The title is worth mentioning. The original English name "Proof" is straightforward and rich in meaning. Indo-European languages are like this, with light modification and heavy connotation, and it is appropriate to be used as a name throughout the film. The official translation of the mainland name "Evidence" is absolutely flat and literal, but it is also absolutely boring. Putting it in the language family of Chinese is unavoidable, and it sounds like a court trial minutes; the Hong Kong translation is "love, count as love", Hong Kong I always follow the line of exaggeration and lyricism, but it is often not simple enough, too many turns, and too much romance; therefore, I have to admire the Taiwanese’s profound knowledge of "sincere and elegant"-"prove that I love you", and retain both It expresses the emotions in the original flavor and comfortably, and at the same time expresses the main idea of the film in the way of oriental narration. The essence of Chinese is great, it seems that the islanders are better at learning than we are...
Only after I had a lot of trouble, I talked about the movie, because the movie itself is much more straightforward and simple to express. The director seems to understand the roughness and simplicity of the story, so he can only use good actors and alternative telling methods to polish it. The past and the present, the illusion and reality are intertwined back and forth, making people feel like falling into the fog, not knowing the truth. There are no major twists and turns in the advancement of the story. All climaxes and highlights can only rely on the performance of the actors.
Gwyneth Paltrow is often called the "Queen of Water". The source is the Oscar queen title that burst into the cold and many people were unconvinced. I have never touched "Shakespeare in Love", so I don’t judge it. But compared with "Shakespeare", although the repercussions caused by this film, the spread and the number of word-of-mouth are much worse, Paltrow’s performance is really superior. It is even worthy of the title of queen. It’s easy to play a normal person, but it’s not difficult to play a lunatic. Many lunatic roles have created an actor, but it’s really a challenge to play a character who seems mad but not mad, even though it’s a little too hard to play the madman side. , But it was generally successful, especially in dealing with the director’s favorite close-ups, the anxiety when not being understood, the restraint and sweetness when getting love, and the complex emotions of dealing with the mad father.
Anthony Hopkins, that is simply the god in my mind! (I definitely seldom add an exclamation mark in a film review) Only a few appearances, a talent has passed away, passion is still there, and dying, but the father who has never faded his love for his daughter interprets it to the fullest. This kind of performance can be called a god. The level is also the biggest emotional point of the film, adding a lot of strength.
As for the handsome Jack, there is not much room for performance, and he has done his "fresh meat" work very seriously.
The film seems to be not as exciting as what I described. Those stalks laid out with mathematics, I also forgive me that this mathematics is taught by a Chinese teacher and suffers from indigestion. However, you can still read a lot of the truth about life by taking a closer look. In fact, many times, what people want is not proof, but trust; what we want to prove is not a formula, but love.
