Min Ji-suk runs a "ticket bar"where customers can purchase tickets for certain "services"in the town of Sokcho in Gangwon-do. She hires Miss Yang (Ahn So-young), Miss Hong (Lee Hye-young), and Se-young (Jeon Se-young) through the employment agency. Miss Yang and Miss Hong, who are well experienced in this type of business, are used to accepting propositions from customers. But Se-young, who is dating a college student named Min-su, rejects all requests for sexual favors. When Min-su professes to having problems with his tuition and finances, Se-young reassures him that she will procure the necessary funds for him. When the bar's clientele begins to dwindle because of Se-young, Ji-suk reprimands her severely. Se-young develops a close relationship with a Captain Pak and even allows him to sleep with her. She asks Captain Pak to find Min-su employment on a boat, but when Min-su comes to Sokcho for his new job, he sees how Se-young has been making her living. Shocked, he turns his back on the job and leaves. When he eventually returns to Sokcho, he scathingly denounces Se-young's morality and severs their relationship. Decades ago, Ji-suk had stumbled into the bar business in a desperate effort to support her husband, who was serving time in prison; she later left him voluntarily out of shame and moral degradation. Concerned that Se-young will end up with the same fate, Ji-suk asks Min-su to meet with her. She begs him not to abandon Se-young, but he flatly refuses. Ji-suk reacts by pushing Min-su into the sea, and suffers a mental breakdown that lands her in a psychiatric institution.
爱情，爱情，该死的爱情。
百年前的评论、炒作、诋毁等各种手段从内核与当下无异。
他将停止幻想，他将开始生活，他将找到内心的力量。
剧本真的很老套，塑造主角从籍籍无名到声名显赫以至于最后众叛亲离的幻灭过程，背景和目光聚焦于党派争斗，在上层人士的翻云覆雨里，政治与媒体，不过是狼狈为奸的手段罢了
原作有两个主角，电影砍掉了其中一个，只聚焦另一个，或许是出于篇幅的考虑，但也让思想性削弱了很多。作为名著改编，在影像上几乎没有什么令人惊艳的段落，而且大段的旁白让影片看上去又很像超长版的故事梗概。最大的价值大概是还算可以吸引观众去阅读原著吧。
一个城乡结合部青年，凭借着天赋和野心，在魔都历幻，在红尘历劫。金钱与名誉的游戏，权力与欲望的魔法，赤裸裸呈现。强盗在他们的城堡论功行赏，歌女在锦绣的舞台期待掌声。游动的笔尖投出标枪，尊严的铠甲被击得粉碎。华袍之内跳蚤密布，面具之下包藏祸心。满堂猪狗，走兽活猴。哗啦啦大厦倾，俱尘灰满面，断壁颓垣，残肢哀嚎不忍听。
眼见他起高楼，眼见他宴宾客，眼见他楼塌了。
西方音乐史刚刚讲完浪漫主义末期的歌剧，没想到看到这样的作品，仿佛现身说法了。我喜欢这种文学化的叙事，几乎全是巴洛克或古典以及浪漫派的配乐，油画般的舞美，整个观影过程非常享受，正合我意。
卡洛琳以爱为吕西安冠名，然鹅被恶意鼓动起来的野心和时代撕开了吕西安在夏东和德·吕邦普雷之间的人格分裂，直到最后，两个身份全部幻灭——我是谁，我从哪里来，要到哪里去。
The illusion called capitalism
吕西安无法留在巴黎，卡洛琳死在巴黎，爱与美都在这里凋零——他将停止幻想，开始生活

★★★★ 乡下文学小青年到巴黎大都市的体验生活来了，来时雄心壮志，去时看透炎凉，巴黎虽大，终不是自己的家。
标准的年代剧罢了。旁白是偷懒，男主空有皮囊。可以看看隔壁的Fabian。
我真没想到会被这么古（老）典（旧）的叙事感染到，一些地方值得细品。
资本的世界，都是玩物，有权有财，才是赢家—导演李玉超
看吧，有金钱和文字的地方，就有虚荣、谎言、嫉妒、争斗…… 两百年前与两百年后并无差别。 Lucien 身上有巴尔扎克早年巴黎经历的影子，而Nathan则是他幻想中的自己。仔细想想演员选得挺合适的，Benjamin Voisin虽然不是正统帅哥，但脸上有那种天真与狂热交织的感觉。
过气演员大联欢。也许19世纪的东西真的不适合21世纪了。我们看巴尔扎克，就像剧里的人拿脏水泼的拉辛一样陈腐。想起老王说19世纪，the nineteenth century dislike of Realism is the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass; the nineteenth century dislike of Romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass.
一部文学著作，改编成戏剧。从而丧失了文学性，这是不是很戏剧的一件事。
Whoa! You are him! 我的老伙计！大场景，小故事，大人物！千万不要剧透也不要看别人介绍，好棒！4.5星！
