I feel very sorry for all the women in this film. They're constantly being used, abused, and objectified by men, even if they're not conscious of it and even if it's not their fault. I especially feel sorry for Catherina, even if she doesn't handle her jealousy in the right way, because she hasn't done anything and she can't understand why her husband suddenly doesn't seem to care for her anymore. And as for Griet, I think she's just very confused.
@deadzonefan13 Open the other eye will ya? Vermeer's mother in law isn't being used,she is the user.Catherina is a moody bi tch,imagine growing up with her mother??You KNOW her hand was hit plenty too.You are young,be careful,sometimes women act used,to use you.For a guy that don't care he knocks her up allot.
@AnnabellaChase The reason she doesn't take off her cap around others is because only higher class ladies and the woman who work in brothels bare their heads. When she shows her hair, to her, she's showing off the wild side of herself and it's also a different her, like an alter personality. Most women of the lower class would be brought up the same way as she was and not show their hair either.
It's funny to hear how English speaking people pronounce Dutch names. But it's weird though. I mean.. just imagne: a movie about famous (American or English) persons and they speak French! Would be kinda bizar huh?
@TheAuntVera Van Ruijven is Vermeer's patron, so his livelihood depends on humouring him and indulging his perverse wishes. None of them can afford to displease him, as they risk ruin (like the neighbours at the beginning of the film). They are all slaves to his whims, that is what she means.
The whole thing is so sad. He IS married. His wife is a harridan, but she IS still his wife, and mother of a whole team of children. I do pity her; she probably never completely got over it. Obnoxious woman, SUPER obnoxious child, I just feel like it is not okay to go into another woman's house and fool around with someone's marriage, someone's life.
@rubyflipper And I'm saying that Catharina IS obnoxious, her daughter worse. I meant it doesn't justify the relationship that IS there between Griet and Johannes even though it wasn't really physical.
@pemchem i mean the mother acts like the painting is going to wreac havoc upon the family. nowadays, if a kid accidentally spots a nude magazine cover, its no big deal. chastise the kid and life moves on. but these people overreacted over the painting and possibly everything else. thank GOD i'm a modern day human being.
@musiqtube1 Sorry, I'm still confused... By the mother, you mean Maria Thins (the much older woman)? Yes, it would wreak havoc! Haven't you been following the story? Back then it was pretty common for women to have miscarriages, so Maria Thins is worried that if Catharina sees the painting, she'll have a miscarriage from the shock. Also that van Ruyven (sp?) guy keeps hinting that Vermeer is sleeping with Greit, so Catharina is starting to suspect this.
Scarlett's skin makes me wonder why people bother with that tanning crap.Makes me wonder why people bother with lightening/darkening their skin at all. It looks so pure and natural.
@XxxxSunsetxxxX--Crap to you,you don't go in the sun allot,when you are in the sun every day in Hawaii,where it does not snow ever,and have olive skin,your skin gets brown.You apply coconut oil so it does not dry out,and you get darker,and darker,until dark brown,so what,I can't be pure now? I like it. People who lighten their skin are unhappy with their coloring,I am not.Some of the tourists that come here in February,look dead,they are so white,the land walking dead.
@billy1212ist Uhmmmm..I'm black, and dark-skinned. XD Dark or light skin can be pretty, so long as it's natural. I'm just saying most women in Hollywood with Scarlett's complexion would be baking in a tanning bed.
@billy1212ist okay, so you bash on this person because they said something nice about white skin and not dark skin? yet you literally bash white skinned people that come to your country, you say they look dead. xsunsetx did not say anything against dark skin, what you said is much more offensive, hypocrite.
Even if the wife seems like a money grabbing cow who's only concerned about her wealth and expensive lifestyle, in a way I do feel for her for putting up with a husband who just can't seem to keep away from young beautiful servant girls, especially Griet, right under the same roof. Rather awkward.
@123kooful well her hair symbolizes virginity and as a young lady she hides it...when vameer told her to put on another scarf and he looks at her...its kind of a violation...but vameer found her breathtaking and he looks away because he's trying to resist her...she on the other hand didn't mind it after awhile because shes pretty interested in him too...
@123kooful In those times, the laws of acting according to your status were very strickt. A servend had to hide their hair, as they were forced to wear specific clothes. Breaking this law was brutaly punished. Griet was, as other girls her status, raised in order to hide her hair and show them only to her husband. Today, taking of a cap in no such thing, while back in 17th century, for a servant it was outragious. It was like showing your breasts. So, hope i've explaint it.....
