This movie, in which the male and female protagonists hold up the overall picture, is likely to be ruined if the casting is wrong. Therefore, the Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard (Marion Cotillard) and the actress Wakun Phoenix (Joaquin Phoenix) interpret the Polish beautiful woman in the film, and the man who gave her a helping hand (or poisonous claw) It is nothing more than a wise choice.

The plot of the story is very simple, the whole focus is on the heroine. Pursuing the American dream, the Polish sisters traveled across the oceans, but the younger sister was detained on the island because of illness. At a time when the bribery culture was extremely popular, the older sister Eva (Mary Yong Kotia) had to spend a lot of money to rescue her, and the relatives were ruthless. She refused her door. In desperation, she accepted the help of a strange man Bruno (Vacquen Fenix), but was forced to sell herself as a prostitute, but because of his obsession with her, everything was no longer innocent.

Under the real American immigration background in the 1920s, the narrative of the supremacy of moneyism cannot be separated. In contrast, the real emotions between people have become extravagant. The male protagonist faces the unreachable love, in addition to destroying and possessing confession. Option, personal life and even life will fall for it, willing to lose what he originally possessed, creating a chaotic situation in a single thought, the plot in Bruno loses reason for love and accidentally kills Jeremy Renner's love enemy played by Jeremy Renner The role reaches its climax, and then, in order to save the heroine, he is willing to lose the long-established official contacts.

In the whole film, the nudity and sexual relations that the heroine may have in response to the plot are completely eliminated. Even if the beautiful Eva is reduced to the identity of a prostitute, she does not reduce her attitude as a woman, but instead displays her beliefs and relationships as much as possible. Firmness, how the director deliberately expresses her uniqueness in the old-fashioned narrative of women selling themselves for money in the chaotic era, apart from bringing in a lot of close-up facial shots of Cortia to show her beauty, it also portrays the firm personality of women. What the low-class roles of society do not have, but they are beautiful and too unreal. Regardless of whether there are such female roles in real life, we can see that the director’s idealism carries the expectation of perfect women, which sweeps away women at the bottom of society. The fate that it brings is gloomy and miserable, and even if you want to resist, you must arm yourself to change the fate. The suffering of women here seems to be a little bit "light". Perhaps in the end, the main axis of the whole article will have to be thought of: beauty It caused a war, and fate is more or less on the side of the beautiful woman!

Perhaps forty years ago, this film would be a moving romance in troubled times, but nowadays, blockbuster films are presented in a multi-linear narrative way. A single narrative method may be weak in the eyes of the audience, but in any case Interpreted by these two actors are the main reasons for greatly adding points to this film. It can only be said that the casting is successful.

    As soon as I opened it and saw the dim tones, the meticulous art, the era was restored so accurately, and the theme of the love and hatred of immigrants during the Great Depression and Prohibition of the 1920s was added, I moved a stool and waited for another "U.S. "The Past" later proved that I was thinking too much. Even Jackie Kun and Ma Liang can't save their hall-of-class acting skills. Is it swollen?

    In fact, everything is great, but unfortunately the story is a bit bad. ★★★
