Miss Julie is the story of a high-society lady who falls in love with a maid, and this classic Play from the late 19th century in Streepberg has been reintroduced on stage and film for more than a hundred years (film versions were released in 1951, 1999, and 2013).
Now by Bergman's child's mother, Liv Uman, with her fame and easy to recruit Jessica Chastain, Colin Farrell and Golden Globe award actress Samantha Morton to launch the 2014 version of "Miss Julie", although the era and shape are maintained in the retro era set in 1890, but the class and gender explored in this seemingly old-buttoned love story, the debated faith, can still inspire us today.
Miss Julie (Jessica Chastain) grew up in the magnificent cage of baron's father, and as she entered her fancy years, Hormon exuberantly rushed through her body and drowned out her unhurried innocence, Miss Julie began to tease and provoke the family's maid John (Colin Farrell).
Although the maid John has a fiancée, the house's cook Catherine (Samantha Morton), he is difficult to control in the charm of the noble atmosphere and the nephrite body of the big lady, and he even uses his lifelong rhetoric to be able to kiss Fangze.
Well, originally the love thing is that you love me, but even in the 21st century, the economic class difference between women and men is still easy to cause social ridicule, not to mention that at the end of the 19th century, the class difference between thousands of gold and love for male servants is far more complicated and difficult than that of princes who love maids?
Moreover, when this unblessed relationship became a reality, the princess innocently asked, "Would you like to die with me?" The servant replied, "I don't want to die at all, I enjoy life." At that time, the world of the upper class began to collapse, and the conflict interaction of the upper class pretending to be okay was the reason why "Miss Julie" was so good.
Class is something that most people have been trying to eliminate since the beginning of human civilization but can never get rid of it, since ancient times it is an identity title to the present it is an inequality of economic power, and the moment of reincarnation determines whether we are good or not.
"Miss Julie" seems to be a story of a small male servant winning the baron's vendetta, but the despicable means used by the male servant in it show the purity of the baronet's thoughts, so that the audience can see that even if a high-class person does an inferior thing or an upper-class person, but the low-class person does the vulgar thing, it is simply a vulgar story.
Coupled with the mediation of gender relations, "Miss Julie" tells the story of women who are always at a disadvantage in love, which is far more difficult than class reversal.
This play of more than a hundred years ago, in the current view of the development of the women's affirmative action movement for more than two hundred years, its sad ending and the beauty of wanting to stop talking seem to have never been diluted by the progress and changes of time and the world.
