Luckily like me, during my trip to Singapore, I happened to catch up with the premiere of "Carol", which made me ecstatic, who had been suffering from the film's ban on domestic theaters... Finally, at the SHAW LIDO Cinema on Orchard Road , I got my wish to watch this most beautiful love movie of the year. Thanks to the gods who control everything, and to Singapore, a free, civilized and open country, for giving me the opportunity to offer my sincerity and respect to this classic. There is no grand narrative, no ups and downs, this is a calm film, calmly narrating the most secret thoughts and emotions between two women; the technical level is master-level, with perfect composition, smooth transitions, stunning costumes, The soundtrack is moving; coupled with the tension-filled performances of the two beautiful protagonists who are retro and peerless, people are intoxicated and can't help but feel: all this is like a walking poem. The film is adapted from American writer Highsmith's novel "The Price of Salt" in the 1950s. The whole work is full of the strong ascetic beauty of the McCarthy era. "Love without love is like meat without salt; then for this love, What price are you willing to pay?" The whole novel is written around the mental journey of one of the protagonists, Therese, who is probably the prototype of the original author, Highsmith. This young girl who is not very deep in the world and a little disappointed meets Carol, a mature woman with graceful and graceful appearance. She is overwhelmed by her beauty and elegance, and love begins to germinate. Although I have never experienced such love at first sight, I am sure that this should be what love looks like in the first place. Highsmith described this "love at first sight" in a later self-preface: "I had a strange, dizzy feeling in my head, almost fainting, and at the same time, my spirits were so excited, as if I saw some kind of vision." A person, after a person, infatuated with a person, you will be like Therese, unconditionally say "YES" to all her requests. To thank Therese for returning the gloves, Carol invited her to lunch, "Do you have a lunch break there? Let me invite you to lunch and thank you", "Yes, of course." During lunch. "If you want to visit me someday, I'm very welcome. At least there are some beautiful countryside scenery near my house. Would you like to be a guest this Sunday?" "Okay!" Facing this irreversible new life path, young Therese nervously and joyfully dealt with all kinds of sudden emotions. "You are such a strange girl." "How do you say it?" "As if from a distant horizon." Love is not only romantic and tender, but also pain and sorrow. The turbulent marriage and the failure of her husband to fight for a daughter made Carol upset, so she coldly issued an "expulsion order" to Therese beside her; the beautiful feelings came to an abrupt end, so it was all just a fantasy? ? Therese, who originally felt "small as dust" in front of Carol, despite her maturity and introversion beyond her peers, she couldn't help crying so hard that she was crying on the way home. However, Therese got a call from Carol as soon as she got home. "Will you forgive me?" "Of course." "Would you like me to come see you tomorrow night?" "Okay. Okay." This is the third time Therese has said "YES" to Carol , At this point, the two lonely hearts began to slowly approach. Carol, who was completely exhausted by her marriage, planned to travel for a while. This is my favorite English dialogue in the whole movie. It is simple and firm, "Would you? (Would you like to go with me?)"" Yes. Yes, I would.” What could be more blissful than traveling with someone you love? Therese expresses her heart to Carol for the fourth time - love makes people brave. Do you have the heart to hurt someone who loves you and says "YES" to all your demands? Carol reciprocated Therese with warm affection, saying to her, "I took what you gave willingly. Rooney Mara is Therese, and Therese is Rooney Mara! In contrast, many big-name directors in our country seem to have no idea how to make a movie gracefully. When will I be able to walk into the theater happily, and do the same as I did with "Carol", at the expense of thousands of miles, even across half the world, to offer my sincerity and respect?
