The new goddess in my heart

I admit that I watched this movie because of Mélanie Laurent, but its beauty is unexpected.

The story is divided into two main lines, telling the theme of how to learn to love. The same theme is also seen in some French refreshments, but this time the actors have been replaced by the old British handsome (but with a standard American accent) Ivan and Hollywood’s new French darling Mélanie.

Let’s talk about romance. Main line of love. I think all Hollywood directors have seen Melanie’s playful, aura, independent, and unique personality. This playfulness is different from Audrey, who is famous for her love of beauty. The blonde Melanie is really beautiful and exquisite. It is a clever beauty. The main line of love in this movie can only be described as romantic. You can still hear her French-sounding English (although she has spoken well) and French dialogue that makes people laugh. The part of the bridge talking to the animals reminds people of Liang Chaowei and Jincheng Wu in the Chongqing Forest. Such a girl who advocates freedom and a big boy who is full of creativity but extremely insecure have walked together. It's just that she has traveled so many places, but never stopped. Speaking of her family, she would not shed tears, the only thing that made her cry was to imprison her in one place, even if there was her love there. "There is an empty house waiting for me, but outside the house is self-owned. "I think I can understand this mentality, but it is a pity that the girl who left home at the age of 16 still does not feel enough self-owned. I am glad to find a real photo of her as a child in the film.

Talking about the role played by Ivan, I think this is really an actor who can play any role. He did. It is difficult for me to associate the small freshness of Big fish and this film with the velvet gold mine that shocked the world. The boy in the film is a bit decadent, a bit withdrawn, but full of creativity (those sympathy is great). It's a pity that because of the family relationship, a family with only kindness and no love between parents makes him confused about feelings, and he is also afraid of truly falling in love with others. When he was willing to accept his lover and become a part of the family, but found that she had never planned to stay here for long, he felt deeply hurt. Beginner, he is learning to love, at the age of 38.

The role of the old man is very heavy. The 78-year-old man who came out of the closet after surviving cancer actually represents an attitude. I think his love with the wife he doesn't love is moving, otherwise he wouldn't have to come out after her death. From the perspective of the wife, it is the same. As for his optimism, his gay pride is only part of his spirit.

Speaking of comrades, I think this is not the subject of this film. What this film wants to convey is still an attitude to life, an attitude of trying to accept and explore. This attitude has nothing to do with age. Some emotions are extremely personal. It is actually very difficult to visualize extremely personal emotions, but emotions are still common, universal.

I really think Melanie is so beautiful. If she is not French, her sweet looks will make her another Meg Ryan, but as a French, she will have a natural or added indifferent and spiritual temperament.

I think this is my favorite girl, a beautiful girl with aura and personality.

  • Oliver: And what about the chair? Is it gay?

    Hal: The chair is not gay, obviously.

  • Oliver: We didn't know how we learned the stories in our heads, but sometimes they stopped running, and I can really see Anna's eyes in 2003. Her ears. Her feet. This is what it looks like when she says, 'I love you,' in 2003. This is what it looks like when she cries. When she tells me there's always a new empty room waiting for her. They used to make her feel free. Now they make her feel the opposite of free.
