I always feel that the name of the movie "Butterfly Dream" is very beautifully translated. Compared with the original "Mandoli Manor", it has a more romantic and poignant color. Why does this foreign film have such a romantic name full of Chinese classical culture? In the movie, the manor hostess Rebecca, who was regarded as the perfect embodiment, never appeared in the movie, and everything she said was through the mouths of others. A perfect lady, a perfect life. What kind of person is she?
Some people say that the reason why the film was translated as "Butterfly Dream" is because in the book Beatrice once said to "me": "You are not like Rebecca, she is a social butterfly", the butterfly refers to It is Rebecca, and the story about the strange woman Rebecca is a butterfly dream.
The gloomy and arrogant housekeeper is always the perfect contrast to the ordinary and weak heroine of the former heroine Rebecca, giving the heroine a strong shadow and pressure. She is so perfect, can you match it? The poor heroine nearly had a nervous breakdown under the oppression of the vicious housekeeper.
It was not until the mystery was revealed that Rebecca, the former hostess of Mandoli Manor, that the legend of the so-called perfect incarnation was just an illusory shadow used to oppress the hero and heroine. The hero once fell into a marriage of wealth and vanity. To this end, they sold their souls. In the fire that destroyed the manor by the vicious housekeeper, the hero and heroine can finally get rid of the shadows of Mandoli Manor and Rebecca, and save each other with the love of a man and a woman, and no longer need to be worldly. Live by comparison of rank and identity. After all, perfection is an illusion, and the real life of the host and hostess is the happiness they want.
This mysterious and unpredictable image of Rebecca tells us that to understand a person from the surface, one thing is often unreliable. About perfection, about happiness is not as simple as people see it on the surface, just as beautiful and luxurious on the surface. The Mandali Manor, the beautiful and noble hostess, the handsome man, is not as perfect and happy as people seem. Perfection and happiness are just people's conjectures, an illusory imagination, perfect people and life do not exist.
Mysterious Rebecca, ornate Mandori Manor is a metaphor, a symbol, including the arrogant and insidious housekeeper. The bright surface is a kind of decoration, but Rebecca's gorgeous and noble appearance is an unfortunate woman. Mandolin Manor is a symbol of social class rules, majestic, but it carries the nightmare of the male protagonist's unfortunate marriage. It made him breathless. They are a lingering shadow in the lives of the hero and heroine, oppressing them from happiness and freedom. The hated housekeeper burns down the Mandali Manor, but frees the hero and heroine. This fantasy about money, wealth and happiness is just a dream, a beautiful butterfly dream.
Going from Cinderella to a lady is the dream of many ordinary girls. Wealth, status, these seemingly gorgeous decorations are the root of people's pain and restraint in reality. The pursuit of happiness is like a butterfly dream. The gorgeous form is still to find the true self, like a butterfly, to break away from the mundane realm and return to the true nature of freedom. Things that look beautiful are often just a dream after waking up. In addition to admiring the profound classical cultural heritage of the translator of the novel, it also shows that everything in the world, minus the national cultural differences, has similarities in the final emotions.
Only when you understand the essence of love, will you not be deceived by the utilitarian appearance of marriage. It will not be knocked down by the world's eyes. The reality is strong, but only those who are in love can have hope of surviving, just like the hero and heroine in the film.
"Zhuang Shengxiao dreamed of butterflies, and Wang Di's spring heart supported the cuckoo", Butterfly Dream, a dream about life and happiness, how many people are immersed in it, when they wake up, they don't know where they are, the butterfly comes and wakes up from a big dream, dreaming of a butterfly Fly freely.
