sacrifice on the altar

I really can't believe that my first movie review is this one, it's crazy. But that kind of movie is hard to copy too, isn't it?

Polanski is a constant reminder of the changing times in our films, farming and machinery, decaying families and emerging capitalists, religion and universities.

Tess?

She was imprisoned by the old vindicators, the dark labor, the family dignity, the terrible religion. She was deprived of her voice, so desperate, so desperate.

Those old ones erode her will, those new ones trample on her flesh and blood. There are two scumbags in the movie, one is from the capital society, which is the oppression of the capital world, and it is material. One from the clerical society, spiritual. The combination of the two of them is the oppression of men. It's a noir movie

It's not even about the impermanence of fate, fate?

Tess has no destiny, she only has her own body and spirit, and this body is used as a sacrifice for sacrifice. This is the turn of the times, the old generation gets dignity, and the new generation gets capital. The bridge when they docked was Tess's blood.

The right to speak is hanging in the sky, "Why don't you exchange your beauty for good conditions and status?" "Your body is already filled with another soul"

These high-level nonsense have existed in human society for thousands of years.

There is only one Jane Eyre in the world, there are countless mute people in the world, and there is only one Tess in the world. She stabbed the shackles at the last stab, and fell asleep in the altar representing the primordial sun, the only time of peace, serenity, until she was taken away by the tall mounted police. To be brought to sacrifice, as the offering of the new age.

"But she's asleep, please wait a moment"

    A bitter soap opera. Really boring.

    Pity your hurt name, my heart is a bed that will give you rest

Tess quotes

  • Tess: We can sometimes make our souls leave our bodies.

    Dairyman Crick: How's that then, lady?

    Tess: You only have to lie on the grass at night and look straight up at some great star. And stare at it with all your might. And by and by, you feel you're falling into the sky, miles and miles from your body, which you don't seem to need at all.

  • Angel Clare: Tess! Why run away like that? Are you afraid?

    Tess: No, sir. Not of outdoor things, no.

    Angel Clare: But, you have your indoor fears, eh?

    Tess: I have, yes.

    Angel Clare: At what?

    Tess: I couldn't rightly say.

    Angel Clare: Of the milk turning sour? Fear of life in general?

    Tess: Yes, sir.

    Angel Clare: So have I. Very often. Life's a puzzle. Don't you think?

    Tess: Perhaps. Now, you've put it that way.
