      A product of the versatile Fiennes family!

      A product of the versatile Fiennes family!
      Ralph is the perfect choice to play Onegin. The arrogant indifference of this great lover of Russian literature seems to be always out of this world. How can Liv hold up without the aura of Lord Voldemort? For Takiana Maybe it's too beautiful. The scene of lying on the wooden boat and reading a book and dancing on the ice is completely the incarnation of the elf. The last scene of Onegin kneeling in front of Takiana is really cruel to watch. I...

      The drama of Ju Ai offers two love letters

      I don't know how many times I've watched it, but it has always been on the disk, and I'm reluctant to delete it after watching it again and again. Revisited it again today. I really feel like I should get something out. It is a huge project to write carefully. The language of the film is beautiful (the pictures and music are beautiful), and the two love letters are even more classic, so they were typed word for word.


      Dearest Onegin,

      I write to you. It's all I can do....

      You are too late, I can't save you.”

              Onegin left the city again, drifting around, just as he did six years ago. He is the "superfluous person" in this world, and he would rather live on the tip of his own iceberg and watch the world with a cold eye, rather than learn to have his own real life and love. He regards himself as arrogant but curses himself, he is too lazy to love, even too lazy to live. This morbid harmony made Russia of that period seem peaceful, but inside it was nothing.

      a man live in a dream

      In a horse-drawn carriage running through the ice and snow in Russia, the obscure St. Petersburg noble onegin stared at the vast white earth outside the window, and repeatedly asked himself: when will the devil come for me?

      Fragments of previous life in St. Petersburg could not help but intertwined in my mind. The picture returns to a private theater. In the melodious and gorgeous violin music, the ballet dancers gracefully show their graceful dance steps, but Nie Shao and his fox...

      In accordance with the secret of immortality of love pointed out by Pushkin in Onegin, we should always keep the distance of love, which is equivalent to the distance between believers and gods

      1 Onegin said to Taqiana in his cabin in the woods, I am not born for love and marriage, can't you foresee the outcome? Confession, kissing, marriage, family, obligations, boredom, adultery, is this the future you want?
      Naive Taqiana, say no, I believe in the possibility of a... . There were all kinds of innocence in her eyes, and she couldn't find the words that fit that possibility.
      Onegin went on to say, believe me I say this for your own good, you are young and easily...

      Life knows what it is like, Feihong treads on slush. Doing nothing is my motto. Legacy of the rich, lakes and hills. Pastoral nostalgia is a reflection in the water, and borrowing a book is the beginning of a lifetime of infatuation. Bad poets in the city, stupid duels in the country. The trees outside Wuthering Heights are twisted, the Duchess never dances again; the time in Qiluo's mansion is rotten, life is too fast to feel, "You are late" - the lost paradise is the best...

    Movie plot

    The protagonist is Onegin, an aristocratic young man in St. Petersburg. He had a luxurious life path similar to that of ordinary aristocratic young people, but the atmosphere of the times and the progressive enlightenment thought, Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations and Rousseau's Social Contract , Byron's poems extolling freedom and individual liberation, all influenced him and changed his attitude towards reality. He became tired of the...

    Background creation

    This movie version is probably due to the length of the adaptation. Dagiana's image does not seem to be as rich as the original long-verse novel, but the main points are all there, especially the scenes after the two reunite, which are very representative. Female director Martha Fiennes obviously knows how to express this love that is missed because of the character's character with a deft and delicate touch. In the choice of actors,...

    Movie quotes

    • Evgeny Onegin: [writing to Tatyana] I can forsee the bitter scorn blazing at me from your proud eyes when you have read my secret sorrow. When we first met, through chance, I saw tenderness like a shooting star but did not dare to put my faith in it. Then Lensky fell, which parted us til further. Then I tore my heart away from everything I loved, rootless, estranged from all, I thought that liberty and peace would serve instead of happiness. My God, how wrong I was. How I have been punished. No, day by day to be with you, follow you everywhere, alive to every smile, each movement of your eyes, to dwell upon you soul's perfection, listen to your voice and grow faint with yearning. That is bliss and I'm cut off from it. My time is short, each day and hour is precious yet I just drag myself around in boredom. Everyday a desert unless when I wake up I know the day will bring a glimpse of you. If you but knew the flames that burn in me, which I attempt to beat down with my reason, but let it be. I cannot struggle against my feelings anymore, I am entirely in your will.

    • Evgeny Onegin: When will the devil take me?

    • Vladimir Lensky: And then you'll shoot me?

      Evgeny Onegin: Only if you're dull.
