The moment the pale girl raised her eyes timidly, the whole world seemed to be silent. The background was a noisy and dark corridor, and the tall and indifferent old lady stood opposite her for a long time in silence, her eyes were cold, and the girl became more and more helpless. The director captured her expression patiently in this way. She is weak and slender, so sensitive and clean, like a weak plant lacking sunlight, clearly separated from all the lively surroundings.
I like those colors, they are very British, rich but quiet and elegant, like flowing oil paintings. It feels like the actor is the painter who is good at using light. Knowing that I would like the combination of light and shadow, they are very beautiful.
When the girl endured the pain of ear piercing and put on the mistress's pearl earrings, her beauty was suddenly illuminated. The light was as white and warm as her, with a trace of anxiety and weakness, filling the entire dull studio. There was always a gentle and ambiguous emotion floating in the picture, but it ended calmly. The faint sadness freezes on the girl's complex expression when she looks back, which is mixed with pain, longing, anxiety and trembling happiness.
We didn't have a chance to see the painting until the spoiled hostess lost her temper. The girl's light in the dark background was completely recorded. The painter's brushwork is gentle and delicate, with all his love and respect. It and her are perfect works of art for him. And the girl silently returned to her dim life, putting away all her dreams. He loves her, enough.
There is very little dialogue in the movie, and the music is always absent. But soft emotions fill every corner, making this film only full of peaches, juicy and sweet, which makes people happy.
