Tess's tragedy stems from the family, the society's injustice to women, regards it as a commodity for profit, a tool to marry at will to obtain a body, and if she finds that she has lost her so-called chastity, she will forget her own prostitutes. instead, condemning its moral hypocrisy. Of course, there are contradictions in its own character. She is independent and has her own mind, but she is still subject to family swings (if she finally retracts the letter and tells Angel after marriage). Her life was bumpy and painful, and in the end she could only beg for death to heal her miserable life. So at the end she said "I'm ready". The withering of young life always makes people unavoidable sadness.

    2012-06-29 In an era when the original morality is challenged by capital, it is realistic to arrange a pure and short reunion. The film has the simplicity and beauty of 1979.

    #filmlighting#Light processing of fog scenes. The fog in the day scene is generally not illuminated by artificial light, and backlighting is often used when shooting to increase the spatial depth of the fog. The longer the focal length of the lens, the denser the fog, and the shorter the lens, the lighter the fog. Fog at night should be illuminated artificially, and should be illuminated with high-intensity, long-distance, parallel light.
