Some directors are master storytellers, and the plots are fascinating, and some directors are born poets. Although there are no big plots, the details are amazing. This film is an impressionistic poem with flowing consciousness.
As a female film, Tom Hiddleston's male character Freddie in the film is not actually the protagonist. All perspectives in this film are based on the feelings of the heroine Hester played by Rachel Weisz. It can be said that we as the audience followed Hester's perspective and experienced her private emotional life with her. (Let's just mess around here, all the beauties who have slept with British actor Ralph Fiennes (the English patient protagonist) in the movie are by default a super beauty, and Rachel Weisz happens to be such a super beauty.) The
whole movie is Describe what happened in the 24 hours after she broke up with her lover. For students who can't figure out the relationship between clips and clips, you can grasp the main point that the whole story is very simple, that is, the heroine committed suicide in the morning and was rescued. , when her real husband came to see her in the evening, the male protagonist went home and broke up with her, stayed one night and went to South America early the next morning, and the story ended. All other episodes in the middle are the memories and feelings of the heroine.
At the beginning of the film, in the early morning of London, a woman, we later know that she is the heroine Hester, is calmly cleaning up the room. She seems to have no intention of going out, but makes up the bed, turns on the gas, and lies down quietly again. It was then that the audience realized that she was going to commit suicide.
This is a long shot, accompanied by the wonderful music and erratic light, the audience will usher in the first breath-taking cut in the film, ushering in the climax of beauty, the camera rotates above the bed, showing the female The protagonist, Hester, has curvy, bare legs.
While the audience is immersed in the aesthetic climax of Rachel's beautiful legs, the camera has been rotating, slowly showing another time and space in the same venue. The perfect seamless connection shows the heroine Hester recalling the good times of herself and her lover Freddie before her death. That's when we see Tom Hiddleston fully nude and Rachel Weisz intertwined like a Greek sculpture. In reality, the heroine committed suicide in despair, but in her memories it was a good time in the same bed. At this time, the audience can feel the inner world of the heroine's despair and sadness. Can't help but wonder why a beautiful woman fell into this field.
At this point the film skips again. Still Hester, sitting quietly indoors, this room is obviously much more beautiful and upscale than the one where she committed suicide. So far, the film has been going on for about ten minutes, and there is no dialogue. it is more than words. The lighting in the whole film is extremely beautiful and elegant. The beauty smiles at the audience in the fog, and then when the camera turns, we find that she is smiling at an old man. The man also smiled in return, and then he lowered his head and read a book. Don't say a word. When the camera turned back again, the beauty's laughter froze, and her beautiful affection did not receive a warm return. She looked away dully.
At this time, Hester's flowing consciousness once again brought us into another time and space scene. A tall and handsome man, (the hero Freddie) stood in a beautiful garden and smiled at the audience. When the camera turned, it turned out that he was facing us. Beauty Hester winked. Hester smiled, she was still as beautiful, the only biggest difference from the previous scene was that her smile didn't freeze, but she lowered her head shyly.
Then we saw this handsome guy running to Hester's reclining chair, holding her hand, and saying, I really really truly think you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Totally agree that you are the most beautiful girl I have ever met.)
Under such a strong sensory contrast, the audience should also feel the fatal attraction of the handsome Freddie to Hester at this time. These two sensory clips are the subjective feelings of the heroine Hester. The director directly presents her inner feelings in a first-person way through detailed descriptions. The audience has first-hand feelings, and I believe they will be like the heroine. , fell in love with the male protagonist in a second.
This seemingly chaotic, in fact, carefully arranged time and space jump, but the details presented in the fragment are worth pondering carefully. Various details in the film also imply that the male and female protagonists are people from two worlds. I haven't read anything about this movie before this, it's actually a remake, the original was filmed in the 50's, starring the beautiful Vivien Leigh,
I felt something was wrong at the beginning of this movie, in Under the misleading personal temperament of Tom Hiddleston, Eton, and Cambridge talent, I mistakenly thought that the male protagonist was also a libertine from the same background as the female protagonist. Different, in fact they are two classes of people. Now I understand it.
First of all, from the first three paragraphs, we can easily infer that the heroine came from a better family background and was married to an old man with a relatively high social status. Later, with the hero, her quality of life declined. This is from her It can be seen from her dress and interior furnishings that she is involved with the male protagonist regardless of her class status.
So who is this man? The director explained slowly and calmly. There is a scene where the heroine is having dinner with her dull husband and mother-in-law, and they are discussing sports.
My mother-in-law asked her What do you play? (What do you usually play?) The heroine said that she just played cards, which attracted merciless laughter from my mother-in-law. Cards are not a sport. Maybe we can feel that sports are also hierarchical. The mother-in-law believes that only high-class sports can be put on the table. She likes to play tennis herself, and her son, the heroine's husband, plays golf. These are the so-called high society movements. At this time, the heroine couldn't help but have a seizure. She said, Sport is the most useless ridiculous absurd exercise of human kind. She was an outlier in her own world, and she did not agree with the mainstream values held by people in her class at the time.
Then the director started to play tricks. . . . . . One of the small details is very interesting. In the episode of eating together, the heroine asked the mother-in-law if you still go to watch tennis. She said that she would not go after her husband died, which was boring. Then at the end of the film, the heroine asked to visit her husband, do you still play golf. Husband said, not much fight. . . . . Then silence.
