I re-watched this video some time ago. What surprised me was that I couldn't see how the love between Bounine and Anastasia could have occurred. Although there are many lines in the second half of the play suggesting this, the plot in the first half does not provide a good foundation for their emotional development-the two are not so much like lovers who are concerned about each other’s feelings as if they are based on their own interests. , Partners who respect each other's feelings. If Anastasia has a reason to fall in love with Bounine (at least he is sincere to her, and she is relatively passive in their relationship), then Bounine's feelings for Anastasia are completely confusing to me: Could it be because of playing Anastasia The beauty of Ingrid Bergman?
I still admire Bounine's straightforward character. He said to Anastasia, you are to confirm your identity, and I am for the money. Although our motives are different, our goal is the same (that is, to get Anastasia to be recognized by the last empress of Russia). This is the basis of our cooperation. Although he desperately needed money, he neither coerced Anastasia into acting according to his plan, nor did he use any noble excuses to cover up his true desires. This can show that his temperament is very arrogant and disdain to do things that are not on the table, and it can also show that his principles are still higher than his desire for economic benefits. After that, he and Anastasia established a deep relationship of mutual trust: they easily continued their "rehearsals" on the train to Copenhagen, and even talked about Bounine's old love history, and they met frankly. . Because of this, Bounine went into a rage when she saw Anastasia, who had become a "princess" again, and accused her of pursuing fame and fortune instead of "seeking herself" as she claimed. Because he was open and honest with her, the thought that he actually didn't understand her true motives for seeking relatives, vanity—not to mention feelings—was hurt a lot. He is not the kind of person who will apply conspiracy and tricks to all occasions. In real life, in addition to the struggle with people, he is still used to telling the truth with other people, and he also needs to tell the truth. This is the biggest difference between him and Anastasia's fiancé-it is a difference in nature rather than a difference in intelligence. This need may make him unconsciously open his mind to others, and it will inevitably make him angry at himself and others for telling the truth that he shouldn't tell.
