It's not class that blocks love

This film is very slow, but fortunately it is not slower than Ang Lee, and the director mixed flashbacks in the main story, which makes the story more watchable, plus the beauty of the hero and heroine, it is easy to ignore the progress bar.

I didn't read it very carefully. At the beginning, I roughly guessed the story. In the middle, I was wondering why Freddie was angry and why Hester committed suicide. By the way, the thought of Anna Karenina kept flashing in my mind in the second half. Especially when you see the suspension of the lying rail, you can't help but think that this is a tribute to Tolstoy.

It is said that freddie is a rude and rude retired pilot in the original book. An extramarital affair and the polish of class differences can really highlight the dramatic tension. But in Hirst's version of freddie, he probably didn't focus on this class difference. Because of his strong personal temperament, he is even more elegant than the heroine!

The following are my personal speculations and brains about the movie (don't argue with me, I will bite people):

Given that Hirst's classmates can't act in class conflicts, I am more inclined to understand this show that freddie lives in the past Man, hester wants to get rid of the past and yearns for a new life with freddie. Breaking up is the only and doomed ending for this pair of grudges.

At the beginning, he must have been blinded by the beauty and body of Dousen. The naked body is so beautiful, and the simulated war scene with his companions is so cute. Freddie played by Higgins is a charming, affectionate, lovely and cheerful big boy. Until later in the film, Hester told her husband that Freddie had been living in a world before 1940. For me, the role of freddie actually reflects the confusion of a large number of people after the war. For pilots, flying combat is the routine of life, and a peaceful life makes them overwhelmed. Some people will be like Captain America. After waking up, they will continue to devote themselves to a new life after a short period of decommissioning. Some people will be like Freddie, like an old man, and miss their previous life. They are struggling between the past and the present. On the one hand, they know that life must move forward, and on the other hand, they cannot give up the glory of the past. Therefore, in the play, on the one hand, freddie understands that he should find a job (he did too), but on the other hand, he indulges in the pub. It can also be shown from the quarrel between him and hester in the art gallery. He is not only interested in highclass things There is resistance, and at the slightest blow he will immediately retreat into his former glory.

In short, freddie is such a person who has struggled to move from the cracks of the past to reality.

And hester, I think she is eager to get rid of the past (and the normal life of the judge) and eager to start a new life, in other words, she is going to the future. Her love for freddie is cautious and unreserved, and she understands that this is the price she chooses to be with freddie. Hester said repeatedly about her father in the contact drama, "You speak like my father" and "don't reprimand me with my dad's tone of voice", plus the argument about passion. Apparently hester longs for passion, hates moderation without error, she longs for a love, a love that is full of heart and soul. So she faced her husband's questioning what that kid could give you, she said love, and himself. On the one hand this is indeed what freddie can afford, on the other hand this is what hester wants.

Different people in life are marked with different marks. It is not clothes, but skin color, which cannot be taken off when worn on the body (stolen from Deng Zhe, self-defeating). It determines who you are and what kind of future you go to. Although the magic of love brings two people from different directions together, when the spark of collision burns out, life forces them to face the cruel foreshadowing laid in the first place. Freddie can't get rid of the past, he can only slowly grope along the old track. Hester's suicide is the fuse and the last straw that broke the camel's back. Hester's love makes him overwhelmed. Hester wants a new life, and she bases her hopes on freddie for the beginning of a new life, but freddie's unexpected behavior makes her feel stressed and helpless.

Freddie's tears were the best proof of their true love, but it was love that kept them apart.

Really, it's not class that blocks love, it's script.

The Deep Blue Sea quotes

  • Hester Collyer: Lust isn't the whole of life, but Freddie is, you see, for me. The whole of life. And death. So, put a label on that, if you can.

  • Mrs. Elton: A lot of rubbish is talked about love. You know what real love is? It's wiping someone's arse or changing the sheets when they've wet themselves. And letting them keep their dignity so you can both go on.
