Everything happened as expected. A marriage without an emotional foundation, a tedious husband like Mr. Bovary and an impractical wife like Mrs. Bovary, a logical seduction and cheating, a restrained but vicious revenge, an embarrassing stalemate, a husband who can't be saved with a helpless wife. Then when the movie came to a turning point, the unwilling wife tried to break the ice, the monolithic husband began to soften, a crisis on the verge of life and death catalyzed the death of the two, and just when the two rekindled the fire of love, the melody stopped abruptly , the husband died, the wife organized her life with unfinished love and sadness, and stayed away from scandals and depravity...
Now looking at this kind of too logical plot, it is inevitable to use "conventional" or "not surprising" to describe, our appetite needs Live seafood to stimulate the mind can be refreshed. I remember a senior senior working in a well-known media told me that the living space of literature, art and culture was gradually squeezed and deformed by the roaring commercial civilization, and became more and more small. Hearing the authoritative and fair say this, my heart is sad, but since then I have accepted my fate and no longer shouted and injustice for "the so-called noble". The word-of-mouth of "The Veil" has been flat, and the box office is even more bleak - "The world is too big to hold a quiet desk." How many people will sink to experience a man's anger and a woman's loneliness?
The person in charge of the camera quietly spreads out the peaceful Li River and the vast forests in southern China. The director may have exiled himself from a certain circle from the beginning. Edward Norton and Naomi Watts, who landed in Hollywood with Mulholland Drive, a somewhat illustrative cast, and the production company Warner Indepent Pictures, both convey the theme - exile.
Kitty's marriage to Walter was her exile of herself, and if anything she expected, she was away from her parents who saw her as a burden. Then the extramarital affair, but the meaning of exile is more obvious. Women of that class are unfortunately poisoned by the influence of literature and art. A marriage can bring you worry about food and clothing, but it can't bring you the overflowing cup of soul. Is Kitty a stupid woman? I never thought so. She was not flustered by Walter's anger and fear, indicating that everything was expected. This relationship was just drinking poison to quench her thirst, and she calmly exiled herself out of the plain but stable life-adventure, destined to bear the turbulent consequences.
Science Illustrated published an authoritative test paper, the "Marriage Satisfaction" test, which is said to be produced by a psychological laboratory in a well-known American university. , will I be better off than I am now?" - I laughed dumbly after reading the question, does the laboratory know that 80% of the people who are interested in pondering this kind of question are women? Perhaps only women can comfort themselves after being powerless to change the situation. It is difficult to conclude that Kitty's attempts are unwise. The times do not allow her to make multiple attempts within the scope of moral permission, and she cannot find "one key and one lock". She still hopes to create opportunities for choice, which is originally a little girl's. tragedy.
If it wasn't for Edward Norton to play Walter, I might have to be entangled in his dark and petty way of revenge, why not just have a good relationship with a gentleman, and why someone can treat his wife without beating a third party. This is very much like a well-informed woman dealing with her husband's extramarital affairs (why women make trouble for women), but it's not like what a bloody man does. However, Norton is ruthless, restrained, focused and wounded. It is true that he is not an internationalist warrior, and he also understands that "everyone comes here with a purpose", but no one will exile himself in the impulsive "death with the king". Cholera is rampant in foreign countries, and I can see some brilliance of human nature.
They fell in love again easily, but life and death turned it into a tragedy for two people. It's hard to make a change, and God is often stingy with giving people time to correct their mistakes. In fact, Walter did nothing wrong. It is easy for people in desperate situations to be detached - it is easier for him to forgive his wife's infidelity, and Kitty no longer tries to "find the qualities that each other lacks in each other". How can we not love each other?
It is also love in the time of cholera. Compared with the fear and madness created by Marquez, the death here is handled in a low-key manner, especially the death of Walter, the sadness is too reserved. Is this nationality? The real and violent emotions in human nature are suppressed into Kitty's deviance and Walter's surprise in the crisis, and when they need to express their opinions, they immediately recover. But because of these repressed pains, even though the plot is familiar, I have unprecedented regrets, as if I have to be a generation to move the stone from my chest...
It seems that no one is better suited to play old women than Naomi Watts. , those expressions of hers--slightly parted lips, with innocent but sharp eyes, asymmetrical hair style and fluffy, like the British mainland that has not been destroyed by war for hundreds of years, there is a kind of quiet elegance and stubbornness And Chengzhu in the chest.
By the way, the episodes and scenery are beautiful, but Lu Yan is really not good-looking. That Wittington played Cecil's son Robert in "Elizabeth I".
