I forgot where I saw it. Karl Lafayette pointed out that it was a fake when he saw the blood-stained pink Chanel suit that Jacqueline wore in the museum on the day of Kennedy's assassination. A lady even wears fakes. (Of course it is not known whether it is true or not.)

Recently, I really wanted to watch a movie. I thought that the first lady should be a thrilling political struggle drama with the same style as House of Cards. expectations. There's a black screen for over ten seconds at the beginning with only solemn background music, and then Jackie walking in the light, and I thought, oh so it's a flashback, so that's the tone. After another shot, it was the quiet house, and the reporter began to interview.

At this time, Jackie is calm and even lazy, with red lips and golden brown semi-short curly hair, which is elegant and noble. She is direct and she wants to tell the truth.

Another thread begins to appear in the film - black and white images and memories: it's a record of Jackie leading reporters into the White House after becoming first lady, she said: Let people know that it is really people who have lived here. At that time, she had just adjusted to the role of the first lady. She was the mother of a country, and she would also be nervous and anxious like a child looking at her friend Nancy with a look of help. She tried her best to be decent, confident and happy. She tells people about the changes that each president and wife has made to the White House, and the big concerts she's given. "Reminiscent of the time when Gongjin was married, Xiao Qiao was married, with a majestic appearance, and when he was chatting and laughing, he was wiped out." Not exact, but I don't think it's rough.

Later, the reporter began to cut to the point - the day of the assassination of the president. It was a sunny day. Jackie and his party came to Spain on a special plane. That day, she was wearing a pink Chanel suit.

The only sentence "President" in the whole film appears here, and the footage is given less than ten seconds, but Jackie has a few close-ups, under the sun, just like the beginning, this well-rounded first lady is in the exotic sunlight and cheering crowds Some hesitation and some real, I think it's great, this is Jackie's biopic, a biopic that doesn't deliberately describe power struggles and official matters for the sake of embodying legend.

The recollection that follows is the climax of the whole film, where the president, after the first gunshots, has his brain splattered and falls to the ground in Jackie's pink suit, covered in blood, brains, and a smashed skull from her husband who is also American the president.

Another rough, direct, and fierce close-up. Jackie was crying while looking at himself in the mirror on the special plane. The close-up of the part of the face - the eyes, the kind of reality that can be seen in front of you through the screen, so contagious .

The subsequent films also followed this pattern and went down the track.

The new president took the oath on the plane, and it seemed that everyone had forgotten her husband, and time went too fast, except for her. She sat beside her husband's coffin, her eyes hollow. It's more than "the fun is theirs, and I have nothing."

Then the plot is that Jackie plays her husband's favorite gramophone in the White House at night. She puts on a set of exquisite dresses, drinks and takes medicine, and is fragile and sensitive.

Jackie hesitated for a long time on the scale and method of choosing a cemetery and funeral, and changed the original plan many times. The president's younger brother and Jackie's two children also enriched the content of the film.

Finally, there is an interesting point. During the continuous interlude, Jackie said to the reporter: "I used to be a reporter, and I know what you want. The more detailed the better, such as the sound of the bullet." After she told reporters about the process in great detail, she said, "It is not allowed to be published." Although she later agreed to let the world know the truth, these two sentences still made me find it interesting. A frank and cunning woman is very vivid.

Then there is the exchange between Jackie and the pastor. Just look at the picture.

At the end of the whole film, Jackie seems to have found the meaning of life, playing with children on the beach.

Do not refuse second brush movies. Great, the only shortcoming is the translation of the name, which deviates from the original intention, shooting method, and angle.
