Only talk about love, not meaning. Before watching this movie, in a certain class, Da Da told me the meaning of fingersmith, but I obviously forgot. Before watching this movie, I specifically checked the meaning of it, thief, pickpocket. But it always felt more than that.
Fingersmith, fingersmith love pick, two different craftsmen, one is a highly skilled pickpocket, the other is a well-documented secretary. At the same time, it also refers to chasing love. On the eve of the wedding, Maud asked Sue what his wife was going to do on the wedding night. Silly as Sue, only willing to tell the truth and try it out. When I think about it now, Maud's fixed gaze that night, the faint persistence, was actually indicating something, she's not a pigeon.
The candlelight is dim and bright, and when I wake up by Sue's kiss, I am touched by the touch of my fingertips. , She finally understood the so-called beginning. The scene she had read countless times in her uncle's book made her heart unable to calm down for the first time. Caressed like a pearl, gasping and sighing blended together, as if to hold one's breath, but fascinated by it. Sue is willing to take this as a dream that will be hidden forever, but she doesn't know that the innocent little girl in her heart wants more.
On the eve of going to the insane asylum, Maud asked Sue to put on her most beautiful clothes and pinned a heart-shaped brooch for her. While resenting Sue's betrayal and determined to send her away, Maud hesitated in his feelings for Sue. Undecided, inextricable. I remembered how she used to caress the two of hearts in her pearl-adorned gloves—the journey of the heart, both her own and Sue's. When she remembered the regretful tears she shed on the night she kissed Sue, I finally understood the pain she had hidden under the deep sophistication for a long time.
We guessed the beginning, but not the end. I can see their love, but I can't see the entanglement of their life experience. It was always strange, the uncontrollable excitement of the mother seeing Maud, the restraint and politeness of the gentleman to Maud, the sue, the exploited fingersmith with a heart of gold, struggling and thinking non-stop in the madhouse, by The self-righteous narrative from beginning to end takes us round and round and round and round until we come back here, this gallows. The end breeds another beginning.
