Movies and TV novels and the like, if you read too much of these illusions, you will have some vicissitudes of emotion for no reason. I think I can see through the happiness of the world, and I know that I have made this common problem.
Since I think I have traversed life, in my eyes, a good story is not allowed to abuse the readers' judgment. Once the viewers guess the direction of the story, they will involuntarily despise the intellectual level of the author (human nature~~It's really hard to make up stories these days...). As the director of a story, the first task is to play the person listening to the story in the palm of your hand, so that when you want to laugh, you can laugh, and when you want to cry, you must have tears. Unfortunately, in my eyes, some editors don't seem to understand this relationship clearly. Those who play tricks are played by others. They must not be happy to be guessed by the audience and only sneer. Who is a fool these days?
For me, an audience who has gradually become arrogant, give me a movie, as long as its plot is rigorous enough and the story is logical enough, I will be able to spy on its intention and story direction before it uncovers the mystery, the suspense is only Existing "when" - through my own eyes, the hints given in the story are not enough, but too much and too obvious. After reading a lot of such stories, I found that my happiness was only based on the secret happiness of Kaka clocks and confirming the conjecture step by step when I guessed the story, and the sudden realization at the moment when no mystery was revealed. You see, there should also be such a movie, come and give me a blow.
When I first saw Vanity Fair, I saw Reese Witherspoon's sharp eyes. I haven't really read the original Thackeray, but who wouldn't be interested in the story of a smart woman's ambitious ascent?
I have never been afraid to speculate on such a character with the worst malice--the story of climbing up is nothing more than a lowly origin, unscrupulous means, revenge by selfishness, playing with feelings, enjoying the glory, climbing high and falling heavy and other necessary plots, etc. Necessary characters such as unbearable parents, too kind-hearted friends, wretched initial suitors, handsome lovers, honest cuckold husbands - I guessed these, but the development of the story surprised me a number of times, also Much beyond my expectations.
Let's start from the beginning. Becky, the poor painter's daughter, stops at her friend Amelia's house on her way to her governess, and she meets Josh "the lewd suitor" and Amelia's fiancé Geroge (I thought he would play "Handsome"). The role of "Secret Lover", I guessed it wrong, unexpectedly for the first time), Geroge, who also takes fame and fortune as his mission, saw through Becky's trick to seduce Josh, Josh went to India without courting Becky, and Becky took Angrily, he went to Sir Pitt's house to take up his post. As they left, she and Amelia hugged and said goodbye. (My narration: When I saw Becky's ambitious eyes when hugging, I was looking forward to seeing the moment when she broke up with her friend because of Geroge because of fame and fortune. After reading it, I knew that I guessed wrong again, unexpectedly the second time)
Sir Pitt's family is far from what Becky expected, and the silly-looking eldest son, Mr. Pitt, is always entangled with her, but the hope that makes Becky persevere is the most promising heir, Rawton, who is about to return with the rich Aunt. . Under Becky's painstaking management, she was able to accompany the old woman back to London, and successfully made Rawton fall in love. Just when she was looking forward to this new relationship, Sir Pitt's scum died, and the old man came to her out of breath to propose to her. Becky couldn't be honest about his relationship with Rawton, and the family was outraged. Becky was able to marry Rawton but Rawton had basically lost all hope of succession (I really didn't expect a playboy-looking Rawton to marry Becky, I was watching the man's hesitation when Becky said he was going to threaten pregnancy in bed For a moment, I thought that Becky was about to be blown away by PIA, unexpectedly for the third time).
At the same time, Geroge's businessman father ruined his colleague Amelia's father, and carefully arranged the rich lady to give Geroge a blind date, while Amelia, who fell into the poor situation, was still waiting for Geroge to marry. Geroge burned the letter of Amelia passed to him by his friend Dobbin, just when I was expecting his high-climbing journey to start, this man fell out with his father and quickly married Amelia, a surprise, unexpected fourth time .
