A tale of love, marriage, guilt and consequences
|
In our effort to develop and assist in the maturity process of two teenagers, we obtained this classic that delves on timeless issues of love, heartache, marriage, loyalty, separation, pain, guilt, and unfortunately ending in tragic consequences to at times, thoughtless actions.
The plot is set in 19th-century Russia and the families selected for this amazing story, for the most part, are part of the aristocracy. The protagonist, Anna, played by Nicola Pagett, is a very young and beautiful woman, married to a man much older than her. Not sure why they chose to marry, but you can tell that she is not in love with her husband but feels secure about the life his position and wealth offer.
Her husband, played by Eric Porter, Mr. Karenin is a powerful man, involved in politics, astute, methodical, and willing to live life without passion, at times giving the impression that he is numb to feelings.
They have a young child, who fills the voids in her mother and they are very attached. On a yourney that starts the movie, Anna meets an older woman and strikes a rather interesting conversation, but one that opens her heart to the older woman, who happens to be the mother of Count Vronsky, played by Stuart Wilson.
When they arrive at the station, they meet, and the Count is captivated by Anna's beauty, but even more, by the fact that his mother seems to be admirous of the young woman. Anna feels the heat of the passion written in the young, dashing soldier's eyes... and the spark is ignited. In time, Anna risks it all for the pursuit of true love, but guilt, remorse, and an astute husband that plays the cards to make sure she never gets what she wants, initiate the down-fall of this woman. The consequences of poor choices are painful to watch, but excellent to prepare two young women about to start lives of their own.
Sometimes we must ask ourselves... who do I want to have been... to make choices that ensure you get there... safe and sound of mind. Highly recommend watching this series, but make sure you allow the necessary give and take to gain insight and growth. |
