Yes, she does extreme things, like burning his papers and wrecking his office, but he does extreme things, too. Adultery is an extreme thing. In this consider the scene where Hughes meets Mrs. Plath for the first time. Played by Blythe Danner Paltrow's mother , Aurelia tells her daughter's lover that Sylvia had tried to kill herself and was a person who was capable of getting it right one of these times. It is difficult to portray a writer's life. It also captures the time of their lives; they were young in the s, and that was another world.
England gloomed through postwar poverty, there were shortages of everything, red wine and candles made you a bohemian, poets were still considered extremely important, and Freud was being ported wholesale into literature; poets took their neuroses as their subjects. Literary criticism was taken seriously, because it was written in English that could be understood and had not yet imploded into academic puzzle-making.
To be good in that time was to be very good, and Plath and Hughes both were first-rate. There are two questions the movie dodges. We don't know the precise nature of Hughes' cheating, and we don't understand how Plath felt about the children she was leaving behind -- why she thought it was acceptable to leave them. The second question has no answer. The answer to the first is supplied by Hughes' critics, who accuse him of womanizing, but the film dilutes that with the suggestion that he simply could not stay in the same house any longer with Sylvia.
Imagine a hypothetical moviegoer who has not heard of Plath or Hughes or read any of their poetry. That would include almost everyone at the multiplex. Is there anything in "Sylvia" for them? Yes, in a way: A glimpse of literary lives at a time when they were more central than they are now, a touching performance by Paltrow, and a portrait of a depressive. Before the conclusion of the act, Ross issues a stern warning: either Martin tells Stevie the truth about his affair or he will. Stevie reads aloud from the letter out of disbelief as much as a need to absorb the facts of the situation in which she now finds herself.
Reluctantly, Martin describes how he met and fell in love with Sylvia and, later, joined a help group for others suffering from addiction s to bestiality. Martin resumes his story with Stevie punctuating each detail with the smashing of various items adorning their home.
The third and final act begins with Martin and Billy standing amongst the ruins of what was once their home. Neither Martin nor Billy know where Stevie has gone, but they use their alone time to try and repair their damaged relationship. Martin pushes Billy away just as Ross enters to witness the scene. So fucking what?! As much as I do. I want them to just think freshly and newly about it. So when Stevie starts breaking these things, we know she is willing to destroy some precious things.
Following, she tries to regain some happiness in her life with Ted, but has an alternate plan if that does not work out as she wants.
Talented, but plagued by her owns demons, Sylvia Plath's Gwyneth Paltrow's early relationship with husband and fellow poet, Edward James "Ted" Hughes Daniel Craig , is dominated by Ted's ambition and success. In the early years of their marriage, Sylvia lacks inspiration and increasingly senses Ted's infidelity. The unspoken question is whether Ted's extra-marital affairs are the result of Sylvia's own insecurities or whether Sylvia's deepening depression is exacerbated by her husbands philandering.
It is only towards the end, when they are separated, that Sylvia is able to truly explore the dark depths of her soul and write the searingly brilliant poetry that earned her fame. It looks like we don't have a Synopsis for this title yet. Be the first to contribute! Martin replies that the only the thing he knows for sure is that she has vowed to destroy him. Martin moves to embrace Billy in a show of paternal affection and protection, but the gesture rapidly takes on a completely different tone when father and son soon find themselves in the midst of a passion kiss which is only broken by the arrival of Ross.
Ross immediately sets upon Martin with an almost Biblical intensity of charges of perversion against nature and all things normal in the world. Stevie then finally returns. She is not alone, however.
She has brought with her Sylvia. Or, to be precise, the lifeless corpse of what was once a thriving member of the animal kingdom. Sylvia is now nothing more than a bloody carcass.
Martin is, of course, absolutely shattered and ravaged by this turn of events, but rather than setting upon the women he loves who murdered the goat he loves, he instead breaks down in a painful plea for forgiveness from his family.
