A short review of the film "Quiet Passion"

This film tells the life of a poetess. The biographical form is beautifully filmed. It calmly narrates the love of poetry by the poet Emily Dickinson. Her life is a life that very few people can really walk into. , she is eager for marriage and love, no one can escape from birth, old age, sickness and death, she is plagued by illness, and ultimately cannot escape death.

For her, poetry was her solace in the afterlife and surrounded her. Her sister Winnie, a pilgrim, Aunt Elizabeth, with a serious and old-fashioned education and aloof attitude towards death, said: "If we would surrender ourselves to God, there would be no fear, and he would pave the way for us. of."

In the film, Aunt Elizabeth criticized Winnie for her strong vanity and her understanding of vanity. Winnie held a very objective view: "Vanity is a harmless shortcoming, and it is superficial when people indulge in it."

"Quiet Passion" is like the name of the movie. It is a quiet inner passion from the outside world. There are no earth-shattering waves. It is like a faint fragrance of grass floating in a trickle, and it is like shoes covered with soil in a wet field. It interprets her resistance to the status of women in that era. Equality between men and women is her wish, and the times isolate her. The repressed part of her heart, expressed in the film through the action and facial expressions of the characters, is deeply sympathetic.

Her father said to her: "The expression in true classical literature comes from men, not women, and I am afraid that women cannot create works of lasting value."

Emily insisted on doing what she wanted to do, and poetry became a part of her life. No one can take it away. Life is limited. In the short decades of life, people can live their own lives, whether they are dull or enthusiastic.

Appreciation of Emily Dickinson's sentence in the movie "Quiet Passion":

For every moment of ecstasy, we must repay the extreme pain, go through hardships, and experience bitterness and bitterness in order to exchange for the unrestrainedness.

For every lovely plan, I will pay for years of meager wages, half a cent of my heart and a money box full of tears.

I guess that when I count everything, poetry comes first, then the sun, then summer, then heaven, and then all the ordering is done.

But looking back, poetry already contains everything and everything else is meaningless, so I put everything into poetry...

It's brave to fight with a shout, but I know it's more heroic to fight a cavalry that's troubled inside

If you win, no Chinese will see it

If you fail, no one will notice

those dying eyes

No one will stare with the zeal that has been loved...
