His life is his art. He felt an echo from another soul when he heard Griet speak about the colors of the clouds, and saw her fascinated eyes with his paintings, full of raw curiosity, inquiry and joy in the image of his mysterious pinholes. The contest between Griet and the hostess is quite interesting. The painter is not disgusting with the mistress, he also stands intoxicatedly behind her and strokes the back of her neck when she plays the electric piano. This scene was seen by the girl, who was angry but not moving. It can be seen that the girl did not show cowardice and humility in the face of the feelings of an upper-class man because of her maid status. On the contrary, when the fire in the large room is burning, the luxurious lamps are flickering, and the painter and the hostess are sitting in the room, at this time, she walks in in the camera, walking quickly and firmly, towards the utensils that need to be wiped. She didn't look at the painter, but for a moment she took his gaze away, right through the pale face of the mistress. Almost naked spiritual temptation, she resisted silently. And the son of the hostess and the painter, the little boy who stood in the dark and peeped with evil eyes from beginning to end, once soiled the sheets she had just washed, and she slapped him without hesitation. As a maid, she is brave and independent. However, she is just a maid. When she approached the artist's art and life again and again, from helping him get titanium white from the cabinet, to buying paint, grinding ultramarine blue, to finally becoming his model across the class, she has been struggling between escape and desire. More fear and frame-up. This pressure comes from public opinion. She even heard gossip about herself and the painter from her lover, Peter, the butcher's son on the street. It also comes from moral constraints and the light of a knife in the eyes of another woman. She finally let go of all worldly concerns. When the painter firmly asked her to wear the large pearl earrings of the hostess, she finally did not refuse, and said firmly: I will listen to you. As she sat by his easel, he stared at her lips and said: sip, sip, sip. And so her already full lower lip became more and more wet and charming, and the lust was buried under the painter's rocky face, or you thought he was at the moment possessed by the pure beauty of the girl. The good thing is that the film never shows any of their skin-to-skin relationship, but you deeply remember her tension, longing, surprise, fear, desire, possession and love. That night she asked him to burn the tip of the needle through the flame, pass through her earlobe with his own hands, and make a slow, forceful "chap" sound, the candle burning finely, this pierced body. So brave, is it only when facing such a talented, serious and introverted man who almost "ransacked" her home like a lion when she was framed, and found a tortoise shell and wooden comb to help her wash away her grievances, only when facing such a man? Such a person possessed by art, with himself Are there similar souls? I hardly ever watch a movie for two nights in a row - watching the duke at a dinner party, rowing boats to the painter's palace at night, the river, the castle and the lights flickering. Watch Griet and the little butcher Peter walking on the road in the 17th century Dutch countryside. The large golden green fields and trees reflect Peter's cunning and innocent love for Griet. Watching Griet wearing a thin gray-purple dress, walking in the heavy snow, climbing the steps along the ancient stone wall to the bridge, pushing the door open and watching the old man pour out large chunks of ultramarine blue paint from the glass bottle. Look at the end, the painting, when it first slowly looms out of the film, is almost over. This painting carries too many meanings. It appears in the eyes of the Duke. The Duke is lustful and greedy, but it is its final destination. It appears for the second time in the film, the camera slowly flows on the peeling face of the girl with a pearl earring, the background music is "Griet's Theme", and it is very moving, time disappears in an instant, you feel suffocated, everything is still at that moment, The background is endless emptiness and desolation, and all the complex and intertwined feelings are transformed into eternity by a painting. Tears rolled in. Maybe that's why, this is the only scene that's not affected by the plot and is touching for two consecutive nights.
