Oh, I just remembered that today is Tanabata. On this day, it is a coincidence to comment on a gay film. Moreover, this film made me understand a truth, gay love, and heterosexual love, give people the same feeling.
Another impression is a strong sense of design. The house, the furniture, the clothing and everything, as well as the light, as well as the facial features, hairstyles, and figures of all the actors, all seemed to come from some big-name designer with good taste and cleanliness.
It really is. After reading the information, I know that director Tom Ford is the designer and CEO of Gucci. He had "politely saved Gucci, which was in jeopardy". He does have good taste, and he does have a fetish for cleanliness. This film is his debut.
Tom Ford said the purpose of his design is to create the beauty that women can only dream of. In fact, his menswear design is also extraordinary. I love almost everything in the shot, including George's house, and the sofa in the house. I also like the gun that George used to commit suicide. It can be seen that the craftsmanship is very particular.
I don't usually wear suits and ties, but I like George's suit and his thin tie. There are many kinds of posters for this movie. My favorite is this one, which is turquoise and has a simple pattern. It only has black-rimmed glasses and this thin tie. The poster designer chose this tie among so many symbols, it seems that there are many people who feel the same as me.
The music of the movie is beautiful enough to generate the urge to go to the Internet to find downloads.
All in all, this movie is a delight to watch.
Pleasure is not the point of this film. In addition to the sense of fashion, the film also has a sense of metallic restraint. It is the taste of mature adults, showing a certain calmness.
Tom Ford once caught the eye with his sexy, he was known as the sexiest man among gays, and he was full of hormones. Design styles have also been ostentatious, full of fringes and holes, sequins and lace, gorgeous floral dresses and handbags. In this film, the whole tone is elegant and calm, ready to go, but not moving.
It's just that the calmness is approaching heinous. George said to women that he was a guy who "has the answer to everything". It is true, for example, that before preparing to commit suicide, he arranged everything in an orderly manner.
Go to the bank to take out all the property bills, put them on the desktop at home, and write down your opinion.
Go to the gun store and choose the ammo.
Leave a tip to the old lady who does the cleaning.
Put the bread in the fridge because the old lady said it will keep it fresh. No one ate it even though it was fresh.
The 4 keys were placed in a queue, and the position of 1 of them was corrected.
Fold the suit neatly, wipe the leather shoes clean, and put the tie on the table, ready for his funeral. Also, he left a note telling the tie to be tied in a Windsor knot.
So are expressions. Colin Firth, who plays George, is a talker in reality, but the character he plays doesn't speak much. Even when he speaks, he stutters, such as George VI in "The King's Speech". This secretive person has the ability to turn quiet into shock. In this film, Colin Firth doesn't say much. Although he discharges from time to time, it's all inadvertently and implicitly. It's not the kind of high-voltage electricity that kills people. It's just like a battery, which discharges electricity restrainedly.
Everything was manageable, including suicide, although he finally gave up on suicide.
It's just that he's gone because of a heart attack. This is basically an uncontrollable thing, and it is under the control of God.
The focus of the film is probably loneliness.
The language of the film is calm, delicate, beautiful, gloomy, and fatally lonely. It has the taste of "Brokeback Mountain" and the feeling of "In the Mood for Love", like Ang Lee and Wong Kar Wai. Tom Ford himself said, "The one I admire the most is Wong Kar Wai."
Gay films always end up sad, and this one is even more sad.
The film is dedicated to his lover, Richard Buckley, who is more than 20 years older than him. The film critic of "Sanqi Lotus Flower" said that Tom Ford showed Richard Buckley the novel, and the old man fell asleep. The second time I showed the script to the old man, the old man fell asleep. The third time, I showed the revised script to the old man. After reading it, the old man burst into tears.
George and Jim read together, the lights are gentle, the eyes are swaying, and the dog is lazy. At this time, he should not be alone. Beyond that, George's loneliness is everywhere. Jim's death has left only loneliness in his life. Playing in the sea of night with a beautiful young man, snuggling up and dancing with a woman who knows each other deeply, can't get rid of it. So, he said, "Looking back in the mirror, my face is not so much a face as it is the sadness itself."
Without a lover, life can only be lonely.
What is even more helpless is that even if there is a lover, loneliness will not go far, it hides on the side and looks on coldly.
Vanilla said that my blog text always smells of sadness and loneliness. Some injustice, I rarely say these. Putting these words on your lips is child's play.
But I appreciate some of the lines in the movie. For example, "It's not just now, it's a cold reminder that yesterday is yesterday". "Living in the past is my future". Also, "I never liked waking up very much," because only "a fool would greet the day with a smile."
