      You might never get the love again

      I watched this movie because Amway bought TF's lipstick before. Seeing a TF fan recommending this movie in an article, I found it on Tencent. I thought that TF is fashion-forward, sexy and mature, but I didn't expect that "When you love someone, you have to be careful with it. You might never get it again." in TF's movies .

      The female protagonist left the male protagonist, and the male protagonist took revenge on the female protagonist 19 years later. In the end, the heroine waited for...

      A temperamental movie

      Strangely good-looking, it fully shows how important a director's good taste in many artistic fields is to create the overall temperament of the film.

      Although the movie adopts the form of a play within a play, the story is not complicated, and the male protagonist is weak from beginning to end: since the female protagonist resolutely left back then, why bother begging for love or not? Nineteen years later, it is necessary to use a novel to express many ambiguous purposes, such as...

      Thoughtful revenge

      It's a self-inflicted story, and the contemporary art exhibition that begins is refreshing. Very amazing. The two storylines of reality and fiction are closely connected by Jake Gyllenhaal playing two roles, making the narrative seem real and fantasy without any sense of disobedience. The heroine often wakes up from the story and adjusts the rhythm. But the audience hasn't shaken off the panic. leading to a more urgent look down. In the story line of the novel, in addition to hiding the...

      Love only comes once, if you miss it, it will never come back

      Susan is a strong woman, and the fat woman at the beginning expresses her style in an exaggerated way - extremely subjective. The working environment is also minimalist and impactful. Her marriage to her husband was also fractured. At this time, she received the first draft of the novel "Nocturnal Animals" by her ex-husband Edward, whom she had not contacted for nearly two decades.

      When Susan unpacked, her hand was scratched, suggesting that the manuscript was like a sharp...

      Weakness dies, sensibility ceases to exist

      When you love someone, you have to be careful with it. You might never get it again.

      —Edward to Susan

      When you love someone, you have to work hard, you can't just throw it away, you have to be careful, or you won't get it again. So in the end, Susan went from being full to the guests, without waiting for her Edward, who had been separated for 19 years.

      In this movie, I was impressed by three points.

      The first point...

      The switch between the play and the reality is easy, but the text and characters are still a bit far-fetched, and the picture and music are still exquisite. Whether it's revenge or relief, we always think about planning our lives, but life always unfolds in a completely different...

      In reality, in revenge novels, I only see self-blame. In the end, it's better not to see this drama. It's not like what white people do. Objectively speaking, single men are better, but I was moved by this...

      Personally, I prefer single men. It's really my white moonlight. This time, TF made a red rose and couldn't replace it as a cinnabar mole. The aesthetics of the shots are impeccably refined, the actors' performances are full of tension, and the narrative structure of the play within the play is also rigorous and delicate. However, there are some clichés about the relationship between the sexes that make people uncomfortable. The core point of the whole shell story is abortion, which is also a...

      Just "flat"...

    • By Rhett 2023-07-17 08:29:03

      7 points. This film, all kinds of communication, all kinds of design are very good, but the story is a bit simple. The three stories are intertwined, although it does not feel abrupt to say, but each story is not explained thoroughly, and the entire viewing process always feels as if the emotions have not yet been fully accumulated and ended suddenly, which is a pity. What does the director want to say at the end? I didn't understand it anyway, and I'm not interested in trying to figure it...

    Evaluation action

    The film presents the narrative in a play-in-play. The first part of the play-in-play is better than the beginning of the actual part. It surpasses many thriller and suspense films. The atmosphere is very good. And not just these. In terms of the language of the film, all the realistic parts are processed beautifully and coldly, the manuscript part is fresh and rough, and the memories are full of nostalgia. The director perfectly...
