The story of old Cinderella

I just finished watching [Star Assistant] (or called [Star Butler]), I feel average, Amy Adams is really not too old, a person in his 30s feels like a person in his twenties She was just as tender, although a little wrinkle still betrayed her, but those big flashing eyes looked very innocent. Frances McDormand has a kind of weird neuroticism, and it is worthy of being cultivated in the movies of the Coen brothers. The acting is also very good, and Guinevere's weirdness and boldness are displayed very well.

It feels like the film is about an old Cinderella, Guinevere Pettigrew (the name is weird enough...) is just a poor and weird old woman, because of her character no one gave her a job, in fact her The desire is not too much to want to eat something. The funny part in the film is that when Guinevere carefully gets the food, everything will fall to the ground. She is so hungry that she even ate the cucumber slices as a beauty. This is just a poor man's little wish. During her time as assistant to star Delysia Lafosse, she won the favor of everyone with her slightly weird intelligence and kindness, and woke up Delysia to help her find her true love, and she finally found a She truly respects the people she loves.

No matter when the upper class is very extravagant and chaotic, maybe being in the upper class is not happiness but a shackle. Of course, some people enjoy it, but smart people know what they need, and they should be at the right time. Make your own right choice.

There are a lot of small humor in the film, but there are a lot of British things that we still can't understand, especially the orthodox British voice of the mouth makes me especially crazy, the first sentence "Thrice" makes me dizzy... This is the meaning of three times... Later, I checked the dictionary, and it was old use. The story was told in an earlier age, which is not surprising, but I still have a headache for English pronunciation. . .

    To be honest I don't understand! I came from a recommendation. I thought it was a workplace like "The Queen Wears Prada". I didn't expect it to be a story about a female second who solved three love objects and found true love, and also got love herself. ✨The second girl is cute but scum, everyone in front is very playful ✨1️⃣ It doesn't match the name of the movie, Lafsée is not a star, but will become, the heroine is not an assistant, she is a social secretary (or the informal one Kind) 2️⃣ The heroine (Pettigrew) is older and wrinkled. If it weren't for the fact that there were more shots in tandem, I felt that the second woman was more like the heroine, with more topical shots, and she was more of an assistant. 3️⃣The love between the male and female protagonists comes without foundation. In addition to talking at the party at the beginning, the ending was a little rude. After a short time, I let the powerful male protagonist see nothing, and the impoverished female protagonist (no beauty)... What kind of love is this?
