Forced to be with someone you don't love, every minute is a torment

In fact, I sympathize with Tess, she is a beautiful, innocent, kind and courageous girl. Because of her beautiful appearance, her parents asked her to go to relatives with wealthy people, but her innocence was tarnished by her cousin. Ordinary people may have accepted the arrangement of fate, but Tess did not love Alexander, and she would rather go back to a poor home than get involved with him. He died of illness after the child was born. In order to escape from the past, she drives to a strange village and starts a new life. She meets Claire, a man who rekindles his hope of life. Unwilling to hide her past from her lover, she confesses her past experience to Claire. But Claire couldn't accept going away from home for a while, and finally caused a tragic ending. After reading it, I was thinking: "Is chastity, once lost, lost forever? If she can cover up the past, she may be able to prove that this sentence is wrong. Nature has something that can restore itself. Power, why isn't chastity alone?"

    Tess has read the original English book twice, Thomas Hardy's Wessex town hometown & the place where the story takes place. Tess's tragedy comes from three aspects: the corruption of capital society - utilitarianism - personal character. Polanski invests in emotional factors (to Sharon) may be in line with Justice's theme. The fog is shrouded - winding paths lead to secluded - reclining Stonehenge. Tess of the Rising Sun goes to "punishment" may be the original state of mind

    The plot of Qiong Yao, there is not a very orthodox so-called villain, but it has the worst ending, which makes people sigh! The three-hour film is not long, Polanski can also be very traditional~ The photography is so amazing, and the music and costumes are also very classical. Kinsky is so beautiful, teenage girls are so shattered by skin blows, but one search turned out to be gossip and sweat with Polanski. . .

Tess quotes

  • Alec d'Urberville: [sees Tess trying to learn how to whistle] Nor art nor nature ever created a lovelier thing than you, cousin Tess. To see that pretty mouth pouting and puffing away, without producing a single note.

    Tess: It's all a part of my work, sir.

    Alec d'Urberville: Well, never mind. I'll teach you. I won't lay a finger on you. See. I'll stay exactly where I am. Now, you watch me. Don't scrape your lips too tight. Do it like this.

    [whistles]

    Alec d'Urberville: Blow gently. Gently. Try. Try again. Again. There. You'll manage splendidly now that I've started you off.

  • Alec d'Urberville: What are you crying for?

    Tess: I was only thinkin', I was born over there.

    Alec d'Urberville: Well, we all have to be born somewhere.

    Tess: Why, I wish I'd never been born. There or anywhere else.

    Alec d'Urberville: You're absurdly melancholy, Tess. You can hold your own for beauty against any woman, queen or commoner. I tell you that as a practical man who wishes you well. If you're wise, you'll let the world get a clearer sight of that beauty, before it fades. Why not make the most of life?
