I read the original book first, and let’s not talk about the fact that the characters are inconsistent with the historical facts. The plot is very attractive. What’s more amazing is that the author has the ability to let readers participate in the story. During the whole reading process, I felt that I was a A member of the Lin family hated it for its greed and selfishness, but when he was in dire straits, he cried for it again. I actually didn't think about this book carefully. It's not that it has no depth and nutrients, but it is certain that the author's mind is mostly spent on the plot, which is why this immersive effect is achieved. In short, I don't hate either Pauline, and I've never really liked Annie, but I can't even explain why I cried so much when she died.
After reading the original book, I didn't plan to watch the movie version, but I downloaded the high-definition version last night, so I had to watch it. The movie is not as aesthetically pleasing as the original, with many changes to the plot, not enough fullness in the portrayal of the characters, and protracted narrative techniques. Natalie Portman is okay, and the rest of the actors are tasteless. The description of the heroine's heart in the original book and the creation of the atmosphere are the highlights, which cannot be reflected in the movie.
Of course, the movie is not useless. Compared with the ending of the book, I think the ending in the movie is more tender. Instead, it shows the benevolent side of Henry VIII. Although it is very different from the historical facts, it also makes me feel comfortable. a lot of.
In short, watching the movie after reading the book is definitely superfluous. And our understanding of the story and the positioning of the characters in the book are likely to be influenced or even transformed by the director's personal understanding. There are very few movies that can surpass the original. Read on. The imagination is unlimited. In contrast, the movie is just a second-order businessman who cuts, codes, and moves the original.
