In another space, the camera moves from the street full of street style to the character's home, and pulls to a panoramic view through the close-up of Charles' hand chiseled stone, and introduces his work straight to the point - paleontologist, this time, he He suddenly decided to go to his girlfriend's house to propose marriage, so he took a carriage, accompanied by brisk, flowing silent music, and went to his girlfriend's house, and this lighthearted music was always with him in this part, bringing out the purity of his girlfriend. Lively character. In the marriage proposal scene, in the glass room, the girl in a pink dress under the shade of green is so beautiful that every audience is moved, and the character is quickly recognized by the audience.
The first time Sarah and Charles met was when Charles' fiancee, Tina, was going to the embankment. At first, Charles didn't want to go up, but when he found Sarah, he ran towards Sarah despite Tina's dissuasion. When Sarah hears his cry and turns to look at him, as in most other movies and even soap operas, the first encounters of the hero and heroine are in this pattern—music, slow motion, long, eternal eye contact. The misty drops of water and the hazy weather shrouded the two of them, adding to the mystery of Sarah, who was clad in black, for Charles. The first real close encounter between the male and female protagonists was on the sloping cliff. Although Charles needed a telescope to "pull" Sarah in front of him, the dense, vibrant green and bright sunlight actually symbolized that the two had already Close the distance of the soul.
When Sarah was kicked out by the landlord, she was painting on the steps of the house, which paved the way for her end and her own redemption. Afterwards, the old witch-like Mrs. Botany, who "accommodated" her, had emphasized her need for "people with integrity and discipline." Mrs. Poe was the embodiment of the repressed moral law of that era.
Later, Sarah painted a self-portrait with a candle in the room. Three "Is" appeared at the same time. The director raised the question of "Who am I" for Sarah again through the language of the camera lens. The shouts outside the door were processed to reverberate in the space The effect, it is like a footnote, reveals Sarah's spiritual world, her division and paranoia are revealed.
The relationship between Sarah and Charles in the screen space is from far to near, which represents the spiritual fit of a relationship after experiencing ups and downs. The secret and unruly of the soul, the two people in the real space confront each other naked for the first time when they appear above, and later, they study the script together on the bed, until Anna shouts wrong, and then Mike corrects her: "It's not David, I'm Mike .” This is an obvious, reverse double misunderstanding, symbolizing their deeper fiction and confusion, and suggesting that their separation has begun.
In the last scene in the real space, the cast and crew reunited to celebrate the completion of the film. Anna went upstairs, packed her things in front of the dresser, and inadvertently glanced at herself in the glasses. At this time, she seemed to wake up from her role. Came here, and finally realized that she was still Anna after all. Perhaps, it was at that moment that she made the decision to part ways with Mike. This pair of men and women living in an era of relative freedom did not end up like Victorian lovers who needed to cross the secular barriers. Such a happy ending. At the end, Sarah and Charles sailed through the bridge hole and sailed into the distance. The sunlight in the scene was very kind, and a small boat floated gently on the warm and calm water, which symbolized that after they passed through the dark tunnel of society and soul, their feelings were able to see the sun again. Finally able to move towards happiness. In reality, Anna quietly drove away, and the heartbroken Mike witnessed her leaving without saying goodbye. He couldn't help shouting "Sarah" to Anna's back. 's actions raise the question of who I am. Before that, the audience had also witnessed the scene where he stood alone in front of the window looking at him, and his reflection on the window also conveyed his confusion and division.
In addition, the black color of Sarah's clothes was mentioned earlier. In fact, not only was the choice of Sarah's clothes in that scene very accurate, but the staff in charge of the costumes in the whole film were very thoughtful, and the clothes prepared for Sarah were basically black. , dark green (the light in the classroom was lit when watching the film, so I saw dark green at that time), and the few changes in clothing were also concentrated in the back part of the film, while Tina's clothes were very lively and cute , I think this proves that the screenwriter and director actually don't agree with the role of Sarah. As far as the above-mentioned costume arrangement is concerned, they seem to prefer Tina.
When Mrs. Botany visited Tina's family, Sarah, Tina and Charles were standing in a triangle, suggesting that the three must be in a triangular relationship later (pictured below):

de • In the second volume of The Second Sex, Beauvoir cites Sartre's "half victim, half accomplice, like all people" to express the idea that women are complicit in their own oppressive conditions. In this film, Sarah's pursuit of an independent personality, an attempt to confirm her attitude towards the female subject status, has even gone to the point of being a bit extreme and morbid.
The theme of the film has been revealed on the title page of the literary works adapted from this film - "Any kind of liberation is to give back the human world and human relationship to oneself". In addition, although the play uses an exquisite structural symmetry, in the face of the two periods, the creators clearly agree with the distribution relationship between the spirit and the body in the classical period, and it is obvious that when Charles It turns out that Sarah is actually a virgin, and even though Sarah had lied to him on the issue with a Rashomon lie, he decides to marry her at all costs (even after being deeply hurt by Sarah and despairing) At any cost), and the previous plot did not explain that he and Tina had a love affair.
