The name of the film is a famous painting, in which Scarlett Johansson plays the teenage girl who had an unworldly, timid beauty in her (not yet 20 years old, and in Lost in Translation) She doesn't have a lot of makeup, it's not very stunning at first glance, but the thick lips themselves have a sensual beauty, and now she wears a lot of makeup, so more people say she's sexy (I still like her The way she looked when she was young).
The film is about the Netherlands in the 17th century, and the ambiguous emotions and desires between the author of the painting and the girl who worked as a maid in his house, the medium is this painting. In fact, the film in the film Desires are more than emotions. The painter is the original desire for the youthful beauty of the girl, and the girl is awe and curiosity for the painter. Both of them suppress their desires due to the difference in status, the painter can only bear it, the girl vents her desires On the body of the butcher's son who has the same status as himself (Cillian Murphy, who was not famous at the time, had a pair of unique eyes, and a later "Red Eye Flight" was enough to make many people pay attention to him). I don't like him very much. The desire in the movie is too strong to be vented, and it feels too ambiguous.

Girl with a Pearl Earring quotes

  • Van Ruijven: So, have you decided what to do up next, Jan? Have you found inspiration up in that room of yours? Is there another patron in Delft with pockets as deep as mine?

  • Vermeer: [Describing his newly arrived Camera Obscura] See this? This is called a lens. Beams of reflected light from that corner pass through it, into the box, so that we can see it here.

    Griet: Is it real?

    Vermeer: It's an image. A picture made of light.

    Griet: Does the box show you what to paint?

    Vermeer: It helps.
