In literary works, the use of historical time to create a fiction of specific characters is called alternate history! But putting it in the image will produce a kind of "this world is so big, in the society at that time who can guarantee that such a thing will not happen??" Then gradually there is a sense of identity, even empathy, for the sake of driven by the emotions of the characters. Of course, this is also a kind of charm that the movie should have!
In the middle of the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe, it was a period of cultural and artistic creation of integrity and madness! Whether literature, drama, painting, architecture is the pinnacle of leading the world. Therefore, when the humanities were so developed at that time, erotic affairs would naturally be tainted by people and become a topic of discussion. There were even nobles who fell in love with prostitutes, royal incest, and private affairs. (For details, please refer to "Famous Shu"). There were many real stories at that time, which naturally resulted in many literary works, and brought inspiration to too many masters. The source will never be exhausted! There is no shortage of masters like Shakespeare! (For details, please refer to "Shakespeare in Love")
Back to the book, this movie is actually a fake Shakespeare story, it looks like a Shakespeare plot, but it misses the slightest! Shakespeare loved the contradictions and conflicts in plays, and there would never be such a generous character! After his wife had an affair, used the servant's child as his own child to deceive him, used fake death to deceive him and elope with his lover, etc., in the end the nobleman was able to give the house to the servant and her lover. With such a plot, under Shakespeare's pen, can such a woman be spared? ? Such was the kindness that had never been seen in his tragedy.
In Denmark in the 17th century, expensive tulips, even one plant worth several houses, were ordered at auction, a business that even the poor could turn over. In the same way, a low-level painter got a chance to paint for aristocrats. After a few times, he threw down his brush and released a sentence: "I have found love", and ran to have sex with his wife. This cheating is really courageous. ! !
Christopher Watts, playing a scene like this is so easy. It is worth mentioning that the heroine, the best supporting actress in the Oscars, Alicia Vikander, is really good. Desire to return, youth of a young girl, duty as a wife, tension of cheating, firm belief in love, and finally reluctance to give up to her husband. All these emotions cannot be said to be impeccable, but they are all performed well.
As a person, I have always liked any stories from this period in Europe, because the collage of too many elements from obedience, actors, etc. is very wonderful! !
