Polanski and "Tess"

Why do I want to watch this, because I read a wonderful book??

"Tess" is actually classified as an erotic movie? ?

After reading, I called the scam. The whole movie does not even have a naked lens below the neck, which is a level that can be directly reviewed in your country. On the side, this book is old enough??

Back to the movie

Polanski really likes stubborn, masculine girls

"Tess" was filmed by Polanski to commemorate his late wife Sharontat. She once suggested that Polanski read "Tess of the Deborah" and thought it would be adapted into a good movie. The budget of the movie was overspend for a while, and even "tired" a photographer (who shot "2001 A Space Odyssey" and died suddenly)

The result is the best costume, best art direction and best photography of the Oscar that year, the scenery is like an oil painting, and the lens language is beautiful and subtle.

Polanski's exposure of love and hatred between men and women is also reflected in his other work, "Bitter Moon." My friend came to a conclusion after watching Ku Yue: To see if a person loves you, it depends on whether you are willing to take care of you after you are disabled. (This is really cruel??)

Talk about a few shocking shots

The female worker who also likes Angel (what an ironic name) said when she was asked to leave her hometown, "No one loves you more than Tess." She is sober and won't be tempted by a man's casual promise, even if it is someone she likes again.

The era of movies is also worth noting. When I saw the harvester, I sighed that the English countryside was really advanced. I was surprised by their superstitions when they saw the milkers believe that falling in love would make milk not make butter. Alek pursued Tess on a carriage, and then she and Angel were on the train while walking away. It symbolizes the decline of an era and the beginning of an industrial era.

Thinking about feminism in movies. I think that apart from feudal ethics, the notion of chastity that is harmful to others is the oppression of class on people.

Tess’s destiny is just like this window. Family accounted for a quarter, her own reasons accounted for a quarter, and two men accounted for one-half.

The parents who learned that the family was descended from a prominent nobleman became vain and drove Tess to no return. Rape her cousin, the family is rich, but the surname is bought. How much is a surname worth? 1000 pounds? No, you can buy it for 20 pounds. The poor father wanted to get rid of the surname "Deborwell". He knew that this title would bring nothing. If he knew his daughter's future fate, he might regret that he wanted to get in touch with the rich. But no way, the world revolves around the rich. ??

Later, does Alek's care of Tess also implied his lack of self-confidence in his identity? From the perspective of marriage, it is more appropriate for the run-down nobles to marry wealthy businessmen. But the bad thing is that she doesn't love him. On the contrary, Tess hated him. Because he destroyed her future, the possibility of another perfect ending became her eternal shadow. Not all lovers can withstand the test of each other's past. Polanski portrays love so real, how insignificant love is, like a candle in the wind, it will be blown out. Ideal love is nothing but a pure phantom.

What a satirical book

Angel hates nobles, but if he has read Marx seriously, how can he not know the plight of women, how can he not know the meaning of marriage to women. Tess is so innocent and brave. She can baptize her children by herself, file for divorce after Angel doesn't love him, and she can live without a secular perspective and pretend to be deaf in the face of rumors. However, God has tested her too much. After Angel abandoned her and left, Alek suddenly planned to take charge. I don't know how many people can resist the temptation, not to mention Tess compromised partly for the family.

If Tess can support herself and subsidize her family, whether through heavy physical work and not relying on men, will her destiny be different? I don't think so. A beautiful face is a bonus everywhere. But in the case of poor people, lack of protection, it has caused misfortune. Tess never wanted to exchange her beauty for anything, even if it was important to her life. The self-esteem she had always insisted on eventually became a knot in her heart. If she chooses not to tell Angel the truth, will she be able to live her life safely? But that is obviously not her, she will probably live in self-torture forever.

The same is true in life. Bad people never have a conscience, while pure people pay too much attention to their own purity, and they are anxious to do something that is not good.

It is said that morality restrains the lower class. However, this is not enough, the gender factor has to be included. A man can have a ridiculous past. He only needs to confess and wait for his lover's forgiveness, and the world will laugh. However, for a woman, not only does she fail to gain secular tolerance, she also has to wait for years for her lover's forgiveness, even after she is killed.

Under the multiple oppression of the religious sex class, Tess fragrant and perish.
