This movie is told from Anna's perspective, but she is actually a villain, cheated on her husband and abandoned her children for a younger man.

[@НиколайРоманов-л6ю]

Its not double standards that women lost everything for being unfaithful but men didn't, its called simple logic. If a man gets a Lover pregnant, he can deny the child as there was no paternity tests back then, or if the lover was poor he could send her away so she'd never be seen again, if a noblewoman who was unmarried or didn't spend time with her husband got pregnant what could she do? Nothing, she couldn't get rid of the child inside her. There is no such thing as sexism, never was, never is, and never will be, everything comes together if you just start to look by logic.

[@jgriffin282]

Tolstoy’s books were all about the outrageous disparity between men and women’s moral judgement by society at that time. A man could have as many affairs as they wished. With Married women or seducing young virgins, , it didn’t matter. A woman though? The slightest indiscretion was Unforgivable.

[@youdontknowme2913]

True that

[@asklily]

Exactly, the comments of today are still missing the mark, sadly. Can we really blame young women for falling in love with men their age when they never got to power to choose? Their husbands were often twice their age, and got their pick for "love."

[@beatrizbecker3728]

Yet Tolstoy himself treated his wife very badly indeed. Hypocrite.

[@Ojo10]

Well almost. The taboo was not in her having an affair, as her blonde friend often did, and gossiped about doing so. It's because she actually wanted to divorce her husband and the father of her child to be with the man she truly loved, and THAT'S what was a big no-no. At that time, in that social class, marriage was not about love and was about station and wealth. You married according to the social conventions and did what you actually desired discreetly, though even in this, yes women were judged WAY more harshly for it. But what actually made her an outcast was wanting a divorce, when her husband had remained loyal and wanted to be with someone solely for her feelings toward him.

[@يلانسويهة]

[@katerinaaqu]

I haven't seen this movie yet but in the book there were times I rooted more for her husband than I did for her! Well half joke aside yes I think Anna is a tragic figure in the original story but not because her suffering came from things she never did. She made plenty of mistakes in the book. In her book I think the purpose was not to show her as a victim that suffers like a martyr but that every single character in the book is a victim to Russian society. All the characters suffer in the book for their own reasons and among them I find her husband Alexey Alexandrovich being one of the really tragic figures in the book. But he just like Anna made many mistakes.

[@c2e.7877]

In general, arranged marriages, bonds only made for wealth and power

[@guest_5992]

She was naive and arrogant. They went about the whole thing in the most teribble way. Anna was too teen girl like, she really lacked any wisdom or experience in dealing with the situation. She wanted to stay married, retain full parental rights, live with her lover, flaunt around with him in public (with no care for her husband's feels and position) and everyone should applaud her for it. ??

[@jennievivi]

She abandoned her son. I would never cry for anyone who does that!

[@katerinaaqu]

@@guest_5992 I have to admit that what you say has plenty of truth in it. At times in the book one can see that she is reluctant of getting the divorce but not only because of her personal shame but also she didn't want to lose certain traits of a married wife. At certain points she seemed like wanting to keep them both in her life (her husband and her lover) and she even seemed to judge Vronsky for wishing the divorce so that be could give her child his name and have also a legacy behind and stop hiding and yes she absolutely didn't even think of her husband's position in many parts of the book. On one hand this is what makes the book so iconic; that all characters make mistakes and act realistically One doesn't need to agree on their actions to recognize that they do act like many of us would in similar situations.

Why does Vronsky remind me of Gene Wilder in "Young Frankenstein"? Anna's husband was willing to give her a divorce until one of his pious female friends explained that giving his wife a divorce would put her soul in jeopardy. In upper-class European society, adultery was handled discreetly with couples staying married but conducting separate private lives. This version of "Anna Karenina" shows the fate of Anna's illegitimate daughter. Although he is a prig, Karenin does the decent thing by bringing the child up as his own.

@@guest_5992 why should she choose between her children and her happiness?

[@katerinaaqu]

@@importantstuf8870 Because she cheated. In that essence she is at fault. She has made her position much harder by performing adultery. Yes one can understand why she cheated or even feel sorry for her and understand her position but still in that essence she cheated jot her husband. Her husband wasn't mistreating her either. He was just not the man she could love. But still even nowadays the position of a partner worsens in a divorce case if he or she is the one to commit adultery. In that essence her husband was innocent. Also why should Karenin choose between her happiness and his while he felt he was the one treated unfairly? He even admitted that because of the position she put him in he felt nothing for his son anymore because he reminded him of her and her infidelity. Ironically Anna does the same to her daughter by not showing her as much love as she did towards her son because she reminded her of the toughness of her position. Anyway the point is that she knew what she was signing up for when she cheated Oh and Karenin was going to give her her son if I recall correctly, when he agreed to divorce. She though suddenly felt ashamed and bad and she refused to take it so again her behavior is rather questionable but one can understand her given the circumstances. But she did abandon her son and then she missed him dearly and realized what she gave up for.

