The film adaptation of "The Unbearable Lightness of Life".
Before watching the movie, I thought Thomas was the protagonist of this book, but I always felt something was wrong. After watching the movie, I suddenly realized that the real protagonists are two women, and Thomas is just a chain linking them. (It can be seen from the magnified process of taking nude photos in the movie)
1.
In a special historical environment, the people are so small and lovely, there is no good or bad character, only the way of life caused by the difference in outlook on life. choose. Obviously, in the attitude towards life, Sabina chose light, Tereza was heavy, and Thomas was somewhere in between, and died before he finally understood it. (However, the movie is kinder, and it still gave him the ending of "how happy I am".)
The second
movie omits a lot of Tereza's tangled psychological state, and those dreams are also depicted in a more abstract, unintelligible way . And the psychological suggestion and analysis of those dreams is what makes this book outstanding, probably this is the place where movies and books can never be equal. From the book, in Tereza's last dream, Thomas turned into a rabbit and jumped into her arms after her death. At this time, she felt that it was real happiness, happiness without any doubts and worries. From this point of view, Tereza is immersed in her own ideal of love, and she chooses too extreme in the choice between spirit and flesh, light and heavy. Just as she loves watching Anna Karelina, romanticism is in her blood. Even Sabina, who is a painter, is beyond the reach of this kind of romance in her bones.
Three
wrote here and found an interesting contrast. Sabina has a deliberate avoidance of the trivialities of life, but cannot resist the temptation of carnal desire. On the contrary, Tereza tried to drown in a down-to-earth life, but her pursuit of heart and spirit never stopped and never satisfied. The former is dressed in the brilliance of romanticism and enjoys the fruits of realism; the latter is diligently cultivating the soil of realism, but always with a romantic heart. It is impossible to know who is right and who is wrong.
Milan does not think that Tereza is happy, or that he thinks that the way she finally achieves her own happiness is slightly morbid. If there is no car accident, I believe that Tereza will still be surrounded by doubt and panic, this kind of spiritual The heavy Thomas could not bear for a long time. And what the film handles best is the heartbreaking look of Sabina's absent-mindedness when she reads the letter at the end. "Some friends died, I'm their closest friend". This sentence eclipses all previous ethical judgments and moral comments.
