I haven't read Tricia Highsmith's "The Price of Salt" before, but only after reading the introduction did I know that in the United States in the 1950s, "salt" also contained "calcium". In addition to being a well-known seasoning, There is also the cultural reference of lesbians. At that time, it was not clear and bold to show it, and it could only be used as a metaphor for the symbolic reference. After understanding, the veil of the theme could be lifted. Those who want to put aside prejudice, put aside restrictions, and do whatever they want will be vigorous and vigorous. It is not easy to talk about love that is beyond reproach. In the eyes of others, it is a ridiculous taboo, and it is impossible to give generous understanding and blessings. The vivid expression method allows us who like to see it to witness a sincere love without a trace of impurities. No forcible obstruction from the outside world can hinder the growth and extension of this relationship. When they are lingering, Carroll said that. The words that pierce my heart: "My angel. Flung out of space." I can't help but blush and feel emotional.
This type of theme has been trying to express a similar theme for many years, how a feeling of being unrecognized and discriminated against can effectively multiply in a narrow-minded and prejudiced reality. Looking at the history of film, you can find that there are countless movies that have the same purpose. Recently It's easy to think of "The Life of Adele" by Abu Dai Keshish who stirred up thousands of waves. Although the time and plot are different, the patterns and feelings of the two films are very similar. The audience will naturally feel that they are watching a pair of lovers who are very natural. They are naturally attracted to each other and fall in love without any sense of disobedience. They describe the daily moments of their life experience, but because the jade beads are in front, so "Carol" The flat plot, which is slightly plain and straightforward, obviously lacks surprises. It does not incorporate much into the sensitive atmosphere and conceptual innuendo that permeated the mainstream values of the society. It relies on full-screen close-up details, beautiful and elegant melodies, and retro appealing to cater to. Timely songs, superbly textured photography and the actors' amazing acting skills hold up most of the sky.
The particularly brilliant soundtrack was produced by the old partner of the Coen Brothers, the famous American soundtrack master Carter Burwell. I believe that every audience who has watched this movie will listen to it several times in the dead of night, and the CD rack at home must also be there. The place of "Carol" is indispensable. Whenever the music is played, the ambiguity and affection between them will be vividly staged in the mind. The scenes and costumes are very meticulous and exquisite, with a strong sense of picture, which is highly restored. The retro look of the 1950s will never forget Carol wearing a gorgeous fur coat, a beautiful little red hood, red nail polish, and a noble and elegant manner, as well as a pair of literary young people, fashionable and fresh, small and exquisite. , The lovable Teres, the film has made a lot of close-up on their facial expressions and body movements, especially the small movements of the hands and the gaze of the eyes, which contains no need to describe too much through words. It can make the audience understand the content and reference, revealing a full of infatuation and love that can't help.
In this type of subject matter, the film and the actors often maintain a relationship of mutual achievement. The superb interpretation can make the film stand out quickly and become the focus of attention, and can even make up for the blandness and lack of the plot. Blanchett and Rooney Mara both acted very well. The two who have experienced subversive and wonderful performances have great image shaping space and interpretation ability. Naturally revealed, Kate wants to express her emotions from her bones. The traces of the emotional expression are obviously too heavy, but the tacit understanding and charm between them are still very eye-catching, which has been perfectly confirmed at last year's Cannes. The director also took a little thought about the narrative structure. The beginning and the end echoed each other, leaving an unresolved ambiguous plot at the beginning. After presenting the causes and causes, he went back to explain the consequences, adding a little sense of hierarchy, without imposing any The extra traces, the overall sense of not picking out the thorns, looks stronger, adding the finishing touch to the calm plot.
When you meet someone you like, your eyes will fall on her involuntarily; you will make a small calculation in your heart to get to know her reasonably; have a meal, drink tea, chat, and want to know more; Think for her everywhere, think from her point of view, and feel her displeasure and pain, so you can't help but blame yourself; give gifts that she will like thoughtfully; face your loved ones, in the dictionary of self-awareness. Eliminate the existence of rejection forever, in addition to catering to or catering to; not listening to other people's advice, and falling into it without hesitation; if she hurts her heart, she will call to apologize and comfort; if you want to leave her eternal moment through the camera, no Before I was clear, I couldn't restrain my inner emotional impulse, and I wanted to use various tests to determine whether the other party had that kind of intention, until I readily agreed to travel together to confirm each other's feelings, and crossed the threshold of lust to be together without any scruples.
Because of the entanglement and obsession with her husband, Carol had to leave a letter to Teres, advising not to pursue the results and explanations, for the sake of her precious daughter. Stepping out from the longing and pain to regain life, the love and forbearance that Carol forcibly blocked were ignited in the numb and boring daily triviality. Loyal to himself, Carroll, whose voice was agitated and fought with her whole body, unabashedly revealed her heart in front of her lawyer and her husband, chose to make concessions and paid the price of heartache, and finally cast aside all external obstacles to find Carroll. Teres wanted to restore the old friendship, and thought that it would be difficult to reunite after breaking the mirror, but the power of love still brought together two women who were in true love but could not have too much emotional intersection.
From Carol and Teres, people once again deeply understand what is the so-called true love, which is unrelenting without the limits of identities and gender boundaries, and should enjoy the same fair power and freedom. The obstacles and contempt of wishful thinking will be futile in the end. The expansion of their horizons and the opening of their minds in the changing times will give them inclusive treatment, whether it is their persistence and persistence in love, or their courage to get rid of the boring and rigid life and overcome all externalities. Resistance, the determination to pursue and defend oneself, I believe will arouse the resonance and yearning of many people. Compared with "Adele's Life" which is closer to reality and has a sad aftertaste, "Carol" is more like a movie. The fairy tale of love is supreme, and the satisfying ending will always come as expected. Hines finally fixed the film at the most wonderful moment, applying a sentence written by Carroll in the letter, blindly pursuing the result It is an immature performance, enjoy the moment, feel their unforgettable love with your heart, and I believe it will be lasting in your heart.