I believe that at this time the audience will suddenly realize that the male protagonist is the golf friend of the female protagonist's husband. . So the heroine's husband stopped playing golf after his wife was kidnapped by a golfer. And at the end of the film, the hero's last good intention to leave the heroine is that you can sell my golf equipment and pay the rent! Seeing this and contacting these details makes people feel embarrassed and applaud for the director's careful arrangement.
Sports may be a shortcut to enter the upper class, and the truth is also shown in other films. For example, in the Matching Point directed by Woody Allen, the male protagonist enters the upper class by playing tennis, while in the genius Ripley, one-hearted Matt Damon, who wants to squeeze into the upper class, has no sports cells, so he can only sing and play the piano. Jude Law still looks down on him, cups.
As a retired pilot, it is normal to have no artistic skills, but the heroine Hester is the one who compares the cups. There is a fragment of her recollection that she asked the hero to accompany him to the museum to see cubist paintings. As the cubism of modern avant-garde art, it doesn't matter if a soldier doesn't appreciate it, but the male protagonist is still very sensitive to the class difference between them subconsciously. He said carefully, it was a joke, meaning I wasn't that stupid, I was telling a joke, why don't you laugh. The heroine says you are too childish, and the hero gets furious and yells in public. .
Yes, you are the cultured one. If not we risk
our life to protect the cultured ones like you, you wont be here being culture.
If you are literate, how can you stand here and pretend to be forceful.)
The heroine said, yes, you are brave, no one will deny it, but we have to look forward, which is another taboo for the male protagonist. He is a person who cannot look forward while living in war. Nothing else can make him feel his worth like war. There is a dialogue between the heroine's husband and the heroine. The heroine said that the hero envy her husband's work, not because of money or social status, but a job that can live in the moment. That's probably what it means. So the male protagonist scolded and walked away in the art gallery.
These details let us understand that the love between them is unequal, the differences between them are irreconcilable, and the male protagonist and the female protagonist cannot be called soulmates. So what is between them?
All kinds of people gave their own understanding. When the husband of the heroine of the episode came to visit her, he discussed this issue with her.
Husband: It is a tragedy. This is a tragedy.
Hostess: No, just sadness. No, just sadness.
Husband: When did you realize that? When did you realize that?
Hostess: From the beginning. I knew it from the beginning.
Husband: Why you love a man who can give you nothing. Why do you love a man who can give you nothing?
Hostess: He gave me himself. He gave himself to me.
The heroine's husband was puzzled. A man with no money and no status, apart from being more handsome than himself, apart from sex, what exactly did she like about him, he also asked her many times if it was sex, and she denied it. In fact, the heroine revealed their relationship in a conversation with her husband. She and her husband said that their problem is: You know as one of those kinds I brought up to believe it is usually the man who is the one do the loving part (You know the way I was raised I usually think of men as the one who gives love.) That is to say, in her world, men are usually the ones who tolerate and tolerate, and women are the ones who do what they want and are loved.
The fatal attraction of the hero Freddie to her lies in the smart vitality and sunshine he exudes at any time. Compared with her husband, he is like the Christmas tree in Christmas. In contrast, everyone around him Everything seemed bleak and uninteresting.
In reflecting on the heroine’s post-marital life, there is another episode of drinking tea with her mother-in-law in the living room. Tea drinking is undoubtedly a very gentleman and lady’s activity, but it makes the heroine sit on pins and needles. Her mother-in-law has various hobbies and claims that she have a passion for gardening, have a passion for cakes.” (Passion for gardening, passion for cakes) My mother-in-law seems to have a passion for everything, except for life.
This kind of high-class life that is about to suffocate makes the heroine decisively leave and go upstairs to call her lover. She has not concealed it, and openly calls her lover in the bedroom. She doesn't care whether her husband knows about it or not. a handful.
In the end, things were as she expected, the main man left, and her doomed relationship was finally coming to an end. She took his gloves and cried a lot, then stood in front of the window and opened the curtains. If the audience is careful, they will remember that when the male protagonist entered the room together for the first time, the male protagonist was also standing in front of the same window. With a hopeful slam, the curtains were pulled open. The continuous overlapping of various scenes makes people immersed in this poem for a long time.
I have to say that the acting skills of the two leading actors are very strong. The heroine played by Rachel Weisz is elegant, beautiful and brave. She fell in love with a man who knew from the beginning that it was a cup and could not give her too much love despite the strong social pressure. And Tom's personal temperament adds another layer of emotion to the actor, a sensitive, affectionate, lively, and lovable character emerges.
Another: The version I saw had many subtitle errors. For example, the heroine's husband asked the heroine, if she had a child, would it help?
Husband: If you have a child, will it make any difference? If you have a child, will it make any difference
?
Hostess: To whom? To whom
(is it different)?
The subtitles were translated as, Whose children?
Here the preposition to means to be different to whom? If you are carrying a child, you should use the preposition of, not to. This is simply too far away, the heroine means that I just have a child, which is no different to anyone, because I know that the relationship between us is impossible to change. She knew from the beginning that she was the one who gave love, and it was destined to be a sad story. The subtitles turn this plot into a Korean drama at eight o'clock. Whose child am I going to conceive? = =
Such a mistake is understandable if it is a literal translation, but it is too careless if it is a literal translation. I hope everyone will pay attention to listening to the original sound. Sometimes subtitle errors seriously affect our viewing experience.
The lines in this article are written according to my own memory, which cannot be guaranteed to be accurate. I should have checked the lines, but I was too lazy to check them.
This may be the longest movie review I've ever written, so if you've read this far, for the sake of writing so much, you might as well leave a comment and talk about it. :)
