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.

    It was rather bland at first. It will be more boring. 2 people love each other. It is true that because of some differences in positions, 2 people separated the cups. . . I could feel Sophia's pain at the time. The idea of ​​drowning in a river and committing suicide is perfectly reasonable. . . If I were Sophia, I'd probably be desperate too. Maybe we are all not allowing our lover to abandon you for whatever reason. Poor Sophia.

    Quoting film reviews, "People often say: The deepest love will definitely make you lose yourself. After reading the love story between Tolstoy and his wife, I suddenly felt that love may not be that great, and the self may not be that fragile. Love may not be without resentment in the depths. It is precisely because of resentment that you can see your blind spots in love; it is because of persistence in yourself that you can not despise yourself after the situation has passed."

The Last Station quotes

  • Leo Tolstoy: "Your youth and your desire for happiness reminds me cruelly of my age and the impossibility of happiness for me." When I was courting Sofya, she was so young and pure, it seemed impossible that I'd ever have her. I didn't want to tell her how I felt and I wanted to tell her nothing else. So I wrote down a string of letters and asked her if she could decipher them. She looked completely confused, thinking it was a game or... I gave her one clue. The firs two Y's, I said, stand for "your youth" and then the most miraculous thing happened. She simply spoke the phrase, my phrase as if she had read my mind. In that moment, we both knew we would always be together. For those first years, we were incredibly happy, terrifyingly happy.
