How does one become a tragedy?

Tess's misfortune was caused by that era, and the source was the yearning of the lower class for the upper class life and the unearned gain. What's more important is that the male-dominated society is almost perverted and strict with women's chastity, and the whole women are in a very vulnerable social situation. You will find that in that era, no matter how Tess fought, he could not escape the tragic fate.

Of course, I am fortunate to be able to live in a modern society, where every girl and every girl has more choices, and is no longer tormented by these strict dogmas and secular vision. This is the result of the constant struggle, constant thinking, and mutual understanding of countless predecessors. But in today's society, there are similarities. Contemporary people still have a virgin complex. On the surface, some people feel that it is unnecessary to take it too seriously, but when it is their turn, it may become a hard indicator again. There are also men who like to play with random women themselves, but will never marry them. These people are very similar to the male characters in the movie, Angel knows that Tess is a victim, she can forgive, but he doesn't love her anymore, she is no longer the perfect pure image in his heart. Is this wrong? In fact, it's just human nature.

But an intellectual like Angel deserves our self-examination, whether what we think is morally correct is just what we think. Including my mate selection, it is the same, not only requires external appearance, but also requires knowledge and morality, and forcibly sets a person for the other party. Once the person set is broken, it is heinous. This is actually a kind of arrogance from top to bottom without self-examination. So sometimes a very serious double standard is formed.

Tess is stubborn and stubborn. She is not a woman who is trapped in material things and surrendered to men. She longs for spiritual independence. So she left the rich man with her illegitimate child. The local rich owner later learned about the illegitimate child and the tragic experience of the subsequent Tess, and wanted to be responsible for her. Of course, as an independent woman of that era, Tess fought for a long time. But in the end, she couldn't bear the pain of life, so she chose to live under his wings and claws. For Angel, she loved him and was afraid of losing him, but in pursuit of spiritual purity, and after learning that Angel had a similar fault, she finally told him.

In fact, Tess looks like every girl. They expect a person she loves to love her and cherish her, not only because of her beauty, but also because of her body. They have self-esteem and dare to take responsibility for themselves, face the hardships of life, and do not succumb to money. But in the end, Tess was forced to stay with the local tyrant for the sake of life, and the negative emotions that had been accumulating prompted her to kill him and start running for life with Angel. You don't know which choices she made, which led to the change of fate, and the choice is a must-answer question that everyone can't avoid, so how do we know which one is the trap behind each of these choices? Choose to be independent, break away from the powerful, and bring your own children? Be honest and kind, tell your husband black history and be abandoned by others? Do you rely on others for your own and your family's life? Rebelling against one's own destiny and killing people at every turn?

    The first of 2019. The 3-hour movie is still too short compared to the original, so the plot has to be simplified, and a lot of inner dramas, which are good at writing, are also discarded. However, although Hardy's sympathy for Tess is difficult to reproduce on the big screen in words, the director successfully visualized the poetic landscape description of the original work and controlled the rhythm of the progress of the story delicately, making the film full of compassion from the first minute Emotions. I said that I don't like "The Thief Family" because the characters can't make me feel awe or sympathy. Some netizens say that I am low and that my emotions are simple. However, these two emotions are one of the great traditions of literature and music in the romantic period, creating an insurmountable peak in the history of art development, which may be the era when art is closest to universal values.

    Tess, who was driven to desperation by the vanity of her parents, the lust of Alec, and the love of Angie, is a true angel; a good girl always meets a bad man, and a better girl meets a bad man. True evil.
