      Passion and Desire: About Ada and George's "Deranged Love"

      At first glance, the romance between the heroine Ada and the farmer Baines is indeed a bit of a "deformed love". Ada did give up her body. To put it vulgarly, it is to sell one's body for some "ulterior motive" (in exchange for a piano). But Ada is not a prostitute. For prostitutes, the two ends of the scale are flesh and money, and the flesh is loaded with all dignity. For Ada, the two ends of the scale are the body and the piano, the body is only the body, and only the piano is inviolable. A...

      Woman, man, this is never a love story

      Men and women have always existed in two worlds, even when they are in love. No, I doubt it's in love, it should be said even if they marry.
      Ada is isolated from the crowd because she cannot speak, but rather than being isolated by the crowd, it is better to say that she chooses to stay away from the crowd. She has no love for this world, even with a mean contempt. She only loves the piano.
      Both Bo and Ada's husbands love Ada, and love Ada as much as a man loves a woman.
      Ada's...

      I want you to care for me.

      It is written and directed by the famous New Zealand female director Jane Campion. Cannes Palme d'Or (tied with Farewell My Concubine). The box office has a good reputation.
      This is actually a "Spring in a Small Town"-style story of red apricots coming out of the wall, but under the delicate and tactful narration, it has become poignant and moving. How to arouse the audience's sympathy and sympathy for the character Ada, so as to turn over his "betrayal" behavior morally, is the key to the...

      rough. Love

      movie below. Accidentally came across English pronunciation without subtitles. Then read it by feeling.

      I forgot whose review I read and decided to watch it, but I just felt a little sad after watching it. Sad for a woman's helplessness in the face of her own life, in order to survive, she married a man she did not love, sad for her daughter's ignorance, and let her mother rub shoulders with her music and dreams, love and life. , sad that a husband can only cut off his own woman's...

      A corner of love, a glimpse of barbarism and civilization


          For the time being, let go of the entanglement of love, the waves and the wind, the piano music, and let me talk about some rational things.
           
          The title of the article could also be called, The ignorance of civilization or the triumph of barbarism. Yes, civilization is ignorant and cruel.
              
          Seeing Ida playing the piano in a fascination with a wooden table, her husband Stuart worriedly asked his family what it meant, including her long-standing...

      At the beginning, I felt that the director's idea was very clear, and she knew what she wanted to express. How to break free When the heroine lost her voice at the age of 6, she looked out from the gap between her fingers, the emotion tightened inward, and she couldn't help but tragic fate. The story is set in the middle of 19C, on the empty coast of New Zealand, a piano is placed on the beach, and the sea is rippling. Woolf once wrote: there is a piece of cloth swaying there with layers of...

      The piano soundtrack is so beautiful, I once thought that as long as Ada was accompanied by the sound of the piano, there was nothing else he wanted or wanted, but after the absolutely pure and pure environment broke into the man who was wild and wild outside, delicate and sensual inside, love and desire would disappear. Unstoppable. In the end, she sank into the bottom of the sea, giving up the past and focusing on the future, while at the same time letting go of herself and embracing the...

      The scene where Ida falls into the water at the end of the film is similar to the similar scene in the famous French director Jean Viggo's 1934 "Barge Atalante", which has become a classic scene in film history, while Campone uses modern The stunt photography gives people a sense of magic and...

    Evaluation action

    "The Piano" is a movie based on the awakening consciousness of women. The film's description of women's feelings is delicate and round, and the psychological portrayal is beautiful and subtle. As far as the artistic effect is concerned, the film has reached an extreme. It uses the piano as a carrier to make the note of love become a medium for the male and female protagonists in the film to communicate their thoughts and feelings, thus...

    Movie quotes

    • Ada: What a death! What a chance! What a surprise! My will has chosen life! Still it has had me spooked and many others besides!

    • Ada: George has fashioned me a metal finger tip, I am quite the town freak which satisfies!

    • Ada: At night! I think of my piano in its ocean grave, and sometimes of myself floating above it. Down there everything is so still and silent that it lulls me to sleep. It is a weird lullaby and so it is; it is mine.
