1. Layer structure: "The French Lieutenant's Woman" is different from the general main line + sub-line appearance, but through the same actors and through the medium of film, the two main lines go hand in hand. By matching the two plot lines one by one, it will be clearly found that the passages of Sarah and Charles in the past time and space "first met, met, fell in love, Sarah ran away, Charles searched, found, combined and other passages are closely related to the present time and space of Anna and Charles." The ingenious connection of Mike's "cohabitation, cohabitation, cohabitation, Mike misses, Mike in love, separation and other paragraphs allows the story to reflect the theme well on the one hand: the "unity of spirit and flesh" after the collision between traditional and modern sexual relations A victory that conforms to the laws of evolution. At the same time, the layer structure also brings the possibility of text editing.
2. About text clipping: In my understanding, text clipping is a clipping method that creates an illusion based on the speed of things that naturally advance in people's lives. In the film, in the opening scene, Charles proposes to his fiancee in the garden in the past time and space, and in people's normal life concept, the relationship will become further intimate after the proposal, and then the director arranges a cohabitation scene. Everything makes sense, and at the same time, the time and space are quietly switched into the modern time and space, and the characters have become Mike and Anna.
But this kind of editing also needs to have a basis: in addition to the editing of the text, the director also deliberately emphasizes the props belonging to modern time and space: the telephone, so that the editing becomes evidence-based.
3. The spiritual fit of the characters: The most moving point in the film is that the characters will inadvertently produce spiritual fit in the progress of the plot. In the movie, although one of the actors (Anna, Mike) and the characters (Sarah, Charles) is real and the other is virtual, when Anna looked in the mirror at the last dance, she found Sarah, and Mike called out to Sarah when she called out to Anna. When the name was pulled, they used to think about the characters in the story getting closer in the process of acting. In the same place, the collision of modern and past love concepts occurred, which was full and sad.
