Love picking

This novel by Sarah Waters is set in Victorian England. She put all the things she loved about that era in this book. Sarah Waters is a scholarly writer. She has been studying until her Ph.D. Her education has prompted her to be meticulous in every book of hers. The underground publishing and dissemination of Victorian pornographic novels in this Fingersmith, the gloomy London slums, and the scenes of the lunatic asylum, padded walls, gay prisons, various penalties, and popular gentlemen conspiring to treat themselves The wife was imprisoned in a lunatic asylum to obtain her property. The lunatic asylum was full of Mrs. XX, Mrs. XX, etc., and they all gave detailed and true descriptions. The people in the lunatic asylum were unable to escape because they were deprived of all their property and even clothing that could cover their bodies. These details are obtained by Sarah Waters carefully reviewing historical data.

Sarah Waters' research topics are homosexual works since the late 19th century. She said that gay writers, such as John Addington Symonds, traced back to ancient Greek men, while lesbian writers traced back to Sappho. Sarah Waters changed a new method, reorganized the historical data of the 19th century, and showed the life of lesbians from another perspective and various typical scenes. A very important drama in the TV series, that is, wearing a "corset", Maude is naked in front of Susan, which undoubtedly greatly stimulated the erotic desire between the two. The theme of "corsets" is also something that writers love in the 19th century.

Fingersmith is a word used to refer to pickpocket in the 19th century. It describes people who are extremely talented in using any finger-related skills. For example, wordsmith refers to the word master. Fingersmith is most often used to refer to a very clever thief who has never been caught. In the BBC series, Miss Maud uses gloves to protect her fingers. Her slender fingers are used to record pornographic novels, while Susan's fingers are used to steal. In a sense, they both It's fingersmith (referring to the craftsman). The Chinese name of this series is also very good.

The two heroines of the TV series are also very well selected. Maud is reserved and Susan is wild, but with the development of the plot, Maud’s pungent personality gradually emerges, and it is unclear who the two of them will play in this love. "The role, who plays the "female". When Susan and Maude met for the first time, Maude stood in a beam of light and read Susan's forged recommendation letter in a slightly hoarse voice. Even if I knew the plot of the story, I couldn't help but believe that Maude at that time was really pure as a dove. Each character has a distinct personality. A reporter once said that Sarah Waters was good at writing Dickenson-style novels, but Sarah Waters recommended Zadie Smith. In this film, I once again felt the English countryside scenery. The word "idyllic" is so powerful, it's almost the whole reason I love British movies.
