watching the movie, I felt that the makeup artist should be dragged out and beheaded first, and then the screenwriter. Since there are such poor screenwriters and makeup, it's hard work to leave the last remaining star as the director.
I just finished reading the novel two days ago, so I really want to watch the movie again, but! Who knew the movie was so bad.
Ariza is portrayed as a wretched, rickety old man, and the doctor as an arrogant hypocrite. The most unbearable thing for me is that the doctor doesn't know that Daza likes Ariza at all, but the doctor in the play sneered at Daza for this. The novel is written that the doctor should know, but he has only heard of it, even if he does not take it to heart at all. In my imagination, a doctor should be a person who is gentle, elegant, and confident, and ignores trivial matters. But human beings have their own dark side, and a doctor is a coward in his heart. He doesn't even dare to rebel against his mother's authority. When I was in my fifties, I even had to sneak up on something. After being discovered by my wife, I even breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of my heart. I think that since he did this, he began to wait for his wife to find out and stop him. Because he wanted to do something out of the ordinary and he didn't have enough courage, that's why he looked forward and backward like this, and felt uneasy in his heart.
And the woman with whom he had an affair was the daughter of a priest. She was divorced, free and easy, and she had the charm of a mature woman who could see through everything. At least she was very smart and thoughtful. But what about in the show? He randomly found a black woman and said it was his cheating woman. In the end, he was heartbroken by the doctor's refusal, and looked at his leaving back with tears in his eyes. &*": %￥#, it's really heartbreaking, the movie is a thousand miles away from the spirit of the original work~~
Marquez is a great writer, it is undeniable that a love spanning more than fifty years and half a century is really not something that any writer can come up with. After reading the original work, I have been thinking, what does the "love" in the title "Love in the Time of Cholera" refer to? Is it just a reference to Ariza's half-century love for Fermina? seems not. Throughout the cholera period, he had experienced more than 600 women, and the last one was seduced by him after a year, when he was only fourteen years old. And when he heard the bell, he got up from the bed he and she had just loved, and then abandoned her. Even if the girl died because of him in the end, he was determined to forget about it for the love that he had wanted all his life. Is such love great? In my opinion, this kind of love is too disgusting.
