John Ruskin是英国维多利亚时代的艺术家、诗人、建筑师、思想家，还扶持培养了一批年轻艺术家，不过成为社会新闻的却是他与Effie Gray的婚姻，两人结婚6年之后Effie要求中止婚姻，理由是两人“从未真正成为夫妻”，这桩官司成为一时谈资。John Ruskin承认两人从没上过床，但为自己辩护说妻子的“某种状况”破坏了他的激情。Effie Gray离婚后，嫁给了受John Ruskin重视提拔的画家John Everett Millais。据艾玛·汤普森说，这部新片将从两人的新婚之夜开始，通过John Ruskin的经历和性格来解开这个谜团。

Dakota Fanning replacing Saoirse Ronan in Emma Thompson's 'Effie'
August 16

Just last November, one Casting Tidbits update revealed The Lovely Bones star Saoirse Ronan landed the title role in Effie, a biopic about Effie Gray, the wife of English art critic John Ruskin, who became entangled in a famous Victorian love triangle. Now Deadline reports Dakota Fanning will star in the period drama from writer/actres****a Thompson which chronicles the strange romance, or lack thereof, between Gray and Ruskin. Despite her beauty, Ruskin was said to be disgusted with Gray's body, did not consummate the marriage and annulled it, allowing her to marry Ruskin's protégé John Everett Millais.Though Orlando Bloom was once attached to play Millais, apparently Tom Sturridge (Pirate Radio) has stepped into the role. In addition, Thompson will also star in the film as Lady Eastlake, who takes Effie under her wing when it becomes clear the union was destroying the young woman. Her husbandGreg Wise (Johnny English) will play Ruskin while Julie Walters (Harry Potter franchise) and Derek Jacobi (The King's Speech) will play his parents. Finally, Edward Fox (Gandhi) is in talks to play Eastlake's husband Sir Charles a man who was not only fed up with Ruskin and his radical ideas, but also the main patron of the Royal Academy which held sway over what constituted fine art.
Richard Laxton (An Englishman in New York) is directing the film which begins shooting in Scotland on October 17th with shooting to follow in London and Venice as well. The cast has been shuffled on this project for awhile with Carey Mulligan once attached to the title role as well, but a copyright infringement claim held up the film, which resulted in scheduling conflicts for the previously attached cast members. Producer Don Rosenfeld says, "It’****a Thompson’s first original script after doing several fine adaptations, and it gets to the heart of Victorian England." Though this sounds a bit more along the lines of her work on Sense and Sensibility as opposed to Nanny McPhee, her work on the page should make for a great British drama down the road.
无聊至极，白左对极右的无力回击。一看到同志亦凡人的暴论我就无法克说，豆瓣真就开始和阿B、逼乎等一样全员降智，暴论迭出呗。
说实话，初看这部电影，并没有太多共鸣，因为不了解那段历史背景。对于真实历史事件改编的电影，最大的收获是其介绍了一段不为大多数人所熟知的历史，它会促使我们去探索历史的真相。在查阅了维基百科之后，了解到这个事件和1968年相当广泛的一系列民主活动有深刻的联系。
“与我的政府对我的蔑视相比，我的蔑视不值一提”
民运也许存在很多问题，但这绝不是思想审判的正当理由。当法律沦为政治的走狗，那么自然法上的正义就不复存在了。对正当程序的背弃、对政治迫害的容忍、以及对公民最基本权利（生命和自由）的肆意剥夺，都是这种状态孕育而生的产物。这是一个完完全全的警察国家。
“永葆热爱，永怀善良，永远温柔”仍然是我们面对残酷最好的武器。
叙述方法比较朴实，如树桩生火慢燃，前期烟很浓，等到多线叙事之后，明火熊起，屡屡有爆响，但又一直沉稳不漾。这个剧本经纬密集，看的就是其繁复不乱有风的微观细节，真是以秒来计，操劳两小时的活计。
教科书级别的剪辑，以及这一大票演员的出色演出
想请所有人往窗外看看，自己所处的是50年代还是60年代。
艾伦索金一贯的台词经典，1969年的美国，还是这么落后，我突然觉得我们也不要悲观。#20201020
仿佛在看好老婆。立个flag今年补完West Wing！
有什么用呢，现实不还是周而复始的上演，人类啊，就是这样
应景是一回事，但如果艾伦索金最拿手的台词没有起到作用，那么他就会显得相当平庸，结尾强起的bgm印证了这种无力。除了萨沙的艾比霍夫曼外人物都颇单薄。“把一件事情说明白了”可算不上什么像样的标准。

开篇一段剪辑凌厉，不了解这段历史的观众需自行查阅补充背景，中间利用庭审来逐段还原事件的真面目，但索金的意图明显不是深挖而是借古喻今。前半段法庭戏好似疲于奔命的美剧，后半段金句频出，可惜全都是浮于表面的论述，大概索金还是驾驭不了如此宏大的叙事。只能说今时今日回顾这段历史的意义肯定大于索金拍出来的意义。
开头与结尾的BGM就昭示着这是部庭审爽片XD结尾被感动到了，大概是“自己没有的权利只能通过围观来过瘾”心理吧（“我从未想过我会因自己的思想获罪”，感觉此类题材的庭审佳作都以此做母题（所以我们拍不出来，嗯……））
A great musical telling an inspiring true story in an exhilarating fashion that celebrates decency and kindness!
整体很精彩，是一部带有索金鲜明个人风格的电影。稍显不足的是有点过度娱乐化了，以及控辩双方并没有形成真正意义上的对决，完全是一边倒的表演。
同样是游行示威与警察发生冲突的庭审题材，同样是流媒体出品，本片和Steve McQueen的Mangrove比起来简直是云泥之别。且不谈两人在剪辑与对演员的调度上的差距，索金所一向擅长的理想主义鸡血、子弹般的金句到了本片也变成了无休无止的口号与exposition，对人物的塑造也相当表面
太好听了！不过音乐剧还是要看现场的！荧幕上真的差太多
对于这段历史不了解，但整个影片发展到后期令人热血沸腾，是那种压抑后的热泪盈眶~
