Sabina is a character that caught my attention. Every time she appears in the camera, she always has an uninhibited feeling. Her clothes, she likes to look in the mirror when she has sex, and her favorite hat is also Tomas's favorite.
Tomas: " tiny things that make one woman totally unlike any other".
Sabina:"what's my detail, doc?"
"your hat, Sabina."
"the hat, comes from my grandfather's grandfather. he lived a long, long time ago... ...... a long time ago......what are you looking at?"
"your eyes."
After Sabina explained the origin of the hat, he admired her even more. At first I thought they were really good match, life must be very interesting. After reading it, I realized that the naive Tereza was the best match for him. He who originally yearned for freedom would not love others. When Tereza was sleeping, he was about to get up for work and woke up to find that Tereza's hand was holding his tightly. His eyes were surprised, he thought it was another one-night stand like before, but this time he noticed the difference, from the time he found a book and put it in her hand instead of his hand for her to hold, it indicated that he I began to fall into this emotional trap step by step.
Come back and talk about this hat, a hat is an item, an enduring item, it has no life but a metaphor for eternity "a long, long time ago...a long time ago...." She wears it every time she wants to have sex with him Wearing that hat, she should also be eager to be with him in her heart. Tomas is the only man who likes her hat, and she also wants to maintain their impossible relationship through an eternal item. The relationship between Tomas and Sabina is far more than just friends. When he learned that she was dating Frenz, his eyes were a little sad and wished them happiness. She thought she could have sex with her, but after learning the news, he strayed. Go, "I'll call you." and throw the door away. Before Tomas and Tereza met and got married, he wanted to have fun and didn't want to have feelings. After getting married, he couldn't calm down and live with Tereza. Anyway, naive men have nothing good, so Sabina didn't put any pressure on him. Willful, she also knew that even if she told him seriously that she wanted to be with him, he would not accept it. She actually expressed in the beginning of the movie that he made a promise, but broke it easily. Don't take it to heart, he is like a child, messing around with flowers, making people angry, I really want to fan him. But if he accepts her, will Sabina really accept him, she's such a contradictory character that it's hard to fathom. Later Tomas and Tereza got married, maybe because of this, when she saw Franz for her divorce, she chose to run away, she knew Franz and his wife must have been in love, but now she is a third party, and she Hearing him say that his wife didn't argue with him about this, and even helped him pack his luggage, this made her a little comfort in her departure. She could think of the future life that she was afraid of the freedom to be bound. For her, responsibility and freedom were contradictory. At the end of the story, when she took the letter from the handsome postman, it could be seen from the postman's expression that he liked her. I guess she can only return to the ordinary in the end, marrying an ordinary person, Everyone lives an ordinary life.
The whole film is full of yearning for all kinds of freedom.
For freedom of speech, Tomas refused to sign and Tereza encouraged him.
For sexual freedom, Tereza tries to be like Tomas, she wants to become light cause life is too heavy for her. But her and his definition of freedom are different. For him, sex is like watching a football game. For her, how can you make love with the people whom you don't love?
For the freedom of the territory to the homeland, participating in protest marches and taking pictures for publication, not naming the people who participated in the protests in the pictures for the Soviet Union.
Freedom, freedom, freedom, this movie is full of chasing freedom, but who is free and what is freedom? In the end, isn't Tomas forced to return to Prague for Tereza, is he stuck with love or is desperate for love, Everyone has everyone's explanation, maybe for some people, he shouldn't go back to her, because love is a tie that hinders your free soul, well, fuck your free soul , there is a sentence in "Gone with Wind": "burdens are for shoulders strong enough to carry them."
btw, the original is much better than the movie! ! The film is estimated to be the director's personal interpretation.