I'm actually annoyed by Griet's coyness. She startles at éverything a man does.
And I don't like it when in movies english is used as the language of the nation that is not english. They can't even pronounce Vermeer, if they turned the names english too (altho it wouldn't match the reality anymore) it wouldn't sound so silly
"Lick your lips...again...again." his eyes are f**king her mindless! I love the ambiguity of Vermeer's stare when he's in the room with Griet and his wife. The wife is being driven mad: "Does he stare for the sake of studying his art or stare for the sake of his sickening infatuation?!" You have to feel bad for her to some degree. She's fighting a battle she absolutely cannot win. Not to mention she IS pregnant with his, what?... 3rd... 4th child?
I never realized how good this movie is. I've seen it a couple of times and never realized the opening shot on almost every scene seems like a painting. I can't figure who's cinematographic work was the inspiration for that type of scenes.
@Krystal2290 i guess because a woman hair in the past was mostly long and hair is very sexual, very sexual to men, always has. That is why in islam women cover there hair in modesty, and to keep from attracting men other than her husband.
love that colin says to her you are not to sit with van ryan that is agreed. she as so happy to hear tat. such relief on her face. so great that he said that.
@JadeInBlack777 yeah e said sit because she thought she would have to sit near him at the dinner table and she is genuinely creeped out by him. colin saying that shows how much he cares about her.
@esroosh326 Probably to see what she really looked like. She wouldn't show him so he snuck up on her. He though she was strikingly beautiful i bet. She looks a hell of alot prettier then his wife.
@zimmyiscool Yeah but just cause hes older doesn't mean he cant think shes beautiful. Just cause he does think that doesn't mean their going to get together and have babies. Hes an artist and a painter. He sees beauty in things and likes to show his sense of beauty. In his case young women are beautiful, unlike his wife who is old and winy, he probably doesn't think she beautiful anymore, cause shes not.
she has a strong personality, but it is expressed in thoughts rather than actions. towards other people she may seem quiet and shy. To show her personality in her movie they would have had to record her thoughts or something..
EWW ok Love hte movie cause it's like an actual work of art, but seriously Master Van popo face is sooo DISGUSTING!!! please tell me that they just acted like they because of the time!!!
Oh yeah and as I continue to watch this movie,
COLIN FIRTH= HOTTIE WITH THE LONG HAIR AND VERY TONED BODY!!!!!!
I know! I wish Scarlett had this hair all the time in real life and with that fair skin. It's really stryking. When I first saw that scene, I thought it was so breathtaking.
This was also the era of the Puritans and the reformist Protestant movement too. In fact, the Puritans before leaving for AMerica did spend time in the Netherlands. I like the historical accuracy in this film reflected in the characters.
@343studios Look at the "Girl with Pearl Earring" and tell me Vermeer wasn't at least lusting in his heart... Sadly, Mrs. Vermeer may have mistaken gifts with love. She is played as a loving wife wanting the attention of her husband, to me. However Vermer is played as being bored with a wife he has nothing in common with, except enough lust to spawn unlimited Catholic babies.
@343studios read the book and you shall find that he doesn't make very much money. They had barely enough money to hire Griet. And that's because he doesn't paint very fast, 5 months on one painting.
@jacqui9988 Yeah, but the movie is a bit different from the book. You can't compare the book to the movie so I don't even try. Two separate interpretations. The things is though that Vermeer actually makes a decent living. Not rich salary but enough to affording luxuries and things even if he
Artist, while seen as poor, some actually lived good lives. The wife is still money grubbing though and stuck up, so my point still stands. She even seemed a bit egotistical at times.
Yeah, well, but why do you think she´s doing this? Carrying all his children (which wasn´t fun back then, I guess) while little maid is having fun with her husband?
and also religious piety. Griet in the movie comes from another Christian denomination from that of her Master's. I think she's supposed to be Catholic.
When I read the script for the movie Griet's mother says in the beginning (also in the movie, but the script is more clear - the sound here was a little fuzzy so I had a hard time making it out, lol) to say her prayers and mind the family because they are Catholic. So, I assume that she might be Protestant, etc.? ^^ Peace out.
my heart goes out to the wife. i read the book and at that time i totaly sympathized w/ griet but now since my dad cheated. i feel so bad for the wife. i mean shes trying to keep his interest always pregnant w/ his children and meanwhile he's making cow eyes at the maid
Becausein the book she wants to be remembered as the clean, neat Griet. And she also says that her hair isn't fine enough to be worn loose like a lady's.