Anytime I’m reminded of this movie, I’m confused on why everyone is British. Did the director just let’s forget about a Russian accent oooooooor lol

[@user-tf2tt]

That always annoys me too, when films set in non-Anglophonic Europe are filmed using British English like we're all too dumb to know that Europe isn't just a giant United Kingdom. If it's going to be filmed in English, the actors can at least adopt a Russian accent. If they can adopt American accents, Russian should be doable as well.

[@3MB4R]

Same reason they didn't have Russian accents in Chernobyl I imagine, better to not bother than have people try and possibly do the accent poorly or be harder for the audience to follow. I'm not an expert, but I imagine that a Russian accent is harder to do authentically due to it being meant for a different language, rather than say an English to American accent or vice versa, since they both speak English.

[@darkale658]

Is a Russian accent any more genuine than a British accent if they're speaking English anyway? Does it do anything for the story to force the actors to put on an accent?

[@mermaidgoat9351]

I read somewhere that regardless of where the film is set, if it's outside the US, movies commonly use British accent simply because it's foreign.

Почему у них должен быть русский акцент? Герои книги говорят на своём языке без какого-либо акцента. И, раз героев играют англичане на своём языке, то у них тоже не должно быть акцентов.

being an inlove woman in those times wasn't easy

[@katerinaaqu]

Well to be fair she did cheat on her husband (although one can understand that getting a divorce was not as easy as it is nowadays especially since her husband was religious) However I disagreed with her behavior a lot in the book. She first demanded a divorce but begged to keep her son and then when she gave birth her husband felt her struggle and gave her the divorce but she did not accept it and she ran off with Vronsky for Europe and she didn't take her son with her either. In the book I believe we do not want to portray Anna as a poor woman who suffers despite what she does but rather that she suffers because of her decisions later on and the real villain in the story was not her husband but Russian society that puts the pressure on all characters. I personally felt for her husband a great deal in the book and not only for her. In fact I found her husband a very tragic figure

[@ioanadumbravean6771]

@@katerinaaqu Let's not forget that in those days, women were married ( by their parents) at very small ages with men who could be their fathers( love was out of question), and the girl's feelings didn't matter at all. Anyway, nobody asked them if they wanted or not. I only believe Anna was born in a wrong century..........

[@katerinaaqu]

@@ioanadumbravean6771 And let's not forget that men's feelings didn't matter either. Those men who were married by agreement to these younger girls that could be their daughters were often arranged by third parties that saw as convenient for economical reasons or political career. Karenin had no saying to the marriage either. He saw the benefits of it due to Anna's family background but he didn't choose to marry her. And again that doesn't justify Anna's behavior although it is understandable and someone can absolutely sympathize with her we still see the mistakes she made. Likewise with Karenin. He's a deeply tragic character and yet we see the mistakes he made as well. Karenin was even blamed by others that he was "too kind" with her and "too altruistic" and that "he crushed her with his big heart". He was actually ready to give her the divorce and make the sacrifice at the same time and society till judged him for it. In this novel Anna is not the only one who suffers and is misplaced by society. Literally everyone is.

