Based on the classic novel Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy. A silhouette of a bourgeois era in Europe in the 20th century. The protagonist Tess, a beautiful and innocent little girl, is involved in a tragedy just because of an aristocratic surname. Such a beautiful girl with no social status seems to be doomed to the beginning of this tragedy, but Tess's soul and character is like an alternative, perhaps because of the noble blood in her bones, she can't bear to enjoy being a mistress without dignity. Luxurious life to come. Eric exhorted "your beauty is enough to live a better life", and even stated that he "didn't have a good death". I have to say that the author's and director's drawing skills are absolutely top-notch. The large amount of blank space and light and shadow in the original film left the audience with infinite reverie and visual impact. Without losing the connotation of the original work, it can give full play to its advantages to achieve another level of artistic appeal. Undoubtedly, this is the tragedy of Tess caused by her character, and it is also the tragedy of this era. Unyielding to fate but defeated by fate, many years of world events also caused Tess's lonely soul to float without sustenance. Until I met Angel on the dairy farm far away from Eric Castle, and got the solace and even sustenance of the soul for a long time, but Tess was wrong. In such an era, no one can tolerate a woman's "unchaste", innocent Tess She thought that people who stayed away from sin would forgive her, a lost child, and she couldn't bear to hide from her husband and tell the truth on the wedding night. Obviously, Tess's super-era independence and pursuit of spiritual purity and satisfaction are contrary to this capitalist society, making this beautiful woman live a miserable life, suffering from displacement, and finally under the long-term repression. The tragic ending of turning back. Perhaps this is her best home. At the end of the film, Tess sleeps comfortably on the pagan Stonehenge, waiting for the sentence of death. The sun still rose the next day, but life was impermanent. Thanks to the director for moving the novel to the screen, and enjoying the nearly three hours of oil painting-like colors, the frames are as beautiful as picture scrolls, a spiritual shock, and visual enjoyment. As the pastor said, "wealth floats in the clouds", and it is the same today. The above is a little bit of my ignorance. Written from the movie watching diary on March 28, 2020.
