"His brain bursts out, and I hold it down with my hands desperately to prevent his brain from flowing down..." This terrifying and slightly disgusting description is exactly from Jacqueline, the wife of US President Kennedy, who is her husband to her husband. The description of the assassination, one can imagine how eye-catching the scene at that time was.
The foreign name of the film "First Lady" is "Jackie", which is very straightforward and simple, not as artificial as the Chinese translation. Speaking of which, the first lady is not considered to be any position. Such a title is more dependent on the president, although The American people themselves may not be able to remember all the names of the previous presidents, but Jacqueline can make the world admire her.
The rhythm of the film is very slow, a lot of soundtrack rendering, and a lot of facial close-up, which makes it easier for the audience to pour emotion, through Natalie Portman's delicate face, we can see her interpreting Jacqueline's panic and panic. Grieving, "Maybe I shouldn't marry him, I should marry an ugly and mediocre man..." When her husband left, she was full of sensitivity and vulnerability. She knew that she was going to start moving out of the White House and selling furniture to find new ones. 's residence. Sitting in the car with her husband's coffin, she pressed her emotions down, even calmly telling aides that she needed to read all the books and documents about Lincoln's funeral, and that she was going to arrange a funeral service worthwhile, even though most in Congress would have a problem with it. She disagreed, but she knew that it belonged to Kennedy's due dignity, and it also belonged to her own due dignity.
For herself, no matter what she does, it is useless, but for the people, losing the president is like losing a father. No one can comfort Jacqueline's wounded heart, but she used a grand funeral ceremony to comfort her. People, the TV broadcasted the whole process, and people all over the country remembered that time, and also remembered the dignity and majesty of the first lady. "I just want to die, doesn't God want me to be with my husband?" she asked the priest. The darkness may never go away, but it won't always be this heavy.
