Because reading an article on the movie started Ralph Fiennes's journey ~
people who seem a little strange at first glance, are both good and evil. Ralph's deep eyes have been imprinted in his mind since the contradictory role of the English patient, and this biography may just be a reminder.
The White Countess is Ralph's film about China, which is probably why I started here. It seems that these American producers have never given up their interest in the land of China. The veils of the first two years were also applauded, because they were always so unreal. Shanghai is always the first choice for foreigners, and this time as well. Because the Russian countess occupied by the war worked as a dancer in a nightclub in Shanghai, a dancer's hat covered the halo of the family, the people in the family were ashamed of her, but they had to rely on the money she earned to support their lives, not even letting Sophie reach out to your own children. For a long time people sneered at women who made public appearances, Sophie's life was honorable but so sad, she didn't have the courage to leave the family, because the title was the only thing she was proud of in her bones. But so what, women are always tied to their families, I always want to say that I will jump out of this circle and live my own life, but there is no conclusion in that situation.
Todd lives a free life, losing everything from his wife and children. But when everything returns to dust, the hope of life becomes shattered. Continuing to live in this free life may be the only home he continues to live in, so Todd lives in the drunken dream of his own construction, surrounded by the thickest door in the world. Until he realized that he was going to lose the Sophie who had been with him inside the thick door, that moment the walls fell and life was rekindled, even in the darkest and most terrifying war years.
It is an expected ending, but there is too much satisfaction, and too many uncertain numbers are in the more distant future.
