At first, when I saw the film "Marquise", I was reluctant to write this article, because the film is full of carnal desires and drunken fans, and it seems to be somewhat out of place with the conservative ideas of the East.
It wasn't until I went to Douban to turn over the reviews that I learned that the reason why this movie can be nominated for many awards is also its merit.
The movie "Marchis" tells the story of a young girl from the countryside who is willing to dedicate herself to the "road of acting". This film not only reflects the girl's love for the stage, but also reflects the girl's dedication to love.
As we get closer to the prologue of the movie, we can see a girl in dirty clothes dancing in the streets.
Perhaps because of the appreciation of the girl's beautiful dance posture, or the coveting of the girl's beautiful figure, more and more people come to watch the performance, even if the sky is drizzling, it can not stop people's love for beautiful things.
And this girl who often sells on the street is the heroine of this movie, Marcis. A man from a humble background, but always with a dream, "longs to perform on a bigger stage."
Perhaps impressed by Marquez's sincerity....
By chance, Marquez, who was performing, happened to be photographed by a passing Molière troupe. In contact with each other, Marquez was naturally taken to Paris and began her journey to the world of high society.
Perhaps attracted by Marcis's beauty and dancing style, Molière, who was nearly 40 years old, expressed his love for Marcis and proposed marriage. Perhaps to realize his dream, or perhaps for something else, March did not hesitate to agree to Molière's marriage proposal.
As Molière's wife, she did have more opportunities to stand on the big stage and show herself. However, Marquez may not have been born to be an actor, and when she first appeared on stage, she forgot her words because of nervousness, and she trembled on the stage without saying a word, or Molière broke the siege.
However, the later Marquise never got any important roles, and could only play roles such as mute women or wood in the play. Devastated, Marchis, in order to regain her important role, did not hesitate to sell her flesh and asked Molière to give her another chance.
Unfortunately, the man's mouth deceives the ghost, and never believe in any promises that a man gives in bed. It can be seen that the promises that men easily give are extremely unreliable.
Afterwards, Molière did not fulfill the promise he gave, which made Marquez feel dead, and made Marquez understand that the love that was casually said could not be taken seriously.
Subsequently, a desperate Marchis came to the river to prepare for suicide, but was pulled by the poet Racine to avoid the end of the tragedy.
The poet Racine was undoubtedly also a person who greatly admired Marchis, and after learning about Marchis's story, Racine invited Marchis to become the heroine of the tragedy she wrote.
Racine's invitation made Marquez seem to see a little glimmer of hope, even if this shimmer was not yet bright and brilliant, but it made Marquez rekindle her desire for the stage.
In order to perform on stage, Marquez tried to practice her lines and dance postures, and Racine taught Marquez hand in hand.
In the day-to-day practice, the two young hearts gradually came closer together. The handsome and talented Racine is enough to capture the hearts of thousands of women, and Marquez cannot resist the temptation and gradually secretly approves of it.
Sure enough, with Racine's help, Marchis's performance was a great success, so that many upper-class people knew this beautiful and enthusiastic woman.
Marquez's success is undoubtedly due to Racine, and every move of the two is remembered by Molière. Marches, who has a husband by her side, really discourages Racine. So Racine planned to poison Molière. Perhaps Molière knew that his limit was coming, and for the sake of the second half of his wife's life, in front of the hospital bed, Molière entrusted Machis to Racine and hoped that the two would be happy.
Molière's death did not make Marquez sad for long. Soon, she was thrown into new works and couldn't help herself.
Marquez's success was unquestionable, and just when the beautiful girl could finally express her beauty in the most legitimate and moving form, she suddenly realized that she was pregnant.
Marquez is a tenacious girl, and in order to keep herself playing, she makes Racine promise her that she will never change roles.
As a result, the persistent girl put herself in a place of doom, hiding Racine's own pregnancy and entering the cold pool to recite lines in order to please the king.
When she got home, she fell ill, and it was the illness that made her faint on stage. The maid she had devoted herself to teaching seized the opportunity to finally replace her.
When she woke up after three days and three nights in a coma, she found that the applause outside was thunderous, just like her first victory.
Just then, she swallowed the poisonous chocolate and rushed to the stage, her voice saying the lines in her heart: "Tragic actors always appear in the first act and die in the fifth act." What are those scenes in the middle doing? Who knows? The tragic actor pays for his own life, she plays the role, I play myself. After saying that, she screamed and fell on the stage.
She's blaming Racine for not keeping her promises, she's blaming why fate is unfair to her, she's blaming herself for choosing to be an actor and embarking on the path of being wheeled.
The beautiful and flamboyant Marquise finally ended in a dismal ending. Maybe she shouldn't have set foot on the land of Paris, maybe she shouldn't have fallen in love with Racine's amorous poet, maybe she shouldn't have made "an actor" her only goal in this life.
However, there are not too many ifs in life, and although The tragic Marquez did not get happiness, the beauty of her blooming on the stage was still engraved in the hearts of many people. Even if it was short-lived, it also bloomed the glory she deserved.
