I like the interpretation of Griet losing her virginity here. The reason she does it is ambiguous, where as in the book it was almost explained. Griet probably didn't even know why she was doing it. Probably out of her mind horny from days of eye fucking with the master...
@MozartGirl1756 well she loves vermeer and she does what most women do who cant have the man she really wants....she takes her frustrations on whose ever available hahaha i know..ive done it ;)
Actually, she pierces her own ears and passes out thinking: "I've always wanted to wear pearls." This scene was altered to give them another level of sexual tension.
@CaskeyLee17 Well I believe she meant that though he painted her face very well, there was more meaning to the painting than JUST her face. That he did so well that he painted her soul as well, and was able to show it in her expression.
@VirginiaJJMae I agree with everything you've just said XD I was hoping he would retaliate somehow. *sigh* oh well. I guess that's what the imagination is for.
I like the fact that Scarlett doesn't say much in this movie, while at the same time, not having to resort to that whole "awkward close-up heavy breathing" thing they do in those terrible Twilight movies. Her character is awkward, but she shows that subtly. Well done. :D
@EternallyConfuzled She felt really guilty about what she did, posing for the portrait. To make amends with her conscious, and to please her parents, and Peiter, and to secure her future, she committed herself.
@hallonsyltmuffin I have that feeling as well. In the book it seemed like Pieter was the only acceptable way to carry on. She thought he was a good man but there was nothing like love.
@LeN0Re18 There is nothing Macho in "Minute 6 is the love scene sublimated". . It's what it is. Read a little psych. Virginity is a physical reality. Some never comprehend it. Ask Lady GaGa, Christina Aguilara, Madonna, those sort. Then compare those things to what is going on here.
@bcarls50 No, it is not. The movie is based on a novel which tells a fictional story of the circumstances that brought about the creation of Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring" painting.... mostly because very little is know about his work.
i'm doing the same thing right now but mine is just a whole bunch of journal entries and a plot graph xD though it was due monday. it's fairly boring i found until the last half ish
this film is fantastic, and the photography, sublime. It seems that you are seeing pictures of vermeer every moment. and colin firth it's really amazing performing vermeer.
well in the book they had been "courting" for months. but she felt she was too young, yet when Vermeer sees her with her hair gone she feels like shes lost her purity and lets go her inhibitions with pieter. in the book she pretty much says oh what the heck
@pinkfedora91 In my opinion it was more than one thing that led her to going all the way. The piercing of her ear was symbolic, emotionally to her losing her virginity. VanRyven is after her, and knows that Vermeer has kept his hands off her...knows she's still a virgin and wants her all the more for it. And lastly, Griet has been sitting all day in front of Vermeer and can't stand the emotional tension any longer. She's confused but also is learning what she wants...she loves Pieter.
I have not read the book so I might be all wrong but I do not think so.
I felt that she just wanted to recover her integrity.
For me, she was upset by the attempted rape, and humiliated from the knowledge that she had let the master make her sit before him, take of the cap and even pierce her ear for the private fun of that lecherous man. She felt that she would pay nearly any prize for partaking in the colorful world the painter had introdused to her and was scared.
i agree in the fact that you get so much more of griet's character and the way she thinks and in that shes a more dimensional person. although Colin firth in this definitely beats the mental picture i had of Vermeer (in a very good way)
none, it's all fiction! the author wrote the book based on what she thought the story was behind the relationship between Johannes Vermeer and the model!
in the book she says that after posing with her lips parted anything can happen to her.decent girls always posed with their mouths shut so the painting meant she was not "decent".also her relationship with pieter is much more developed and they have much more physical contact before they make love/have sex.she had been refusing to go all the way but after being painted like that she stopped caring.hope it helps in some way.the book explains much better than i can.
i get some of this movie, but not a lot of it. why did griet feel the immediate need to go and have sex with pieter?? is she in love with him? hes definitely in love with her.
Yeah I know. It's amazing how they managed to position her EXACTLY as the painting. Right when he says "Look at me," and she turns, that's the painting right there.
I wanna punch that little kid in the face so bad that he wished he hadn't been so disrespectful with Griet.