"look at the point of the shadow leading the eye"....he was basically looking at his wife through an artist's eye.

I know! I wish Scarlett had this hair all the time in real life and with that fair skin. It's really stryking. When I first saw that scene, I thought it was so breathtaking.

It's kind of funny how back then seeing a girl's hair was so scandalous.

This was also the era of the Puritans and the reformist Protestant movement too. In fact, the Puritans before leaving for AMerica did spend time in the Netherlands. I like the historical accuracy in this film reflected in the characters.

wow, you're right. I didn't feel anything for Catharina in the book, but her actor looks so despaired... ):

i can't believe he stands there and watch's her fixing her hair.
i feel sorry for his wife, i mean, it's got to be hard for her. =( she's always trying to get him to look at her and he's to busy looking at Griet.

I can't stand the wife to be honest. It seems like she is always money grubbing. She is always worried about money and her jewels.
Vermeer is only concerned about painting which she just completely ignores his talent for the money he makes

@343studios Look at the "Girl with Pearl Earring" and tell me Vermeer wasn't at least lusting in his heart... Sadly, Mrs. Vermeer may have mistaken gifts with love. She is played as a loving wife wanting the attention of her husband, to me. However Vermer is played as being bored with a wife he has nothing in common with, except enough lust to spawn unlimited Catholic babies.

@343studios read the book and you shall find that he doesn't make very much money. They had barely enough money to hire Griet. And that's because he doesn't paint very fast, 5 months on one painting.

@jacqui9988 Yeah, but the movie is a bit different from the book. You can't compare the book to the movie so I don't even try. Two separate interpretations. The things is though that Vermeer actually makes a decent living. Not rich salary but enough to affording luxuries and things even if he
Artist, while seen as poor, some actually lived good lives. The wife is still money grubbing though and stuck up, so my point still stands. She even seemed a bit egotistical at times.

Yeah, well, but why do you think she´s doing this? Carrying all his children (which wasn´t fun back then, I guess) while little maid is having fun with her husband?

It was indecent in those days for servants to show their hair... it separated them from the wealthier classes

and also religious piety. Griet in the movie comes from another Christian denomination from that of her Master's. I think she's supposed to be Catholic.
xman4un 2 years ago
When I read the script for the movie Griet's mother says in the beginning (also in the movie, but the script is more clear - the sound here was a little fuzzy so I had a hard time making it out, lol) to say her prayers and mind the family because they are Catholic. So, I assume that she might be Protestant, etc.? ^^ Peace out.

Yes...definitely Protestants, the cap which hides a woman's hair back then to evoke humility is a tell-tale sign. Loved this movie.

Why does she not want to show her hair?
JasmineLovesArt 2 years ago
Becausein the book she wants to be remembered as the clean, neat Griet. And she also says that her hair isn't fine enough to be worn loose like a lady's.
