I know the name Emily Dickinson, or from "Read Poetry for You", because of a poem:
Why I Love You, Sir
Why do I love you, sir?
Because --
The wind never asks for grass
Answer, why he passed
She had to waver.
Because he knows, and you
You don't know --
We don't know --
We have that wisdom
That's enough.
Lightning, never ask the eyes,
Why, when he passes by, he has to close —
Because he knows, it can't say—
There's some truth to that —
It's hard to say --
Cultivated people would rather understand—
Sunrise, sir, makes me unable to help myself—
Because it's sunrise, I saw—
So, so -
I love you —
At that time, I was already asleep when I listened to this poem, and it seemed that the sound of the wind was also heard in my ears, whether it was the rhythm or her expression of love, there was an indescribable grace and clarity. I later listened to this poem many times, and I liked it very much, it was richer in love and meaning than the love level and meaning expressed in Shu Ting's "Iris That Can Sing".
Recently, because of the epidemic, I occasionally look for some film and television dramas to watch, and I am deeply attracted by the name of "Quiet Enthusiasm", and I know that it is about Emily Dickinson after reading the introduction. Judging from the film's effects and performance methods, the film is not particularly attractive, but as a biographical film, the play basically restores Emily Dickinson's life, thoughts, love and love of poetry. To be precise, she is not a love of poetry, poetry is a part of her life, a very important part, a window through which she sees the world, feels the world, and expresses her heart.
Serenity of Passion is a drama/biographical film directed by Terrance Davis and starring Cynthia Nixon/Jennifer Ellie/Duncan Duff.
If you look at this movie to understand Emily's living state, the movie itself is still good. But this film is not just a biography, it shows the heart of a seemingly simple and calm poet in an almost white way, but it is warm, self-sufficient, and lonely.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >, the ego, right there, why ignore</h1> it
Born into a family of lawyers, Emily lived a monotonous and peaceful life as a teenager, and later devoted herself to writing poems, composing more than 1700 poems, most of which were relatively short and mostly written at will. Her poems had a great influence on modernist poetry, and was hailed as a pioneer of new poetry in the United States in the 20th century, and Bloom ranked her alongside Whitman as the center of the English literary classics, which shows its historical status.
The film begins with Emily's experience at school, about "redemption", the teacher asks everyone to make a choice, in a group of female students, she does not stand on the left nor to the right, the teacher has angry expression in her expression, she said: "I was not awakened at all, how to repent?" I don't feel sinful, how can I repent? "Yeah, a lot of times, before we even think clearly about our own thoughts, we make decisions in a hurry, those decisions that follow the crowd.
In our own life experience, in the face of some important events, most of us will be interfered with by the outside world and make choices that are not necessarily the most desired in our hearts.
Emily has chosen to listen to her inner voice on several important things in her life, and she can't ignore her strong insistence on herself, even if her family opposes it. But fortunately, she had a harmonious home and her father was very supportive of her. It is precisely because of family reasons that Emily has not been affected too much from the outside world in her life, and she has always struggled with herself and the philosophy in her heart.
A sepal, a petal, and a thorn
On an ordinary summer morning—
A bottle of dew—one or two bees—
A breeze — a horse betel nut growing in the woods —
And I am a rose!
This poem reminds me of the rose in "The Little Prince", she is proud and willful.
Because of its elegant and noble appearance, roses are often used as a symbol of beauty. In this poem, the poet uses the rose as a metaphor, which is actually mainly a manifestation of personality.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, loneliness, calming, but also painful</h1>
The film "Quiet Enthusiasm", the narrative techniques and pictures feel very calm, most of them are portrayals of her personal life, such a film, if not supported by specific cultural elements, will be boring to watch. The cultural element in the film is Emily herself. Wherever she went, there grew poetry. It can be felt in her smile, words and deeds.
In her daily life, she loves gardening, plants, cooking, and enjoying her life.
Her life seemed to be without any waves, but no poet was calm, and their enthusiasm was hidden in the calm, like the sea, and the waves were churning under the calm sea. Emily is a very enthusiastic and highly sensitive person at heart. She puts the feeling in her heart first, and that feeling is her worldview, and it is also the boundary between her connection and isolation from the outside world.
She fell in love with someone, but the other party had a family, and she turned that feeling into poetry, precipitated in every word. That's all she can do to compromise and resist.
Several times in her life, the love is romantic and hazy, even if the heart is entrusted, but she cannot give up her independence. In those days, marriage meant the role of wife and mother for women. She didn't want to go her mother's way anymore, so she preferred not to get married.
For her, she can incarnate as any character in the poem, living every life, exploring love, nature, death, eternity, and self-essence. She is rich enough to live in the spiritual world of herself. But in the process of her walking forward, there will be a lot of helplessness and pain.
I could have endured the darkness
If I hadn't seen the sun
Yet the sun has made me desolate
Become updated desolation
As she grew older, Emily saw her dear father and mother leave one after another, and later felt the torment of illness in her old age, and she had a deep thought about life in her heart.
I watched the play in general, and it was calm until finally she left the world, and the narrator recited the verses she had written, and suddenly burst into tears, as if she had also felt the years of her life. In that poem, it is her attachment to the world, her interpretation of loneliness, and her thinking about life and death and eternity, which is the life of each of us:
I have lost two loved ones
But I still don't know
Heaven has arranged it
Third time
So painful, so desperate
Those two lives and deaths
The deceased thus see heaven
The living therefore taste hell
Say goodbye to my past life
Say goodbye to the world I've known
Just kiss the little hill for me
Now I'm ready to leave
For I cannot stop and wait for Death
He was kind enough to stop and pick me up
It was just the two of us in the carriage
There is also the "Eternal Life" seat
We walked slowly, and he knew there was no need to rush
I also put aside my labor
and leisure in return
His courtesy
We passed by the school, which coincided with recess
The children were making a lot of noise, on the playground
We gaze past the fields of rice that gaze at them
We pass by the setting sun
Maybe it should be said that he passed us by
The dew made me shiver and chill
Because my clothes are just tulle
My shawl, just silk
We stopped in front of a house, this house
It was as if it were a raised ground
Roof, barely visible
Eaves, below ground level
It has been centuries since then
But it seemed shorter than that day
That day, I guessed it for the first time
Horse's head, toward eternity
The film "Quiet Enthusiasm", whether it is interpreted or felt in the picture, is like Emily and her poems, simple and unpretentious, but contains deep meaning. No tight plot, no fancy embellishments, like our lives. The film ends with Emily's death and her poems, which are recited by the protagonist, which sounds like her parting and a farewell to an era. In such a farewell, it is her deep affection for everything in this world.
The film interprets the life of one person, but also the life of all people. The flower of calm, enthusiasm, self, and loneliness has become an eternal bloom in the long river of history, but at this time, there are countless flowers of peace, enthusiasm, self, and loneliness that wake up to love themselves and love everything in this world...
