I seldom write film reviews, but under the shock of Tuo Lao's masterpiece, I always feel a pity if I don't write something about it. I love the changing history of characters' fate and thoughts under the background of real history. Tuo Lao is a palace-level great writer, swaying and swaying more than one million words, depicting so many characters and stories in such a delicate way, and the succession and transformation are natural and harmonious. "The true meaning of.
When it comes to loving life, the representative must be the most beloved Natasha, like an angel who has fallen into the world, and Audrey Hepburn. Natasha, who has just entered her teenage years, is full of vitality, spotless, and extremely innocent and lovely. She is the pistachio of the family, her laughter is very healing, her every move seems to be bouncing and full of energy, she is even naively convinced that she does not want to get married but just wants to fully enjoy the joy of life, she understands the world very well It is simply full of puzzlement about why the war happened. Pierre, who strives to explore the true meaning of life but is often caught in a loop of pleasure, regards her as an angel, and even after her humiliation and seduction, she still gets down on one knee and vomits her heart out. Prince Andrei, who had no love after losing his wife and lost his life after the war, accidentally heard her confide to her girlfriends in the balcony the joy of being in a beautiful night. The innocence, beauty, playfulness and cuteness completely melted Andrei gradually. In his cold heart, the yearning for a beautiful love began to revive in his heart at that moment.
Of course, no one is perfect, and characters that are too perfect will only make people feel unreal and full of distance. Natasha's simplicity is addictive, but at the same time, it also brings opportunities to the liar and playboy in love. Under the fierce attack of love and deceived by her beautiful face, Natasha lost herself and showed the weakness of the girl's innocent character. She mistakenly thought it was love, and her reason disappeared. (I still deeply remember that when I read the novel, I felt extremely resentful and regretful when I saw this passage. It is no exaggeration to say that it was a slap in the face.) Life will bring you disasters, but it will also make your personality more perfect, and you have experienced life. The vicissitudes of life will only be more charming, mainly due to the maturity and the thorough and open-minded understanding of life. Natasha, who has experienced a major blow, has experienced regret and self-defeating for a long time like ordinary people. After that, we meet Natasha who is more mature, more profound and more loving towards life. The last encounter between Natasha and Prince Andrew was poignant and at the same time extremely happy. Crying could not change fate. Everything was arranged by God.
Although the 1956 version of the movie has a length of 208 minutes, under this magnificent novel, this length of time is obviously insufficient for the plot. If you have not read the novel, you will basically feel that the change of characters' thoughts is too abrupt. Fortunately, I watched this movie after reading the novel, so the lack of foreshadowing in the novel is enough to make up for it. It is fair to say that several protagonists in the movie still interpret the characters in the novel well. The most satisfying thing about this film is Audrey Hepburn, who is also an angel who fell into the world. It would be better for her to play Natasha. The same extraordinary face, the same lively and lovely, the same love of life and gratitude for life, the image of Hepburn in Roman Holiday fits perfectly with Natasha's setting.
The last thing I want to say is that famous novels bring people not only the joy of stories, but also the perception of life. I am very fortunate to read this magnificent novel. I hope that I can always love life like Natasha, and not forget my original intention in the noisy society!
