Questions about purity

This is a film adapted from the French epistolary novel. I remember that when I read the book at that time, the title page of the book wrote a brief introduction and commentary about the book, saying that the story told in the book revealed the eve of the outbreak of the French Revolution. The debauched and corrupt lives of those old aristocrats. The film adaptation certainly won't talk about it again.
It was aimed at Michelle and Malkovich, but it turned out that Uma Thurman and Keanu Reeves, who looked a little immature, played the two seduced young men and women in the book. It turns out that Uma was indeed a beauty once, because I really can't see what is charming about her now. This may be the woman Ethan Hawke loved back then.
It's a story about romance, but it's also about love.
Love is an ability for a person, not everyone can devote themselves to love.
The story doesn't have to be true, as long as you believe it.
When Markovic dropped the sword on purpose, and when Keanu charged at him, he stabbed the sword hard into his own body, I couldn't help but wonder, what exactly is purity? This man is undoubtedly despicable, but why can he pay for everything with death? He said his plea, hoping she would forgive me for not being able to explain why I left you, when I want to tell you that your love is the only happiness I have ever had. How should we feel? Does the director want the audience to silently shed tears of sympathy and sentimentality in the dark theater at this time? It seems that we have really witnessed and heard with our own eyes and ears the solemn expression and expression of a man with deep guilt who bears sin and is willing to use his life to atone for his sins and use his hot red blood to wash away the mistakes he put down on his lover. tears and a final confession. (The director also used the white snow to set off this bright red blood!) So you can't help but be beaten, at least at this time, with the flashback during his duel, and the fact that he had to forcefully break up earlier, And he has repeatedly emphasized that because all that is in his grasp, you will believe that this man has paid his pure love.

Dangerous Liaisons quotes

  • Marquise de Merteuil: When I came out into society, I was fifteen. I already knew that the role I was condemned to, namely to keep quiet and do what I was told, gave me the perfect opportunity to listen and observe. Not to what people told me, which naturally was of no interest, but to whatever it was they were trying to hide. I practiced detachment. I learned how to look cheerful while, under the table, I stuck a fork into the back of my hand. I became a virtuoso of deceit. It wasn't pleasure I was after, it was knowledge. I consulted the strictest moralists to learn how to appear, philosophers to find out what to think, and novelists to see what I could get away with. And in the end, I distilled everything to one wonderfully simple principle: win or die.

  • Vicomte de Valmont: I ended by falling on my knees and pledging her eternal love. And do you know that, at that time, and for several hours afterwards, I actually meant it.
