I haven't read the original work, but I've watched Grandma Zhang's "Long Live the Wife". No matter how much the movie has changed the drama, it's definitely not as good as "The Wife".
Helen Hunter was not suitable for playing a charming woman regardless of her appearance and temperament. In the end, she became "a good woman" in the title of the film. A woman from a good family can only play a woman from a good family, and it is reluctant to ask her to play a fox. It was the first time I saw Scarlett Jonathan on the screen. Her snow-white skin glowed like ceramics, but the character was a dashing little Jiabiyu, who played silly and cried for a while. Especially the scene when she discovered her husband's unknown secret is completely in line with Xiao S's exaggerated performance in Kangxi.
Wilde's story has always been a turmoil in a teacup, and it has absolutely nothing to do with great joy and great sorrow. So, this can't be "The Graduate" in the 1930s, when audiences couldn't accept such a wide scale. The charming scenery of Italy is very eye-catching. The female stars are dressed beautifully on the camera, and they speak Wilde's harsh lines. The director did not forget to let the handsome guy undress and show his figure. This kind of movie really can't be resisted.
The director has filmed many BBC TV dramas in the past, and this time it seems that he has come into contact with the big screen for the first time. The British shooting Wilde may be like the Chinese shooting Cao Yu. If there is no new idea, few brushes must be scolded to death. Such a well-established way of shooting, the broken mouth that should have been Lubitsch's style has become a contrived hymn to praise women, no wonder foreigners do not buy it. However, for people like me who have never touched the fairy spirit of a literary master, this film is also a good choice to cool off the heat. There were more than 20 people in the smallest movie hall, and the scene was full of laughter. It seems that the half price on Tuesday did have a stimulating effect, and the costume literary film may not have no audience at all.
