Watching the Movie----The Nameless Jude (Part 1)

It's still a story about taboos and attempts to break them.

The beginning of the movie makes me think I put the wrong disc. The dark and oppressive sky, the desolate earth, there are crows flying, not doves. A little boy, alone, accompanied by chaotic clappers, distant, strange, and sad. Then I shuddered when the camera moved to the dead flock of birds hanging from the cross, and I was worried, an obvious metaphor. However, at the end of the black and white segment, will that be a guide for the distant view?

Time can be fast in the movie, or it can be frozen, thanks to the infinite charm between the shots. In almost a second, the little boy grew up, handsome and tall, but still had a melancholy temperament, so out of place. I began to wonder, the story often really begins at this time, what will be waiting for him?

It is often like this that people with different personalities are most likely to be attracted to each other. They regard each other as a window to the unknown world, where the scenery is strange and attractive, as sweet and intoxicating as new wine, so , I wasn't at all surprised by the arrival of the wedding. And, there was no doubt that it was a seemingly beautiful mistake that could be foreseen.

The wedding was the idyll of an English farmhouse, with bright weather, bright green grass and a crowd of flowers. However, according to the usual logic of movies, I began to worry about the fate of the bride thereafter. The little child who took the bread to feed the crows in the field, the little child who tapped the wooden bangs alone in the endless, tortuous cornfield, in Jude, because of the sweetness of love and the love of marriage. Temptation temporarily retreats, but must never and cannot die. When that power becomes negligible or even strong, those who love him are bound to be hurt.

Then, there is separation, which is doomed and unavoidable. The wife went to Australia and said sorry and said that there will be a new life waiting for her. A simple, unliterate message, I was thinking at that time, it contains a woman's unspeakable silence and the memories of the years since, relying on such a meager warmth to spend the rest of her life, really Can?

And the movie, just 20 minutes. And then, is the center of the story, . The woman dressed in white under the sun wrote beautiful handwriting attentively and demurely, and her whole body was full of exciting aura. Walking in the crowd, against the background of the dark surroundings, it is so bright and dazzling, which is fascinating. This is Su. This is fateful love.

I have to admit that seeing too much tragedy will leave a shadow in my heart. That's how I am. In a tragic play, if the tone is suddenly bright and the picture is suddenly beautiful, I can't help but start worrying. Joy and beauty are fleeting, and distress and humiliation often follow.

    A typical literary film, the rhythm is slow, the soundtrack is lyrical and soothing, the story is not strong, and it is relatively boring. Britain in the 19th century had a strong religious atmosphere. A young literary and artistic young man who dared to pursue his dreams persistently, because of a wrong marriage, led him to a path of love that was criticized and unaccepted by the church and the secular world. Staying together, cohabiting and having children, but unable to get married legally, brought huge practical difficulties to their family life, and also brought huge psychological pressure to sensitive and vulnerable children, which eventually led to an irreversible huge tragedy. Their love is shrouded in irreparable sadness and despair, and the film deeply reflects the stifling of human emotions by religion at that time. The performances of the male and female lead actors are delicate and full, and the photography, composition, color, and soundtrack are quite good, restoring the strong classical and conservative British atmosphere, and the production is excellent.

Jude quotes

  • Sue Bridehead: Please don't call me a clever girl, Mr. Phillotson, there are too many of us about these days.

  • Sue: Why are you looking at me like that?

    Jude Fawley: Does it scare you?

    Sue: No. I am not afraid of any man.

    Jude Fawley: Why?

    Sue: Because no man would touch a woman unless she gives him reason to. A touch or a look that say come on. If you never look, they'll never come. You are the timid sex.
