poor victorian woman

Shakespeare said: Fragile, your name is a woman. I said: beauty, vulnerability is not your original sin, but if your wisdom and judgment cannot support your beauty, and the atmosphere concept of the original family cannot protect you comprehensively, then your beauty will bring you a fatal blow and devastating disaster. The original sinner is not Tess's weakness, but the church, patriarchal and husband's power. Tess' parents, who are snobbish and greedy for money, are the boosters. The fatal link that finally pushed the struggling Tess into the abyss. Claire, let me say something! The hypocrite who gave hope to the unfortunate girl and strangled her with his own hands! His hands were covered with Tess' blood, but he was finally able to marry his sister-in-law and bring her beauty back! A proper double standard dog. Kind, vulnerable, helpless, unkind to others, destruction... Alas, looking depressing, I really want to tear off the mask of Claire's hypocrisy, look at the double-standard selfish and ugly face of this pseudo-literary youth, a hypocrite and a real villain Equally abominable, damn them.

Another: Add one more star to the costumes in the play, the strong late Victorian style, the women's corsets, corsets, panniers and large skirts, but also reflect that the elites of the upper class, gentlemen, gentlemen, and patriarchs have seized the right to speak and occupied public opinion. When reviewing the highlands, women are oppressed and suffocated by layers of fancy clothes and the shackles of old customs. This is the situation for the upper class women, let alone the poor girl Tess?

Another: I have to say that Polanski is really a talented director. The color tone, light and shadow, light and shade of the photography, the fog of the wheat field, the farm, and the forest, and the rich classicism style are like 19th century oil paintings.

    The first of 2019. The 3-hour movie is still too short compared to the original, so the plot has to be simplified, and a lot of inner dramas, which are good at writing, are also discarded. However, although Hardy's sympathy for Tess is difficult to reproduce on the big screen in words, the director successfully visualized the poetic landscape description of the original work and controlled the rhythm of the progress of the story delicately, making the film full of compassion from the first minute Emotions. I said that I don't like "The Thief Family" because the characters can't make me feel awe or sympathy. Some netizens say that I am low and that my emotions are simple. However, these two emotions are one of the great traditions of literature and music in the romantic period, creating an insurmountable peak in the history of art development, which may be the era when art is closest to universal values.

    Tess, who was driven to desperation by the vanity of her parents, the lust of Alec, and the love of Angie, is a true angel; a good girl always meets a bad man, and a better girl meets a bad man. True evil.
