The Scarlet Letter

Set in 17th-century Puritan Massachusetts, this film adaptation follows the tumultuous life of Hester Prynne, portrayed by Demi Moore, who bears an illegitimate child and faces severe societal condemnation. Gary Oldman stars as the conflicted Reverend Dimmesdale, while Robert Duvall plays the vengeful Roger Chillingworth. Directed by Roland Joffé, the movie delves into themes of sin, guilt, and redemption. Although it did not receive any major awards, it remains a notable interpretation of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s classic novel. For those interested, the movie can be viewed for free on Soap2day.
