story is about a college student who just came out of the society, because he was asked who are you during the interview and suddenly lost his way, so he escaped from the scene and got a chance Coincidentally become a nanny, and gradually accumulate "social experience" and grow up. -Exactly, why are all interviews asking this question? The information is not all written and placed in front of you, and the interview will only be done after reading it all? One minute to answer who am i? Are you kidding me? !
Anyway, the film was adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name, and it was the double champion of the New York Times bestseller list and Amazon's North American bestseller list. It was praised by critics as "clearing the fog of Manhattan's upper class". It's a pity that the movie doesn't seem to be able to inherit this depth, but Nova hasn't read the original book yet.
The large monologues of the characters strengthen the expression, and it is also very creative to use the museum window to display the various states of society, but the film lacks a prominent point, and the accumulation of too many contradictions makes people a bit dazzling: it is to express the young people who have just appeared in society. The hesitation, or do you want to uncover the dark side of human nature? Is it to express the importance of family ethics, or to show that money is not everything? What does the red parachute that appears in fantasy many times represent? The temptation of a high-paying career, or the yearning for freedom?
The movie poster reads: "A comedy about life at the top, as seen from the bottom." If it was really the bottom class, I don't think I would have written this novel, just like the black nanny in the movie If you teach the heroine a lesson - why do you say that you are helpless? I left my hometown just to feed my family, that's what life is about! You stop moaning there! ——Perhaps it is this embarrassment of "not enough, but more than the next" that leads the film (or book) to be full of self-contradiction.
However, from another perspective, the loose theme may be to show different priorities, like the window of a museum, to show the colorful world as much as possible, so that different people can think about the issues they care about. So, in general the movie is enlightening, although the discussion is not too deep, like taking tourists into the jungle and asking them to come out on their own. Maybe this is closer to reality.
It's worth noting that every character in the film is well behaved. It goes without saying that Mrs. X Laura Linney's powerful acting skills, the heroine Scarlett Johansson is not too much, and hottie Chris Evans is really hottie! (It's a bit like Tom, but the side is especially handsome!) And Alicia Keys is actually playing Scarlett's friend, which is really wonderful. Little Grayer Nicholas Art's expressiveness is also in place, and it doesn't have the "pretentiousness" of most child stars. It's very natural and very good.
