Anthony Minghella disappoints

A friend borrowed a DVD for me, and watched "Breaking and Entering" starring Jude Law. It seemed that the movie was only on for a week or two when it was drawn, and there were other options during the same period, and I missed it. I heard a lot of bad reviews at that time, Ben I don't really believe it, but this time I see it and I agree with it.

Maybe the director's previous work is too good, everyone will have expectations. Anthony Minghella's many works are good, and they are both director and script: "Cold Mountain" (2003), " The Talented Mr. Ripley"(1999), "The English Patient"(1996), "Truly Madly Deeply"(1990). No wonder "Breaking and Entering" was a little disappointing. Also, the executive producer is the famous Sydney Pollack.

Story It is a little less convincing, especially Juliette Binoche, who plays the new immigrant Amira in the play, is a middle-aged woman with a son in her teens. How can she attract the handsome Jude Law (Will Francis)? I believe this is my first time in Seeing such an ugly Binoche in the movie, I'm so sad for her, making her so ugly.

Both heroines in the movie are sad characters. Liv played by Robin Wright Penn spends every day for her autistic daughter And worried, the relationship with her husband Will (Jude Law)

is getting worse day by day. Liv and Amira are middle-aged women who are facing adversity in their lives. , his acting skills are also well done. And the young actor Rafi Gavron who plays Amira's son Miro is good. The actor is good, but the movie is loose.

There is a lot of room for any subject to be explained: unconditional love between mother and daughter, love and forgiveness, love and betrayal. Anthony Minghella can photograph The English Patient, The Talented Mr. Ripley, and many more years Truly Madly Deeply, my former favorite, how can it be surprising this time?
