      beautiful and ugly

      After watching this comedy, it was really hard. What is good and what is bad, what is beautiful and what is ugly. In fact, the world itself is complex. In the end it all depends on how you see the world, your values. Flo's singing is bad and the opposite of beauty, but her spirit and her optimism are good and beautiful, so let's remember her beauty.

      However, for the vast majority of us ordinary people, such a lifestyle is unrealistic. So, I have to tell the truth here, although it...

      Although it is a sad ending, it is still a heartwarming fairy tale

      Aunt May's acting skills really didn't say much. There are also many touching points. No matter how dissolute the husband is still loyal to his wife, #but in reality I don’t think sex and love can be separated so easily#, and everyone else is also very touched by the respect of this old lady who is desperately singing, # But I still think it has something to do with the old lady's wealth and status#, and the unfortunate old lady who got syphilis just after getting married laughs at life with...

      The plot is boring, the spirit is commendable

      2017.1.15 Take a look. The story is quite boring, but because the popularity is still there, I still insist on fast-forwarding and watching it. Aunt Mei's acting skills are really beyond reproach, and the parts that are out of tune should not be able to act so realistically without practicing. In Aunt May's interpretation, I think she knew about Bayfield's affair. The kindness of the characters, the courage to dare to pursue dreams, and the optimism are quite heart-warming. But I can't say I...

      Secret

      The calmer the story

      more impressive

      like someone who understands you more

      no need to complain

      Just look at each other.

      "Out of tune"

      A lot of people feel bad, and I feel bad too, from a movie perspective.

      But like a lot of "bad" movies, it will bring tears to your eyes.

      Children laugh when they see Chaplin,

      Adults look sad.

      All good tricks and grandstanding are fleeting,

      Laughed but can't remember.

      Like a pianist in a...

      Rich people can be willful

      I watched it while eating melon seeds at home last night. I laughed so hard I couldn't stop laughing.

      Aunt Mei's performance is really very, very good, very vivid.

      "Howard" in The Big Bang Theory is also very good. At first, I thought he was pretending to look like that. In order to apply for a pianist, I didn't expect that the character himself is actually like that, which is very interesting.

      In the beginning, the part where the pianist and Aunt Mei...

      If you are rich and happy, it is not impossible to weave a dream world. Writing a biography from a very clever point of view makes the so-called love of music impossible to sell (it is not the music but the money that makes Florence successful). The relationship between St Clair and Florence is interesting. Aunt May's acting is easy, Hugh Grant is acting like a true character, and Simon Helberg's brilliance has not been...

      The story is absurd, but it really happened. The filming can still make people a little moved. The key is to rely on acting...

      The choice of the ambient art style and music is a surprise. Hugh Grant is really old and can control a reliable warm uncle so perfectly. The chicken essence is a bit too much, so it's not very touching, but it's not annoying. So harsh and unbearable singing, I was completely amused by the...

    Movie plot

    Florence Foster Jankins ( Meryl Streep ) was an American soprano singer in the early twentieth century. With poor singing skills, but excellent entertainment talents, Jenkins was very confident and compared himself with the famous American soprano at the time. Soprano Frida Hempel and Ruiza Tetrazzini are comparable, and they don't mind the ridicule from the audience during the performance.
    She has a strict choice of her performance...

    The film is a clever and in-depth film that wants to convey far more than the absurd musical dreams of rich women. There is a kind of uplifting respect in the work, respect for people who can maintain their confidence in the face of great adversity. (Comment by "Chicago Sun")
    "Florence Foster Jenkins" belongs to Aunt May. The Florence she created is such a sweet and gentle dream maker, singing like an angel in a way that only she can...

    Movie quotes

    • St Clair Bayfield: In the hall, Madam Florence keeps a collection of chairs in which people of note have expired. They're not for practical use.

    • St Clair Bayfield: Are you fond of sandwiches?

      Cosmé McMoon: Yes.

      St Clair Bayfield: Good, good. Madam Florence is inordinately fond of sandwiches. And potato salad as well. When we throw parties we make mountains of the stuff. It would serve you well to consume both with enthusiasm.

      Cosmé McMoon: I shall.

    • St Clair Bayfield: If you can forgive Madam Florence her little eccentricities, you'll find her to be a most generous and delightful person. Ours is a very happy world.