The war has begun, and both Rawton and Geroge, who are officers, are going to join the army. Amelia wasn't feeling well at the dance, but Geroge danced with Becky and secretly handed a note. Before Rawton left, he arranged everything for Becky, who was pregnant, in case he himself was unexpectedly on the battlefield, and the two revealed their true feelings (I thought that the marriage of a woman like Becky was just a show, but it turned out to be true love, and the glasses fell again. ,the fifth time). Becky was about to flee from the front when he saw the displaced Amelia, and even gave up the only seat on the carriage to stay with Amelia (I didn't expect it to be a real friendship, I was wrong again, the sixth time).
The two finally kept the clouds open to see the moon, and the war ended. (The long shot of the battlefield was pulled up at this time. I thought I would see Rawton's face killed in action, but I didn't expect that it was Geroge who died. He fainted. This person has no chance of cuckolding Becky's husband, the seventh time). Although the Becky family has a good relationship, the legacy of the old Aunt and the old man was given to the silly brother, leaving nothing for Rawton. Their lives are in trouble again. At this time, the rich Earl who admired Becky's father's paintings and had been meeting Becky all the time appeared. After a series of suggestions and financial assistance from him, Becky made a name for himself in the upper class, but gradually alienated his relationship with Rawton. Finally, when the Earl wanted to possess Becky, he was caught by Rawton, who had been imprisoned for being framed by the Earl (Becky heard that Rawton could not bear it when he was imprisoned, and was not willing to submit to the Earl. I didn't expect this person to have a conscience. This is the eighth time. ), a furious Rawton fights, Becky's relationship with the Earl is completely over, and Rawton himself is sent to the Far East to die of an infectious disease.
Twelve years later, the camera turns to Becky's laughing at a German hotel (so smart but degenerate, a little bit unexpected, half a time). By chance, he meets Amelia, who is admitted that her life is no longer difficult because of her posthumous child. At this time, Dobbin, who has always loved Amelia deeply, has been with her for many years. Dobbin was disheartened because of Amelia's repeated rejections, but Becky reminded Amelia that Dobbin was actually the person worthy of love, and told her all the good things Dobbin had done for Amelia and showed her the little note that Geroge had given him. , the above content actually made Becky run away with him, and Amelia finally fell in love (the part that surprised me the most, Dobbin, whom Becky highly praised, was disdainful of her, and in such a situation, he could actually face the old man with sincerity, and he was full of love. Man, this is not like what a careerist should do! The ninth time is unexpected). Becky is really not a simple person. He was brilliant in the past, and now he is calm and relaxed when he is smiling. God favored her, and even turned the "wretched suitor" Josh into an infatuated man, and took her to India heroically. Before leaving, Becky smiled charmingly and said the same words as at the beginning: I always love to go to new places... The dust settled, the ambitious girl even earned a good belonging, and unexpectedly finally returned.
There were ten and a half times! It's a movie like this that really gave me enough emotional ups and downs -- and in fact, from my initial assumptions about Becky's character -- the selfish, cunning, and insidious, money-loving girl. In fact, this character is out of the way of love and hate, has a conscience, and the most glorious thing is that she is a good and leisurely safety in any environment (when sitting in a carriage without a carriage in the heavy rain, when she is swept out by an old maiden , when I saw my old friend when I was laughing...). When my self-proclaimed "wise" judgment fails, it may be the time when I can really listen to the story. I couldn't help but sigh, my assumption was wrong, why should a woman who is "smarter than others" struggle at the bottom of society, why can't she win a position that matches her intelligence by means, and why? The story of dealing with Vanity Fair must be the history of the depravity of a femme fatale?
Life is like this, so is fame and fortune. We are all living beings who are dealing with fame and fortune. Let’s just play, why bother to be burdened by fame and fortune, who is playing with whom? Might as well revisit this set of "Little Crimson Lips" by Sister Xiangyun.
"The separation of creeks and ravines, the game of red dust, what's the fun? Fame and fortune are still empty, and it will be difficult to continue in the end."
