at first i think i be go to hate my brilliant career . at the very begin the main character come off a be very pompous and narcissistic . however and a the movie go one adapts and even understands such an attitude . sybylla be cast from all three level of societal income while from living in middle class and to visit her wealthy aunt ( all the while pamper like a baby ) and even force to become a servant to a poor family . what make sybylla an interesting character be refusal to give up . throughout the entire movie she insist that she not go to get married she go to have career instead . this may not sound odd at all by today standard but the movie take place in 1897 and back when woman be treat a if they be object and with everything decide for them ( a the movie clearly illustrate ) . even when she propose to by a wealthy man ( frank ) and practically offer a life of leisure and prosperity and be the very independent young woman she be and give up the offer and laughing at the very idea of marry a man for money and not love . while sybylla herself do not change much and it interest to see how other character develop a they deal with her personal thought and attitude . what be unfortunate about my viewing of the film be that it be on vhs . the aspect ratio be cut so there be a loss of image and the picture quality be just plain fuzzy . i guess we will just have to wait for the dvd release .
