"The History of a Woman's Fortune and Fall"

Enola 2022-03-23 09:03:32

A Vanity Fair, which exposed the ugly faces of the 19th century British upper class, the fallen aristocrats and the bourgeois nouveau riche, the weak and the strong, and the interpersonal relationships of intrigue. "! All kinds of money worship, chasing fame and fortune, power and wealth, are quietly breeding!

Becky Sharp, the daughter of an alcoholic drawing teacher and a poor girl dancer, aims for wealth and high social status. Becky's unscrupulous, flattering, stalking the back door, flying high branches, and the beautiful, well-behaved, rich, contented with destiny, longing for love, stupid and kind Amelia is in stark contrast.

Two completely different female lines, in a Vanity Fair, ruthlessly exposed the shameless and depraved nature of the feudal aristocracy and the hypocrisy of the bourgeoisie in pursuit of fame and fortune, and intrigue!

    Becky Sharp is portrayed as too cute, not ambitious enough, and not ugly enough; the ending is even more bloody, turning a satirical novel into a romantic comedy and a happy reunion, plus a warm welcome from the colonial people. The only commendable is the performance of several leading actors and beautiful costumes.

    Becky is not as snobby as she imagined, and with the beautiful clothes, it seems that I am an uncompromising British lover who loves the British style~~
