On the contrary, I look forward to an exploration of gender emotions under Chinese aesthetics

For Valentine's Day, you might as well watch this film "Malcolm and Mary" - not the chocolate of midnight, nor the beautiful and fresh confession... It's the next dialogue in black and white about the emotions between the sexes Complaining and exploring white shirts and clean cotton white vests/underpants outline the different physical characteristics of men and women Sexy jazz background music ~ and midnight carbs full of mac and cheese and endless cigarettes and alcohol ......

'Malcolm and Mary': Showcasing how quarrelsome relationships can be

#Malcolm & Marie# (Malcolm & Marie) (B+) Watching two people quarrel for two hours is really heart-wrenching. So sexy! But this film just proves this truth: even if two people call again, they will be disinterested by mutual complaints and accusations.
When you know that this movie has only one couple and the story only takes place in one house, you might think it's going to go in either direction: either they'll have a passion scene, or they'll have...

Marriage is why your mother is tall

Oh! I remembered because the two people in the marriage story are also artists who do art. Not without reason. When I see quarrels about art, I think it's the same thing. The quarrel in the marriage story is that the conflict between husband and wife has nothing to do with their identity in literature and art. The only thing that matters is being overly hypocritical. The film focuses on marriage, and the two of them end up in a separate but fused relationship. This one is...

I love you is not enough

A very interesting film with a huge amount of information to discuss the art of gender film / quarrel documentaries, men's logic online strongholds counterattack women, and want to be understood / the director's values of the film are exported through large dialogues / the first part of the film is Mary's expression of Marco Mu didn't thank her for her grievances We thought Malcolm didn't care for Mary Part 2 Mary accuses Malcolm of using her to see Malcolm's undying...

Netflix Malcolm and Mary 2021

2021 Movie Viewing No.49
"Malcolm and Mary" directed by Sam Levinson
(4/5)
What makes cinema an unusual and rare art form is the collision of its own identities in the search for universality.
The film tells the story of Malcolm (a filmmaker), a writer-director with a burgeoning career, and his new film, about a young drug addict, is based on him. The life of his...

Help, still talking about taking over the marriage story? Not a star and a half. This work is not grounded at all. The whole story is narcissistic, floating in the air, like a script written by an arrogant Hollywood oily who is black and white and feels complacent. The female protagonist is self-pity and contorted with a stern face, chatting endlessly over there, man, it will not be satisfied for a woman like you, just want to rush in and cover her mouth with smelly...

It's really not good-looking, don't make a stage play under the guise of a black movie. Generally speaking, this is something that arrogant filmmakers criticize literary...

68/100 The lack of time for acceptance speeches at major awards ceremonies created a midnight tragedy. Always vent their dissatisfaction like a hoarse voice. Through the elongated front line like a bull's horn, it reflects the anger and defeat that has gradually accumulated. The continuous flow of continuous artillery hits each other's vulnerable points directly, causing each other to fall into contemplation and prepare for the next battle, and occasionally ease. The music and the stagnant...

A bit better than expected, at least the mood and logic of the whole dialogue brawl is fluid, the director's musical tastes are always on the line, and the Zentra Asia-Pacific...

Movie quotes

Malcolm: Not everything I do is political because I'm black.

Marie: Yes, I think Angela Davis would disagree with you.
Marie: You know what, Malcolm, if you're gonna treat me like an insane person and call me fucking crazy, the least you could do is do it without casually eating macaroni and cheese. How does that work for you? What does that sound like in your fucking brain? "What a cunt. Mmm. This macaroni and cheese is delicious. What a cunt. I wonder if there's more mac and cheese. What a cunt. If I could direct commercials for Kraft Mac and Cheese, I would."
[on an angry rant after reading a review for his film]

Malcolm: You can't hang everything on identity. You can't say that I brilliantly subverted this trope 'cause I'm black, but I fell into this one because I'm a fucking man! Identities are constantly shifting. Does the male gaze exist if the filmmaker's gay and not straight? And to what degree? What if they're asexual? What if they're transitioning and you don't even know it? You can only look back at things and wonder what the fuck it all means! I mean, why did Ben Hecht and Selznick, two fucking Jewish men, spend so much time on "Gone with the Wind"? To this day, no one can explain to me why the fuck Billy Wilder made "Spirit of St. Louis" and lionized that Nazi bastard Lindbergh, huh? Or why Ida Lupino loved film noir and fucking violent men! Why Ed Wood wore fucking panties? He wore panties and made B films about fucking space aliens! Or Elaine May was fascinated with emotionally stunted men. I mean, did she see herself in them? Did she hate them in real life, but wanted to get to know them through the work? I mean, the fact that Barry Jenkins isn't gay, is that what made "Moonlight" so fucking universal? Or was being gay the reason Cukor empathized with women more than men? It's all a fucking mystery's the point! What drives a filmmaker? What drives an artist? I mean, why did Pontecorvo, a fucking rich Italian Jewish man, why did he... why did he feel such a kinship to Algerian Muslim guerrilla fighters that he fucking made "Battle of Algiers"? A fucking classic! Tell me that! Can you tell me that? Fucking Karen! Can you tell me that? No, you can't, can you? Because why? 'Cause nobody knows! Who the fuck knows? Who the fuck knows? I mean, why did I shoot the scene the way I did? Is it because I'm a man, is it because I'm straight? Is it because I'm desensitized to violence or is it because I believe that if you witness trauma onscreen, the audience should also feel that fucking trauma? That is the mystery of art, of film, what drives someone to make something and fucking say something. Now, you can criticize this system, which, like every fucking system, is white as fuck and, in our business, fucking male and white as fuck! I mean, goddamn! Shit, I've been waiting my whole life, I've been asking, "Where the fuck are all the black filmmakers 'cause I'm getting sick and tired of these little British boys running around here all in their feelings trying to overcome a fucking birth defect to save the fucking Queen from Hitler!" You know, just do me a fucking favor, all right? Ban every fucking film with a postscript and we'll be good. We'll be fucking great! But to write shit like this? To write this bullshit? To box people in because you don't have the love of film, because you don't have the mind to critique the form, the medium, the technique, you don't have the words to describe the fucking emotions or too much fear that you're not gonna get clicks or too much fucking fear that you afraid the mob's gonna turn on you! Well, then, fuck you! Fuck you for inhibiting the ability for artists to dream about what life may be like for other fucking people. Fuck you, twice! With a sick cactus dick! And even if you come up short, even if you could do better, fuck you! You're the reason they make this fucking stale, safe, stagnant turgid fucking shit in the first place! You're the reason, not me! You're the reason! I mean, you should be fucking bold! You should be fucking reckless! People should be fucking reckless! They should be yelling at the top of their lungs: "Hey Karen! Hey Al! I hear you and I don't give a fuck!" Because they're not gonna get any better until they start rebelling against this fucking purist, moralistic, academic nonsense in the same way that Spike Lee rebelled against the white system when he made "Do the Right Thing". You know, normally, I'd fucking wish death upon someone like this, someone who lacks the fucking imagination like this, but instead, I'm gonna pray fucking hard, the way my mama taught me, that she gets fucking carpel tunnel until her hands atrophy and cramp and she can no longer write nonsensical fucking garbage like this anymore!
