Just a short review, not a movie review

I have always felt that this ending was expected, but it was beyond reason. Tallie's character change confused me. Both the original book and the movie stated that she is not a submissive person, she is braver and rebellious than Abigail. The scene in the grove was a conflict of their minds. Tallie was unwilling to hide in marriage and meet her privately. Whether this frustration became the reason for Tallie's willingness to be "kidnapped" by her husband in the future is unknown. I think the best thing about this show is that Abigail's voiceover is interspersed in the plot, it fills her character, as she wrote it herself: "I find that everything I wish to tell her loses it's eloquence in her presence. " and Tallie said "because you're shy. But I bet you're more accomplished in your writing."

What made me uncomfortable and puzzled was Abigail's passivity, all the signs foretelling Tallie's danger, but she still waited anxiously for her visit, and didn't regret it until something happened.

Abigail walked into her heart, but never stepped into her life. She saw the radiant side of Tallie, but ignored her desire to break free.

Digression: I have seen some short reviews, and one of them is very impressive. The author said that the female protagonists cannot cheat because of their unsatisfactory life, and the male protagonists are too miserable. The empathy is really staggering at this point. To us, I would like to quote Mr. Luo Xiang's words: "The most terrifying thing in the world is that in an environment lacking common sense, some people who lack common sense are not only confident in their own abilities, but also firmly believe in their own value system. , I am also very proud of my moral passion." Also, TWTC has nothing to do with Brokeback Mountain, both are good works, don't introduce her like this, you can make a comparison, but don't describe it like a nesting doll.
