If you still can't understand, let's be more straightforward. You want to meet a netizen, maybe have a one-night stand, and then make a joint password "Ximen Qing". After you go, you find a girl or a macho watching "Jin Ping Mei", That's definitely him/her. . .

After Liam Neeson saw this "Scarlet Letter", he immediately thought of "Pulland" and knew the real identity of the girl.

"The Scarlet Letter" also implies the theme of the film, the evil of human nature. . .

There's a hint at the beginning, when Liam Neeson chats with Vera Farmiga, who plays the girl in the middle, he shows a certain literary quality. . .

Here's a sweat. The former police officers in the United States have watched "The Scarlet Letter". Shouldn't they first read "Murder on the Orient Express" by Agatha Christie from "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes"? No wonder the police can't keep up. . . Ha ha. . .

The publication of The Scarlet Letter consolidated his solid position in the American literary world, and also gave him a huge impact on later generations. Influence.

The representative work "The Scarlet Letter" uses symbolism to the fullest. It analyzes the root of human evil with nuanced psychological analysis and profound symbolic techniques, and reveals the ancient and eternal theme of "the evil of human nature". .

The Scarlet Letter takes New England under the colonial rule of the North American Puritan (Calvinism) in the 17th century as the background, and describes the psychological process of two believers who violated the Puritan commandments.

In "The Scarlet Letter", Hawthorne successfully used multiple symbols to imply the theme of "The Scarlet Letter" from different sides, including each character, different scenes, and the symbolic meaning contained in the Scarlet Letter itself, giving the theme a specific image, thereby Making the meaning of the whole novel more subtle and rich, The Scarlet Letter made Hawthorne one of the pioneers of modern symbolism literature .


7.0/10 points. 2018.04.18, Blu-ray 2 brushes.

The whole is still smooth, the first 5 and a half minutes of switching between the camera and the characters' costumes, let people understand the work and rest of the protagonist in the past ten years.

The special effects long shot at 24 minutes is also good, and I watched the part where the train derailed many times. . .

Overall, it's worth a look. It's just a logical problem, where can I find such an awesome middleman girl. . .

Clara Largo, Spanish beauties are getting old and coming to America to make soy sauce. . .

Jonathan Banks, The Coquettish Lawyer is waiting for you. . .
