It has nothing to do with sex and love, Florence is the hunter of self-life

Seeing all the film reviews are in a mess, how to watch movies with this kind of comprehension

Is the reason for the ending of the emotion of the heroine and the heroine is the indifference of the heroine?

If you still think so, close the page and watch the movie three times

Paul Uccello "Hunting in the Forest"

To understand the heroine, you must first understand the painting by which she healed Edward's mother Paul Uccello's "Hunting in the Woods"

Uccello is committed to the study of perspective painting, as he said,
"Don't describe what you see in front of you, you must describe what you see in your heart"
Only from this perspective can we understand the growth and emotional needs of some movie heroines

The plot of the movie is very simple. The well-born female protagonist falls in love with the country male protagonist at first sight, one is a classical quartet, and the other is a Chuck Bailey fan of rock n roll. It is recommended to resolutely terminate this marriage and return to the country to become a video store owner. The female protagonist remarried and gave birth to a child. In her twilight years, she fulfilled her promise with the male protagonist and held a farewell concert at the Wigmore Concert Hall.

After 45 years of absence, in the concert hall, they also naturally transformed into audiences and artists on stage.

Florence's growth was simultaneously wrapped in the shadow of patriarchy and his strong desire for independence

The first segment: The film begins with a newly married male and female host, the atmosphere in the suite is embarrassing, the male lead is cramped, and the female lead is nervous

When the hostess said that she met a new boy for the first time and wanted to invite tea at home, her father's actions after entering the house were very ambiguous.

Interspersed with the suggestion of the heroine's father and the account of the hero's family, then it leads to the scene of men and women meeting

The beginning of the chapter is the suggestion of the heroine’s father and the account of the hero’s family, and then it leads to the scene of the acquaintance of men and women.

In the conversation, the hostess told the host that she bought a train ticket when she was 13 years old, and since then she feels confident when her world is fully opened.

Like her name, the female name Florence itself has strong feminism and stream of consciousness implications.

The growth of the female protagonist is exactly like this, which simultaneously contains the shadow of the father’s power control and the strong desire to break free from the parent’s will.

Florence's description of his mother after learning of Edward's mother's brain injury

During the growth period of Florence, there was a high probability of telling the mother about the embarrassment between herself and the father, but the mother might not agree with it or deliberately ignore it, because the father represented absolute power in the family, which led to the wonderful relationship between the hostess and the mother. .

When Florence revealed the tension of the newly-married to the godfather, when the godfather made the suggestion of "talk to your mother", Fuchs reacted with a mocking expression.

Another interesting detail is that when Florence read the sex love marriage aloud, the sister broke in first, followed by the mother. This is a very interesting setting. Boldly guess whether the younger sister, who seems to be too precocious, suffers from her father's intrusion like her sister.

Because the mother didn't care about the sister's conversation and the seemingly anxious state at all, and when the mother turned and left, the sister's closed expression showed the lack of the mother's role in her role.

The choice of Edward is Florence's humiliation and protest against the power represented by his father.

The first acquaintance of the male and female protagonist, the male protagonist looks like a bad boy, and the life form of the female protagonist is completely two worlds, which inspires her desire to conquer.

When the male protagonist was selected by the female protagonist’s eyes, his eyes experienced consternation, temptation, and surprise in a few seconds of performance. A poor boy could meet the princess, and the princess actively expressed his desire to approach. Glad to accept, there is no other choice.

The heroine's eyes are very positive

Florence's answer when he answered why his sister liked Edward

Edward is an ordinary boy in the English country, without a good class and origin, completely different from the upper-class gentleman

It happens to be such an identity feature that makes Florence determine that this is the best humiliation and protest against patriarchy

This is the interpretation of the painting by Edward's mother when Florence brought Edward's mother "Hunting in the Woods"

This is probably also the subtle expression of the director's set of blue underwear and skirts for the heroine.

Mother Edward is like Florence’s spiritual mentor, as said in the film "You told me a lot of things I don’t know."

In the film, the only person who sees through the soul of Ephraim is also the mother of love. Here, when Edward's father asks his son's girlfriend, and mentions Florence, the connotation of the male protagonist's mother's eyes can be seen. The look in his eyes was like saying, "How can my stupid son handle such an uneasy girl?"

It is hard to say that Florence really loves Edward. One is that Edward was chosen from the beginning to act as the prey role of the overthrow of power, and the other is the dialogue with (probably) the role of the godfather when he is about to get married. The joy of expressing Charles' admiration and the expectation of concealing the fact of the engagement from the band show that her love for Edward is not simply a girl's love.

Finally Edward said on the beach, "You need a husband if you think you are, and I became the first fool to be hooked."

This is the fact that the heroine does not love Edward, but controls the subject.

Edward's crude hormones provoked Florence's sexual fears and protests

Florence and Charles later had three children, indicating that she was not indifferent

Edward is full of hormonal love, and the imperative patriarchy in sex aroused Florence's sexual fear

The heroine has been in the shadow of her father since she was a child, and her natural independent and strong personality naturally resists patriarchal instructions.

This memory appeared twice in the father’s tone, which was a completely paternalistic command, Florence had obvious resistance on his face.

After a memory, Florence tried to reveal the secret to Edward

Edward, who is hormonally dizzy, did not get the heroine's heart

Can't stop and untie the hand of the skirt

Especially here Edward’s patriarchal command "just stand up", "turn around", etc.

And personally dissolve an intimate relationship

When I saw the male protagonist taking off the female protagonist’s underwear and calling her name, I felt that Fr’s father molested her like this, right?

