Two days have passed since my 20th birthday. At that time, the Ninth National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference were about to be held, and Zhang Yimou was preparing to build momentum for "Hero". The Korea-Japan World Cup will start in three months, and nearly half a year has passed since the 9/11 incident.
At that time, I was a second-year student majoring in journalism at a certain university. And "Wall Street Journal" reporter Daniel Pearl is already lying in the cold cemetery.
Even if I think about Google again and again, I can't recall the memory of that moment. When I first saw the name of this American journalist and the report about his death, did I feel so heartbroken as I am now?
Thanks to this movie, I was able to get to know Daniel again from a less "news" context, and of course his wife Mariane. After 9/11, more than 3,000 journalists from all over the world poured into Pakistan near Afghanistan. What Daniel did was what his profession required him to do. After Daniel was kidnapped, Mariane worked as a wife, mother-to-be, and also a professional journalist, to deal with that nightmare for more than 20 days. The ending was written five years ago. Five years later, we are still "outsiders." The difference is that behind the hard political conflicts and conspiracies, some soft details surfaced through images. In addition to the continuous flashbacks of the intimate time between Mariane and Daniel in the film, the most moving thing is that Mariane uses a female-specific way to portray a "strong heart". The first thing to do is to "believe." Believe that her husband is an honest journalist, believe that dialogue can provide hope of rescue, and believe that neither her husband nor herself will be intimidated by terrorism, and that she will have the courage to face everything that will happen in the future.
Therefore, Mariane will send a text message to Daniel, who has been kidnapped, saying I love you. This is also her only prayer for the safety of her husband. In the tense days and nights waiting for news, she still smiled from time to time. Because Daniel said: Don't lose your smile. The sky in Karachi was raining, and Mariane was standing under the eaves with arms folded. Her Pakistani friends believed that Allah had come with rain, and Mariane watched intently, as if the power of calm fell in her heart.
It is worth mentioning that Angelina Jolie's performance shows that Mariane's mentality of wandering between anxiety and restraint is quite in place, and the affection is also just right. The dramatic part is left to the development of the plot itself. Regardless of the sexy line, Jolie walked with her head up tall, and even made people feel that this mature and determined image is more suitable for her now than the previous deviant.
Mariane returned to France to continue her journalist career. Son Adam was born and raised in a city completely different from Karachi. I saw pictures of their mother and son on the Internet, smiling peacefully, like any member of a happy family. Especially the little boy, who has half Jewish ancestry, may not understand what it means, but he showed a look similar to his father. Most of Daniel's photos on the Internet are gentlemen, wise and kind. Even during the period of imprisonment, the pictures did not appear panic, but a little tired. What did he want to say to Mariane at that moment?
End of the film attached with the text of the song lyrics of
the In A Speaking by Manner of
the I want to say Just
That Could Never forget the I The Way
by You Told Me Everything
By saying Nothing
the In A Manner of Speaking
the I do Not Understand
How Love in Silence Becomes reprimand
But the way that i feel about you
Is beyond words
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything
In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
In this life that we live we only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrificed
So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That just like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing.
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything
