A fallen woman

Tess fell for the first time, resenting fate. Fallen for the second time, blame yourself. I wondered, would a woman like Tess die without a man? What's forced by life is all excuses. Isn't it good for me to be a milkmaid before? It's not that my family doesn't have hands to work to earn money. Why do you have to commit yourself to the thief? To put it bluntly, you still accept to betray your flesh for money. It was found that she was as good as the village girl except for her pretty face and naivety (speaking nicely is pure), and she was angry.

    Girls who are given poverty and beauty at the same time by God are almost the embryos of tragedy.

    Like a dense fog that has drifted away many times, everything is nothingness. Polanski's first feature film after his return to Europe, adapted from Thomas Hardy's novel "Tess of the D'Urbervilles", except for the tragic color that Old Bo has always had, this is actually very unlike Polanski. Kinski, who is under 20 years old, is so beautiful. The scene of being fed strawberries reminds me of the 62nd version of "Lolita". The encounters of the little people in the big era are almost destined to be victims forever. The courage to urge them to turn into the perpetrators, and finally question the injustice of fate. Who will explain it to us? I thought that the name of an angel was salvation and restart, but it was just the beginning of the next tragic cycle. The rich scene changes of light and shadow colors show the intersection of tangle and joy before revealing the truth, paving the way for the collapse of love beliefs at the last moment of the wedding night, and using the camera to separate the two worlds early. It almost made the epic of little people, but the look and feel were still a little worse (especially the second half). The deletion of the original work is handled with ease, the scenery and soundtrack are so classical, and I still admire Polanski. At the end, the rising sun of Stonehenge is the same as the last shot of "Chinatown".
