I don’t like such a hypocritical and flimsy Jackie

It is a consistent practice in Hollywood to select a certain highlight in history to summarize a character, such as "The Princess of Morocco" and "Iron Lady", but in fact, this often misleads the public's understanding of these historical figures. They are not a single dimension. This movie is called Jackie, but I can only see Jackie in the president's assassination, not the whole plump, three-dimensional and complex Jackie. Is she just a master of political public relations? Her own life is very interesting and very thought-provoking. The reason why she became Jackie in the history frame is that she has determined to play a specific role since she was a child, which is a strange ambition for a little girl from a well-off family. Of course she has emotions, but that is secondary. Compared to her ambition to leave a name for herself and her husband, President Kennedy, personal feelings are worthless. She needs to control her emotions well, regardless of the script. To change, she must always improvise acting competently and astutely. Whether to love his husband or not, if you read some wild history about Marilyn Monroe, I am afraid you can also imagine that for a woman who wants to be a horned child, love is just an after-dinner dessert .

The real Jackie also looks very pretentious in the video. Whether it's her babbling accent and slow manner, or her deliberately constant smile on her face, I really like grinning far more than her. The big-mouthed Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Trump who can't wait to smoke her husband's mouth all the time. Natalie Portman also tried very hard to imitate her various costumes, so it made people look uncomfortable. If it is said that cuteness is more important than "elegance", "wisdom", "noble" and so on, I can only say that Jackie on this screen is not cute at all, and it is estimated that Jackie in reality is also not cute. Hypocrisy may be a more suitable term for her, but we hope that we can see the deeper and more mysterious human contradictions behind her hypocrisy, rather than a black belly who struggles to control everything in the midst of the turmoil.
