      Vanity Fair--The History of the Heroine's Struggle

      It feels like watching a drama... I haven't read the original book, but the perception of this drama is the history of the heroine's struggle, and I will go step by step with my own wisdom. As for the reason for her separation from her husband (why did she hide a thousand pounds by herself), did you just use the sentence "You don't know how hard I used to be"? The plot and understanding are very shallow, and...

      unable to stay out

      After 2 hours, I finally persevered. Record your feelings in general.

      Looking back at the whole film, I feel that there are more points worth discussing than I imagined. The overall feeling is a bit realistic and a little fantastic, the character building performance can be described as amazing, the crossing of historical clues is also a bunker, Rebecca Sharp who can speak French (this already makes me think a lot), the Indian element is almost a flaw, mixed with the Napoleonic Wars....

      good woman

      "If anything happens to me, I want you to know how much money I have left, I'm lucky today, so you have a lot of money left, and one horse left to sell, and also, those suitcases are worth each 30 pounds and I'll wear that old uniform, you can sell the new one, and the saddle gun, the cigarettes, and these odds and ends, that's enough money to get you back to London"
      "I know what we're getting , but I'm afraid we don't know what to lose."
      The most impressive thing in the movie is what...

      Bring the suitcase and smile beautifully, as if not injured

      The original intention of being interested in this kind of film stemmed from the curiosity about the European society of that era and the love of old European clothes. Unfortunately for this film, the Indian director has kidnapped his full patriotic feelings for an American film based on the old British high society. The curry taste is too strong. I haven't read the original book. Many people say that the heroine is a scheming girl, but in such a social environment and the heroine's own family...

      Becky's Struggle

      It is not so much a history of blood and tears of Vanity Fair that it is more like a history of indomitable and painstaking struggle. Becky's performance in the film is remarkable, of course, a little more enchanting will be more in line with the character's role.
      Emily's dedication to love is respectable, but if she didn't have Becky, a friend who wakes up the dreamer, would she be stupid for a lifetime? The affairs of society are too complicated, how do you know that you are not meeting...

    "Vanity Fair" interprets the patriarchal ideology and the female image centered on pecuniary interests for the audience. The film criticized the darkness and chaos of British society in the 19th century, and showed the British Victorian society incisively and vividly. There is a sharp contrast between the characters of the two heroines Becky Sharp and Emilia Setley in the film, especially Becky Sharp's unique charm that is neither evil...

    • George Osborne: [as Becky plays a piano forte] So, Miss Sharp. How do you like your new place?

      Becky Sharp: My place? How kind of you to remind me. It's quite tolerable, thank you. And they treat me very well. But then, this is a gentleman's family... and quite a change from tradespeople.

      George Osborne: You seemed to like tradespeople well enough last year.

      Becky Sharp: Joseph Sedley, you mean? It's true. If he'd ask me, I would not have said no.

      George Osborne: How very obliging of you.

      Becky Sharp: I know what you're thinking. What an honor to have had you for a brother in-law. Captain George Osborne, son of John Osborne, Esquire, son of... what was your grandfather?

      [George remains silent and stern]

      Becky Sharp: Never mind. You cannot help your pedigree.
