I saw Sylvia on youtube yesterday night, because too much tea made me awake. The movie is beautifully made, but as described by Assia Wevill in the moive, "a hunted" experience. In the begining of the film, the director used light colors to describe the youth innocence of Sylvia and Ted. As the film went on, the color became very dark and depressing, indicating a declining stability of their marriage and mental state of sylvia. It makes people doubt about the fate of soulmates. They are experience the summit experience others can only dream about, but when they suffer, they go to the hell others can only dream about.
Sylvia Plath had a troubled mind and life. She turned it into great work of art. As a symble of confessional poet, she went through the troubled relationship with Ted Hughes and managed to write in the struggle of her life. She successfully killed herself with gas oven and in the beginning of the film, her dead body came back to life, and she said to the audience, she was the master of art of death.
Plath was born on the October 27, 1932 in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts.
Plath's gravestone bears the inscription "Even amidst fierce flames the golden lotus can be planted."
In 1982, Plath became the second poet to win a Pulitzer Prize posthumously (for "The Collected Poems").
Ted hughes was never faithful to any women. His lover, Assia Wevill killed herself and their illegal daughter with gas oven just 7 years after Sylvia's suicide. In August 1970, Hughes married Carol Orchard, a nurse. They remained together (despite his continued affairs over the years), until his death. He received the Order of Merit from Queen Elizabeth II just before his death.
Assia Wevill (May 15, 1927 – March 23, 1969) was born in Berlin, the daughter of a Russian-Jewish father and a German Lutheran mother. She is best-known for her relationship with English poet (and later Poet Laureate) Ted Hughes, and for killing herself, together with her daughter by Hughes, Shaura, in 1969.
