The film tells the story of what happened to "First Lady" Jacqueline Kennedy during the 4 days of the assassination of the 35th President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, to his funeral. On November 22, 1963, President Kennedy, accompanied by his wife Jacqueline and Texas Governor John Connery, was shot and killed as he drove through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas in a convertible . Suddenly encountering great misfortune, Jacqueline has to show her courage and composure to the world, but she can't control the grief of losing a loved one, and she has to deal with intriguing politicians and terrified security officials.
Natalie Portman, who won an Oscar for best actress in "Black Swan," played the role of "First Lady" Jacqueline almost perfectly. Jacqueline's elegance and strength, wisdom and humor, vulnerability and sadness are all performed just right by Natalie. From the characters, the audience strongly felt the fear, sadness and helplessness of a woman under pain, and was amazed by her firm and calm dealing with politicians and the media, and her unfortunate fate (Jacqueline's two children). Died before birth, a child died two days after birth) and sympathy. In terms of acting in the film alone, Natalie Portman is far better than Emma Stone in La La Land. Natalie Portman deserves this Oscar for Best Actress.
The themes of confronting and overcoming pain presented in The First Lady are even more impressive. In this world, in everyone's life, there will inevitably be disasters, and despair and depression will often drown and devour you at this time. Although Jacqueline Kennedy is expensive as the "first lady", what happened to her has meaning for everyone. As the priest in the film said: "Darkness may never disappear, but it will never be so heavy." Going through disasters, overcoming pain, and being a strong person are skills that must be learned in life.
Finally, I dedicate to my friends a line from the priest in the film: "When a person struggles to find the meaning of life, there is always a period when you realize that there is no answer to all this. When you have this terrible and inexorable When an avoidable insight comes, you either accept it, kill yourself, or, more simply, stop looking. I've been happy all my life, but every night when I go to bed and turn off the lights and look out into this endless darkness , I'm very curious, is this all my life? Everyone on this planet is curious, but when we wake up the next morning, make a cup of coffee, that curiosity is gone. This is human It's normal. You're going to be thinking about it this morning, and you're going to be thinking about it tomorrow, but God uses his infinite wisdom to make sure it's all within our reach."
