might not like it very much at the beginning
, because the filming time was relatively early, the technique was not very mature, and it was even a bit clumsy in many places
. The "passionate" play may be the need of the theme. Personally, I think it is a bit blatant~
But the theme of the film is quite profound. Through the love tragedy of a pair of young lovers, it expresses the morality of the Victorian era, especially the sexual repression. A kind of questioning and condemnation....
a poem by Wordsworth is used throughout to reveal its theme and create a sentimental atmosphere ~
William Wordsworth's 1807 Ode, Intimations of Immortality from Reflections of Early Childhood
“Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower
We will grieve not, but rather find
Strength in what remains behind.”
