Martin Scorsese, in his unique way, describing the eternal topic of love and points the different understanding about love in differet times.
Martin Scorsese always been good at depicting realism in lower New York social life, this film can be said to be his big break from a film career. In this movie, The clothing, food, luxury decor, and people are very Exquisite. It has a very slow style,full of memories and love.
In this film Scorsese showed great patience, he makes unceasing camera quiet down and let static images to tell the story, and in the quiet surface of the screen it conceals huge unquenchable tension and rhythm– upper class people live with a well-trained and talk to each other in well-built wording, the repressed sexual impulse rolling in their hearts, the characters lived through those moments never live a innocence life.This is the topic that the movie wants to show. But it still convey a graceful and dignified.
The script accurately reflect the spirit of the novel.In order to restore a more realistic that era,Martin Scorsese spends a lot of time in the way to show the fine food, the High cigars, fine fabrics, clothes, painting and the background music. Everything in the film are silvered, filled with crystals, velvet and ivory. The room was filled with Victorian furniture, paintings, candelabra chandelier, sculptures, plants, feathers, cushions, antique and people wearing the clothes which can match it. This film was colourful.Scorsese used lot of slow or Static shots to describe this story
this is a beautiful film.
