Dupree is also a genius, someone destined to spend a lifetime beside the cello. At the age of 5, he first learned the sound of the piano, and at the age of 16, he calmly performed on the stage. Such a talented and talented woman left the stage due to illness at the age of 28. After her death, her sister and brother co-authored a book in her memory, revealing another part of the artist's life behind the curtain. The book describes the pain and madness, love and hate, family affection and forgiveness experienced by this radiant artist, and details the honor and the honor behind the honor.
To describe such a bizarre life, I think, as a film director, I have put a lot of thought into it, especially, in the name of praising Dupree, the ratio of real and fictional, the adjustment of scale, and the selection of angles. externally important. Although it is the same thing, there will be differences in different perspectives. The genius in the eyes of people is different from the genius in the eyes of the genius. Since it can't be presented in its entirety, then looking at the problem with a different identity is always close to being comprehensive. The film begins with a fairy tale-like scene, then traces how young Jackie entered the art world, and then narrates what happened from Hilary and Jackie's respective perspectives.
In Hilary's eyes, it was her younger sister who stole his limelight since she was a child. Since other people's questions have changed from "there is such a genius sister" to "there is such a gifted sister", she has been accommodating to her sister all the way. ——From the care at home to the sharing of her husband, she was reluctant, but she tolerated it again and again. From my sister Jackie's point of view, she was forced to leave home to perform everywhere since she was a child. It was not easy for a weak woman to carry her luggage alone on the streets of a foreign land and to survive in a place where she spoke different words. I finally got home to see my dear sister, but I didn't expect that a man who suddenly appeared took her sister away. All she wanted was to prove that her sister had always cared for her. As for the man who slept with her, it didn't matter at all. She was so used to telepathy with her sister, used to share, used to be pampered and accommodated, and she didn't want to lose all of this.
If you just look at the whole incident from Hilary's point of view, the audience will be angry and feel that this sister is too compromising; once you look at the problem from Jackie's point of view, this girl who left home at a young age will be killed before she has experienced the growth process of a normal child. Quickly pushed into the adult world, the extreme disproportion between her physical age and her mental age made her plight even more pitiful. From the warm tones at the beginning of the movie all the way down to cool colors, by the time Jackie was sick in bed, the room had become cold white and cyan, and people's hearts also fell. Jackie laboriously answered the phone, thinking her husband would come back, but unexpectedly heard the child's cry from the other end. On the night when the wind was raging, Jackie suffered from physical pain and psychological pain in bed. Obviously, the star-holding moon when he was famous was very different from the indifference after the illness. He couldn't help but feel sorry for Jackie's situation. From this point of view, those crazy behaviors are not so unreasonable.
The film ends with a return to the two happy little girls, a metaphor that reminds the audience that Jackie was a happy and strong little girl before she got into the cello, her talent 'give her the world', but also ruined her happiness . Hilary said to her sister, "You can't do anything except the cello". The husband said, "If you don't play the piano, you're not yourself." When the things that supported Jackie's whole life crashed, she would eventually go with her. The music that sets off the whole film is soft and mournful, and it sounds very sentimental.
Geniuses will always shine brightly. Their world is too bright for people to pay attention to, but their delicate life may also be their nightmare. Dupree didn't know what to think when he knew the many things behind him.
