seen from the thoughts of her son that her son is the most important man in her life. Apart from his own flesh and blood, the men around him can be said to be in name only. Well, this is still bystanders.
After all, in the environment of that era, the character Anna still danced TONE very much, challenging the morals and ethics of the people at that time. The ending of suicide in the end, although it is a pity, but only this, this life can be regarded as a perfect ending.
Last but not least, don't take it seriously! I'm talking about this movie! ! Don't think crooked!
