I didn't know there was such a movie released before, I went to see it with my friends. But in the melodious sound of music, the scenes alternated with delicate scenes like a stage play. Sitting in a theater with few people, I thought to myself, um, this is probably the best movie of the year.
The opening rhythm is very fast, the characters appear in an endless stream, and the plot unfolds in an orderly manner, making people dazzled and overwhelmed. Until Anna and Vronsky's unforgettable dance, the lives of the protagonists have been changed.
This dance is the first climax of the whole play, and the director made it extremely gorgeous. The people around became the background, and only where Anna and Vronsky danced did people recover from the freeze, and in the end the whole dance seemed to be left with only the two people who fell in love at first sight - a romantic knight and Vronsky. A married woman. And Jiti kept looking at them anxiously, the music rhythm followed the dance steps faster and faster, the audience couldn't help but get more and more nervous, and the contradictions between the characters were on the verge of breaking out.
At another dance, Anna did not see Vronsky, but saw the fireworks carefully prepared by the host, which were gorgeous and short, and hinted at her life. Fireworks are easy to get cold, and personnel are easy to divide. I wonder if she had any regrets when she was lying on the rails, and whether the extremely beautiful and easily dissipated flowers bloomed in front of her?
Emotions are burning like wildfire, out of control. The upper class does not accept scandals, let alone such feelings. Anna's tragedy was ultimately self-inflicted. Don't talk about the pursuit of self and love. Love without moral restraint will only harm others and yourself. In the final analysis, it is still for selfish desire and temporary pleasure.
On the contrary, the farmer Levin and Kitty, the young couple, should stay away from the vain and flashy social circle, or the simple pastoral life is more suitable for them. The kind of piety, cherishing, and idealism that Levin has for love is the most moving. So they are the happiest couple in the whole show.
There is also Anna's brother, the so-called person who thinks about the pot while eating, constantly cheating and being forgiven by his wife. I'm afraid that the wife's full of love at the beginning can only be turned into ashes in the end. It's no longer love, it's helplessness, it's a compromise, it's a matter of life, and so on.
I paid special attention to several large skirts that Anna wore in public in the next play. The styles were similar, but the colors were very different. 1. When Anna and Vronsky danced, it was a dark (I don’t really remember whether it was dark purple or dark green) long dress. She once said that the protagonist of this dance was Kitty, so the low-key color showed that she did not I didn't want to overshadow Jiti's limelight, but unfortunately it backfired. 2. The upper class ladies were more or less aware of the love between the two. On the cusp of the storm, Anna still came to the dance held by Sister Vronsky, wearing a very high-profile red dress, which shows that she has admitted her love for Vronsky. of love. 3. Anna and Vronsky went to the theater after living together, wearing a white dress like a goddess, but in the eyes of everyone, she was no longer pure and everyone could not avoid it.
By the way, my favorite Miss Downton, who appeared twice in the above three scenes, gave Anna the greatest degree of kindness and comfort compared to other ladies. Talking to Anna when others are mean behind her back, distracting Anna from her and Vronsky when her husband arrives, holding Anna's hand silently when she is ignored and humiliated (you are the true love ==!), I love Miss Kindness!
In addition to the eldest lady, the performances of several ladies were also excellent, their eyes, movements...or their manners, pretentiousness, or surprise and contempt, without words, they were full of drama.
Both Alexia love Anna deeply, one is her husband and the other is her lover.
Her husband, Karenin, is a high-ranking official. He is restrained, restrained, and reserved. He does not allow his wife to have any scandals. After warning her after hearing rumors, he apologized to her, saying that he should not doubt her. He never hated anyone. After several times, he was finally disappointed with Anna. He hated her so much that he wanted to divorce her, and he hated her to the point of ruining her life. However, even after tearing up Anna's letter in the heavy snow, he still rushed home to forgive his dying wife, held the hand of his rival, and told the crying rival that he would take care of his wife for the rest of his life. After Anna got well, she cried and complained that she did not want Vronsky to leave, and Karenin gave her substantial freedom - to live with Vronsky, and to help her raise children who were not her own flesh and blood...
Lover Vronsky is a cavalry, young, handsome, and affectionate. After meeting Anna, he never saw anyone else, did not care about rumors, career prospects, and family pressure. His love did not disappear because he got it, but cherished it even more. Even in the face of the manic, neurotic and hysterical Anna in the end, he still retained the greatest degree of forbearance.
No matter which one she chooses, Anna will be happy, but she chose death. Perhaps, she should have died in childbirth, so she did not have to endure the pain of life later. I actually think that she was completely harmed by postpartum depression =. = Sensitive, suspicious, difficult to sleep, and constantly taking morphine for sleep, which makes you more irritable, irritable, and vicious circle. Coupled with the rejection and neglect of her by the upper class, and the young girl's affection for Vronsky, Anna was tortured by her own heart until death gave her eternal peace.
At the end of the show, I joked that it is no wonder that this drama can be played in China, and it reflects the mainstream values so much - extramarital affairs do not end well.
In fact, what I want to say more is that because love becomes a god, and because love becomes a devil, it is only a matter of one thought.
Lewis wrote in "The Four Loves": "If a man ever loves to be the supreme master of his life, the seed of hatred will sprout and grow. Then it will become a god, and then it will become a devil."
Finally, There are no words to express my appreciation for this film. Director Joe White's genius is the perfect fusion of the stage play and the movie, the details echo before and after, and the gorgeous camera sense hit my heart with great accuracy~
But as a remake of Leo Tolstoy's work , the play is still too British, replacing the sound of the accordion and the heavy snow, the scenes and actors can directly shoot the British court play or the French lady's play, and the feeling is not too bad.
ps I don’t know why the comments are complaining about Keira’s flat chest to show how bad the casting is and how bad this movie is o(╯□╰)o
