The last time I wrote something seriously was exactly a year ago. Last time, I didn't care about one thing, and I didn't remember what year it was when I left it behind. Walking out of the cinema in the soothing autumn breeze in Beijing at midnight, I saw the broken stars of this ancient capital upwards, and the lights and neon downwards.
This is not a serious film review or book review.
From "Atonement" to "Pride and Prejudice", the tacit understanding between Joe White and Keira Knightley is beyond doubt, and Keira is undisputedly beautiful. However, it is a pity that the film is signed by Tolstoy after all. It is as grand as "Anna Karenina". After all, the style of the British Isles is not as vast as the ice-covered restoration, and the structure of Joe White cannot be extended. This book can only be shrunk into a love story.
But maybe it should have been. After the flowers swirling in the gorgeous dresses of the ball, after the music of the waltz, in the style that Joe White is familiar with-the undulating grass, the snow flying in the sky, the bursting fireworks, the deliberately made oil paintings and screens.景 effect. There are also those sculptural scenes, people with different freezes, only the pace and eyes of Anna and Volensky, they are the only ones who are fresh and vivid in this crazy repressive world.
Behind the background of those oil paintings, everyone's eyes were in full view. I see the roar of the past years in your story. The scene change is the stage, another world after the door is opened. It seems true and illusion.
In fact, this is the whole story of a love story. The madness of falling in love does not take into account all irrational men and women, romantic scenes, and all worldly obstacles. If there is no preconceived Tolstoy, I would almost think that this is all I need to know, there is no theme and center. This is Moscow, St. Petersburg, Tsarist Russia, and Snow Country.
People who have not read the original may be confused by the hasty clues of this movie. Kitty, who was used to contrast Anna, turned into a naive and almost shameless naive girl here, retreating again and again in Anna's compelling beauty. All the ladies are foils, and the light in the center is always on Anna.
There are too many clues and too complicated, and Joe White condenses the magnificent double main line and multiple clues of the original work into Anna's one-man show. The spotlights on this stage are all on her face.
Perhaps only Daoli said the most important sentence.
Because this is love.
Do you love me?
how much do you love me?
Do you only love me?
It is necessary to verify the answer to the question over and over again, whether it is or not. In the verdant wilderness, the sun blurs and blurs. After a long time, I can't remember whether there is this plot in the original book. It is too naive and romantic. Do you love me? In fact, this is not the worry of the men and women who met at the Moscow Prom in St. Petersburg.
Until Anna needed morphine for sleep, she started to lose her temper nervously, growl and doubt everything. I all know, this purely romantic woman. What she represents is never a complete person, but a complete woman. Embrace all the good qualities of women and all the stupid flaws. Her love and hatred, despair and hope are all very pure, just like Volensky's blue eyes.
In a sense, I like this movie.
Because at least, it restored a dream of my childhood, and at the same time made up for a shortcoming-at the end of the story, I finally believe that Volensky loved Anna deeply.
This may be the biggest difference between the movie and the original.
