The protagonist of our story is a well-deserved prodigal—he is licentious, obsessed with alcohol, and does not do business all the time. He loves whoever he wants to love, so he loves prostitutes, actresses, and even men... His life is so dazzling. People lose confidence to envy.
In order to highlight the feeling of nostalgia, the director specially chose dark tones full of nostalgia to complete the film. So I desperately rubbed my flushed eyes with severe conjunctivitis, and worked hard to shuttle through scenes with a sense of the times. My eyes flicked over the wavy luxurious wigs of the supporting actor, over the bare shoulders of the supporting actress, and finally fixed firmly on Johnny Depp.
Believe me, this Mr. Wilmert is actually a bastard. Feminists don't like such people-this is only intellectually. Because of his cynicism, his fragility and unruly, no one can hate him, especially maternal adult women. Therefore, some feminists who have failed on this issue have to bite their teeth and think bitterly: Those who love this woman who has suffered a thousand swords without hesitation are really stupid. Suddenly remembered the Nazi officer in "Schindler's List", he was cruel and violent, but when he faced Helen, his eyes were always tender.
Wilmert saw Elizabeth Barry, who was terribly acting in the theater, and his restless heart suddenly jumped out of his chest. So he carefully guided and refuted her phrase "acting is not my career", and an old-fashioned little girl was transformed into a new era. He fell in love, and she fell in love. So she was mentally haggard for love: I am his lover, but not his object.
In the end Elizabeth awakens. Johnny Depp, who is already young because of Hualiu disease, said sincerely that he wanted to marry her. The famous actor Elizabeth Barry refused: My life is meaningful because of drama.
This is simply a slap in the face. He discovered her, cultivated her, captured her, but he could not possess her. He could make a prostitute fall in love with him, he could make his wife cry and kiss the festering face of him, but he could not get his actress. The feminist exulted, the prodigal son was heartbroken, he sorted out the messy wig that had faded, and walked back to the tragedy of his own life.
He is actually very selfish, so selfish that he is only willing to offer sincerity with his weak sickness. He was so arrogant that he didn't understand strategy, and he was a complete fool. The world was spinning crazily in his empty eyes. He shook the empty wine bottle and suddenly felt himself falling from the clouds to the earth. Raising his head from the stage groggyly, the king's lucid face stared at him straightforwardly. He looked up from the absurd drama pretending to be calm, and his madness gushed out all at once.
Such a person is really annoying. You take the right eye to see that he doesn't treat you as a human being, you don’t take the right eye to see him, he doesn’t treat you as a human being, you can only go through fire and water for him, and you can’t even count on him to help you pick up what fell on the ground. thing. But I have to envy such a person. He has the courage to stand at the front desk and curse loudly, but I can only curl up in the corner and curse in a low voice.
In fact, this movie can be said in more depth. It can be said about civil rights, about freedom of speech, about the changes of the times, about the life of drunken dreams and dreams-the director stopped abruptly in the process of excavating the connotation of the story. Our protagonist is reminiscent of the gangster named Thad, but the film hurriedly withdrew in the process of spreading, leaving only a clear image of the prodigal son, so this is doomed to be a failure without edges and corners. But even just an image is good.
Johnny Depp’s homework is really good. It made me exuberant, drooling, speaking incoherently, and writing comments while guilty; I said that his last monologue really touched people’s hearts, and the actors and translators broke out. , So Depp said as he spoke, words like "Gently I am leaving, just as I gently" appeared. The background music is really well matched. Depp's confession before and after has become the highlight of this mediocre work.
So, am I moved by Johnny Depp or Wilmert? This is a problem.
