Actresses with acting skills, the previous generation was like Dench, this generation is like Blanchett

The movie itself has four stars, and one more star is given to Dench. The Duchess's acting skills are superb: the cold and calculating eyes are like a poisonous snake sticking out its tongue after seeing its prey, and the satisfied expression on her face when she carefully touches the art teacher's arm It makes people feel both psychological and physical discomfort

Is the Duchess a Duchess?

Blanchett is also very good, with the fragile and decadent feeling of an artist who is consumed by the boring ordinary life without passion, coupled with the gentle facial contour of his youth, he is very temperamental

Hey, now the glamorous and vicious stepmothers/queens in Hollywood popcorn blockbusters were all pretty and (at least they looked) gentle wives.

    Capitalism is too hot, we are going to rescue them!

    The character in the film may be exaggerated, but you can always read yourself. There is something in both individuals, and we also communicate with each other. A kind of depressing oneself, but extremely eager. I maliciously vilify those who haven't gotten it yet or maybe never get it again, because it attracts me too much all the time, I know it's beautiful. Live boldly and freely, do not want to be able to bear it. Shouldn't be smart. Lonely people use misunderstandings to keep warm in any place.

Notes on a Scandal quotes

  • [Barbara is upstairs, watching Sheba and Richard having a blazing row about her affair with Steven Connolly]

    Barbara Covett: [voiceover] By the time I took my seat in the Gods, the opera was well into its final act.

    Richard Hart: You're his teacher!

    Sheba Hart: And you were mine! I'm not justifying. I'm not trying to justify it...

    Richard Hart: You are so full of shit! It's totally different. You were twenty!

    Sheba Hart: He's sixteen in May. He's not some innocent...

    Richard Hart: Of course he's innocent! He's fucking fifteen! Are you insane? If you meant to destroy us, why not do it with an adult? That's the convention, it's worked for centuries!

  • [after her affair has become public knowledge, Sheba has moved out of her home and is staying with Barbara]

    Barbara Covett: [voiceover] This last month has been the most delicious time of my life. Of course we have had our ups and downs. The pressure is intense when two women share their lives. But, oh, but what marvellous intensity it is! Circumstances are not always ideal. The swinish press, the stringent bail terms, meetings with lawyers and so on. But all things considered, we're coping admirably. In fact, gold stars abundant. The cuckold permits her to see their children once a week. Thee are usually tears and fits of teenage tantrums, too. In time she'll recognise she's just not the mothering kind, and then Barbara will be there to comfort her. Nurse, beloved friend and wise counsel.
