This is a rather "wonderful" movie, the whole story is inexplicable, and the theme idea is jaw-dropping. The author's biggest feeling after watching the movie is "the head was stepped on by a donkey"!
Before entering the review, let's take a look at the plot and characters, so that fans can clarify their thoughts.
Character combing
Cornelis: rich merchant, Sophia: nun (in exchange, married to Cornelis), Loos: painter, Willem: fishmonger, Maria: maid
Cornelis + Sophia -> Formal Couple
Loos+Sophia-> cheating
Willem+Maria->Normal love
plot integration
three clues
①Cornelis and Sophia are married, but they have not had children for many years, and their life is getting boring day by day.
②Loos was invited to the Cornelis mansion to paint for the couple, but was attracted by Sophia's beauty. "The urge to love" pushes two young men over a cliff...
③The fishmonger Willem and Cornelis' maid Maria love each other. In order to let the latter live a prosperous life, the former does not hesitate to engage in the risky "tulip" trade... This love! very pure!
two red wires
①Loos and Sophia's "love affair"
②Willem and Maria's "Pure Love"

Story summary
Sophia, who is tired of boring life, falls in love at first sight with poor painter Loos
▼
Overwhelmed by lust, Sophia decides to design an escape from Cornelis
▼
Pregnant Maria becomes part of Sophia's project (pretending to have "have")
▼
A few months later, the child fell to the ground. Sophia pretended to die in childbirth according to the plan, escaped smoothly, and reunited with her lover.
▼
A few years later, the truth was revealed to the world.
Mr. "Green Hat" Cornelis left the sad place and went to India to "take root";
Maria and Willem were given their mansion by Cornelis (and continue to live happily in Amsterdam). But in exchange, they will never be able to tell the truth (ie: little sophia is not Cornelis and Sophia's daughter, but her own flesh and blood);
Sophia, who returned to the monastery, met Loos again who was repairing the frescoes in the church, and the two smiled knowingly (routine).
The show is over!
After a general overview, enter the formal review
I, the cast
①Oscar winner Christoph Waltz as Gentleman Cornelis
②Oscar actress Alicia Vikander as nun Sophia
③ Dame of the British Empire, old drama bone Judi Dench plays the abbot
④Young talent Dane DeHaan x sexy girl Cara Delevingne, after "The City of a Thousand Stars", compete on the same stage again
Such an outstanding cast is quite rare and precious!
II, Plot Commentary
This work is euphemistically called "Fever Tulip", but in the plot, there are very few fragments and scenes associated with it. The director does not seem to consider the proportion of "tulips" in the film, but arbitrarily sets "her" as an ordinary decoration, whose presence is "dispensable". Similar to "settings", so I am very puzzled!
In addition, the "jumpiness" of the plot is another thing that puzzles everyone.
①How did Loos and Sophia fall in love with each other? Just because of "painting"?
②How did Sophia convince and bribe the maids and doctors to deceive her kind husband?
③ How to hype the "tulip" market? Cause and effect?
The appearance of many plots in the work is very abrupt (no beginning and no end), which makes people completely confused and confused.
In addition, the original work of this work is a typical "love" novel. It is a story about love, courage, and breaking the bondage. It has nothing to do with the "green hat" (the theme of derailment) shown in the movie version. I really don't understand the director of the film. What is your mind thinking? !
III, Character Reference
Cornelis: the "green hat" good man
Daily prayers and petitions, caring and loving wives, and being kind to the people around you, the result? A "green hat" buckled
Sophia: scheming bitch
"scheming", the true portrayal of Sophia in the play. (Don’t talk about true love, what is true love for people who cheat in marriage?!)
Let's watch a few episodes together and experience it.
① Decline Cornelis' invitation to play cards, try Loos
②Fine strategy, design to leave Cornelis (fake pregnancy, fake birth, fake death)
③ Arranged for Loos to repair the frescoes in the church, so that the two finally came together (pissed off the audience!)
Maria: "Our Lady"
The "Virgin Mary" in the story is well deserved.
She didn't want to be sorry for the hostess (Sophia), she chose to help her and deceive the host together (the right or wrong of this behavior, we will not comment)
She didn't want to be sorry for the male lead (Cornelis) and revealed the truth (whether it was intentional or unintentional, we won't explore it)
She kept her promise and didn't tell little Sophia (elder daughter) what happened
Her innocence, her faithfulness, her perseverance, blessed by God, gifted by Cornelis
Write at the end. "Fever Tulip" has a first-class cast, second-class editing and arrangement, and third-class script setting . The crew forcibly turned a "love" masterpiece into a "derailed" bad film, which is really speechless!
Director ☆☆☆☆ (too much attention to gorgeous appearance, ignoring the core of the story)
Actor ★★★★☆ (Luxurious cast, amazing acting)
Plot ☆☆☆☆☆ (There is no plot, it's just an extramarital affair, get a tulip over, is it alluding to "red apricots out of the wall"?)
Visual effects ★★★★★ (classical beauty, charming)
Sound ★★★☆☆ (moderate)
Not recommended
