seems like this is the first film I've even looked at the credits so carefully. There are a few points to say:
(1) I began to feel ashamed that I did not learn British history well. Just one book
didn't know that the couple who came out later was a man and woman dressed like a Frenchman. It was Queen Mary &her husband(forgive me ,I forget his name...the locker?) Anyway, the time was already chaotic, if you didn't have any common sense, the characters would have made your head big after a few scenes...
(2) Toby Stephens Dead or alive just didn't find it... From a chronological point of view, he appeared between the Russian sailors and the servants. During this period, I only saw two drama actors (I'm sure not him); pedestrians who didn't even show their faces calling for help (could it be him?) If not... I can only say that this Toby Stephens is not another Toby Stephens~
(3) Orlando, the protagonist played by the famous Snow Queen in "Narnia 1", I remember seeing that tilda swinton was teaching philosophy in a well-known college (which I forgot...) ...) is coming. It feels strong and powerful. Simply put, orlando is a youthful, immortal, gender-deranged guy. Have been thinking, since Elizabeth I said to him: "Don't accept your fate, don't grow old" began a fantasy life? Or, he was born like this... Be sure to do research on the original work! Maybe it was already known that it was a woman disguised as a man, so the first few paragraphs looked weird. At the beginning of the chapter, his figure running on the bank of the river - relatively grasped the masculine characteristics; the last little bit of drinking with Khan, the performance was not bad, quite a bit of the double energy of Dad's classmates party... Also, from time to time, she would stare at the camera and say a few words to the camera, I'm afraid... However, the effect is really good! A completely nude scene,
I feel that the actor is very maternal, natural, not pornographic. Another close-up, I saw the age spots, and I thought of my grandma... (Don't shoot me..)
(4) Ruth's fiance in "Titanic" Billy Zane played the orlando kid his dad. (That's right, why do you go around like this...) This one is very exotic, and it's very enchanting when you smile~ ~ There are no new movies recently, and it seems that I have gained a lot of weight.
(5) The soundtrack is very special.... nice! ! ! ! The singer at the beginning of the film and the angel floating in the sky at the end (almost a fight with Fan Wei, I almost rolled off the bed...) were played by the same person. Falsetto tenor? Because I think the image of the castrat singer should be more stalwart... Most of the music is very ethereal, very exotic, and a little weird. That's right!
(6) Clothing - gorgeous. I didn't study the history of European clothing, which made me dizzy. Sometimes it's even funny. The 1600-1610's big pleated men's collars, and the women's collars tied up like Snow White -- all look interesting. Just like the unfortunate character Colin Firth played in "Shakespeare in Love" - a big pleated collar, with pearl earrings... That sentiment is no less than the big braids in China... It's a good match... and that A blue skirt, which looks full from the front and flat from the side... It turns out that the keel can be made like this!
(7) That Russian lady is very beautiful... Haha
... After talking about the superficial, I also talked about it in depth.
In the original foreign film professional introductory textbook borrowed a few days ago, "orlando" is used as a case. In the section of women in movies, it introduces female director sally potter and her representative works. The screenshot of the movie in the textbook is a photo of orlando and his lover hugging and lying on a big white bed (orlando's eyes staring at the camera...).
how to say? Is it more feminist? orlando was once a man , worshipped male power , rejected his fiancée , and said " men should do things according to their hearts " ; " women can not be trusted " . As a confident rich man, proposed to Miss Russia, saying "You are mine. Because I cannot survive without you." Of course rejected, just as he turned a woman and rejected Archduke Harry 100 years later. When he became a woman, he encountered a lot of injustice of gender discrimination - something he never imagined when he was a boy. For example: the family property needs to be handed over to the husband or son; the Queen of England promulgated the law "Because of your gender, you are not destined to die for the country like a man. But a single lady like you should give all your family property to the war of the country. , unless you have a husband or son.";
There are also salons, who are not very outstanding, but give the ideal woman all kinds of names "should never argue with her father, brother, husband, son" and other three obedience and four virtues. The film teases all of this in a playful tone. When orlando brought his daughter back to the mansion he lost because of being a woman a hundred years later, he looked at his portrait and mocked the world in a high-profile manner with a calm state of mind? The whole film can be viewed as a serious burlesque, because of the many etiquettes that were taken for granted at the time - it's incredible to watch now! Just like the Mad King George III doctors were not allowed to talk to the king, the patient. Looking, hearing, asking, and asking, is it ridiculous that "asking" is forbidden? There are similar details. I recommend everyone to watch this film.
