"Orlando" 1992, British director: Sally Porter. The last film of her was Cate Blanchett's "The Four Seas". He is a director of stage plays, and his works are often full of the majestic atmosphere of drama and secret poetry.

At the beginning, Orlando's love-centered theory is laid: "Although she has inherited a legacy including power, land, and wealth, since the birth of Orlando, what she secretly seeks is not these, but a partner." The opening has already used this" her" nature. Opening with the Queen's hymn, the opera resembles a gorgeous oriole. As a favorite of Queen Elizabeth I, he has a good appearance and cultivation. The time segment of the film begins. 1600 (end of England's Golden Age) died. He read poems for the aging queen, who gave her a luxurious palace, saying: You don't wither, don't wither, stay young forever. The Queen dies, as does Orlando's father.

1610 (Europe in the Freezing Period) Love. She fell in love at first sight with Sasha, the daughter of the Grand Duke of Moscow. "I don't care about the future anymore, I only care about love." It is the only way for every teenager who is just beginning to love, and the only way to be happy and sad. The fiancée returned the ring in a rage and said, "Men only know betrayal" Orlando said, "It never worked, men should follow their hearts." A wanderer walked by, and Sasha asked, "Why are you so sad" (End Orlando 's daughter asked the same question, but the answer was completely different.) "I can't accept that happiness like this will end." "Orlando, I think your melancholy is absurd, as if you have to endure the pain in advance, you are too serious Now, Orlando." Suspecting Sasha's empathy with the sailor, he rushed to fight and lost. Asked Sasha to stay, but refused. "When the ice breaks, we will leave eventually." "You belong to me." "Why?" "Because I love you, at midnight we will meet at Rendun Tower Bridge, and we will fly free like birds. , wide space, fresh air." Orlando praised Othello. The promised night was raining heavily, and Sasha missed the appointment. The ice on the ground underfoot cracked open, and the language of perspective was extremely poetic. The sound of the ice cracking was clear at night, and Sasha was going home. At this time, some symmetrical compositions are neat and beautiful. "Women know betrayal." He tasted the bitter taste of his fiancée. Orlando fell into a long seven-day slumber. After waking up: "I can only use 3 words to describe women, but none of them are worth saying." (Hahaha...)

1650 Poems. Shakespeare's sonnets open up young people's love for the art of poetry. But love is love, "I can feel a rose leaf under the thick sheets." "Young people are only interested in selling garbage, English poetry has died out." Poet Green is still paying the 300 pounds annual rent in quarters Worried about rent, Orlando asked him to give his opinion on the work "The Death of a Lover". Behind him, he said to the boatman, "Just do what he does, this arty nobleman." Greene was extremely sarcastic: "Even if you are rich, you have nothing to do with happiness." "Even if you frown, you can only face the dry nib." this old guy.

1700 Politics. One hundred years have passed, and Orlando's youth is still going its own way. His special history as king of the British Empire, the history of Arabia. Sing to wine in the desert sun, Emma. "Respect for the beauty of women and the joy of love." Orlando's pain point, "You are here as a victim of love, my friend." Such friendship." Orlando's embarrassed expression on the boy's expression "respects all the virtues, loyalty, and courage of men." Poor Orlando, is this a street that wants to follow the footsteps of poetry and go to politics? After ten years as an ambassador, he was promoted to the title again. Once again fell into a long seven-day slumber. Waking up Orlando turned into a woman, naked and beautiful. "The same person, but the gender has changed." The attitude of accepting with joy, the watershed of gender, also makes this joy more certain. It seems that she is about to draw a clear line with the beautiful young man before. Back home, put on a beautiful woman's dress.

1750 Social (British Classicism period). The so-called elite intellectuals of high society boast that "having a little knowledge is dangerous." "Most women have no personality of their own." In social situations, men criticize women for nothing. "What if a woman has neither a father nor a husband?" Orlando asked, puzzled and nervous. The hateful man gave Orlando a tailor-made answer, "It doesn't matter how beautiful and charming she is, my lady, she has lost herself." Because of the gender change, Orlando had the problem of property ownership, when the Duke asked her to Proposal, the words he said matched the logic he said when he pursued Sasha, she finally felt the power of reincarnation, and this power was wrapped in a deep suffocation. Running wildly with her skirt up on the renovated green ground, through the seasons and sunshine, and in the green labyrinth, she silently read her heart: "Naturally, naturally, I am your bride, take me away." Finally fell on the grass, with a passionate piano background.

