I haven't read the original book, I just came in after watching some video introductions and Tom's comments on this film.
At first, I didn't quite understand it, but I didn't understand the content of the film until later. The whole film seems to have experienced more than half a year of love time, but in fact it was only a day's work.
From the suicide of the female lead to the departure of the male lead the next day.
At first when I saw suicide, I thought it was a woman who could not bear the pressure of cheating and difficult choices. However, when I saw William's attitude, I found something wrong. This old gentleman has a very good temperament. A woman, his beloved wife, with all the dignity she deserves, even though hester has shown with her attitude that she is going to make up her mind about this undignified emotional life, and she has put her thoughts on him in a direct way. My husband, William still suppressed all his anger under his reason. He resolved this matter with a calm attitude. He did not express all his anger as I imagined, which gave me a deeper understanding of the gentleman.
His cultivation does not allow him to do that. Even if Hester is dissatisfied with his current life, he still expresses his refusal subtly and mildly. Compared with Freddie here, Freddie's emotions are clearly expressed from his attitude. He will Yelling on the street, and even in exhibitions, news he couldn't accept made him storm out the door and staunchly refuse to go home.
Freddie is not a person who has lived in the upper class since he was a child. He was born on the battlefield. His stage is full of gunshots and dust. He found his meaning on the battlefield, so when the war ended, Freddie felt at a loss. He fears new beginnings while trying to find the right place in his new life.
Freddie is William's golf friend. The whole film tells us from many aspects, from the conversation between Hester and William, from william's attitude, etc. In the end, what Freddie left to Hester when he left was a set of rent worth thirteen and four months. Golf equipment, this echo makes people happy.
Freddie is a retired soldier. He is fundamentally different from William. He does not have a comfortable and high-end house, nor a high income. What he has is a fiery and passionate attitude towards life, and he has a vibrant heart. .
Passion, passion for life, it's like a flint thrown into Hester's grey life, Hester may be a young lady from a good family, she married William and started a life as plain as water Drinking tea, chatting with certain ladies, or playing cards, Hester's apparent dislike of tea parties is obvious to all in the film, which shows that she yearns for something different.
Freddie is what she yearns for.
Unlike her husband, Freddie doesn't stop at cultivation when confronted with her beautiful face or even her inviting language, he's enthusiastic, he may not be good at fancy words, but the days with Freddie are fun and full of It feels different from the past, new and exciting.
Hester is like a fish without water, and Freddie happens to be a wide sea.
Freddie comes from the battlefield, he often faces the choice of life and death, his life is always on the line, but this does not stop Hester's beauty from touching him, such a beautiful girl, Freddie fell deeply in love, Hester Passionate about this love.
Even if Hester doesn't like Freddie's talk about war and doesn't understand the fun of soldiers, she'll even be at a loss for songs she's never heard at those parties, but she loves Freddie so much, she's even willing to do it for him give life.
However, the cruelty comes from the difference in life experience, just like the quarrel between the two people in the exhibition, Freddie said a joke, but Hester didn't find it funny, the world they saw was different from the beginning, so they can't be in one thing now. Cognitive consensus.
Freddie felt that he was being insulted by words, he was angry and distressed, he loved Hester, he loved her so much, but she was so far away from him sometimes.
It was Hester's suicide that was scratching the surface of their relationship.
Freddie once said that they love each other, but the way they love each other is different, Freddie said he never asked to be loved, and Hester needs to be loved, she begged Freddie to love her, care about her, be with her more.
Freddie felt that they needed to respect each other as equals, and the hierarchical difference was a hurdle in his heart, it was there, and whenever Freddie was about to move forward absentmindedly, he would always remind him that it exists.
In the end, Freddie's decision seemed ruthless and cruel, but it actually belonged to a man's decision. He was a man, and he couldn't hesitate like a woman. He decided to go to South America and use reality to cut off the love between him and Hester.
I love the tone of the whole film, the color, the luminosity, the imagery, the soundtrack, beautiful with a touch of apprehension, gently pushing the plot, this film shows metaphors from all over the place, from the neighbors, from William, from Hester And Freddie, from the people on the street, from william's mother and Freddie's friends.
I can't understand the feeling of experiencing love at different levels, and I can't understand the despair that I love but know it's impossible, because I'm not a noble, just a commoner, I can't see the world above, and I can't understand it, this may also be a kind of helplessness , we have seen too many bloody movies where love triumphs over equal status, but it is not as impressive as this final separation.
A love that has no result in the end, two lovers whose status is never at the same level.
The choice between the devil and deep blue sea
is a dilemma.
Finally, let's talk about the final scene, the peaceful morning, Hester and Freddie's goodbye. Their goodbyes took up a short period of time in the whole movie. The director spent that time to describe the short parting this morning. Hester wiped Freddie for Freddie. Shoes, breakfast, and they thank each other, say goodbye, and finally Hester weeps, then opens the curtains and looks out.
I thought of two contrasts for the action of opening the curtains. One is the opening of the film, under the dim sky, Hester stands alone at the window, with a bit of despair and loneliness, and the other is Freddie bringing Hester home for the first time. , a small house that is not as luxurious as her original family. Freddie smiled when he opened the curtains, and the sun shone on him, illuminating the whole space. The act of opening the curtains may herald hope, the hope of a new day.
At least, Hester was smiling the last time he stood by the window.
Then there is Tom, I just googled the original script, because a friend of mine who read it said that there is a big difference between the original and the character he played. I didn't find the full version, but I read some excerpts, Tom and the retired soldier in the description It's really different, there's no such thing as shallow culture and rudeness as a soldier. His own temperament and role are mixed together. If it weren't for the plot, the difference between the levels could not be seen, so in fact Tom's temperament ruined the important sense of difference in the whole film. 【hemoptysis】
