It's not so much a movie review as it's a diary

When I watched this film, I always had a feeling of deja vu, but I didn't have any memory points, and I still felt this way until I watched it. Later, I ran through my previous film reviews on Time.com and found out that I really watched it three years and two months ago.

But I never imagined that I would actually write such a message at that time. It seems that at that time, my situation was still blank for the marriage relationship. Really silly and sweet.

It now appears that those "snake bite" days before the end of 2019 were not in vain. Now I have really grown up a lot. Looking at this film now, I can actually see the emotion of "playing fifty big boards each".

Regarding this film, let's talk about acting first. I don't think Vicky has the kind of strong love and possessiveness that comes from love. There is no drama in her eyes, which makes me feel that the heroine doesn't love the hero, she doesn't love money, she doesn't love the tailoring career, and she doesn't covet that kind of life. I feel like she's not in the plot.

Next, let's talk about roles. The first one, old sister Cyril. In fact, C didn't answer that sentence - "Unmarried women who touch the wedding dress can't get married". She should be a helper demon, but she maintains an independent mind. The film lacks the portrayal of her characters, and more scenes of "agents", which seem to put the cart before the horse and not full enough. C is not tough enough, not withdrawn enough, not workaholic enough, but there is no love line, nor the warmth line with his brother. Isn't it weird?

Second, the heroine, I thought she was a woman who planned her life like Wendi Deng or "International Chapter", but she turned out to be loyal and unambitious, and her acting skills were not in place, I really don't understand what she planned .

Finally, let's talk about the hero. I have really met such a man - he hardly loses his temper, he feels polite and respectful, he is said to be gentle, but in fact he has his own set of principles. Love PUA you, cold violence to you. Coupled with the connivance of family members, it is even more so. Such a man let me meet, I can only resign. But the heroine's personality just happens to deal with this kind of person softly, so no matter how abused they are, they are all rivals, and it is not enough to live without anyone.

In my dynasty, there are many such marriages that do not divorce (regardless of such serious circumstances as poisoning), but almost all of them are bound by relationships such as children, property, and family. I didn't understand before, I thought divorce was a breakup and a relief, but now I finally see it through. The combination of the two of them didn't make each other better, but they both helped each other find a way to get along with something to do.

7 points for this film. This is a diary, you are right.

    The retro + eerie atmosphere is somewhat "Jane Eyre". Every shot is engraved with the words "elegance", and the dance segment is stunned. The soundtrack hardly ever stops, but is sewn into the film like a thread that makes it imperceptible. One is extremely strong but desires to be controlled and becomes weak due to lack of maternal love, and one seems to be weak and submissive but will do whatever it takes for possession. I want to give them a nod to conquer, and perfectly interpret "drinking the poison you have hidden" and "cutting off all escape routes"...

    I finally know which team the 90th Oscars should stand on. Best Picture, Director, Actor, Soundtrack, thank you. It's a crime for the heroine and art director not to be nominated

Phantom Thread quotes

  • Alma: It's no business of ours what Mrs. Rose decides to do with her life but she can no longer behave like this and be dressed by the House of Woodcock.

  • Reynolds Woodcock: [to the vision of his mother] Are you here? Are you always here? I miss you. I think about you all the time. I hear your voice say my name when I dream and when I wake up, there are tears streaming down my face. I just miss you, it's as simple as that. I want to tell you everything. I don't understand what you're saying. I can't hear your voice.
