1. I have only watched the mini-series, not the original, so I only comment on the director's short drama, not the original
2. I like V, dislike S, determined by age and experience
3. I lived in the UK and
watched it for a while Some people's comments all condemn V and maintain the original match. I think everyone mainly substitutes it from the current domestic situation, not the situation in the play.
1. The current situation in China is that if a man has a mistress, is it because of love? Who is not because they can exchange power and money for carnal satisfaction? But what was the UK like 100 years ago?
2. Some harmful moral standards in British society 100 years ago were higher than many things, and C at the end of the queue was the victim, and these standards or British society, its expression was actually the cedar tree , it made everyone very miserable, and even forced C's father to commit suicide. When he committed suicide, he could not act like suicide, but like an accident. At that time, there must be a lot of people in British society who had Mistress because their marriage was without love, and they were looking for the feeling of love outside. I remember that C's brother seemed to have said something to his mistress, "If she wasn't Catholic, I would have married her already". Religion is one of the reasons why his brother didn't get married, and C has many similar reasons. Of course, it's actually because he is too "old-fashioned".
3. Speaking of confrontation, S is a person who fights against these norms with old methods. She uses other people's children to cheat a marriage. It is undeniable that she is very attractive. Otherwise, how could C be shocked when they meet for the first time on the train? ? This is not his style and code of conduct at all, but the means of Charm + S is high, maybe she chose C to be the stepfather when there was no car shock. If S is the representative of old things, using some old ways to fight for love or your own happiness, V is using new ways, of course, the form is quite idealized on TV, but isn't TV just for charm? , Like real life, who still watches TV?
Maybe I'm older, maybe it's some of my experiences, my favorite episode is the night of CV in the mist, in fact, the people in the play may also be the most unforgettable episode of this episode, and I mentioned it several times.
The following are some of my favorite episodes, which are also the main reasons for supporting V. Although the director is a woman, the TV seems to be made for men:
1. On the carriage in the middle of the night, C casually said something from Romeo and Juliet. The lines, V immediately followed the next sentence. Here V is absolutely unable to return such dialogue. "Belive me love, it's nightingale." Here, the lines have multiple meanings. On the one hand, on the one hand, CV and CV have a lot in common, and V can easily tell what kind of person C is after seeing each other a few times ( About an old uncle's market), secondly, V is actually a pun, implying that he has a good impression of C, remember to look at C's expression at that time, thirdly, they were also at night, Juliet reminded Romeo that night was still It is very long, and there is still a lot of time for them. In fact, this is also a reminder of V to C. There is no such kind of play between SC.
2. "Damn Mountby", I remember this place name. How many times did C let his true emotions flow out of his heart in the film? This is probably the first time. And what was V's answer? "oh, my dear, it couln't have lasted for ever" is probably the sentence. When I saw this, the deep voice in my heart was, "Oh, God," what a line against the sky. How much V needs to know what kind of person C is, and understand the subtext of C's heart, so that he can skip a lot of boring dialogues and directly say this most important closing line. Time flies by quickly when you are with someone you love. At this time, I think V has confirmed that C is in love with him as well. Later, every time she started to speak with my dear, the words penetrated into her heart so gently, making people love them.
3. Sitting on the lawn, talking about Grosby, C said, "Maybe one day, I will take you to Grosby", "Maybe one day", which is another line against the sky. I have never seen such a forbearance in my life. The love bridge section, without any foreshadowing, goes straight to the theme, emphasizing the tacit understanding of the two people in love. Maybe? What is maybe? C has skipped many stages of development and directly hinted to V, "Maybe one day I will divorce my wife, so I can take you to my hometown to see as a wife." The realm of love is really high, The screenwriter seems to have kept V waiting here. If any of the girls in the room were replaced, would they say the following lines? V gently took C's hand and said "my dear, you will never take me to Grosby" in a very calm tone. Any male by this time must be ashamed and ashamed, which is why C later hugged the horse and cried. C feels that V has a thorough understanding of him. V knows that his love will have no way out in the future, but he is still so calm and so intimate (holding hands), it seems that he is trying to let C let go of the burden in his heart. What man can't fall in love with V?
4. Mistress, when C suddenly said that sentence, I smiled in my heart, and I was sincerely happy for C. He finally defeated himself and decided to take his life to a new level. Although he had done a lot of preparations before that: he was injured in the war, his father committed suicide because of "ethics", but the most important thing was actually some conversations with his brother earlier, which made him suddenly feel that he might not have to It is possible to become a person like a father, and there is also the possibility of being a person like an older brother. Many original party parties have strongly condemned C here. But what I want to say is that there is actually no sex in the play. I think the director's purpose is to let C's repressed feelings get a tentative release here, and the final release still has to wait for the tree to fall. (Did you think of Lu Xun's "On the Fall of Leifeng Pagoda", which is almost from the same era as this novel, it's all a metaphor).
5. I also admire V's ability to say "I do" without hesitation, a new woman, be a mistress? How she understands how difficult it is for C to make this request, in this scene, I didn't feel any sexual aura at all, even when the director asked Chunchun V to expose the scene, I didn't even feel it. Maybe I'm getting older, but I do think that sex can really help love sublime, and love must sublimate at a certain stage. Like "Love in the Time of Cholera", there are very few people who don't sublime until the age of 80, but they also sublime at the age of 80.
6. In the end, it was S who completely pushed C to V's side. She cut down the big tree and cut off the last link of C that was connected with the old thoughts and the principles that bound her feelings. In the end, it was his brother who helped C to pinch all the way back, and put the wood in the fireplace and burned it easily. In the end, C's act of burning the wood by himself was so relaxed and natural, so calm, as if the last bath had washed away the imprints left on him in the past. It was as calm as if his comrades had accepted that V was C's original lover from the moment they entered the door. Everyone was so harmonious together. The most real emotion was the true peace in the heart, and the incomparable harmony between himself and the environment. Finally, this calm and harmony made C no longer the last person in the queue.
