Bluebeard
Bluebeard (2009)
Setting
-venue: convent “buried in prayers is worse that buried alive)
-characters: two sisters (making haste to be married off)
Begins with losing a child nun (i.e. Catherine) (she is recognized as a spoiled and impertinent kid)
Catherine has been exploring a hidden and forbidden room
Juxtaposition of another story (revealing her past): the father threw himself at the carriage to save a child and died (sacrifice)(choice is wrong??)-> the child nuns are sent away by Mother Superior
Castle: “the poor have to work their hides off for the rich.”
“ It was built because of wars. It’s a fortress against invasions. Barbarism’s everywhere”
← Bloodthirsty Bluebeard’s castle
← Justice is for the rich, not the poor
← Hated Mother superior
“you’re too young” -> cant listen to bluebeard’s story,
Nor father’s corpse
Catherine is reading Bluebeard to her sister
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You have to be poor to love him- Bluebeard is rich but ugly
Bluebeard offers a marriage -> wealth (kindness)
(e.g. Cinderella’s plot- inviting eligible to the party)
Humorous side of Bluebeard: One should realize who one is
Sensitive: realize himself being the monster (hidden evil is more horrifying)
Compassionate: it will be her turn to be beautiful
Outdoing her sister out of jealousy by marrying Bluebeard ??
Sisterhood??
Demanding for her own bedroom and Bluebeard allows with some considerations
Kind-hearted bluebeard who doesn’t compel his wife to do anything against her will.
The keys and the rooms (no forbidden room)-
Your beard isn’t blue
Loves luxurious and gets used to the materialistic life
- Romanticism between bluebeard and the girl
Solar eclipse being observed
Curiosity converted to learning during the lord’s leave
Bluebeard remains mysterious
Forbids
