Girl with a Pearl Earing- best scences

[@rbsadler]

Someone asked why Griet was so protective of her hair, but it won't let me respond directly, so I'll just add: Griet was a strict Protestant; in the book I believe it's said she was a Calvinist, but it's not mentioned in the movie which sect she belongs to. Most protestants at the time, especially Calvinists, were very fundamentalist and adhered to everything written in the Bible literally. Therefore, when it is written that a woman should cover her hair, it was to be strictly covered (much like a Muslim woman taking the hijab) as a sign of diligence to God. Adherence to this rule varied by region, but you can see it in other Protestant sects like Puritanism and Quakers. It says in the book, however, that the way Griet wears her cap (with the points pulled so far down) is unusual, thus drawing a parallel with her strict religious upbringing and her quirky, atypical nature. The Vermeer family is Catholic, and therefore does not practice head coverings. Most Protestants were also expected to wear modest, unadorned clothing depending on which sect they adhered to, but Catholics were allowed to wear finery to the point that the local laws and church allowed. Catholics also have religious icons (strictly prohibited by Calvinism at the time), which is why we see her as uncomfortable with the religious images in the Vermeer household. In terms of Vermeer seeing her hair, to her, it would be akin to seeing her naked. Much like in many cultures around the world today, in her protestant culture, the hair would have been considered a woman's "crowning glory" and was not to be viewed by anyone other than her husband or close relatives. If anyone is interested at all in Medieval and Reformations history, I would highly suggest reading the book by Tracy Chevalier and then I'd be happy to recommend further (mostly light) reading.

Best film have seen and a good insight in the early baroque. Griet is the best of it=)

[@farwanqv]

Nice I want to read more as what you have described is literally equivalent to what Islam says.

[@ameliaedwards5379]

@@farwanqv Islam and Judaism both originated in the same place. Christianity is somewhat of an extension of Judaism. All three religions are surprisingly similar. Islam even holds Jesus as one of its prophets, similar to the way Judaism and Christianity have Moses as a Prophet.

[@loll-fu6ww]

I would like to read the book but I didn't find it in Google

[@vidhiseth3103]

That was a beautiful insight. Thank you. ☺️

[@Bagula596]

This clip is composed very well, making the viewer eager to see the whole movie. This film should not be missed, as it is a masterpiece of cinematography - a beautiful piece of art itself. Not at least through the slow camera movements, giving time to feast one's eyes and ears on the music, set design, costumes and beautiful makeup-art. Scarlett Johannson is so convincing with her great acting here. What a beautiful homage to the work of one of the great masters of art, Jan Vermeer.

[@smurfette_blues7922]

The sexual tension is great but honestly the best part of this movie for me is the concept of an accomplished artist and someone with an innate artistic ability and eye finding each other in complicated circumstances. Two kindred spirits that can never come together but are undeniably connected. As an artist myself, it warms my heart seeing them talk about colors and painting and composition with such tender passion. It's beautiful... this movie just sings to my artistic and hopeless romantic soul :')

[@streetvan1997]

You know they actually have no clue who the woman was right? That the movie is total fiction? Or your just saying you know that and warms your heart as a thought.

[@vidhiseth3103]

Absolutely!!! Perfectly put!!

[@nimitz1739]

Very true description of the movie but in reality he wasn’t an accomplished artist.

[@mard9802]

That gorgeous blue - it's lapis lazuli made of ground up lapis lazuli stone from Afghanistan > a very costly pigment used before ultramarine blue was invented in 1828. Just thought I'd share that...

[@salimahabdrahman8677]

Just watched this movie. Lovely love between Vemeer and Griet in a strange way. Through his art.

[@1011aleksandra]

In another time and place, these two would be lovers.

[@VOLKHVORONOVICH]

Not necessarily. Some things transcend cultures. And there are some, that to consummate a love is to destroy it. In this criminally over-indulgent age we have largely forgotten this.

[@idadudenmanner]

+VOLKHVORONOVICH exactly. Absolutely right

[@PipinKratky821]

In another time she would be an artist too.

[@lottie_newell5108]

Pretty sure the history is that he ended up murdering her...

[@rebeccam7717]

@@lottie_newell5108 What "history"? The movie is based on a work of fiction - a novel written by Tracy Chevalier. Very little is actually known about the life of Vermeer. Some scholars believe he most likely used his wife and daughters as models - including a daughter for "The Girl With a Pearl Earring". No murders involved.

[@nethragputtaraju5742]

I can't imagine anyone else who could perform better than Colin firth ❤️❤️❤️

[@kathymyers7279]

I like when she's chopping veggies in the beginning.

