It's as refreshing as reading a Russian novel. The heroine Jane is an inventor's daughter who pretends to be a widow. She encounters Ander Tolstoy (yes, Tolstoy), a military student, on the train, and gradually falls in love. In order to help her father get the money for the logging machine project, Jane seduced the military academy principal. Unexpectedly, both the sixty-year-old principal and the twenty-year-old military academy took the initiative to show their true feelings towards the girl... The principal went to the hostess' house to propose marriage, and saw the military academy halfway. Force him to go with him and help him read poetry... This is probably only half of the plot, and the later is more ups and downs (playing Figaro's wedding, "assassination", exile)... The characters are more emotional... Sure enough, the Russians can do it The thing... The place where the heroine's secret hidden for 20 years and the son's mask were revealed later, I was a little numb, I could probably guess it vaguely, but the author didn't say it clearly. That's how it feels to read that Nelly is the Duke's daughter in "The Wounded and Insulted"! The camera movement is great, and the directing and writing are great. The rhythm is perfect, two hours and forty minutes will not feel boring. The principal drank too much vodka to make a scene of the whole pancake festival, and finally the whole place was on fire, and it was combined with fireworks. That part was like a song. The two close-up shots are very impressive. First, the heroine came to Tolstoy to confess her feelings, tempted him but felt guilty. The camera only captured Tolstoy's facial expression, the look of panic and temptation; One is the ending, the vicissitudes of Ander Tolstoy looked at Jane who was leaving in a carriage, and the camera cut to the forest of Siberia. Ah... I also breathed a sigh of relief, why is love always full of regrets, but why is tragedy so beautiful?
