--------------- Rumi, the
poor Princess Diana , a Persian poet in the 13th century . I don't like to use the term "car accident movie", but the terrible fact is that 16 years after the terrible car accident in 1997, she died in another terrible car accident.
---------------- "The Guardian"'s comment on "Diana"
In fact, "Diana" is not as unbearable as expected. However, the biographical craze triggered by "The King's Speech" and "The Social Network" has stimulated filmmakers' enthusiasm for biography and raised the threshold of biopics. Compared with them, "Diana" is indeed a lot weaker. The leading actress, Naomi Watts, was nominated for an Oscar in the last year with "Miracle of Tsunami". "Diana" must be her ambition to succeed and pursue another city. But unfortunately, the mediocrity of the whole film is that she lost Maicheng, but still can’t deny that Diana, who she played, is still graceful, elegant and charming, especially when the beginning and end of the film look back, the most is this one. You know, after going out of that door, she will be greeted by a terrible car accident that will only make her lose her. All the feuds and concerns of time are contained in that inadvertent looking back.
"Diana" is the story and the unacceptable love story that gives people a bad feeling. The protagonist is actually a dark-skinned Pakistani, and just a surgeon. This is a beautiful and charming princess! The fact that a small doctor from the third world can actually plunder beauty is very unacceptable. What is even more unacceptable is that in this relationship, the woman is still chasing the man, the princess chasing the dick, and he is repeatedly rejected, and the family makes things difficult. It is really unbearable.
This kind of racist and discriminatory point of view does affect the feeling of watching movies. In other words, it’s the stereotypes of stereotypes. People want to see the heavenly match between the prince and the princess, or the passion spark between the hero and the beauty, not the reversal of Cinderella and the prince, the only unacceptable thing is the princess and the dick. . Although there are literary and artistic sketches such as "Shrek", they can only be literary and artistic sketches, and cannot appear in the reality before them, especially for stunners like Princess Diana. She can continue to be a lover of the masses and accept the crowd's onlookers and love, but she can't have her own personal feelings.
"Diana" challenged the old feelings of the above audience, bravely walked out of the palace, and then fell in love with an ordinary person. Pain for it, crying for it, and crazy for it, these are all feelings that belong to a real woman, but they are not part of public acceptance.
Diana died in a car accident again, and this evaluation is too harsh. Although there are no more details about Diana's life and thoughts in the movie, no doubt the historical obsessiveness will not get more from the movie. However, the film does not have enough reasons to dig out the source of Diana's mental pain. It does not give enough reasons to describe the contradictory and complex opinions of being a princess and personal opinions, and it does not even reveal the real fascination of the Pakistani doctor. Just tell the audience that Diana is in love, in love with a doctor, and the doctor is Pakistani.
"Love is a dangerous garden. If you smell the charming fragrance, you will be trapped in the mire of love." This sentence was told to Diana by the Pakistani doctor in the movie, and Diana did fall in love with one. Ordinary people are stuck in it, she wants to protect him, but always hurt him inadvertently. When the paparazzi exposed their relationship, Diana made a public clarification and refused to admit the existence of this relationship. This hurt the doctor, making him feel like a garbage box, throwing emotional garbage into people when needed, but turning around but unable to get recognition. Then Diana wanted to take the doctor to live in a foreign country. When Diana used her resources to get a good job opportunity for the doctor in the United States, the doctor lost her temper because of her self-esteem. Then, the doctor finally accepted this feeling, but his mother in the Pakistani family could not accept it. All of this put Diana in emotional torment, and in order to protect the doctor, he took the initiative to expose his non-existent feelings with others, but he did not restore the love she wanted. Until the car accident happened, everything became a pity...
Naomi Watts had a simple face, to a large extent, she performed the image of the princess she wanted to show, but the script was not strong. Did not dig out Watts' acting skills further. Biopics are very good candidates for acting skills, but many biopics in the last two years have turned out to be cannon fodder, like "Jobs", like "Love in a Country", like "Hitchcock", like "Hoover", like "Man Della: The Road to Freedom, like “The Speed of Love”, like “The Big Dreamer,” the latter ones are slightly better, at least they won word of mouth, but the only ones who can go to the Oscar are “The Wolf of Wall Street” and “I A week with Monroe. It's just that I don't know if Xiao Li will take away that little golden man. Just like Michelle Williams in "A Week Between Me and Monroe", despite his brilliance, he finally lost to Aunt May in "Iron Lady", who is also an expert. "Diana" hasn't even been shortlisted for any larger film festival, and it's almost completely forgotten. And I, in this Oscars award season, slowly watched one by one, not only the shortlisted films, but also the protection of the films that I think are Oscar-level. It’s just that the awards are about to be presented soon, and it looks like it’s going to take a lot of time to finish watching more than 20 films.