[@phantomwaltz]

Same. I can't find it anywhere!

[@anitabosse]

The orignal has a childlike look, an innocent smile. Something indescribable

[@juliamacielf]

Laura Prior, she was protective about her hair because in that period it was a way to show respect, since only married women could show their hair (just pay attention to Johannes's wife)

[@maradriatico1448]

yes

[@idadudenmanner]

The Vermeers were Catholic, not Protestant like Griet's family. Griet's family would have been stricter especially a young woman working outside of the home, un married, etc. But may be her particular denomination's (of Protestant) way that women wore their hair?

[@samanthaallen3317]

I'm ready to see this movie again it touched my heart.

[@VOLKHVORONOVICH]

Incredibly lovely music.

[@jiminhong95]

This whole movie somehow feels like asmr to me. So satisfying to watch and listen.

[@patheticmortal373]

Same. If you can't sleep this film will settle you. I searched out clips from this film for asmr purposes

[@larobalibros]

[@Josephinsen]

after watching this film- scarlett was a new actress for me. --> i totally agree with you.

[@rcartecorpus]

Colin Firth 😍😍😍muy love

[@celestial1933]

I have always been interested in art, and was especially drawn to the painting, "Girl with a Pearl Earring." The film gave a fascinating interpretation of on 'who' this servant girl was. It's unfortunate that more is not known about Johannes Vermeer.

[@mykylc]

He is and always will be one of my favorites.

[@kaavest]

On the other side, if we dont know all, the mystery thrill our imagination in a time of smart phones and easy information.=)

[@AnotherToyReview]

Whoever this girl was in this painting. Absolutely beautiful!

oh yes- the painting is amazing :) we will never know the true story- but especially this fact make the movie so myterious. :)

1:18 to 1:30 should be ASMR...omg

[@All_things_Daysi]

I was going to say the same.

The "real" girl doesn't look in pain at all. She looks happy and wistful to me.

[@phoenixwild6157]

I love this story. :)

[@maradriatico1448]

yes

[@MartaSpring252]

I like this movie.

[@hansstrik4704]

Is a very emotional film, Johannes Vermeer was very poor, there was one art lover who gave him money,he had ten children to take care for, he died very young due to the enormous suffering !

[@sassyd8738]

To Me she was the golden art a masterpiece to Paint her beauty captured his hands his eyes and little bit of his soul he looked to be amazed this young girl was colorful she knew art and her aroma of beauty in art and his art attracted his mind to go further do better in Drawing To me he was an artist in his time that wanted people to see his work the way she did He even dies watching the beautiful expression in his painting of her and the way they were what a beauty

I think the background music is like Harry Potter.

Good ears! Alexandre Desplat did do Potters 7 and 8. (He also did a Twilight film as well - I hope he spent the money on a good cause.)

[@rosiecw5488]

Haha he's so creepy at 3:13...why does he just watch her and not say anything?

[@decibellone696]

Why this movie is sad to me...I dont get art. all the artists that are so acclaimed. I cant even tell you who painted the "girl with the pearl erring" . WHAT I DO KNOW is when i see this painting... i look, it draws my eye, i am intrigued by it ... if that is what art is... "girl with the pearl erring" is as close as it gets for me. i cannot not look at it.

[@TaxingIsThieving]

Was my heart just cartilage - and you, a piercing gun at claire’s?

[@barbaradenicomedia114]

Colin Firth is not creepy at all here as everyone is saying Veermer was a strange Man. He was not a Man of ppl. But sad and misterious only talked when was strictely necessary

[@rickrose5377]

Wow.

[@linaatanasova375]

Why are the scene with the making the hole for the earing so important?

[@elamplough1]

Because it's important for the painting and has sexual tension. The movie in general is filled with sexual displacement and frustration, and the ear piercing scene is a moving moment of intimacy. It also suggests sexual penetration as he plunges the needle through her earlobe, spilling virginal blood.

[@HeyCuteEarrings]

Intimacy. He pricked her. Immortalized it in the painting, his gaze at her.

[@GhlazYT]

I have the original Panting

[@TaxingIsThieving]

Give it to me please

[@mavallarino]

Why the English accents?

[@hullyturan4233]

why don't they become lovers in the movie ? And why is Jan (the artist) acting like a creep towards the girl ? doesn't make sense...

[@2300GaryIndiana]

Why was Griet so protective of her hair??

[@elamplough1]

Griet comes from a strict, conservative Protestant background so her hair and body covering suggests a sexual and emotional repression. Thus the moment she lets her hair down, it symbolizes her emotional and sexual awakening.
