I read it twice. The first time was at night. I saw that half of the mood was already rippling, and I couldn't calm down for a long time. Decided to stop for a while, m chewing, and look at it in the future.
When I saw it before, I had a feeling that this film was worth it. After thinking about it after reading it, I couldn't help but read the original
The movie has a high degree of restoration of the original. The costumes and scenes are perfect.
Reproduction of characters. Blaney's literary and artistic, the pursuit of literature, proud and innocent heart; Cecilia's desire for freedom, uninhibited willfulness; Robbie's strong self-esteem, love for Cecilia's passion, tenacity and fortitude. Quality; Lola's scratching, Paul's flirtatious...
The original scene of the screen is reproduced. Almost every frame in the movie is wallpaper level. After watching the movie, I was deeply impressed by the beautiful and secluded gardens and fountains, the beautiful picture of Cecilia jumping into the pool, the perverted and bizarre sex positions, and the dark and withdrawn heart that Blaney showed in his monologue, Cecily Ya whispering "come back to me" affectionately, and her kissing the envelope and throwing it into the mailbox, and the grand and tragic footage of the war...
Filmmaking techniques and ideas
The ingenious combination of light and shadow, the composition is just right and not deliberate. The choice of light and shadow and the composition of many pictures gave me great visual enjoyment (I have the opportunity to take a look at it again and take a screenshot)
Interspersed with non-linear narratives. Memory and imagination are combined, the past is combined with the present, and the narrator's perspective is combined with that of the beholder. Multiple narrative lines go hand in hand. From beginning to end, Blaney is a storyteller, and her telling serves as the undercurrent of the story. One of the two lines at the beginning is normal life, and the other is narrated through Blaney's eyes. Blaney's clue is told faster than reality, which may imply that she is biased and preconceived. And the scenes from her eyes are one-sided, taken out of context and even terrifying. The two poolside and library scenes are intentionally erotic and horrific when seen by Blaney, and the truth is revealed to the audience later.
After Robbie is separated from Cecilia, the narrative thread becomes Robbie's point of view, Cecilia's point of view, and Blaney's point of view. Among them, Robbie's perspective has three branches, the reality of the war, his memories and his hallucinations; the part that Cecilia appears is not entirely her own perspective. Only a small part of it is reality: she sends letters to Robbie, who works in the hospital; and every time she sees Robbie it's a Blaney fantasy, first at the hospital, second at home—no Need to wait until the end of the credits to reveal the truth, because Robbie can already see that he is in a bad state during the war, and even implies that he is about to die.
movie lines
The story never end, although my first instinct was a song, and then I thought about it and thought that this line implied that this movie is a story written by Blaney, although they did not meet again in reality, but their beauty Love continues forever in Blaney's pen, without end.
Come back to me. The first reaction is also a lyric, but in fact this is what Cecilia said repeatedly, the first time was when Robbie was arrested, the second time was in Blaney's imagination The two met in the hospital, had breakfast together, and the third time they were sending letters. This sentence was not only Cecilia's greatest wish, but also implied that Robbie never came back.
The story can resume. I will return. Find you, love you, marry you and live without shame. Robbie said this many times, which is also a way to reproduce Robbie's deep shame and love for Cecilia in the original book Way. The movie can't describe his mood as well as the original, and it can't intuitively let readers experience Blaney's deep sin, so this line is here to strengthen feelings and deepen the theme (the theme will be discussed in detail below) of.
......
A deeply shocking theme.
The sins to be atonement, in addition to the mistakes made by Blaney temporarily blinded by jealousy, fear and anger, are ignorance, war,
sex. In the eyes of children, sex is filthy, filthy and evil, and has nothing to do with love. This kind of thinking is not only because of children's own immature bodies and instinctual dislike of sex, but also because of adults' lack of education. And the responsibility to lead dictates.
ignorance. Mistakes made ignorantly by children can also become sins. Not that the ignorant are innocent. It is also a sign of ignorance that adults listen to their children's words without giving them enough knowledge.
Adult snob. Blaney's face is disgusting in the confession sequence, but I shudder even more with the eager look of an adult encouraging a child's testimony. Perhaps in those days, people were too comfortable and couldn't wait to see some scandals in society, and sexual perversion was just the thing to satisfy people's inner hunger for darkness. Moreover, Robbie has recovered the twins, and people are still indiscriminately convicting him.
War, war blocks lovers. It is mentioned in the movie that they helped France fight and were despised by the French. In fact, I don't know much about history, but I always feel that in the context of that era, the lovers Robbie and Cecilia couldn't get married.
Perhaps, each of us made small or innocuous mistakes or irreparable big mistakes when we were young and ignorant, perhaps unintentionally or maliciously, all of which would cause some damage to our young hearts, Leaves a dark or light shade. But in fact, it was these experiences that made us what we are today. The mistakes of the past have been made, and the past self remains in the past. Whether it is to make atonement or struggle, we still have to move forward with the burden of life.
