The story takes place in the Victorian period of England. Although the heroine Bashiba lost her parents since childhood, she is brave, independent and optimistic, and loves freedom. After the death of her uncle, she inherited a large inheritance, from an ordinary farm worker to a farm hostess. Her beauty and personality made three men fall for her. Gabriel was Bathsheba's first suitor, when he was a self-employed small farmer, guarding a hundred acres of land and a flock of sheep. And Bashiba has not inherited the inheritance yet, and helps her aunt with farm work every day. At that time, although he did not have the wealth or high social status, it was enough for Bathsheba to live a well-off life. His sudden proposal was rejected by Bathsheba. Later, heaven is impermanent, and an accident caused Gabriel to lose all the sheep overnight. Bankrupt, he had to wander elsewhere, and later, he met Bathsheba again, who at that time was already the new local farmer. He became her shepherd, and the status between the two became very different. "He's rich, handsome, and the local girls are crazy about him." Arriving at the new place, Bathsheba quickly noticed her neighbor, Podwood, and she couldn't help but pay attention to Podwood's every move, even if Podwood didn't notice her at first. On Valentine's Eve, she and her assistant decided on a joke by throwing books to decide who would receive their Valentine's Day cards. Poor Podwood was shot, and his heart that had been frozen for many years was melted by the "confession" card, but he fell into the abyss of doom. Bashiba, played by Mulligan, has an expressive facial expression. After the confession, Bathsheba always tried to suppress the smile from the corner of her mouth, but was unsuccessful. The corners of her upturned mouth revealed her inner smugness, but for the sake of her dignity and image, she tried to restrain her expression. When Gabriel's proposal failed and left angrily, Bathsheba chased after him: "I'm not saying I won't marry you, I haven't seriously thought about it." Bathsheba didn't want Gabriel Bailie broke off his pursuit of himself. Perhaps the first time Bathsheba faced someone's sudden marriage proposal, she seemed somewhat overwhelmed and didn't know how to respond. Later, the fate of both of them has changed too much, and they no longer have any hope of being with each other. But when Mr. Podwood rekindled his love and proposed to Bathsheba, he was also rejected. With a hurt expression on his face, Podwood took out an envelope with a red wax print of Marry me from his pocket: "Is this just a joke?" " No, no, not quite...it's just my recklessness. " Bathsheba hastily denied it. "Will you think about it again? " "Let me think about it. "She didn't reject them completely, but gave them hope, and let those men wait for her, for her to make an indefinite decision. She still held her head high, kept her loneliness proud, and gave herself room to give Others leave opportunities. In 19th-century England, women actually didn't have much choice. When a man with a certain economic and status proposed to them, they would basically agree. On the farms, which were more closed-minded at the time, Bassey Ba's behavior can be described as bold, she not only rejected others, but also said: "I don't want to get married, I don't want to be a man's accessory. "At that time, she was still a farmer who needed to work with her own hands in exchange for food. No matter how hard her life was at that time, she did not choose to rely on the comfortable life provided by men, but on herself. Today, women's consciousness has become very strong. In the wake of the great awakening, the status of men and women is far less disparate than in the past, and self-reliant women are gradually becoming the mainstream. On campus, they are brilliant and eloquent; in the workplace, they are vigorous, calm and capable; in life, they are careful , not afraid of hard work... In many respects, they are no less than men. Just as Bathsheba held her head high and walked steadily in the millet market where men gathered, selling the millet of her farm to other men. Today, self-reliance and self-reliance , There are many attractive women who have suitors, but it is difficult for them to choose from them. Maybe some women choose to be single because they have not met a compatible partner, while others just keep waiting for more suitors to appear to satisfy their vanity. At the same time, collect more love. The need for this kind of love is bottomless, bottomless. Meeting Troy, the proud and rational Bathsheba fell. The young and handsome Troy was born in a noble family and was well educated, but chose to join the army , became a sergeant. He was romantic, eloquent, and good at creating "accidents" , and even know how to flirt with lust, and can be described as a master of flirting. Bathsheba became obsessed with him, from having frequent rendezvous with him, to finally getting married in a confused way. After marriage, Troy's bad temperament was soon exposed. He left the army and not only had nothing to do on the farm, but also liked to drink and gamble and owe a lot of gambling debts. He even had a lover who died on the street due to a misunderstanding. Men have a primal instinct to hunt, and they crave even more sex. So they enjoy the process of wooing women and different sexual experiences. Women always need more love because of their different physiological structures. The more men love them, the better. This is actually due to the lack of security caused by the lack of heart, so they need their love to support. Women are just as greedy as men and have the same greedy nature. Women always like to hear other people compliment their appearance or appearance, eager to be the only one in the eyes of their lovers. It reminds me of Cynthia in "The Splendid Beauty," a sheer beauty whose men bow down under her pomegranate dress. She is greedy and vain. For the money to buy a dress, or just for a moment of emotional impulse, she easily accepts marriage proposals from different men, but she has to wait a few years for men, and this kind of waiting has become far in the future. Troy's compliments to Bathsheba made her blush, his romance and passion made her feel deeply loved, she was truly seduced, and fell deeper and deeper into Troy's palm. When she hears from him that he has a lover he loves more and more beautiful than her, jealousy makes her anxious, which makes her eager to marry him, just to win over a woman she has never met. It is precisely because of the unease and lack of women that scumbags have an opportunity. Bathsheba's actions hurt the man who truly loved her and cherished her. Gabriel stared at the man who was beside Bathsheba but had nothing to say, his heart must be tingling. But even more pitiful was Mr. Podwood, who, when his long-slumbered love was awakened to find it was half a joke, was waiting with hope to hear that Miss Bathsheba had married someone else. When Bathsheba became a widow, he regained hope. He wanted to confess to Bathsheba again on the night of the dance, but he accidentally killed Troy who came back from nowhere. Originally, his life was at its peak, but the rest of his life had to be spent in prison. Bathsheba herself had the bitter fruit. She watched Troy kiss the body of her ex, and listened to him say word by word: "This woman, in the past, present, and future, is more important than you. You are nothing to me now." The next day, she received news that Troy had committed suicide by drowning, and later, Troy returned, fell in front of her with a gunshot, and never woke up again. But Bashiba is not lucky, she has two men who truly love her by her side. Podwood pursued her eagerly, was willing to give her the best material conditions, and cherished and loved her. Even if she lost her husband later, he was still willing to propose to her and promised her to run her own farm. Gabriel silently accompanied Bashiba from the beginning to the end. When the granary caught fire, he desperately put out the fire; when the rainstorm was approaching, he climbed up to the granary alone and pulled the rain cloth, so that the food would not get wet; he boldly criticized Ba Scyba seduces Podwood's frivolity; follows Bathsheba when she secretly dates Troy, hoping to protect her from harm... But, Bathsheba doesn't cherish it, she's used to them treating her good. At the end of the film, Bashiba catches up with Gabriel, who is going to the United States for development. She deeply regrets her past mistakes in front of her. The end of the story is that they are together, away from the hustle and bustle, living an idyllic life. It seems that the original author Thomas Hardy has a preference for Bathsheba. Although she has made many stupid mistakes, she has also become mature in the tempering of life, and she is also a person who dares to admit mistakes and correct them. I think her confession was a big reason why Gabriel came back to her. But movies are just movies, and novels are just novels. Are women as lucky and brave as Bathsheba in real life? Years later, can I still be with the man who loves me unswervingly but has been missed by me and hurt others? In the end, I just want to say one thing: dear women, open your eyes, learn to discern goodness, not be blinded by your own greed and vanity, and cherish those who are truly good to you.
