The special thing about the film "All the Time" is that it integrates fragments of the original author's life into it, but this also makes the overall layout of the film seem a little obscure.
Even so, Nicole Kidman, who played the film's lead actress, won an Oscar for Best Actress. This may also prove that this movie has its own excellence.
Most literary and film works do not deliberately avoid death, but on the contrary, they can be used as a form to increase depth consciously or unconsciously. But the number of "deaths" of characters in the movie "All the Time" is also rare, especially in the eyes of ordinary people, which is also something that some viewers who know Woolf's life cannot understand.
Maybe death was just another form of existence for her.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Woolf's death — breaking free from the shackles with flesh and blood, madness or fate</h1>
Woolf's death is broken down into two parts by the film, appearing in the first and last acts of the film.
In the film, it can be learned through the conversation between the family doctor and her husband Leonard when he wakes up in the morning. To avoid Woolf from falling into danger of an emotional breakdown again, her husband will take her to the countryside to live a quiet life. Yet this bondage is undoubtedly fatal to writers who must throw their lives into the impact of a turbulent crowd.
So when her husband asked her, "Virginia, have you had breakfast, that's what the doctor asked of you," her response was, "Leonard, I thought of the first sentence at the beginning of the novel." She answered everything upside down, and her words told the prosperity of London over and over again, trembling only for all the indulgence of London to shine.
London! London! London! She walked away with a trembling whisper and caress as gentle as a lover. This eccentric, crazy, incomprehensible woman, perhaps between this woman's world and reality, there is only one path that can accommodate her alone.
London, London again. The family of my sister from London came to this quiet town to visit Woolf's illness, which can also be said to indirectly push the atmosphere of the whole play to the climax.
The seemingly distant but distant distance between the two sisters symbolizes Woolf and her longing for london. "Do you think one day I'll escape from such a life?" The answer was imminent, and the previous wandering and wandering were finally caught together by the sound of the heel and floor tapping of the shoe when the sister left, the corner of the white dress that was twisted when she turned, and the time when the coachman urged the train to leave, only for a spark to ignite it.
The path of chasing and running towards the self is not destined to be smooth, such as Virginia. Barely mentally prepared, he staggered to less than halfway through the road and was still accused by his angry husband. The devil said to Woolf through the mouth of the screenwriter, you have been confused, crazy, auditory hallucinations for writing, you want to exchange your talent, you want to find control over life.
Woolf said, I would rather be considered ungrateful, would rather be shaken by the sights of the metropolis, and I would rather pay the price for what I want, even death.
Woolf's words are full of words, and she also inherits the fact that at the beginning of the film, she has a premonition that she will fall into a state of emotional madness again, so she writes a farewell letter of affection and lets the flow and death take everything away.
There is always a kind of person in this world who is born to fly like a footless bird and die and land. The sky is their background, and flying is their pursuit of eternal life and the meaning of their existence.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Laura Brown – "birth" and "new birth", the path of conception of babies and mothers</h1>
As a female reader of Woolf's next period, Laura's life is relatively happy compared to the people around her, with a husband who loves her deeply and a well-behaved and lovely son, but she does not like the monotonous life of a housewife.
On her husband's birthday, Laura prepares to bake a cake as a gift to express her love to her husband, but she is not proficient in housework, she can only dryly follow the recipe step by step, and all kinds of deliberate behaviors reveal the helplessness and boredom in Laura's heart. Then, in a conversation with her sick neighbor, Laura realized that everyone's life seemed to be so helpless and boring, like the soft flesh inside the mussel shell pierced by strange stones, which could not be removed from the pain of flesh and blood.
So the pregnant Laura drove her baby to a neighbor's house, taking her reading "Mrs. Dalloway" and a bottle of sleeping pills to the hotel to end her life.
As the tide of drowsiness swept in, Laura gradually drowned in the trapped water, as if completing a life-and-death self-contest in her dream. A shocked Laura caressed her stomach and sobbed, she did not want to go with the flow like this, overwhelmed by the vulgar life she was tired of.
So after giving birth to her second child, Laura cut off all ties with her family, relatives and friends, and went to Canada to start a job as a librarian.
No matter what kind of choice anyone makes in the world, in the final analysis, it fundamentally points to its original mother-child relationship, and the delivery of the baby means to leave the mother's warm womb, which is the first birth door of life. The mother who chooses to abandon her child is unforgivable, which is extremely cruel and destined to live in moments of self-remorse for the rest of her life.
But in order to fulfill that true self, in order to live, Laura and we sometimes have to make choices.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Richard and Crolissa— he pushes her into reality with a fall, the final elegy of love</h1>
It can be said that until the end of this film, I seem to have an illusion, the fate of the three protagonists in the film except the author himself is created by her, and the reincarnation is carried out in the meantime. She is both a Creator and a Spectator;
In the three characters of Laura, Richard, and Crolissa, perhaps Woolf pins her unspoken words to the reader on the character of Richard. I liken the role of this character to a bridge, a road connecting dreams and reality.
In the film, Mrs. Crolissa is an excellent magazine editor, and on this day, she is going to hold a party for her former lover Richard to win an award for a new book. However, after she told Richard the good news, she exchanged it for his cold words, "Isn't it because of sympathy that I am a seriously ill and dying person who gave me this trophy?" "Mrs. Dalloway, you always cover up your inner loneliness with the bustle of the party. Richard's words provoked Croliza to turn around and wipe her tears.
Richard understood that he and Crolissa were two vines that were attached to each other and intertwined, using each other's warm strength to fill the vast expanse of pale and dead silence in life. However, the significance of such a life is only that some people are still walking, and some people still have a skin bag.
Richard was deeply clear and understood, so he let out such a deafening cry. It's just that Crolissa's years of love and care for him have nourished him like a vine and at the same time strangled into the depths of flesh and blood, making it difficult for him to break free. What's more, two people hanging on a vine, no matter which one is disconnected first, the end is both falling.
When I step on a bridge built with spirit and body through the crevasse of the cliff, if the bridge breaks, someone will suffer twice as much. In Woolf's setting, Richard's identity implies a prophet, and he understands that his entanglement with his lover, Crolisha, must end here, and they must also come out of their good memories.
After all, the green years that Crolisha and Richard had both had at the age of 19 could only be frozen like black and white film, and the illusion of indulging in memory would eventually be swallowed up by the illusory self. That's not really you, Mrs. Dalloway, Richard said. So he used his leap to push Mrs. Dalloway into reality.
It is true that they are all falling, one is to use the fall to complete their yearning to return to the ideal world; The other, finally out of the false shell, honestly face the moments of life. Because we know, no matter what, whether we are forced or willing to do so, we and them are inseparable from every moment in reality.
I remember that near the end of the film, Woolf and her husband Leonard had such a dialogue about the fate of the novel's characters, "Why end the life of the poet", "To show the meaning of our cherished life", the woman replied so slyly and calmly, I smiled slightly.
This woman's language is like a rolling hot current, like a hand of red and dazzling blood, so that the night is also invisible, high to her life, her lover, all her vows, and then firmly to the beacon of light exclusive to her.
