film Albert Nobbs is once again in such an atmosphere. , Tells about a person's life that is too simple to be simpler.
Albert Knobbs makes a living as a waiter in a hotel by disguising as a man. Her daily life is to get up-go to work-calculate after get off work, and collect tips-look at pictures of mother-go to bed. At any moment before locking the door every day, in order not to reveal her true gender, she carefully closed herself up, not listening or speaking.
More than 20 years of such a life has made her a boring, non-existent, or even genderless person. She has fewer expressions, fewer words, and can't even tell a joke. Her behavior became like a shy little man, but she still believed that she was a woman in her heart, so for the first time she wore her daughter, she chose a floral dress with a shawl. On the beach, she opened her arms and ran forward, but immediately fell to the cold reality of the ground.
To be a man? She doesn't have the desire of a man, how can she hope to find a beautiful little woman to relieve the loneliness of the rest of her life? Except for fantasizing that a beautiful little woman knits a sweater in front of the fireplace to bring a warm view of home, she never even thought about hugging and kissing that woman before proposing marriage.
The blank and simple mind made her unable to see that "Mr." Hobert, who is also a menswear, is a homosexual. There is love and sex between Hobert and Catherine.
In that era when women have no rights, as a second sex, they have been suppressed and humiliated everywhere in society, so you can’t be a man, you can’t be a woman, and you don’t know what you want. Isn't it more miserable?
Many people criticize Albert's vague inner world in the movie, but they think this is the subtlety of the movie. It vividly portrays a person who suppresses himself and is careful about how to become a person who does not pursue happiness at all. Know what is her image of a happy person. This is a society where the weak and the strong eat the strong, and sensitive and fragile people are easily trapped in the cracks and have nowhere to escape.
Of course, Albert's world is not all gloomy. The warm moment comes from her bold and realistic dream-to open a decent shop with the 500-pound tip she saved. After watching the movie, I found the original soundtrack of the movie, and the soundtrack of the shop was very dreamy and warm.
As a comparison item of the same kind, "Mr. Holbert" is an opposite example. She is confident, tall, strong, humorous, and understanding. She dared to resist injustice and dared to possess what she wanted. Take a look at these descriptions. Apart from empathy and humor, they are almost all of the characteristics of men, so she can attract the women around her, whether it is the waitress in the hotel or the stingy, vain, and despicable proprietress. Fighting to show concern for her, or coquettish. The true charm is what crosses the boundaries between men and women, right?
Or is this simply a masculine world? Women, especially those at the bottom of society, apart from being attached to men, only those with the characteristics of men can survive in this cruel world tenaciously.
Or in other words, the reason why women become women is the result of nurturing? (See "Second Sex")
Although the story is tragic, the plot is definitely full of easy and humorous smiles. Most of them came from "Mr." Holbert. For example, the moment she opened her shirt narrowly to show Albert the body of her very big woman, the audience would probably admire in their hearts: Mommy!
There are also a lot of rich content in the movie. For example, the poor and handsome Joey was born in a family of drunks and couldn't write even words. Is he a bad guy? Not all. For example, the Viscount’s parasitic life is used as a contrast, and he is constantly accusing the society of injustice. For example, doctors who like to get drunk always say philosophical words: We're both disguised as ourselves. That's a good one, eh?
As for behind the scenes, the director Rodriguez Garcia is the son of the famous writer Marquez. . The supporting roles are not weak either. For example, "Henry VIII" played the Viscount, his "Queen Catherine" played the waitress Mary (really a sexy and attractive actress).
There is also a very nice ending song lay your head down.
