    "16MM film has witnessed the poignant love of the American Puritan era" The delicate diary narration makes up for the lack of dramatic conflict"

    One of Dickinson's poems comes to mind: Had I not seen the sun, Could have borne the shade; But light a newer wilderness, My wilderness has made. the desolation of a newer desolation. Abigail,Abigail,Abigail. You are my city of joy. The original lines give its prose and poetic beauty, and the actors give this poem soul and tension?

    I don't know if it started with "The Burning Girl", the female love-themed movies are keen on this kind of literary text, and create a closed, isolated and cold environment. "Ammonite" and "The Burning Girl" are the same, and this film is also the same. Compared with the former, it seems that the latter did not deliberately hide the existence of men, but independently constructed a cage that belonged only to women, which men could not understand and never set foot in. The nuanced diary narration makes up for the lack of dramatic conflict and Abigail's emotional motivation. In fact, I prefer to understand that Tully is Abigail's imaginary character, filling the fire of her love that will be extinguished in the cold night. In the end, the snow and the cold night passed, and she also fell into the distance.

    Tallie: Oh, how pleasant and uncommon it is to make someone's day

  • Abigail: Tuesday, January 1st, 1856. With little pride and less hope, we begin the new year.
