Pursue

Orlando is a stream-of-consciousness novel by Virginia Woolf. Handsome teenager Orlando is immortalized and turned into a woman after being blessed by Queen Elizabeth. The plot can be said to be absurd and bizarre, but this is also the charm of stream-of-consciousness works.

The works of stream of consciousness are very jumpy, and we can't look at him with logical thinking, otherwise we will be even more confused. In fact, the film is very simple. It roughly shows that Orlando in different periods has his own different pursuits. The change of gender makes his personality and status change. But it doesn't become, Orlando is a free-spirited and free-spirited person. His freedom is not about taking risks to conquer, his freedom is his pursuit of what he loves.

Orlando was a lovely man, to Russian women, to poetry, to nature. . He all showed his strong enthusiasm. One of my favorite episodes is Orlando running out of the maze and falling on the grass, breathing the freshness of the grass and saying, "nature, nature, I am your bride". Orlando is such a casual and free person, and naturally has its infinite inclusiveness, a tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd. For a hundred years, Orlando lived as a woman, which made him feel oppressed. He was imprisoned in a frame and could not escape. To follow his fate was to accept the archduke who proposed to him to continue his family business. But that's impossible for Orlando, where he's free, and feminist thinking is particularly evident here.

In the 400 years, the people around me were born and disappeared, but I did not change anything, as if I had been forgotten in the long river of time, how lonely it should be. But the Orlando that the film presents is indeed a man with a passion for love and a passion for poetry. For 400 years, even if he is alone, he has not extinguished the fire in his heart.

Finally, I want to talk about Orlando's starring Tilda Swinton, an actor with an androgynous face and temperament. The first realization of Tilda was actually in the Chronicles of Narnia, in which she played the villain White Queen (the specifics are unclear...), and she felt her powerful aura at that time. In fact, in this film, many people think that the casting is not ideal, but I am just the opposite. Yes, the male Orlando Tilda does see a lot of female shadows, but the actor's acting skills are so meticulous that you can even get into the play and even think "he's handsome". After I became a woman in the later stage, I didn't want to say more because the woman's appearance was very good-looking and her aura was super strong, so in fact, he did not violate the harmony in the whole film.

This stream-of-consciousness movie can be said to be beautiful in terms of pictures, music, costumes, and architecture, which is in line with the style of the period, as well as the British accent of British actors. It is a movie that can be enjoyed alone in a quiet time. good film.
