"Tess": It turns out that purity is freewheeling

The first half of the film portrays a woman who would rather endure hardship than go against her heart. She is pure, pious and lovely. She is so beautiful. Someone advised her to live a good life with her beauty, but she refused. It was absolutely unnecessary that she still confessed to her husband that she was being harassed in every possible way because of her reputation, and she just said "I will work overtime to finish it". Such a beautiful and moving image of fate was created.

And the behavior at the end was like smashing a fine china on the ground. Tess decided to kill a loving and righteous person who took care of her family and loved her wholeheartedly just to find her "true love". "? Is this a move made by someone who buries children with his own hands and forbears all the rumors, not to mention that after so many years of age, he still hasn't filled up that stupid girly plot? And what did he do wrong except fall in love with her, what could Tess do to hide everything from him?

Maybe the inexplicable collapse of the characters is just to show the complex human nature? What a disappointment at the end. I guess it will have a shadow on all the adaptations of famous novels in the future. I don't understand what the gist of this story is. What is the significance of shaping Tess? All the praises disappeared the moment she picked up the knife. The only thing left is the way she eats strawberries at the beginning of the video.

(I must have liked the character image of Tess without the last half hour, but after watching the last half hour, I have nothing to say)

    It was supposed to be a dog-blood love triangle, but the director gave it the texture of an oil painting. The torture of freedom and the whipping of love make people neither hate nor love. In Tess' life, there was no choice. It's hard to choose bravely, and it's just tossing it in the palm of the man. Later, she wanted to break through the darkness and ran away with her husband at the cost of killing her lover. I thought that I would meet love in the rest of my life. Unexpectedly, it was love who sent her to the gallows.

    Polanski seems to be wandering, on the one hand accurately executing the dramatic program, foreshadowing, omitting, and advancing, on the other hand, he often stops to experience the world with the characters in the play, such as the sleep pan of a milkman who never died, the broken camera in front of Angel's house The rubble is inserted into the lens. (Although he rarely shoots exterior scenes, this one is very well done.) However, compared to Days of Heaven, it always seems a bit broken, probably carrying a heavy text

Tess quotes

  • Angel Clare: Leave that! You're my wife, not my servant!

    Tess: I'm your wife? You don't want to live with me. You want to go, don't you?

    Angel Clare: I couldn't stay without despising myself. What is worse, without despising you. How can we live together while that man exists? He is your natural husband. Not I.

  • Angel Clare: It's absolutely necessary that one of us remain here - to avoid a scandal. We must at least keep up appearances.

    Tess: Oh, yes. We must.
