Call the male lead scum, or call the female lead stupid?
The root of the tragedy is not how unreliable Angel is, but the only one Tess truly loves is Angel. The man who put down his schedule and danced with a woman in a strange village, the man who played the flute in the evening, the man who hugged her through the puddle and confessed affectionately....

"Life is a mystery"-this is definitely a bleak and low cry from Polanski from the bottom of his dead heart. As Mr. Lu Xun said in "Little Miscellaneous Feelings": A woman's nature consists of only motherhood and daughterhood, not wifehood. Wife sex is forced by (moral codes), it's just a mixture of motherhood and daughter sex. Therefore, "Tess", which gave birth to "motherhood" from misfortunes, is the angel who really rescued this movie genius from the gloomy real world. Just like "Barry Linden", the destiny of the rich is cursed irrevocably by "God". However, in the eyes of the victim (director) born in poverty, the poor also have a destiny that cannot be escaped. Ironically, the protagonist's complex of finding perfect "daughter sex" in women in the film precisely explains why the author later became entangled with the crime and stigma of "sexual assault on girls". However, his adaptation of this edition is really a masterpiece that cannot be more perfect. In these classical romantic oil paintings, we not only see the self-criticism of a mature man, but also insight into the circulation and unity of the duality of subject and object.

Tess: I was only thinkin', I was born over there.
Alec d'Urberville: Well, we all have to be born somewhere.
Tess: Why, I wish I'd never been born. There or anywhere else.
Alec d'Urberville: You're absurdly melancholy, Tess. You can hold your own for beauty against any woman, queen or commoner. I tell you that as a practical man who wishes you well. If you're wise, you'll let the world get a clearer sight of that beauty, before it fades. Why not make the most of life?
