The film is adapted from the masterpiece of French writer Flaubert. It tells the story of the gradual degeneration of a petty bourgeois woman because she is not satisfied with a mediocre life. In order to pursue a romantic and elegant life, the protagonist Emma commits adultery and commits suicide by taking poison.
The camera first showed a woman clutching her stomach in unbearable pain and finally fell to the ground and died, and then replayed the woman's life.
Emma went to a monastery as a girl and served God in the monastery, but she read a lot of romantic and wonderful novels. Married to a country doctor, Bovary, because her husband is busy with work and lacks spiritual communication with her, she prefers to be a girl with romantic feelings. Soon after marriage, Emma is tired of this boring and monotonous life. , She was also deeply disappointed by her husband's incomprehensible style.
Leon is an intern at a law firm, a so-called young man with extensive knowledge and civilized manners, and there is a certain factor that Emma and him get together. Until the relationship between them warmed up, just when a layer of window paper was about to be pierced, Leon was forced by his mother to leave Yongzhen and go to work in another city. Leon left, her feelings like a kite with a broken string.
At this time, a marquis invited her husband to a dinner party at the castle with her. Emma, who received the news, was very excited. In order to save face, she bought the most exquisite clothes on credit from the merchant. The Marquis's castle is magnificent, there are intoxicated balls, and exquisite and delicious food. This is the first time in Emma's life that she has touched the happy life she wants. She greedily sucked everything around her, keeping the long night as long as she could.
Emma bought a map of Paris and subscribed to a large number of newspapers and magazines in Paris' high society. Start reading these novels voraciously, as you did at the monastery. She was immersed in the daydreams she weaved and did not want to wake up. That's when Rodolph appeared, a dude who looked like a fake
When he walked into Emma's house from Rodolph and saw her eyes, he could clearly see her dissatisfaction with the status quo from Emma's dull eyes. So he took every step of the way, inviting the Bovarys to go hunting, to the nobles' balls, to horse-riding outings, and waiting for her to jump into his own trap.
Sure enough, Emma came back to life again and regained her youth. She pinned all her feelings on Rodolph, believing that only he could bring her happiness and joy.
Emma wanted to run away with Rodolphe, thinking that would solve all her misfortunes. Emma believes that only by elopement can she keep the happy life she longs for and the wealth she has at her fingertips. However, Rodolph was just playing with her and never thought of taking her away.
This man who conquered Emma's body and soul completely disappeared from her world. As a result, Emma was desperate and could not afford to be seriously ill.
Before Emma passed out, Leon, who had been away for three years, returned. As a result, Emma's romantic feelings were awakened by him.
In order to keep this relationship, Emma madly borrowed money to satisfy her image in front of her lover. She kept entertaining Leon, staying in the most expensive hotels, buying the most fashionable clothes, and using money to dress up their vanities.
Later, Leon abandoned Emma for fear of gossip. Because of her constant pursuit of pleasure, Emma owed a huge sum of money that she could not repay, and everything in the family was seized and auctioned.
The desperate Emma begged Leon to lend her three thousand francs to tide over the difficulty, but Leon drove her away like a beggar. Emma couldn't figure it out. It was obviously the money that was spent together, but in the end, she got rid of it.
Emma could only give up her dignity to go to Rodolph to borrow money, but the rich Rodolph said: I have no money.
In the end, she owed a huge debt and could not repay it. After she felt desperate, she took poison and committed suicide, so the scene at the beginning of the film appeared.