To Live, or Not to Live, That Is the Question “To be, or not to be, that is the question,” mused Prince Hamlet in the so-called “nunnery scene” of William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. Every year, around the world, some 800,000 people answer this question negatively and take their own lives. Even worse, suicide is one of the leading causes of death among young people. Why do people, especially young ones, take their own lives? Is it possible to strengthen their desire to live? The authors of the Talmud wrote, “For two and a half years, the House of Shammai and the House of Hillel disputed. One side said, ‘It is better for man not to be born than to be born,’ and the other side said, ‘It is better for man to be born than not to be born.’ They concluded, ‘It is better for man not to be born than to be born, but now that he is born, let him look into his actions’” (Eruvin 13b). Indeed, if an alien were to land on Earth and look at us, it would probably say, “The pathetic humans bump into each other, ridicule and humiliate one another, and do everything they can to ruin each other’s lives. No wonder they are so depressed. Why did nature create such miserable beings?” Suicide is the extreme consequence of a series of problems that afflict people to the point where they decide to end it all. But even before these problems become too much to handle, they make us ask about the meaning of life. After all, if life is only about survival through ordeals, then it is indeed better not to be born than to be born. The thing is that when we begin to ask questions about life, or as the sages wrote, “look into our actions,” we begin to grow. Pain leads to spiritual development that lifts us to realms we would not have dreamed existed, and we would not have searched for them were we not forced by pain. The key to these new realms lies in fostering positive connections among people, in emerging from the mindset of alienation and narcissism we have so devoutly nurtured until now, to find that when we sympathize with others, we gain rather than lose. We win new perspectives and new ideas, new wisdom and knowledge, and new friends. By changing our attitude to others, we change our world. Moreover, by choosing who we bond with, we shape and reshape our world with every new acquaintance. In this way, no world is too harsh to live in, since we can always change the people we connect to, and in so doing, change our world. Also, there is no end to the insights and knowledge we can gain since there are always more connections to make than we can establish in our lifetime. And best of all, when we connect with other people, we attune ourselves to our surrounding reality, which is already connected and would have worked in perfect harmony if we, humans, did not disrupt it. The more we develop positive connections, which aim to support and nurture rather than depress and oppress one another, the more we expand our perception of reality. We find that the reality we have known until now was only a “corridor” to a deeper and more expansive perception. If we want people not to take their own lives, we must give them a reason to live. When people understand what life is for, they will have a purpose to go through life’s trials and tribulations. As Nietzsche wrote, “He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.” Therefore, our task today is to reshape our connections in order to reshape our world. The world reflects our attitude toward others. If we jointly transform our attitude toward others from abusive and aggressive to considerate and caring, the lives of all of us will change, as well, from a losing battle to a smooth and pleasant ride. It is really up to us.

James 1:11 11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. Matthew 22:34-40 34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matthew 18:19-22 19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them. 21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. James 2:14-17 14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he have faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 1 John 3:14-18 14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

Разве можно сравнивать нашего Вронского в исполнении В. Ланового и эрзац в другом исполнении. В нашей версии, Вронский аристократ,благородный человек с безупречным манера и, необыкновенный красавец, от которого можно потерять голову. А второй - просто бледная тень Вронского и очень напоминает купчика или приказчика в лавке или полового в трактире. Иногда своеобразное виденье режессера в постановке картины, приводит к печальным результатам.

@@ИннаКазанцева-в9ъ Прямо поражает небрежное отношение иностранных режиссёров к постановке русской классики, в отличие от наших, которые глубоко вникали и учитывали мельчайших нюансы, когда ставили зарубежную классику. Даже зарубежные критики писали о том, что наши очень близко к материалу ставили фильмы о зарубежной жизни. Действительно, бедный Толстой, не подозревал он, что из его великого произведения сделают дешёвую мелодраму.

Most people agree that this double standard was, and is,(yes of course it still is the case today!) completely unfair and hypocritical. So why does it continue today??!!! And if many people agreed it was unfair back then, in the 19th century, why did it continue back then as well??!!! .....Because we perpetuate it! Because women are mean to other women! Because men benefit from this double standard! Because because because...aaaarrrgh!!! So frustrating!!!! I've heard my high school son's friends continue this double standard of being much harsher about women than men for the same behaviour,and it's the 21st century!!!ok so I will continue to rant privately about that one for awhile while I ask another question: the marriage thing. Why didn't Vronsky want to marry Anna to legitimize their relationship??? That's another one that remains a problem today. Let's face it, people are pretty judgemental about that marriage label, and if you know that to be the case, why not do everything in your power to help the situation???Yes I know this is a work of fiction, but it's another issue that continues to this day!! Some people, sorry guys most of the people in question are indeed male, continue to be with a woman yet refuse to marry her, even if she feels a bit hurt by that. Now what is that really saying, everyone?? If both people truly agree they don't want marriage, fine, but we all know that is rarely the case, and if one person wants, and one person doesn't, what does that mean???Not a good sign. Idk. Opinions? Oh, Vronsky is gorgeous, so's Kiera; gorgeous heartbreaking infuriating story, beautifully crafted and cast film.

The entire conceit of the film is that it is supposed to be highly theatrical and Brechtian. The majority of the film is shot in a dilapidated theatre. The costumes, which the director and designer decided to be more 50s Dior rather than late 1800s, are just another aspect of what the film was going for.
