      Life Guide for Young Women in Literature and Art

      "Early Spring" hasn't been watched yet. It is said that it tells the story of a young literary girl. Now that I have read this, I think it is suitable for the majority of young women in literature and art to learn from it.
      Even in the age when poetry can still travel, it is still very hard for a poet to feed another poet, let alone a female poet to feed a male poet, if it happens to be the one in the film who has a history of suicide and is equally eager. A female poet who succeeded and...

      Sylvia's death

      I have seen a lot of depressive movies. For these people who vent their feelings through words, the similarity is Xiang Wu who mumbled and merged words into words. There is a time bomb in these beaten words. Emotions.

      "Dying Art IS AN everthing like the else,

        the I do IT Exceptionally Well .... the I do IT SO IT Feels

      like Hell, like A Call"

      , "death" is mentioned numerous times from Sylvia mouth, like a remote control in her life is a An ordinary...

      Unfortunately love is the same~~

      I bought it a long time ago. The plate I bought was written with "Beauty in a Bottle" with an ethereal background. I thought it was another "Possesion" type shuttle film. I wondered how Paltrow had such a good taste. Then one day it was finally turned out because of Daniel Craig.

      As soon as I see a woman maddened by suspicion, I can't stand it (Is it influenced by Taiwanese TV series?). Later, when I learned about the true past, I couldn't help but sigh. I still feel that Plath’s...

      Sylvia

      This movie is hard to find, I found it occasionally in a corner of the Internet, and I wanted to see the comments. It looks very beautiful. I was reading a poem while watching the video. The tree with its leaves falling in the wind was very impressive at the beginning. I watched it on a certain TV camera four years ago, and I watched it again today. It seems that the British are very good at this kind of subject matter, and the pictures are covered with cloth. It is either autumn or winter....

      The unfreedom of the free

      The topic of what is love, what is freedom, or the legend that love breaks fate and attains freedom does not seem to be a new topic. The words poet, love, and death are also frequently interpreted. Silvia is one of them.
      I want to make a bold assumption, that is, Hughes is devoted to her, loves her, appreciates all her talents and beauty, then what will Silvia's life be like. Will she still write those poems, and will she open up the gas?
      I didn't excuse Hughes out of sympathy, or I...

      We're not even two people, even before we met, we were two halves apart, moving separately, each carrying a hole in the shape of the other's body. Find her poems to read another...

      It's a tragedy for Gwyneth Gwyneth to play Plath. It's just a love triangle, and I can't see how the destructive temperament affects her poetry style and final...

      Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't have the air of a poetess at all. . Daniel Craig's hairstyle can't bear to look straight....

      The things you scare the most, the most likely you gonna make them happen. Too much portrayal of her as a grudge... Although Hughes' derailment led to her suicide, but her halo can't be extinguished like this, it is estimated that the Taiwan version of bell That Zhong Wenyan in the preface of jar was just making a gibberish based on this...

    Evaluation action

    In the film, the female director Christine Jeffs strives to avoid either-or, the dual moral judgment of right and wrong, good and evil, and tries to write Plath's tragic past as a fable. Jeffers possesses the sensibility and keenness necessary to express this subject. Her understanding of Plath comes more from intuition than analysis. Therefore, the film has a strong emotional power, which exists in the emotional connection established...

    Movie quotes

    • Al Alvarez: That Daddy poem, the use of metaphor, the way it builds the end out blackness into an explosion of fury. But, it's just - stunning.

    • Al Alvarez: Sylvia, I know this must have been hard on you.

      Sylvia: No. I've never been happier and I've never written more. Its as if, now he's gone, I'm free. I can finally write. I wake up between three and four, cause that's the worst time, and I write till dawn. I really feel like God is speaking through me.

    • Al Alvarez: Extraordinary. And Lady Lazarus - the one about the failed suicides. The despair. The overpowering sense of foreboding and, yet, without a trace of anger or hysteria or any appeal for sympathy. The - the wealth of imagery. Such horrors; but, expressed with a coolness. Like a - a murderer's confession.