The director used a lot of side details to express the heroine's resistance, such as the toes, and the pushing and resistance of the hands.

The male protagonist in this process is also very unbearable, much like an invader

In this process, many details show that the heroine wants to talk, but the hero does not understand, love has become the biggest obstacle

Especially when showing the male protagonist’s sex, the details of the hand are often enlarged. The hand is the most powerful part of the human body. It can represent any intruder, especially the male. And her father’s tool of infringement on her is also hand

During this process, it was seen that two people could not communicate well at all, and their self-talking state of communication provided the foundation when they met.

○ The first encounter between the male and female protagonist, the male protagonist just wanted to find someone to tell him that he had obtained the first degree in history

○ When the heroine went to visit the heroine, the heroine wanted to tell the hero that her wish was to perform in a quartet, but the heroine had no intention of listening, so she eagerly asked what degree the heroine had obtained

○ When newly married, the male protagonist often expresses "I love you", and the female protagonist looks expectant and excited, and when the male protagonist is about to hug each other, the micro expression of the female protagonist turns to disappointment and frustration.

So when the male protagonist is furious and irritable after failing to untie the female protagonist’s skirt, love is tied to death.

After completing the transfer of patriarchy, Florence will completely control his life

At the tennis court, Florence used Edward to subvert his father’s arrogance and get rid of his control of power.

From father to Edward, the heroine controlled the transfer of power

The female protagonist surprises the male protagonist and confirms whether the male protagonist is happy, she is completely in charge of the role

When Florence was at Edward’s house, he was completely actively acting as the heroine of the extended family, and the father’s parents soon realized

The female protagonist is expressing her life’s wishes, and the gentle white rabbit in the male protagonist’s heart suddenly becomes very strange

Florence is strong when choosing a dress

Florence at this stage suddenly seemed to be hanging up. It was different from the state of fear and struggle when they were newly married. He was completely the conductor of fate.

She hopes that the hero will be happy for what she has done, and direct sister Edward and her mother to clean up the kitchen, and firmly believe that she will perform in Wigmore Hall.

The look in his eyes is the desire to dominate everything, the freedom after completing the hunt of Edward, a power transfer person.

Reunion at the concert hall 45 years later

In the final recital hall, Edward was seated in row C, as agreed 45 years ago, and praised Bravo after the performance was accepted.

The picture is very moving, but I don’t think this is for Edward’s performance, but Florence’s life wish.

She has such a wish that even if it was not Edward at the time, but anyone else, she would receive such promises and gifts.

Choosing Charles is the end of the patriarchal discourse. There is no hunting and hunting is an equal relationship in life

Florence orders Charles to come back

Florence's instructions to Charles

The role setting of Charles is very interesting. The only male in the quintet has obvious facial injuries and a feminine appearance. He is a male who is completely opposite to Edward's maleness.

However, he has deep insight into Florence, and he is another spiritually connected person outside of Edward's mother.

This can be seen in Florence’s dialogue with the conductor and the two at the 29th minute of the film’s opening.

Charles gains insight into Florence's desire and control

From this dialogue mode, I can imagine that she can tell Charles, "I don't like this, please be gentle and start with ***..." etc., order to make yourself feel safe.

Charles will not be ashamed and anxious to fade the clothes of the heroine, but he will certainly be able to keenly capture the tension and resistance of Florence facing men, understand the secrets in her heart, and slowly build trust. Maybe this is also how he can be with Flo. The reason why Lens finally combined and had three children.

In addition, people with knowledge of psychology can also understand that Florence still has a continuation of childhood injuries in the relationship with Edward. The victims have subconscious choices and preferences for injuries. When Charles arrived, the wounds on his face and his cold face were all like another story (completely different from Edward of the Sunshine Boy). At this time, did Florence also break away from the mentally victimized role? Change to the role of controlling the victim. (More far-fetched, but logical)

In the end Edward chased Florence on the beach, guilt, self-blame, wronged, and wanted to recover, he did nothing wrong.

When he realized that he was not the heroine’s medicine, he refused to go back to the hotel with the heroine

To love someone is to dig into her fear, right?

There is no unreasonable alienation, indifference and resistance are another language of demand expression

The literary sketch of the movie is very strong, delicate and ingenious, and the director is also very delicate

Just leave the most beautiful moment on the beach away from the hustle and bustle

    British sketches, most of the laughs in the front are frequent. It's a pity that the rhythm is not well done, and the overall proportions are out of balance, making the moving drama behind very deliberate. Ronan is indeed one of the most acting actresses in the younger generation.

    Beautifully shot and acted.

On Chesil Beach quotes

  • Florence Ponting: You know I love you.

    Edward Mayhew: Still!

    Florence Ponting: I want to spend my life with you. And you feel the same. We love each other and we can set each other free. Edward, it must be obvious to you by now that I'm...

    Edward Mayhew: Florence, what is it?

    Florence Ponting: That I'm pretty hopeless. No, I'm absolutely hopeless at sex. I'm no good at it. I don't seem to need it like other people, like you do. I might change, but I can't imagine it. If I don't say this now, we'll always be struggling with it. It's going to cause you a lot of unhappiness and me too.

  • Florence Ponting: We can live by our own rules too, Edward. I can say this because I know you love me. We don't have to be like everyone else. We could live together and... and so... and no one would know what we did or didn't do. We'd be together and if you wanted, really wanted, that's to say, whenever it happened, and of course, it would happen, I'd understand. More than that, I'd want it because I want you to be happy, and free. I'd never be jealous as long as I knew that you loved me.
