When Meryl Streep brought Florence Foster Jenkins back to life on screen, one question kept running in my mind: Why didn't they tell Florence the truth?
They, first of all, Florence's husband, played by Hugh Grant. The Englishman who wanted to be an excellent actor crossed the ocean and came to New York, USA because he did not have the opportunity to perform his ideals in his home country. The harsh reality tells "Hugh Grant" that he has no role as an actor! Ideals go with the wind, and life will go on. "Hugh Grant" chose to marry Florence, who has inherited a large inheritance. When the two got married, Florence had been tortured by chronic illnesses, and she couldn't be too happy, let alone a husband and wife. "Hugh Grant" was willing to be a Floren who thought he had a moving voice. S' husband, the reason is self-evident. However, once he becomes Florence's husband, this person really abides by his duties as a husband, not to mention taking care of Florence's necessities, even Florence's arrogance (thinking that he is excellent The opera singer) is also carefully cared for, so meticulous, so enduring, such a gentleman! The newspaper reporter's truthful report on Florence's singing ability was about to be published in the newspaper, but "Hugh Grant" failed to stop him, so he followed the newspaper's footsteps and recovered one by one, trying his best not to let Florence see himself singing. level of truth. If "Hugh Grant" married Florence who could not be his de facto wife purely for money, and someone stabbed Florence with a soft knife, wouldn't that be exactly what "Hugh Grant" meant? Beginning with coveting and ending with kindness and honesty, should it be despised or praised?
Equally difficult to judge is Toscanini's performance in the film. Who is Toscanini? Anyone who is close to classical music knows that just because Florence supported classical music at that time and supported Toscanini, Toscanini deliberately appeared to the media when he stood beside Florence. To the public, it silently makes people feel that Florence's singing level has been recognized by a great conductor. "Cheating" opera lovers into the theater to listen to the hard-to-listen singing of the out-of-tune diva, but it made the rich Florence happy. Are we going to complain or give a thumbs up?
The pianist hired by "Hugh Grant" with a high salary almost ran away when he learned that his job was to accompany Florence. It was "Hugh Grant" who made the pianist reluctantly stay with his high-tech stubbornness. Even so, he couldn't help but want to squirt when he accompanies Florence many times, and that's why So heartily applauding Florence when she accompanies Florence at the Carnegie Theater? A professional musician deliberately blurs the line between good and bad for a singer, should we say he has become hypocritical for money or should we say he deliberately smears his musical talent for a good woman?
As for the male and female audience members who were "amused" by Florence's singing level and fell to the floor of the theater, when Florence sang for the last time in her life, they all stood to the point where they did not know the truth and were sung by Florence. The opposite of the enraged soldier fought to maintain the dignity of Florence. How should we comment on this practice of inverting black and white and blurring right and wrong?
A woman who does not have the ability to sing opera, just because she has money, has so many people coaxing her onto the stage again and again, even the world-famous Carnegie Theater! This kind of film, made into a satirical film of laughter and scolding, can make people overwhelmed by thinking about it, but "Out of tune" has interpreted it as a group of kind people who make an innocent rich poor poor The story of the woman who starts and ends well, we feel warm and at the same time want to ask the creators of this film: How did you do it?