1850 Sex. Note that this is after love, love is 1610, and love is the loss of a man's careful and small belly. A man fell immediately, "Will you marry me?" Orlando asked. In the sex section, she opened up and relaxed a lot. "I'm honored ma'am, but my ankle seems to be twisted." They were racing on horseback, and she asked Benming what the train was, and he said, "Future." The man's name was Chamerdine. "Follow me to America, when the sea breeze blows southwest." Same as Sasha's "When the ice breaks, we'll leave." "Like the bright shadow of that immortal dream, moving slowly when the storm slept. The dark stream that symbolizes life sparkles -- Shelley's "Islamic Rebellion" is beautifully lit in this verse, "Tylda" everywhere effect. This man of absolute freedom inspired Orlando to say, "If I were a woman, I wouldn't want to trap myself in the virtues of women, I'd rather leave my hometown and travel across the ocean to become—" "A real woman ?" Orlando was enlightened, and the love was born: "I feel a little dizzy, I have never felt so good." It is from such a love that this love represents the true respect and understanding of women from a male perspective. Orlando's sense of self from loss to gain. She often muttered in front of the mirror, said her inner reading, and enjoyed sex as a woman. It has been more than 200 years from a handsome boy to a woman.

At this time, Tilda was beautiful, deserted, full of quiet, gentle, unknown texture and strength. Skin is better than snow. The director fully explored and shaped Tilda's female beauty, physical and spiritual progress, and the soundtrack praised. Court leaflet arrives, without a son she will lose everything Orlando is at least mature in love. She did not follow Chamerdine's wild American freedom and remained on her estate. Shamerdine is gone, for the sake of a free future, he doesn't want to limit himself to love. Orlando's love failed again, however, she was pregnant. "In the first sweet sleep of the night, I got up from the dream of you and went down to the ground. The night wind was blowing gently, and the brilliant stars were shining. - Shelley "Indian Serenade" "Goodbye, Shamerdine, and good luck."

Finally, rebirth. Back to square one, writing from the heart, and getting recognition. The final business fulcrum. The unisex Tilda is beautiful. The editor requested revisions, increased love story development, and a happy ending. You look at it for many years and it still looks like this, great reunion. "Also, how long did it take you to write it?" the editor asked, smiling at the camera again.

She rode a tipping motorcycle and brought her daughter to her own manor, which had been lost for a century, and it has become a holy place to visit. She was fortunate enough to witness the changes of history. Maintaining her innate beauty, slender and slender body, "and the neutral appearance that women are striving for today, as well as her self-cultivation. She has lived for four hundred years, but she has not grown old at all, and because in the Because of the UK, people pretended not to notice a thing. But she changed a little, she was no longer in the shackles of fate, she left the past behind, and then she got a new life."

Tranquility, certainty, motherhood, beauty. Isn't this a rough and upward spiraling growth history of women? She sat quietly under the tree, smiling and weeping, and the child asked, "Why are you so sad." She said, "I don't, I feel very happy, look above."

Song into: "I'm here, I'm here! I'm here in the end, neither a woman nor a man, you and I will never be separated. I'm on earth, I'm in the sky, I'm blooming. I'm dying. "

End.

The note seems like a chaotic reappearance, but the poetic quality of the film itself is so captivating that I can't bear to let my eyes go. After reading the whole story, you will see the epitome of European politics, history, and art at that time, the changes in women's family, social status, and life perspectives from this British film, which was filmed 27 years ago. Times are very feminine, advanced and progressive. In the small part, you can compare and experience the experiences around you and your own life. You can calm down or smile knowingly at some moments. It is also down-to-earth. There is a silent sense of religion.

Cameras, costumes, makeup, scenes, and music don't seem out of date now. This is also the quality of a film that has stood up over time.

    jump in and out the garden and desert you've passed .. but woolf's game is definite to slide in but unable to get out ..

    @小西天. A person may have thousands of selves. The body is trapped in a specific period of time and destined sexual characteristics, but the mind can travel through different years and genders. If this is not the case, how can it be considered that he has seen a vast world and lived a complete person. Woolf's Orlando, named after Ariosto's epic, the Orlando of herself, Vita and the lives of thousands of women, is aptly interpreted here by Tilda Swinton. Roaring "old maid" and running into the bush maze, the scene of running from the 18th century to the misty Victorian moors, is too burning. "Of course, of course, I am your bride. Please take me away!"

Orlando quotes

  • Orlando: Ah, see the virgin rose, How sweetly she doth first peep forth, With bashful modesty. That fair her seems the less ye see her may, Lo see soon after how - more bold and free her bared bosom she doth broad display.

  • Earl of Moray: Don't you see in courting a Cossack, you're humiliating not only your fiancée, but the entire female population of this country.
