(here is a tribute to the film's talented female director Sally Potter and star Tilda Winston)
About so-and-so:
I just remember that searching for this movie took me a lot of thought, really It's because there are too few movies of this type on the market, maybe it's the high and the low~!
The original author of this film: Virginia Woolf - a famous British female writer, the representative writer of the school of consciousness. It is admirable and admirable to be able to form a faction of its own and get such a reputation, and in Great Britain, where there is no shortage of people!
It is a pity that the literati temperament inherent in the famous super writers has exerted a chain effect, and no one has been spared in ancient and modern times. In 1945, just one day before the German air cavalry "trampled" London, the sun was shining, and there was no warning. The death came so suddenly, she walked quietly to the lake, leaving him (her) behind. , letting go of everything she loves may be a relief and a goodbye to her (the torment of intermittent mental illness has made her exhausted) or it may be the time she has been searching for all her life, it is time to leave this The world is gone - "the eternity of nothingness".
The story begins like this:
Orlando, the son of a prince and aristocrat in the Tudor Dynasty, should inherit his father's title as a matter of course. Unfortunately, the arrival of Elizabeth I broke all this. She is old and has no children, and she is handsome He is tall and straight (Tilda Winston's performance is so perfect, if you really look at it carefully, you will be fascinated by this actress disguised as a man) because of a moment of playfulness, the time is lost, and when she rushes over, the Queen's face looks Has been faintly unhappy, seems to herald a bad start, but it turns out that human appearance still plays a role at some critical moments. This was not hand-picked by the queen and brought back to the palace, and took on the responsibility of a full-time nanny. Even if some people were unwilling, the effort was always rewarded. The entire dynasty behind the queen became his and gave it to him. "Eternal" - "Do not fade, do not become haggard, do not grow old".
Likes to play, likes women - an accidental encounter he fell in love with the daughter of the Russian ambassador (Sophie Marceau, why she is out of tune with this play, maybe it was the time of the vase), abandoned his docile and skilled The queen's wife, openly showing her love to this exotic beauty, without hesitation, regardless of everything, love is like a tide. She even made an appointment to elope, but in the end she got her betrayal
. In those days, women had no status and no rights, sometimes they were loved, sometimes they were worthless, and only four words belonged to them - "beauty and misfortune".
He fell into a long slumber, and when he woke up, he vowed never to believe in love again, but his dynasty continued with his life, and he began to read and write poetry, and it was silent for a century the past.
He started to work hard, started to walk out of the dynasty, looked at the world, started the myth of "the empire on which the sun never sets", and now he is in the world of the Middle East, started his colonial rule, started to tame this uncivilized nation, and here, the feudal dynasty The disintegration of the old man, the alternation of the old and the new, the turmoil of the current situation, when he or she accidentally woke up from a dream, he (she) found out that any miracle could happen overnight - became a woman.
The world is changing... He is still him, but with a different "identity".
"Heavy makeup and light makeup are always suitable" - a careful examination of this woman is equally admirable, noble and soul-stirring. He (she) began to readily accept this fact, and began to learn how to be a woman, how to be graceful, how to protect himself, and how to fight back against the world of men, even if the dynasty had doubts about his (her) gender, he (she) began to her) property barrier - there must be a male to inherit her property (whether husband or son), soon he (she) is blackmailed, and seems unwise, to refuse - with the dignity of a woman.
Women's consciousness is slowly awakening. Although it is impossible to have the shock of the Jedi counterattack, the voice of the desire for equality and freedom is getting stronger and stronger.
During this period, she fearless rumors, resolutely pursued true love, found him on a run in the wild, and her wish from beginning to end - to be able to truly be a complete woman.
Thanks to this warrior who brought her true love, for his ambition, she said goodbye to him. It is no longer an era when you have to depend on men, and she can survive by herself.
Quietly passing century after century, she ushered in her new life and began to live freely, like a man and then like a person, she and her daughter.
Freedom and equality regardless of gender.
