Maybe. . Is it my low aesthetic ability?

If you're not a Johnny Depp fan. . . Don't watch this movie.

I took the time to watch this movie very seriously, but I don’t know what this seemingly high-level story wants to say (!!!). In my opinion (I'm probably getting old and starting to focus on storytelling), it's very difficult to tell the story of this not-so-famous bastard who is very angry and soft-hearted - there are many characters, The film Zhuyu is ahead, not to mention, the story is really created enough. . . bad.

This film, made by reluctantly mobilizing half-commercial and half-art methods, can not really follow the line of pure art that is shocking to the world, but also half-cover the nerve to tease you with sexual desire and corrupt court elements. The English aristocracy has no British aristocratic tone at all; and the role of the king is specially played by the very French John; the actress who the protagonist falls in love with is pale and flat (wasting Morton; occasionally a few supporting roles and villains, OMG I I don't know what the meaning of their existence is; even KK's new boyfriend, the little white face in the play, died inexplicably (who told me there was a gay plot in this story? Shameless hype). What the hell are you trying to do?

Also, dear Johnny Depp is in dire need of improving his playing style - since the Caribbean, he's been a jerk in everything he's been playing, almost falling into the cliché of a thousand people (Are you sure this isn't the gloomy version of Captain Jack? ?). It's not acting, it's proficiency, and it's murderous.

For the last time, this story is very featureless, even vulgar. If you're not a Johnny Depp fan...

oh oh, forgot to mention, If you're a fan of Coupling, you're lucky enough to see Steve and Jeff in a scene at the same time.

That's all.

The Libertine quotes

  • Rochester: You are one of life's understudies!

  • Harris: [calls to him onstage] My lord!

    Rochester: I asked for no interruption.

    Harris: My suit is one of the utmost urgency: the stage direction at the end of this scene requires, in my opinion, some authorial exposition.

    Rochester: It seems straightforward enough.

    Harris: Yes, um,

    [reading from the script]

    Harris: "Then dance six naked men and women, the men doing obedience to the women's cunts, kissing and touching them often, the women in like manner to the men's pricks, kissing and dandling their cods and then fall to fucking, after which the women sigh and the men look simple and so sneak off." The end of the second act.

    Rochester: A strong scene, an eminently playable scene, and though I say it myself, a climactic one.

    Harris: And w-will the kind of equipment that that young lady has in her hand

    [a large wooden dildo]

    Harris: be available for gentlemen for... strapping around the middle for the execution of this scene?

    Rochester: I had not envisioned you to be so encumbered; I feel this scene should be given... in the flesh.

    Harris: And will we give... two performances on the day?

    Rochester: No, Mr. Harris.

    Harris: [relieved] I am glad to hear that from the author.

    Rochester: With the dress rehearsal, the court performance and the public showing, I envisage three.

    Harris: Right; I don't know if you've met my regular understudy, Mr. Lightman, he's a most dependable fellow.

    Rochester: Sir, you have the honour of playing *my* understudy.

    Harris: [cross] Well, I shall take this opportunity to withdraw from the engagement.

    [he leaves]

    Rochester: [calls after him angrily] You are one of *life's* understudies!
