haven't been here for a long time. will be having a heavier and depressing start this time.
Sylvia is a reflection of Sylvia Plath's melancholic and tragic life. Despite being a renowned female poet and half of the greatest literary couple with Ted Hughes, she was constantly under pressure to break awat from the patriarchal society in the 50s. Although I am not too familiar with her life, the atmosphere of the film just exerts that air of the hauntingly beautiful quality of Plath's work. Strong theme of feminism as well as liberation in depicted in the film.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Daniel Craig are awesome and actually I think Paltrow looks a bit like Plath. : )
have to start my portfolio on the English Patient and the Painted Veil, but I'm still blocked. so maybe I'll go and have some sleep and start doing it tmr. : )
