      No pain can be hidden

      When I first started this movie, I saw its name is "Cake". I thought it was the kind of healing light-loving love movie that fits the dog with the left hand and digging the cheesecake in the mouth with the right hand in the middle of the night. In addition, it is starring Jennifer. · Aniston, one of the sweet girls I like to watch everything.

          So after get off work, I really bought mango cheese and Kuqiao cake to accompany the slices, hugged the dog, and pressed the remote...

      I have been better

      "Cake" may be a boring work for some people, but not for me. A mother who had lost her son and was seriously injured herself was unlovable, died, and tempted her to live, without any interest in her. She didn't care to break all the established systems and standards before the accident, drove away the husband who loved her deeply, was impatient with the maid who took care of her, was mean to the leader of the mutual aid group, and had a bad attitude towards the coach who helped her do...

      Trying to understand why the film is named "CAKE"

      Just like doing research, I plan to start with keywords (or clues) and analyze the movie.

      There are three clues to this film: "mouse", "nina" and "cake". Using these three clues as the axis, claire completed the transformation from self-defeating and rejecting others to self-esteem, self-love and understanding.

      First of all, the clue about "rats": in the movie, after seeing a mouse by the pool for the first time, Claire nearly drowned in the pool. Since the appearance of the...

      The daily life of a lost lawyer

      In order to see Aniston, I deliberately chose the time during the Shanghai Film Festival. Her past role, Sweet Sister, Sweetheart, entered the movie theater with expectations in order to support her transformation. First of all, she finally has a role breakthrough, applaud. Secondly, the ending of positive energy, the audience is not happy after watching it. Then, the role of the nanny impressed me the most. Finally, Aniston’s small humorous performance method has been added to this heavy theme...

      Signifier of endless emptiness

      The last time I was shocked by Jennifer Aniston was her 2013 "Fake Families", when the almost pearly strip girl suddenly danced pole-dancing, this sex-loving half-meat comedy is only full of fragrance. , Aniston’s hard performance has saved the stereotypical fate of American embarrassing films. In "Cake", the deeply ill Claire she played was always mentally and physically anxious, and basically subverted her past image of beauty/silly woman. She failed to point at the Oscars and attracted fans....

      It's very real, it hurts too much, everything is just supplementing, when the pain that can't be faced is full of blood, life only seeks relief. From giving up on oneself to facing up to loss, everyone needs a process to put together and take your...

      The rhythm of watching the movie, like the plot, dragged on and off for a week. It was only after reading the film review that I fully understood the relationship between the characters. Jennifer Aniston really has no sign of Rachel at all. The ending is quite crisp. In other words, is this kind of supporting club really effective for people who have suffered huge psychological...

      2.5 Mental and physical tormented mother from A lying down to A standing up at last. The story only revolves around the character Claire, but the characters are single, family, son and mother, many important details are almost given up, and more focus is on the inner part, but Aniston does not control it very well, and the pain is not a...

      The front was relatively procrastinated, and the appearance of the little boy in the back started to look good. It seems that it is the mere child who inspires the adult who indulges in self-inflicted...

    This film can be said to be the transformation of the comedy sweetheart Aniston who began to interpret the tragic woman. (Mtime.com ) 
    Jennifer Aniston was eye-opening in the film with her undetected talents. She allowed herself to be overwhelmed and surpassed by all the things that tortured Carlisle’s life, and at the same time effortlessly completed a time that neither faded nor never faded due to distance. Under the shadow of the...
