Madame Bovary, 2014, directed by Sophie Bathers, starring Mia Wasikowska, released in the United States in 2015
"Madame Bovary", this is the representative work of the famous French writer Flaubert. Only after hearing the title of the book and watching the movie did I know what the story was about. After watching the movie, I realized that there are other versions. This is the 2014 edition.
This story tells about a girl Emma who grew up in the countryside. She lost her mother when she was a child and was raised by her father. She studied etiquette and female labor in a monastery. When she was old, she went home and married a country doctor, Bovary. Ceremony (in the novel it is said that Mr. Bovary meets Emma at a doctor's visit, and the two have a certain emotional foundation, but this is not explained in the film). The days after marriage were not as young Emma imagined and yearned for. The village doctor Bovary was rigid, old-fashioned, and uninteresting. He only had his village doctor job in his heart, and he got up early the next day to take care of him. The patient, completely disregarding the retention of his newly married, young and beautiful wife, instead left the sentence "I am your husband only at night" and got up and left. Even on the wedding night, Emma was not taken care of, but Emma, who was playing an unknown game with her male friend, stood by the window watching her husband walk out of the yard, her back was full of loneliness and loneliness.
In the days that followed, Emma at home was like a bird imprisoned in a cage, with no social interaction and no hobbies (so women must have their own jobs, careers, hobbies, and circles. No landslide, let alone a man as the center of his life), the food he spends his time fiddling with is looked down upon by his husband who prefers to eat fruit, and the topics discussed with his husband at the dinner table are only the patients, diseases and family members of the patients that they do not like. , All this made Emma tired and deeply felt that this kind of life was not what she wanted in the first place.
Then, three men appeared in her life. One is the shop owner, who praised Emma crazily the first time he entered Bovary's house, recommended various expensive furniture, clothing, and accessories to her, and said that he could lend Emma money for her credit. Open the door to a new world, and change the curtains, ornaments, and carpets at home. It feels as if you can make yourself happier and happier by changing these external things. The portrayal of "Bao" cures all diseases, and buying and buying can make people feel better in an instant?). One is a beautiful man, Leon, who is a friend of Emma's husband. Once he came to Emma's house as a guest, he was deeply attracted by Emma (it was later proved that it was only hormonal fluctuations caused by his appearance), although Emma was He didn't accept his show of love, but Leon's handsomeness, empathy, and romantic interest kept stirring Emma's heart. It is conceivable that a person who has been dry in the emotional desert for a long time meets an oasis with lush water and grass. How excited. Later, Lyon moved to Ruen, a small town not far from Emma's house, which further stimulated Emma's excited body; Marquis, who was also a friend of Mr. Bovary, a rich blond and long-haired man, Inviting Mr. Bovary and Emma to participate in his hunting activities, Marquis sent Emma a private meeting invitation through a small note. Since then, Emma thought she had found true love and fell into the quagmire of desire.
The appearance of these three men was initially attracted by Emma's good looks, and they threw the olive branch of desire heaven to Emma, but they were not deeply involved in the world, and before they could fully feel the passion of youth, the beauty of love, and the material life. Emma, who is in a boring marriage, is like an adolescent girl who has just been exposed to heroin. When she gets out of control, she keeps paying the store owner on credit to satisfy her material desires. After spending a few months with Marquis, she thinks she has found true love, and even wants to abandon her. Her husband expected her lover to take her away to Paris, and went to a private meeting with Neri&Hen and Lyon on the pretext of learning the piano. All these made Emma think that she had touched the beauty of life and was no longer confined to the village doctor, the patient and the patient's family. In the house, you can live a different and better life.
However, free pie will not fall from the sky, and material and love will not be a good harvest. Soon, because Emma has too much credit, her husband is about to go bankrupt and the house will be repossessed by the court, and Mr. Bovary has therefore Extremely disappointed with Emma, Emma ran to Lyon to borrow money because she wanted to repay her debts, but Lyon unilaterally announced her breakup because she disturbed Lyon to work many times and caused bad influence to Lyon. I heard that Marquis, who abandoned her and went to Paris alone, came back. , I thought I had driftwood, but was humiliated by the other party. What makes me feel sick and heartache the most is that in order to let the middle-aged greasy and cunning store owner give grace, he sent a signal of willingness to commit himself, but was ruthlessly rejected...
In the second half of the plot, the heroine Emma's emotions and situation were forced to the edge of the cliff through the stirring music, the strange eyes of village women, the ridicule of colleagues in Lyon, and the rejection of the church priest. Medicine, stumbled out of the house, and finally died in the quiet, lonely woods.
The first impression I felt after watching this movie was that I wanted Amway to show it to my husband, and urged him to care more about his wife and not ignore the spiritual world and material life of his daughter-in-law, Keke. As I said before, women must have their own work, life and circle. They cannot focus on men, let alone rely on men to change their lives and destiny. If they have such an idea, most of them will The basket was empty. The three men in the movie all have bad intentions and mentality, so Emma's ending is destined to be bad. What the film tells us is that you must have two hands, and you must work hard to become rich; you must have two eyes, and you must know people. Of course, it is very important to be good-looking and interesting. Otherwise, if Mr. Bovary is handsome and humorous, Emma wouldn't be so reckless, and ended up like this.
