(Originally reported by Tencent Entertainment during the Venice Film Festival)
On November 22, 1963, Abraham Zeprud accidentally captured an 8mm home video camera. It was one of the most played videos in the history of news in the 20th century.

At 12:30'30", just as President Kennedy waved and smiled at the crowd, the dull first shot was heard in the square. President Kennedy covered his throat with his hand-he was shot in the neck. Then there was another sound. The second shot, because the head of the president who was shot by the first shot was tilting forward at this time, and the fatal second shot hit the back of the president's head, and Kennedy's head fell back suddenly. More detailed scene of the case The description is like this, "The first shot hit Kennedy in the throat. When Kennedy received the last fatal shot, Jacqueline instinctively climbed to the rear edge of the long gift car and shot it out. Brain tissue. She held it to the hospital and handed it to the doctor. " "

Many of the world women will lose her husband, but not a few husbands will be killed by their side, "the film" First Lady "(Jackie), the actor Natalie Portman said.

This Jacqueline, who became the youngest first lady in American history at the age of 34, was sitting next to the president in the back seat of the 1961 Lincoln Continental luxury convertible. She is a symbol of fashion, maturity, and aspirationalism. One of the women who photographed the most is the woman who truly portrayed President Kennedy to the infinite charm. But she is also the “most unknown celebrity” of contemporary times.

Not long ago, I went to the place where Kennedy was assassinated-Dallas Elm Main street. On one side, the sixth floor where the gunman Oswald shot the deadly bullet (although conspiracy theorists think he was just a scapegoat) has become a museum of in-depth analysis from history to events. The life of Jacqueline is also submerged. In the seemingly more important documents, there will be no more her mental journey on the way and afterwards of "carrying the brain tissues from the lasing to the hospital".

Therefore, the famous Chilean director Pablo Laren took a different approach, letting Natalie Portman use her outstanding acting skills to show Jacqueline's behavior, reaction and psychology within a week after the president's assassination. What is shown outside is her courage that is appreciated by the world, holding the hands of her two children to preside over the funeral, kneeling in front of the coffin with her daughter in the Capitol, following the hearse cabin, the White House walkway, St. Matthews Church, and An everlasting flame in front of the tomb was lit in Warrington Cemetery. In the description of the "London Evening News" with a sense of British pride, she "gave the thing that Americans lack most-the majesty of aristocracy."

However, everyone in the world also understands that politicians can always show only the most appropriate and appropriate side. The other side that you can’t see is that the smoke does not leave your mouth, and the husband complains...Even if you can tell the reporter who came to interview two years later, you will still follow the sentence "I won’t let you write it in, when I didn’t say it. "So the interview manuscript presented to the public will only be a positive energy that reads very humanely. For example, "Kennedy has become a myth now, but I would rather he be a man."

Pablo Laraine is particularly good at showing the parties' anxiety and complex emotions in the context of a large era and huge influential events. "Killer Night Fever" is a serial murderer who appeared in the Chilean capital Santiago during the Pinochet coup d’état. "Chile Says No" is a busy campaign advertiser in the first real election after the country restored democracy.

Although this new film is called "The First Lady", it does not show Jacqueline's rich love history after Kennedy's death-a romantic vacation with her younger uncle Robert Kennedy, two nights of passion and kicking with Marlon Brando. After the opera, Maria Callas began a second marriage with Onassis, the Greek ship king. Her sorrow, pain, tenacity and courage were condensed by a 90-minute movie in a week. At most, some pseudo-documentary flashbacks about the decoration taste when she stayed in the White House, leaving the most pure and beautiful parts in the White House for more than 2 years. In time.

After Kennedy was assassinated, Lyndon Johnson moved into the White House. After finishing the funeral, Jacqueline almost had to move back to the Massachusetts country house. In the movie, Jacqueline said to the maid, "You can call me Jackie." Originally, this beautiful woman, who was naturally free but bound by political etiquette, never liked the name of the first lady, thinking that it was like the name of a racehorse.

    It was a great performance, although the bitterness scenes were a bit too much. The relationship between Jackie and JFK's younger brother is also very subtle. The marriage between the Kennedys is actually very complicated. Neither of them slept in the same room the night before they were assassinated. The biographical film will inevitably be too respectful and suspected of whitewashing, but it can be seen that this is a story about a mother. The mother of a family is also the mother of a country. In the face of history, everyone is small and powerless.

    Biographical films that pretend to be familiar from the title are dangerous, because the audience is likely to be confronted with a lot of homely babble that only acquaintances find interesting. This film is obviously no exception :)
