The film tells the tragic tragedy of a lower-class young man's failure to pursue his career and ideals in the Victorian era of England, which led to his destruction.
The memory of the opening film is processed into a dark gray-white, and the haze is heavy. Little Jude was running in the field and saw a row of crows that looked like they were hanging on the gallows, and bowing their heads meant surrender. Jude, out of pity and sympathy, fed the crumbs to more living crows. Chased and beaten by the owner of the farmland. This probably foreshadowed Jude's constant struggle throughout his life from the very beginning.
Jude grew up in a small town, he met a good teacher at school, Mr. Philoson. When Philoson left the town, he had a sincere chat with Jude. Philoson encouraged Jude to enter his ideal university hall: "I can guarantee that one day you will be admitted to university. On that day, you can do whatever you want."
Arabel, the daughter of a pig butcher, has a bold and raw side to her personality. Jude and Arabel have a physical relationship, only a physical union, not a spiritual one. When Jude was reading with a book in the house, while his wife was killing pigs outside, the whole picture had an irresistible sense of disobedience. The way is different, so Jude's marriage with this woman did not last long, and the woman withdrew self-consciously and went to Australia.
When he came to Christminster, he had a fiery love with his cousin Sue. The two went round and round around love, from Manchester to Susstown, to Alham, until they returned to Chris Minster. Sune loved Jude in her heart, but because of Jude's concerns and conservatism, She married Floss, who gave her a job offer, and the marriage took place in the church and was approved by the church. But because she didn't love Floss, she divorced not long after the marriage. After the divorce, she chose to go with Jude.
Sue is avant-garde and just wants to live with Jude without getting married, and soon they have children. Having a child out of wedlock was not recognized by the mainstream social values represented by the church in the 19th century England, and her life with Jude was also deteriorating and difficult.
At this time, Jude and his ex-wife gave birth to an 8-year-old boy, Jude, to be raised by him. He and Su gave birth to two more daughters one after another, a total of three children. of. Therefore, Jude's craftsmanship could not receive work, and others refused to invite him. Unable to feed their families, they kept moving to places where they didn't know them. There are many scenes of the train running in the movie. I think it is to show that they have been pursuing ideals and pursuing love, from one person to five people.
When Jude dragged his family to make a living selling cakes in Alham, he met his ex-wife again. At this time, she had already become a rich woman because of her husband's inheritance. She didn't forget to mock Jude: "That school doesn't want you anymore? You used to be so confident." Jude suddenly realized that, yes! Where did you go when you were so smug about going to college? Why did you give up your ideals because of love? So he went back to Christminster and decided to fight again.
Since they were not married, Jude and Su could hardly find a place to stay and ran into walls in the city. The baby of marriage becomes a liability - of course they don't think so. However, the mature little Jude understood all of this, and Su's unintentional words "there are too many people in our family" led to death. Little Jude strangled his younger siblings and then hanged himself.
The parents finally found a job, had an income, and planned to buy new clothes and go to school for little Jude, and came home happily to see such a scene. Everyone was stupid, and after the three small coffins fell to the ground, Su left Jude. Although they loved each other, they could no longer face each other. Jude was still in hot pursuit, and Su refused to look back.
