In May, the speed of watching the disc slowed down significantly, and there was almost no complete mood to watch it seriously, so I simply put it aside as a collection. I watched this "Keep Silent" more than half a month ago. I thought about the topic, but I still didn't find the following. Because I am interested in actors, I am ready to "appreciate" it. Originally, I didn't place too many expectations, but I didn't want to but inadvertently realized a lot of beauty, it is worth a few words here. In the past, I only knew that Mr. Bean was an English actor. His iconic features were his big eyes, broom brows and small face, which always looked serious. In the film, Mr. Bean (call him that for the time being, although his real name is Ron Atkinson, he is too circumspect) plays a kind-hearted and innocent pastor who is busy with God’s cause all day long but is alienated. Communication with family members. Christine Scott Thomas, an elegant beauty, does not need to be introduced, and has an unforgettable acting in "The English Patient". From the loss of derailment to the relief of return, the performance of a pastor’s wife whose feelings are trapped in emptiness is basically in place. Especially the kind of hesitation that is half-pushing and half-pushing and sincere is very worth seeing. The Merry Xiaosheng is played by Patrick Swayze. At first, he just felt familiar. After the old Comrade Cheng reminded him, it turned out to be Sam who is separated from Demi Moore in "Human and Ghosts". The unexpected surprise greatly satisfied my high "standard" and strict "requirements" for the transformation of actors. In fact, the real protagonist is not them, but the housekeeper played by Maggie Smith. By the way, she is the stern and righteous magic teacher in "Harry Potter". In the stills on the cover of the disc, her fingers are in front of her lips in the distant scene, making a "shh" gesture. In fact, from the beginning of the film, accompanied by the huge bloody suitcase, the wonderful story directed by her has already kicked off. Of course, the story will not be straightforward and straightforward, and all mysteries will only come out through twists and turns. British comedies are not as hilarious as American movies, and they are not as mentally handicapped as some inferior domestic comedies. They are a bit like cold humor. You have to touch the corners of your mouth, but not to open your mouth haha. Laugh wildly. What's more, there are scenes of dead people constantly appearing in this movie. If you are so stupid to take it seriously, it will cost the director a lot of effort. I have watched another British film "Calendar Girl" before, which is also very British in style, elegant and gentle, but with some deep meaning. If "Calendar Girl" is a light comedy, this "Keep Silent" can be regarded as an out-and-out black comedy. There are several passages in the impression that are very interesting, or intriguing. In the beginning, the young woman on the train was the housekeeper before going to prison. She killed her husband and his mistress who had had an affair, packed them in a suitcase, and faced the police officer's question, and the answer was: shouldn't I teach them a lesson? An innocent look on his face. Since then, her "teaching" method has been repeated again and again. At this time, she is already an old woman and has applied for a job as a housekeeper in the house of her daughter-in-law. Of course, this foreshadowing will not come out easily. With the increasing number of "lessons", all the people she thinks have hindered the normal life of her daughter's family have been "handled", including the neighbor's one that is always all night. Barking dog. Obviously, her reason is simply a word of "love", even though this way of expressing love sounds so extreme and cruel. The best part is that at the end of the film, the two workers in yellow clothes also sank to the bottom. This time, her daughter succeeded her to complete the "lesson" process. It takes an understanding mood to like such a black comedy, and there is also a clear premise that the story is not reality. None of the characters in the film have exaggerated expressions. For example, the old woman is holding objects such as irons and pans and wielding "weapons" to eradicate dissidents, which is truly amazing. So, I say it is-seriously funny, seriously lyrical.
