Without a doubt, a niche movie. But in my heart this movie is enough to enshrine the gods!
There is no doubt that God has given each of us different talents, some people are tenacious, some people are witty and humorous. And the gift to Nancy is two words: woman.
In the eyes of men, what is the ideal woman? Smart and gentle, romantic and affectionate, prudent and upright, showy and intelligent. Everyone has a hazy shadow in their hearts, and Nancy is the embodiment of this shadow.
God has also given Dickens an unrivaled talent, and this talent is also in two words: woman.
Unlike the greedy, unrestrained, bold and stalwart men, Dickens is erudite and versatile, calm and prudent, good at thinking, observant, and understanding. He can feel the thoughts of others and see the minutiae. Therefore, his brushstrokes are rigorous and powerful, and a pen can write down to the depths of the soul.
Such people have a common feature, that is, they are full of fantasy, they have their own fantasy world, there is their paradise. They can give everything for the world they want.
Why Nancy's mother said that Nancy can't act, that's because actors can treat drama like a job, take it up and put it down. Nancy was different, she only spoke up and then spoke up again. She went too deep, experienced too much, and couldn't get out.
The unity of human and drama is the realm of the actor, and it is the curse of the actor. Excessive looking at the world in the mind itself is a distortion of reality.
In contrast to Dickens, for a person with delicate psychological feelings, having nowhere to tell is hell. He has a dignified and virtuous wife, but she can't understand his creation, his psychology, his entanglement, his depression. Living together was a life sentence for Dickens.
When one emotional soul collides with another emotional soul, no words are needed, just a few words are enough to resonate strongly. Their souls are so united, as the sun illuminates the moon,
But how to shoot this? The things in our minds, we can't look at each other and then read the narration. Fortunately, the eyes are a window, and what you see through those eyes is the world in your heart.
The best part of the whole film is the close-up of the face. When people with rich hearts stare at each other, the light that appears in their eyes is madness, drunkenness, and madness.
It seems that all worldly fame and fortune can be easily forgotten, as long as two hearts can live together in a pasture.
A key node is the exchange of secrets. For such people, exchanging secrets in their hearts is equivalent to exchanging the keys to open the other party's heaven, and the secret itself is a surprise. "My middle name is Lawless" "My middle name is Lawless." The secret is Ellen Lawless Nancy" You opened the other's heart and found that one's heart was endlessly warm, and the other's heart was full of you.
Dickens said that Nancy was the purest and most genuine person he had ever met, and that was no doubt from the heart. The two cast aside their profane views and the fetters around them and came together. But everything is doomed, and reality is the most powerful punishment for fantasy.
In order to avoid gossip, the two went to live in France. If there is a life in the world that is only envious of mandarin ducks but not immortals, then Nancy's experience must be one of them. No love is no self.
But people carry the sky on their backs and step on the earth, and no one gives birth to two small wings. Dickens always had to face the public and return to his circle. And Nancy's children couldn't open their eyes to see the world after all. The day the two left France, Nancy said nothing, looking at the house where they lived. It was both the nursery where her child was born and the ruined field of Eden in Nancy's heart.
The ensuing train accident, Dickens' homecoming, and, to Nancy, seem to be Eve's expulsion from the Garden of Eden followed by another flood. Nancy is very calm, since her heart is dead, it doesn't matter whether it hurts or not.
From then on there appeared a woman walking by the sea, dressed in black
She was mourning, mourning her own children, mourning dead souls. Pain is buried in the sea breeze, and sorrow is buried in the waves.
This scene appears several times in the film, the distant sea and sky, the deserted beach. A woman in black.
Looking at this painting reminds me of the famous painting "The Dog" by Francisco Jose de Goya Lucientes
The distinction between heaven and earth is fading, not attached to anything. They don't speak anymore. The tidal flat at low tide emerges from a distance, but soon merges with the sea, a vision of reprieve. In the shattered matter, something seems to have happened in the remaining traces. And the woman is being swallowed up by the sea and the sky merging together.
Maybe this is what a broken dream looks like.
There is no doubt that the starting point of the tragedy is Dickens. Abandoning his wife and looking for a mistress is undoubtedly a disgraceful act, and in the end he brought disaster to the two families. His meticulous and sensitive heart is both a gift from God and a shackle from God. When he wants to get rid of the shackles of responsibility, it means he will accept the corresponding punishment.
Maybe David Copperfield's original ending was perfect. David and Ainis didn't get together, but their souls were imprinted in each other's hearts, and ultimately made them unique themselves.
