It turned out to be better than I expected, I was thinking of a very depressing movie, but I actually found some of the lines very interesting, especially the flashbacks about Jim, put a smile on your face.
In fact, I have been following this film for a long time, so I will not do any spoilers here. First I saw a biopic on TV about the original author Christopher Isherwood and his wife Dan, and then I found this semi-autobiographical novel to read, and then I heard that Tom Ford was going to direct the film, and the film was certain It's on my must-see list.
In fact, this film is very personal to Uncle Ford. First of all, it is similar to his life experience: Ford and his wife are also in love with each other as in the film, and the experience of suicide also appeared in his family. When this novel was only in his twenties, I think this novel had a deep influence on him. Secondly, this can be regarded as a love letter to his wife. Since he left Gucci and launched his own label, he himself said that he does not want people to think of clothes when they think of him, and also wants to make other "contributions" to the world. He really wants a self , but unfortunately his wife just doesn't agree, so there is this movie. This novel is written in a stream of consciousness, it is difficult to make a movie, and the script is very thin, but Uncle Ford is worthy of being a fashion icon. The blend of monochrome and color, those close-ups of the eyes and lips, the lighting, the positioning of the camera, is aesthetically impeccable. Moving, captivating.
Besides, cast, Colin Firth, and Julianne Moore are both kind of actors who are easy-going but have outstanding acting skills. After so many years of acting, they have never had the kind of role that can shine. Colin Firth's performance in this film is exceptional. It can be said that his excellent performance holds the whole film. You can feel George's sadness, unease, and even anger in every scene. Ang Lee gave him the best actor in Venice, but I think it's still very difficult to win the Golden Globes and Oscars. Julianne Moore continues to play the role of fag hag, which she is good at. In fact, I think her role is a real "friendship". She and Ford are very good friends, and it is estimated that it is a personal relationship. The two of them were awarded at glaad. Compliments on each other are still quite nauseous. Matthew Goode is so hot, I've watched all of his films recently. Nicholas Hoult in Skins played Kenny, George's student, and played a little pushy. This role was originally intended for Jamie Bell. Fortunately, he quit, and Nicholas was beautiful. There are also Ginnifer Goodwin in Big Love, Lee Pace in Pushing Daisies also have small roles, and of course Ford's favorite male model Jon Kortajarena, this guy's Tom Ford campaign every season is swept by him and Noah Mills, Hehe, Noah Mills will be in SATC 2 too. There is also female model Aline Weber as Loris.
Note: Isherwood's wife Don Bachardy also appears in the film, as well as his drawings at George's house. The version released in the United States is two minutes shorter than the version at the Venice Film Festival. It is said that the frontal nudity of Nicholas Hoult and the kissing scene of George and Jim will be filled in when the disc is released.
I wrote so long and messed about it all because I was watching the Golden Globe Awards. Who made it take three hours, and Colin didn't get the award. Haha, Glee won Best Comedy on TV, Steve, you owe me five bucks! Who knew it was written, oh no, avatar won best picture, well, Steve, I owe you five bucks, we are even.
