This article is divided into two parts: the first half is for those who have not read the book, and the second half is for those who have read the book. I don't know much about it, so please enlighten me if I am wrong.
1. Kan Dashan
This part is mainly to let friends who haven't read the book to understand the main content and artistic ideas of the book without reading the book, so that everyone can easily pretend to be forced. It would be better if it can arouse everyone's desire to read. .
When talking about a book with others, we must first know the general situation of the author. OK, now follow me: Dostoevsky. As soon as the author's name is revealed, it is very 666. After all, the name is so long that it is not easy to remember. Of course, it is also possible to call him Tuo directly. He is a Russian, his father is a doctor but he has severe epilepsy (the "Fang Siqi's Paradise of First Love" that appeared in the recent hot search also mentioned the person who Dostoevsky thinks is closest to the Christian type , is a natural person who cannot be socialized due to certain factors, that is, only non-social people are considered human). He was imprisoned for anti-serfdom, returned from exile, and went to gamble. He was finally forced to write "Crime and Punishment" to pay off his debts. He died unexpectedly while preparing to write the second part of "The Brothers Karamazov". Here is a brief gossip about his life. Some people say that Tolstoy represents the breadth of Russian literature, and Dostoevsky represents the depth of Russian literature. To quote Gide: "Reading Dostoevsky is a lifetime event."
The novel "White Night" is a story about a goddess living with a spare tire for four nights.
On the first night, the male protagonist of the spare tire was hanging out on the street as usual, after all, he was a single dog. He seemed to cry when he saw a beautiful woman, and his feelings of pity for Xiangxiyu immediately flooded into his heart, but he didn't expect that the goddess and the heroine saw him walking towards him, and the goddess turned her head and left. The male protagonist of the spare tire was so frustrated that he was not ready to keep up. Unexpectedly, there would be someone molesting the goddess at this time, and the male protagonist of the spare tire immediately came to a hero to save the beauty. The goddess let go of her guard against the male protagonist of the spare tire, and agreed with the male protagonist of the spare tire to chat again tomorrow.
The next night, the male protagonist of the spare tire happily went to the appointment and saw the goddess far away. The goddess saw that the male protagonist of the spare tire was going to run again. The male protagonist of the spare tire was very sad to catch up with the goddess and asked the goddess if she did not want to see me. The goddess said no, I'm afraid you think I'm a frivolous woman who dates a man as soon as she meets him. But I have to come here again. (Good-handedly want to refuse and welcome) The spare tire male protagonist said why do I look at you like this? I'm very happy when you talk to me, how can I think of you bad? The male protagonist of the spare tire said that he is a single dog, thinking wildly on the road every day, and finally meeting the goddess who is willing to talk to him is a huge gift. The goddess said that my grandmother was strict with me, she wouldn't let me go out, and she pinned me to her skirt with a pin and looked at me. It could be said that I was a house girl. One day a male god came to rent a room in my house, and when I saw the male god, I couldn't do it. The male god also loved me, but the male god said that he had no money and wanted to go out for a year to earn money and then marry me again. I've been here for days and nights just waiting for my man because he's back recently but he didn't come to me and I'm so sad. The spare tire male protagonist said that I will help you write a letter to him and let him come. The goddess said good wow wow. After the spare tire male protagonist finished writing, the goddess said that I had already written it at home in advance, and you must help me deliver it to you.
On the third night, the male protagonist of the spare tire accompanied the goddess to continue to wait for the male god. After the appointed time, the male god has not come yet. The male protagonist of the spare tire is ready to express his feelings to the goddess. The goddess said: Shh, don't talk. don't fall in love with me. I am waiting for my man. The spare tire male protagonist had to say, I think the male god will definitely come tomorrow. I'll wait with you tomorrow.
On the fourth night, the male protagonist of the spare tire continued to accompany the goddess and other male gods. It didn't come until the appointed time. The spare tire male protagonist said: Goddess, don't cry, I love you. come with me! The goddess said: Then I will try to fall in love with you. Just as the male protagonist of the spare tire happily pulled the goddess' little hand and was about to leave, hey, the male god appeared. The goddess immediately gave up and hugged her male god, forgetting the spare tire male protagonist.
In the early morning of the fifth day, the male protagonist of the spare tire received a letter from the goddess. In the letter, the goddess said: I believe you will forgive me, after all, you love me. The spare tire was angry and anxious, and finally comforted himself: as long as you live better than me, it's no big deal.
