To put it simply, the story takes place in the Victorian era. Bai Fumei, who grew up in the beautiful countryside of England, had three suitors. The first one proposed to him directly. Tit, the second one was originally indifferent to her, but the heroine wanted to provoke her. After she had provoked her, she refused to agree to her and left her miserably to one side. The third one was not considered a suitor, but she once bowed to the heroine. Under the pomegranate skirt, can not extricate themselves. Therefore, it is not too much to say that this story is too Mary Sue. Moreover, the plot is set so bluntly, all the changes in the plot seem to change for the sake of change, and the transition is very unnatural. For example, the sheep of the male lead was suddenly forced to jump on a cliff by a dog one night. Died on the cliff, and the first male has no family property because of this, this kind of bridge is just scratching my lungs! However, this movie was so beautifully shot, especially the beautiful rural scenery, and the actors were also big names, talented actors and idols, so it saved the movie.
This film is adapted from Thomas Hardy's novel, of which "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" was re-released on the screen in 2009. Both stories took place in the Victorian era and have distinct characteristics of the times. In the era of description, ordinary people always have unfortunate fate, and women are still in the position of obedience, so in his works, these ordinary people who do not submit to fate and women with independent thoughts have become his main descriptions. The object, such as the heroine of this movie, if you look at it at the time, the heroine has a beautiful appearance, and she could marry without worrying about food and clothing, but she has to toss the farm by herself, even if there are many suitors, she is also uneasy. In the ordinary married life, free love, dare to refuse and dare to innovate, it is only a hundred years since such a female image appeared in China, so in the Victorian era at that time, such an image was simply the vanguard of the times, so , take out the characters that fit that era and put them in the present, and then judge them with various current values, and the answers you get are naturally nondescript.
The United Kingdom has always held a very positive attitude towards the change of classics. Every change of classic famous drama can always see the support of many big-name stars and expensive sets. However, the adaptation of works with too obvious characteristics of this era is not Easy things, especially the women who are praised in this drama for independent love and freedom are no longer a topic that the public is willing to discuss, which is even more embarrassing, and according to people who have read the original book, the narrative plot of this film is almost the same as the original book. There is no difference, there are few adaptations, so it can almost be said that the original work was moved to the screen intact. I personally think it is still desirable for the director's attitude. After all, the success of a work lies in its ideology. Eternity also lies in its distinct epochal nature.
Speaking of the movie itself, I personally think that if the third suitor is the handsome guy who dances knives and guns in front of the heroine, doesn't do his job properly, and successfully tricks the heroine into the bed, the soldier with the mustache, if he If you can act better, interpret the image of the playboy perfectly, and play this man handsome and bad, then the plot behind this movie may not be so far-fetched.
