      "Only the stage is your real world"

      / ​​ (2004)

      Julia (Annette Bening)'s acting career is booming

      Her dominance on the London stage is almost unmatched

      But such a brilliant woman

      But bear the emptiness of the mind behind

      She may sometimes lose sight of the boundaries between the stage and real life

      game world me is me

      Looking at the cast list, Jeremy Irons and Sean Evans came, but they both played scumbags, but the son who saw everything and Lan Yan who silently supported the most poignant.

      At first, I didn't expect this to be a retro movie from the 1930s and 1940s, which almost caused discomfort, but I fell in love with the music costume completely. London in 1938, a theatre full of pomp and circumstance, actresses who are tired of the status quo, ambitious young people... Just these elements know...

      Woman, your name is not the weak, the final winner

      Benin's makeup is so delicate!
      A woman's opponent is always another woman. The old woman's opponent is not a profit, but a game with her own heart, a cruel heart in every thought.
      Therefore, no matter how beautiful a little woman is, she can only play her supporting role, because a young and impetuous heart can't clearly understand what calmness and grace are, and what it means to give a woman the power. Therefore, she will be entitled to Men (men) seduce them and voluntarily become...

      Life is like a play

      In Becoming Julia, there are several women who can be Julia.
              No one will like her. From her appearance, exaggerated clothes, exaggerated words and deeds, and exaggerated emotions. People like to watch a play, but they don't necessarily like to face a person who is acting all the time every day. There is drama on and off the stage, joy and sorrow, that is the choice of people entering the theater; once out of the gate, the stage of life, everyone is the protagonist, how can they be...

      queen, your stage

      The feeling of declining eyesight is similar to my mother's hip line for the past two years, otherwise I wouldn't be staring at the heroine in "Becoming Julia" for two hours without thinking that she is "The Children Are All Well" The short-haired old T in ", just thinking about the super familiar three words of Annette, but forgot the famous surname: Benin. It's no surprise why that year's winner was not Julian Moore, the cannabis arm.
         After reading it, I quickly text my two friends,...

      Julia is simply gorgeous! Flawless skin with fiery red lips! Most of them are movies attracted by her beautiful and noble temperament. The story is also awesome. Julia seems to be acting all the time, but in fact she is the most real, living happily, daring to love and hate, and she can afford it. Charles's pure and sincere feelings for her, although not mainstream, are the most memorable. Julia's tireless smile! This is true inspiration! The theme song is...

      I have to say, I have always been brooding about the incident in 2004, which was supposed to belong to Annette Bening's Oscar Jedi Strikes Back but ended in failure. . . to date. . . To this day, when I watch this movie, which is perfect in my heart, I will still be moved by Julia or Annette Bening's perfect eyes at the end of the...

    Movie quotes

    • Jimmie Langton: Your only reality is the theater. Anything else, what civilians call the real world, is nothing but fantasy and I bloody well won't let you forget it.

      Julia Lambert: Rubbish.

    • Michael Gosselyn: [speaking of Tom] He's awfully good-mannered... for an American.

    • Julia Lambert: Michael and I live separate lives. That's why we're so happy... more or less.
