forever elegant

I'm afraid not many women will have such an experience. Husband was shot in front of his eyes; he wiped the blood from his face to take the oath of a new president; moved out of his home within three days.

In such a short time, the world was turned upside down.

A second earlier, she was a high-spirited first lady, saying I love crowd with a confident smile; wearing a tailored suit, she walked down the ramp and waved to everyone. In the crowd, she was confident and graceful, but she was also dazed and dazed for a moment.

Then the gunshots rang out.

Several times I thought she would lose her temper and do collapse behaviors like crying and yelling. But she didn't. This may be the sadness of being a famous woman: every move must be graceful and decent, and she has suffered huge injuries, but she can't even shed tears. She repeatedly emphasized her husband's deeds to the country, she chose the cemetery almost paranoid, and strived to hold the funeral with the highest standard, and she wanted everyone to remember him. She wants the best for him.

Only late at night did she show vulnerability and unease: she roamed the White House, donning those gorgeous gowns, putting on his favorite records, and walking through door after door. They have listened to famous artists and danced to the beautiful music here. Those happy past events are close at hand, but out of reach. This is no longer her home.

This is not anyone's home. Everyone is just passing by. Therefore, the previous efforts to decorate the home seemed futile and ridiculous.

A week after the incident, she was interviewed and was no longer the poor woman who had just lost her husband. The former first lady, compared to women, obviously has a political mission first. She revealed what she wanted to reveal, she reviewed every word of the interview draft, and she only wanted the world to remember how good her husband was and how he made a great contribution to the country. Is the fear and sadness revealed in the description of the events real feelings or acting skills? The next second, she was that strong and controlling woman again. She lit a cigarette and said with a mocking smile that those things just now were not allowed to be published. In her opinion, a grand funeral is still not enough. Is it for the unwillingness of her husband's untimely death or for her own future?

The soundtrack of the film is excellent, and the daze and confusion experienced in extreme grief are vividly expressed. A favorite for grief lovers.

    Large-scale close-up tests of actors also make actors, and the emotional and fragmented narrative further enhances the appeal; but such a method makes the narrative angle too positive and the narrative distance is too close, which is counterproductive and makes people instinctively give in emotionally.

    A very personal movie, it doesn't have too many social hot spots or political appeals like other awards season hits, but everything starts from people and instinctive emotions, which is also the reason why this script is very, very good, because the hot spots Anyone can be caught, everyone has appeals, and not everyone can write about emotions. Hope the above answers your question. It is really difficult for the director to shoot, and there is also a lot of performance space. Everyone is great.

Jackie quotes

  • The Priest: Take comfort in those memories.

    Jackie Kennedy: I can't. They're mixed up with all the others.

  • [first lines]

    The Journalist: Mrs. Kennedy? They told me to come up. And I'm so sorry for your loss.

    Jackie Kennedy: Have you read what they've been writing? Krock and Merriman and all the rest?

    The Journalist: Yes, I have.

    Jackie Kennedy: Merriman's such a bitter man. It's been just one week. Already they're treating him like some dusty old artifact to be shelved away. That's no way to be remembered.

    The Journalist: And how would you like him remembered, Mrs. Kennedy?

    Jackie Kennedy: [stammering] I...

    Jackie Kennedy: You understand that I will be editing this conversation just in case I don't say exactly what I mean?

    The Journalist: With all due respect, that seems very unlikely, Mrs. Kennedy.

    [pause]

    The Journalist: Right. Okay. Uh, so this will be your own version of what happened?

    Jackie Kennedy: Exactly. Come in.
