A Dolls House (1973) - based on the play by Henrik Ibsen (Norway)
This is a review of an offering from Norway of this play - entitled "Et Dukkehjem" when translated into Norwegian)
A dolls house is an important movie for the world. Its ramifications couldn't
possibly be overstated. It is literally
about the most crucial decisions ahead of us and
that have been perennially divisive. Its about what value are real,
and most
worth defending, and who should our leaders be in discerning them for us, given
that the world has a psychological
dichotomy of sorts that has always been
unbridgeable between opposite psychological types as are presented in the
marriage
shown in this movie - and needless to say, cannot be sustained when the
facts of these differences are brought to light with
sufficient force of
emotion.
It needs to be noted that the rendition starring Anthony Hopkins couldn't have been
more miscast, in a way as to altogether
retard the basic argument. The contrast
between the characters involved. In fact the woman who plays
Kristine in this Norwegian
original work is essentially the type of person that
was picked to play Nora in the Hopkins version as it were although the
comparison
is only fundamentally valid and I don't go beyond that except to say
the differences are quite apparent when comparing these women
to our Nora in
this Norwegian true to the book version. In fact for those viewing this movie in
America, or Ireland etc, you will find
it hard to see Nora here as anything but
an Irish woman as that is in fact precisely who she is to you, if you have
studied some of the
history of the peoples of Ireland and where it is that they
broadly originate from, and so I hope your very special interest is altogether
captivated in her plight and your concern for her in our world.
At the end, the debauchery of the emotions brought about by a forceful
disclosure to one another that these two types of beings are
so fundamentally
different brings the character of Nora to see her husband in the movie play
"Torvald" as a devil in disguise, no less,
to her own mindset while he
sees her as a fallen woman of sorts, lacking a type of virtue as it were, given
that she has broken his code,
misguided and inane as that viewpoint is by
comparison.
Yet they will never come to terms with these differences of opinions as they are
born with different minds on the matter although some
would apply the nature
versus nurture argument to suggest they might be closer brought in the future.
This is both misguided and foolhardy
in fact. All that can be done is to protect
Nora better in that what she brings to our world is in fact the greatest care
and nurturing of a
real Christianly spirit - and we must see that she is never
assailed in her life as she is in this movie for being a good soul among men.
