"OSCAR&LUCINDA" (Oscar and Lucinda) came very timely. When I was tired of RALPH's expression and lost enthusiasm, it let me know that RALPH can also be cute.
An experience in his childhood made him afraid of water, thinking that water had a breath of death.
When he was a teenager, a series of events triggered by the Christmas pudding made him change his beliefs, leave his father, and become fatalistic ever since.
When he was in seminary, he became obsessed with gambling because of financial distress. Every time he won the money, he only took the necessary part of his life and donated the rest to the church. When he realized that he was still addicted to gambling when he didn't need money so much, he began to blame himself and banished himself to New South Wales.
Destiny made a serious joke with him. On the boat to New South Wales, he met another avid gambler-Lucinda.
Oscar is a simple child. He fell in love with Lucinda, but thought Lucinda has always been in love, huh? ? Priest. Volunteer, want to give it? ? Send it to the glass church to gain Lucinda's trust.
The road was rough and almost lost his life. Upon arrival, Oscar was tempted by the widow Marked. This woman has been preparing to borrow a young man to get rid of the current difficulties in her life. Poor Oscar, pure Oscar, he intends to take responsibility for Marked.
Full of regret, he returned to the glass church to confess. Not wanting the boat to crack, he sank into the river with the glass church.
When reading books before, I felt that the ending Peter Carey arranged for Oscar was very miserable, even a little ridiculous and stupid. But in the movie, watching Oscar struggle in embarrassment, he finally failed to get rid of his fate, and the shackles he put on him.
A good story, I told it so dull, sweat. . .
