Although I knew at a glance that the boss was watching "Mona Lisa's Smile", I haven't actually seen this movie, so I simply bought a disc and took it home to watch it.
American women in the 1950s were still conservative, even among the brightest women in the country, like the girls at Wesleyan Women's University. Speaking of this women's university, if I remember correctly, the three Song sisters graduated there. Roberts' Watson teacher, who has just entered this conservative university to teach, is a new woman with progressive ideas. When she finds that the ultimate purpose of studying in this university is to marry a good family, she begins to put her. Her own progressive thoughts affect her students...
After "Never Compromise", Roberts, who has already been a winner of a golden man, basically stopped acting in romantic light comedies, and married and had children during the period. There are many beautiful things. In five or six years, Roberts also starred in the heroine of two films, "Mona Lisa's Smile" and "Stealing Heart". The latter was not really my aesthetic, so I didn't watch it at all. After watching the former, I have already begun to feel sorry for Roberts, who has just become pregnant again-her pregnancy, we don't know when we will be able to see such a straightforward and beautiful interpretation again.
We often talk about why Hollywood movie stars have such high remuneration. In fact, it is very simple to think, because they can bring higher box office. Just imagine why this plot, which is not very attractive at the box office, has a global box office of 200 million US dollars? And not because of the "Julia Roberts" name on the poster. I haven't found any Chinese-speaking actors who have such appeal, and it's no wonder that Chinese-language movies these days are simply "stars shine". If there are not three or five "superstars" in a movie, it's embarrassing to call it a blockbuster. Therefore, it is difficult to discover the charm of a single movie star.
The charm of Roberts is really a bit unbelievable. She is not as sweet as Meg Ryan, nor as sexy as Angelina Jolie, nor has the superb acting skills of Streep, but if you say who is the late 20th century to 21st century The best American actress of the early 2000s, I think I would say Julia Roberts, because of her candor, because of her intelligence, because of her sincerity, even in the show. Oh of course, and her mouth. Two days ago, I saw an Internet expert compare the photos of Hollywood actresses with makeup without makeup and makeup. Some of them are really unbelievable, but the comparison photos of Roberts feel that the difference is not very big. , or her undressed photos are still in my imagination, so I believe that most of her charms come from her temperament.
"Mona Lisa's Smile" also has several popular actresses, such as "Spider-Man's girlfriend" Kirsten Dunst. She has fully robbed Roberts of many scenes in the few performance opportunities, which is enough to explain her acting skills. I believe that once she gets rid of "Spider-Man" in the future, she will definitely become a new idol in the acting school.
But in any case, this is Roberts' movie, when we miss the big mouth in the 1990s, when we want to see that wild smile again, when we are a little tired of Julie's sexy, Nicole's While arrogant and Swank's indifference, the film can more or less satisfy our nostalgia.
