about love

Another movie about a great man in his later years.
The angle of the story is very interesting, two pairs of protagonists, Tolstoy and his wife, and Tolstoy's followers and his lover.
I think the selection of such a character in the film is actually just the need to tell the story, and its purpose is not purely for biography, but more to express to us the love he understands through or through such a relationship. It's just about the inconsistency of the whole story, which is the issue of the will, and the movie doesn't go much deeper into it. Although the depth of the film is greatly reduced, it is true that this is not the purpose of the film. It only talks about love.

The relationship between the times and the growing environment, in fact, I don't really feel the same way about this kind of fanatical worship, but human beings can easily move people no matter when, where, or under what circumstances. Love, there is such a magical power.

Seeing Tolstoy and his wife is like seeing the last form of a love.
We are in love, but there are so many other things in life.
In life, you choose to coordinate or choose, but at the end of life, love is always precious.

The shooting style of the film is particularly biographical, and the selection of angles and scheduling are particularly flat, which should be the reason for the relationship between the characters. It seems to complement each other, and the overall feeling is quite comfortable. The color is also very good, the color of Russia is so beautiful. Several leading actors have high acting skills, which add a lot to the movie.
