Appreciation on the film of Tess of the D’Urbervilles
We used 190ms to watch the film of Tess of the D’Urbervilles which gave me a deep impression. Then I would show you some my opinions about this film’s theme and pilot I agree with most.
Before I introduce my opinions on the film itself, the scenes, the pilots, and the actors and the actresses, maybe Ishould begin my job at the theme, the sin and the love.
In the Occident outlook, there is only one thing which can help oneself atone, it is love. In this film, Alexander’s love to Tess, and the love between Tess and Angel which constitute the complex and exciting pilots. How can we criticize these loves? Can we blame Alexander’s hypocrisy to cheat Tess? And how about Angel’s deserting to Tess? If we want to get the answer, we should analyze one question that for Alexander and Angel who hurts Tess more.
We should remember that when Tess lost her precious virgin that she even didn’t know men at all, which just as what she said in the film, “At that timeI didn’t know men at all!”, but Angel didn’t want to listen to her explanation at all, neither. From the film and the book, we know at the beginning of the story, Tess was just a girl. When Alexander started his so-called love to Tess, he just concentrated on one immoral and evil job with the only goal of getting virgin of Tess. Yes, we have to admit that he was successful, Alexander got the most precious thing what Tess lost, and
also we find that was the origin of all the nightmares. But what did Tess do to fight against Alexander for her profits which belonged to at the first place? Tess left to come back home to be sneezed, bullied, and laughed by the villages, to come back to give her baby birth. Tess at that time was so simple, she didn’t know men at all, she didn’t know the society in the beginning at all, but he knew it in the end, so we should not surprise that she would accept Alexander again when she and her families got into hardship. Tess just left, without crying, without compliments, because she hadn’t love Alexander at all, what she wanted to do is to forget him as soon and completely as possible. Alexander hurt Tess in the body, the physical aspect, Tess would forgot it and no one would know her painful story if they were not pleased to gossip or Tess herself to do that , but she did, and she destroy her by herself.
In the dairy factory, Tess fell in love with Angel in a mature lady position.They had the true love without doubt. But Tess thought she couldn’t cheat Angel, yes, I appreciate her good personalities, but in my opinion, maybe there always be some lies and secrets to your love which would be good for yourself and also your love. Angel didn’t listen to Tess’s explanation at all, and he just wanted to join the hypocrite who had laughed at Tess. Tess loved him so much, she forgave Angel, and wanted to have her own happy life, but Angel at that time was not standard to become her love at all, I thought. Tess lost herself in the cruel society, she
didn’t know what she should do, where she should go, whom she could believe and love. Angel used his coolness and cruel words and manners to play an actual comedy, Tess was the victim.
Alexander hurt Tess in body, but Angel hurt Tess in spirit which would destroy in anyway. So I think Angel hurt Tess more, and we should blame him more. But after he came back from America, he realized his foolishmanner; he confessed it and chose his true love again. So we could say Angel was the true love to Tess.
The other aspects I want to say about this film is the scenes. The nature scene in the film is very beautiful, especially the plain and wildfield in Scotland countryside. The farming scenes just draw me into the reality of harvest in my hometown. As if the film is just the reflection of the reality. In the film’s end, Tess and Angel got to the Big Stone which is famous for its long history and mystery. But we also could have an idea that the director wants to tell the audiences that the love between Tess and Angel is perpetual as the Big Stone. They separate with each other, but no one could deny their true love.
That is all my opinions on this film, different people may have different views, but I just want to show mine to you.