The story is over.
Second, seriously
Talk about the difference between the novel and the movie "White Night"
As far as the two different art forms of novels and movies are concerned, novels are abstract and give readers a great imagination space, and many details are not explained; while movies are concrete, and the plot processing reflects the director's own understanding. Therefore, novels and movies cannot always be completely consistent, nor can they meet the psychological expectations of every preconceived reader. But as far as the novel "White Night" is concerned, the adaptation of the film that won the Silver Lion Award at the 22nd Venice Film Festival is undoubtedly a success.
The following points list the differences between movies and novels in several aspects:
1. Theme idea
The novel and the movie are connected. From the novel to the movie, they all tell the selfless sacrifice of a visionary who puts himself in the dust when facing love. In the novel, the dream of beautiful and dreamy is pushed to the extreme. He does not get to the bottom of the ins and outs, but only a few words give readers sufficient room for imagination. The movie clarifies many details, the image of "I" is clear, and the story line between "I" and her has increased and decreased, which shows the director's own understanding of the novel.
2. Character image
1. Mario
(1) Mario in the novel said that his daily pleasure is to wander the streets alone, without friends. In the movie, he would go to the movies and dances, and said he likes to make friends.
(2) In the novel, Mario is not good at words, and he often speaks incoherently with Nasjanka, which fully demonstrates the embarrassment of a thousand-year-old diaosi who finally met the goddess. In the movie, Mario is assertive and dares to express himself. He also hopes to take some measures such as directly tearing up the letter, hoping to lead Nastenka to like him.
(4) The storyline of a woman who likes Mario is added to the movie, but the novel does not.
(5) Mario is a coward in the novel. The most obvious point is that in the ending of the novel, Mario wanted to hold grudges against Nastenka, and to take revenge on Nastenka, but finally chose blessing. It is not shown in the movie, only his sad back is left.
2. Nasjanka
There is no change in the character of the characters, they are all selfish and greedy but emotionally sincere women. The ending of the novel is that Nastenka wrote a letter to Mario asking for forgiveness, and the ending of the movie is that Nastenka apologized when they parted.
3. The tenant (the lover of Nastenka)
In the novel, the tenant said that because he wanted to go out to earn money, he had to make enough money after a year before coming back to marry her. In the movie, the tenant says that he has to deal with things so he has to leave for a year, implying that he has a family.
4. The woman who has a crush on Mario
A sideline added to the movie. This woman has been observing Mario silently. After seeing that Mario had a conflict with Nastenka, she took the initiative to date Mario, and was played by Mario and still defended him.
5. Other characters have not changed much
3. Storyline
1. Background
The film changes the setting from Russia, the home of Dostoevsky in the novel, to Venice, the home of Italian director Wisconti.
2. Clues
(1) The novel is told in five time points, four nights and one early morning, while the movie tells the whole story in only three nights.
(2) There is an image that runs through the film—stray dogs, which do not exist in the novel. This is joking—because it echoes the meaning of being single in today's context.
The stray enough also symbolizes Mario's fate to a large extent, and the film begins with a scene where Mario communicates with a stray dog. Because Mario saw Nastenka, he ignored the stray dogs. At the end of the film, when Nastenka chose the tenant to leave Mario, the stray dog appeared next to Mario again, accompanying Mario to the end of the screen. It also symbolizes that the lonely fantasist will finally return to reality after the shattering of illusions. All of this seems to have never happened before meeting Nastenka.
3. Other
There is no plot novel in which Mario takes Nastenka to the bar to dance. In the movie, Mario is a pursuer of positive love. He tries to open Nastenka's heart through his actions and let Nastenka accept it. he.
It rained the second night Mario saw Nastenka, but the novel didn't mention the weather.
Mario caught a cold because of the rain, which is not mentioned in the novel.
To sum up, the movie strengthens the dramatic conflict and intensifies the character contradiction in order to increase the story, while the novel avoids the dark side to create a lyrical dream from beginning to end. Both are undoubtedly successful, but definitely not the same.
Finally, I recommend everyone to read this novel "White Night" that can be read in an hour. The movie "White Night" of the same name can be watched in an hour and a half.
Quote the beginning and end of the novel.
... God created this king
Could it be to give your heart
Be with you for a short moment...
