subversive adaptation

Andrea Arnold's new adaptation of "Wuthering Heights" isn't bad for an audience like me who doesn't have a particularly famous book complex. Adolescent turmoil, racial conflict, class clashes and other sensitive topics can be clearly reflected here. The director's handling of famous novels can be described as subversive. Whether it is the hand-held photography style that keeps track of the characters, or the delicate description of the natural environment, insects and animals, it can be seen that the director is quite confident in his grasp of the subject matter.


In connection with the director's two previous works, both of them focus on the female perspective and explore the subtle psychology of women facing issues such as feelings and adolescence. Contrary to the previous conventions, this film adopts a male point of view, and uses the character's subjective observation, feeling and experience throughout. with the taste.


Love is deep, hate is all, this is the last impression I saw when I saw the film.

    Heathcliff walks away in the blue room and compares [fish tank]'s Mia to practice dance. If I don’t have any impression of the original and I’m going to reread it, let’s make a complaint: I admired Andrea Arnold again in my heart when I watched the first half, and the young actors were amazing. But when it comes to the adult group, the sharp and straightforward seems to have become rough and scribble, maybe for a classical story, all this is really too avant-garde.

    If you put aside the original book and just talk about movies, this movie is very stylish. There is no soundtrack, and all the fancy performances are abandoned, and the most essential film method is restored, and the atmosphere rendering is very good. In particular, the switching between the juvenile group and the adult group was impressive. The two met again, under the pear tree, in the backlight. If there is no original book, it is a story that none of us have ever heard of, it can almost be described as excellent @dianbo
