"The French Lieutenant's Woman" uses a double-line structure, in the form of a play within a play, to cross edit the stories that happened in two different time and space. The back and forth switching between the play and reality makes the whole film more meaningful. The emotional entanglements experienced by the women are intertwined, and people can't help but explore the feelings in them. They seem to live two completely different lives, but they seem to be integrated into each other's feelings, deeply in love with a person, But they also made themselves into a desperate situation, and they were unable to redeem their souls. And they were all abandoned by the times in pursuit of the freedom of the soul, and they all expected someone to save her. The two pairs of protagonists in different time and space cannot be together because of their own last resort. The mutual switching between the two narratives is more like two ropes tugging at the audience. The invisible shackles of society, morality, ethics, and family bind them. . The two-line narrative presents the entanglement and pain of two people who cannot be together in different time and space due to all moral constraints.
