After thinking about it again, literature and film adaptations are not the same after all. Re-creating characters with film techniques pays more attention to the concentration of events and the coordination of audio and visuals, which inevitably weakens the charm of imagination brought by words. Because in the text, the perspective is diffuse, it can be rotated and transferred infinitely, and it can be teleported from the sole of the foot to the heart of the person, and these can even be simultaneous, which means that the author can manipulate time and space, and escape the limitations of the camera to a certain extent. , does not follow the order and laws of people's objective observation of things in the real world. On the other hand, each object can have its own memory and space, which cannot be presented in the overall picture of the film except for close-up montages, but if you spend too much time on secondary information, it will Affects the allocation of resources to other parts. But apart from objective factors, I still think that Polanski artificially weakens the romanticism, and it is precisely this that makes Tess more innocent and poetic. What I am very satisfied with is that the restoration of the lens, the classic scene, the service, (really Polanski's use of the lens and the light is really amazing), including the adaptation of some plots. However, the adaptation of some plots damaged the charm of the characters, many key plots of Alexander were deleted, and how Claire and Tess fell in love was also omitted, so that I was confused about Tess being a mistress and Claire falling in love again. Water, I think these plots play a very important role in deeply portraying the hearts of the characters and promoting the development of the plot. Also, this makes the story fall into the routine of telling a vulgar ethical story to a certain extent, the reason may be that the portrayal of Tess is not "full" enough, and the beauty is not shocking enough, in this sense, it will sink into reality, but This is because I personally have very high expectations for the character of Tess, and I also respect the director's understanding and adaptation. And what makes me a little uncomfortable is that Das Kapital is on Claire's desk? Is it a translation problem of Tencent Video? The original is a work on pagan doctrine and has nothing to do with Marx. There are also some minor flaws in the casting. The heroine is beautiful and has a taste of independence but helplessness, but it lacks a bit of the innocence of Hardy's Tess, and her eyes lack flow, especially when talking about the soul. When I understood that paragraph, I was a little disappointed, but the framing made up for it. The window sills and flowers behind her were full of sunlight, making people feel that Tess was like a human angel bathed in holy light. Claire's first appearance I'm disillusioned... When I was reading the original book, I thought that if I was directing, the actor who played Perfume would have to play Claire Woo Woo, but "Claire"'s acting skills are great. The haunting Scottish music and the slumbers partly make up for Tess's image, but what annoys me is how could I use that background when I met Izzy on the morning Claire was planning to go to Brazil music? Not even the first time I met Tess, hum. But after reading other film reviews, I think it is also possible that the director deliberately satirized the character of Claire? However, if we speculate on the director's intentions from the later characterization and the performance of the actors, it can still be seen that the director still has good intentions for Claire.
Another point I want to say is that I have no intention to speculate on the relationship between Polanski and the heroine, but I still can't help feeling irony. Is it possible that Tess's helplessness in reality is not caused by such people to some extent? ?
