In the film, Meryl Streep excellently grasped the inner feelings of the characters, and his wonderful acting skills won the praise of critics. Her unique charming temperament makes Sarah the character to get the most incisive embodiment, especially her glance back at Charles on the flood dike by the sea, which has become a classic moment.
.
Meryl Streep establishes her own style in this lyrical film. Two characters with completely different temperaments were injected into her body. She is the perfect contradiction between Sara and Anna
.
"The French Lieutenant's Woman" looks good, but it has no thoughts.
Jeremy John Irons plays roles in the two clues in the film who are struggling to pursue love. He enriched the personalities of these two characters with complex mental activities and accurate physical movements, making them a highlight of the film
.
"The French Lieutenant's Woman" adopts a layered structure, that is, the form of a play in a play, repeatedly using montages to form an intersecting effect of ancient and modern times, and reasonably connect the story together. The story of Sarah and Charles went from separation to reunion, and finally ended in a happy ending. Mike and Anna go from close to close, and finally to a tragic ending
.
The scenes of the film are very sophisticated: it visualizes the planning and accounting environment and emotionalizes the natural scenery. Use visual impact to reinforce the theme of the movie. For example, at the beginning, the depressed Sarah always wore deep-packed clothes, and often stood alone on the gray seashore or in the dark woods. Her pottery feet were choppy and cunning, which fits her society. The identity and mood of the lower class members. The sea of Cangsa, based on the heroine Sara, not only symbolizes Sara's deep heart, but also heralds the hero's feelings of sinking into it step by step. And as the opposite of everybody's lady Ernest, always use the sunshine and bright clothes as a foil. At the end of the story, Sarah finally became self-reliant in society, her environment and her clothes were also brightly lit up, and she also started boating with Charles on the calm water.
.
In the film, Sarah always uses dim tones to express Sara's emotional depression, contradiction, and aloofness and indifference in her personality. In the scene of Sara and Charles dating in the woods, the thick and gloomy trees are intertwined with each other. Invisibly gave the audience a strong pressure. The director cleverly used this scene to not only show the suppressed and restrained feelings in the ancient feudal and conservative social environment, but also achieve a strong visual impact.
.
The end of the story. When Sara reappears in the lens, the tone of the color is bright: this change in tones suggests to the audience that Sara's life has undergone a whole new transformation. Three years after joining and separating with Charles, Sarah seemed to be reborn. She was truly free. She pursued art without any buckle or bondage, and found the love she had left behind for a long time. In the film, Sara and Kirs meet again, and the boat passes under a gloomy bridge. Then the director puts the camera in a static state, so that the boat the two are sitting in gradually moves away from the camera, and the tone of the picture becomes brighter. This set of shots reflects that Sara has truly freed herself from pain and restraint. The hard-won love after the hard-won love has been reborn
.
In modern stories, the color tone of the film is mostly bright, which highlights the autonomy of modern women and forms a sharp contrast with the characters in the story. At the end of the film, after Anna played the role of Sara, she re-examined her relationship with Mike and chose to leave Mike. And the most dramatic scene is the last scene: when Mike opened the window to make a final detention for Anna, the blurted "Sara" immediately released the audience's disgust for Mike's betrayal of his wife's feelings. When the camera shot Mike's close-up and freeze-frame, from his expression, the audience could somewhat understand whether the relationship between him and Anna was the true love in Yuan Bai's heart or the so-called "being too deep into the play" confusion. Maybe at this time each other’s hearts have been baptized and reborn
.
The costumes of actors in the past have also changed from dark to bright, while the costumes of modern time and space have changed from bright to dark, which shows that the mentality of the characters has changed. The past time and space are dark to light. Sara is mostly indoors in the dark, when she appears outdoors, or in the dark woods, or simply on a cloudy day or at night. Contrary to Sara, Charles' fiancee is always in a bright room or in a sunny garden. At the end of the film, when Charles finally finds Sarah, Sara is finally in a sunny room.
.
The time and space now changes from light to dark. Anna and Mike started to spend a lot of time indoors or outdoors. At the end of the film, Anna first sits in front of a mirror that is too bright and dark, and then she leaves the mirror. Disappeared in the vast night. At the end of the film, Mike sits alone in a dark shadow in the house with a monologue
