This isn't a movie review, it's an afterthought
I personally feel that the movie is not bad, although it is based on a novel, the historical tulip bubble is real. Many, many people are destroyed, of course, in a zero-sum game, it also means that many, many people have become very rich.
There is only one place to talk about this movie. It is the novel or what the director is promoting and encouraging.
Why put love stories and tulip bubbles together? In fact, from the overall point of view of the story, the expansion of feelings and the final destruction basically synchronized the development of the tulip bubble. In the end, the tulip bubble burst, and those feelings that were not protected by morality also burst.
The more moral people in the movie have a good ending. For example, the maid and the fishmonger are really in love. Although there are twists and turns in the process, the end is happy. The good old green hat really loves his unfaithful wife. He is so eager for a child, but he still tells the doctor that if there is danger, he will protect his wife. After he knew the truth, he chose to forgive everything, and the final outcome was not bad.
Only the extramarital affair between the heroine and the painter was miserable in the end. The heroine finally bears huge moral pressure, and finally love is gone. And the painter went bankrupt after failing to speculate on tulips. In other words, the film's values are still orthodox, mainstream, and conservative.
Regarding the bursting of the tulip bubble, the movie is the same as the legendary story. A person accidentally ate one of the most expensive and top-quality tulip bulbs, causing people to suddenly calm down and the bubble burst. So the feast is over.
And the emotional bubble without true love will end sooner or later.
