Who is Vincent Caso? In the past few years, Natalie Portman won the Oscar for "Black Swan", and she was very popular. He is the hero of "Black Swan". Once you have seen the movie, you know that he is still under the explosion of Natalie Portman's acting skills-I don't want to habitually use "Break out of the siege"-chic and light, he can attract the audience's attention with ease. When watching "Black Swan", I automatically ignored Yingying Yanyan in the ballet company. Seeing him dancing in line, I suddenly thought: if "charm" really has a personal incarnation, That's probably it.
In this "My King", he finally brought his charm to the extreme. After watching the film, of course, the first time he will think that the actor is a capitalized "scum", but he just makes people hate him.
In the film, he plays a handsome and unrestrained restaurant manager: rich, single, riding a motorcycle, drinking, and eating food, his ex-girlfriend is a model with a higher eye. The heroine is a plain-looking female lawyer who is disliked by her ex-boyfriend: her own brother and sister-in-law are basically the only ones in her social circle. She works rigorously and punctually, and occasionally goes to the bar, which is a bit funny.
It was these two people who were quite different from each other, magically seeing each other in the bar.
Yes, in the words of the protagonist of "Midnight Paris", it is excusable for my fiancée to cheat here. why? Because this is Paris.
The film advances in the form of two intertwined clues: in one line, the heroine falls on a knee while skiing, and performs day after day rehabilitation exercises in the rehabilitation center; in the other line, the heroine recalls her acquaintance with the hero , The process of falling in love until the final dismal end.
There is no doubt that they had a very good life. On the first night of the meeting, the two of them chatted from dark to dawn, and they were not bored at all; when they went to watch the horse racing, the heroine yelled nervously and excitedly, and the hero childishly pretended not to know her, but couldn't help but smile at her. ; The heroine gave a lawyer's speech, and the actor made a special trip to listen, earnest and proud.
What I particularly like is that after the first night of chatting, the protagonist and the heroine and his brother’s family bid farewell.
Leading actor: Can I give you my mobile phone number?
Heroine: If you want.
Actor: Okay, go on.
He threw his cell phone to the heroine, told her the cell phone password twice, waved his hand and left.
I really can't think of a girl who can remain unmoved by this trick. How many pairs of men and women, when it's time for old couples and old wives, can't say such things as "you can just look at my phone". Fortunately, he only met the night before, and he also set a mobile phone password: treating the contents of the mobile phone as an expression of personal privacy. When it came to her, it spread out naked: you can watch and play, you can take everything, and you can know everything.
The rest is very logical: going to bed, getting pregnant, getting married.
The nightmare is coming.
This kind of nightmare is a bit ridiculous: what she cannot tolerate after marriage is precisely the reason she fell in love with him.
She loves him to live freely and freely, but after marriage, she only cares about pleasure and has no sense of responsibility, because she feels that they live in the same room and there is no private space and rent a house on the same street. They are all friends. After marriage, they became a group of indulgences doing business, traveling and even drinking and drugging all over the world; she loved him as a child-like innocence, but after marriage, she became coquettish, begging for drinks and trusting others. As a result, she was in debt; she loved him and was sensitive and passionate, but after marriage she became guilty because her ex-girlfriend committed suicide for him. She temporarily left her pregnant wife to see her, and left the sentence "No matter what you say, I will take care of her." ".
In the end, the heroine was directly forced into bipolar disorder by him, and the divorce ended.
Why did it become like this? Who is wrong?
The actor said: The reason why you were with me and agreed to my marriage proposal was because you loved me like that? You love me like that, why should I become another person? Why do you want to reform me again?
The policeman's ex-wife played by Aaron Kwok in "Treading the Blood and Looking for the Plum" said: You weren't married at the beginning, you are like this (speaking of the case in a spirit) I think you are so cute, and I should listen to the story when I am here. But after getting married, you always do this, I really feel so hard.
why? Because the protagonist and heroine have completely inconsistent understanding of "marriage".
The heroine is a lawyer. She feels that marriage gives both parties the social identity of "husband" and "wife". To enter marriage, you need to change your original characteristics that are incompatible with this identity, play this role well, and take on the incidental aspects of this role. Responsibility-Put away your playfulness, pick up a sense of responsibility, and always put your family first, otherwise you will be incompetent.
The protagonist regards marriage as a symbol of a stable relationship between two people, a symbol of deep affection, and a qualification that needs to be obtained more conveniently. Marriage is a proof for us to be close, caring for each other and raising children together. Before and after marriage, I am still me, no need to change, nor change.
So, who is right and who is wrong?
After the divorce, because they raised their son together, the two still kept in touch. After the initial indifference, the relationship between the two became an infinite cycle of "dating-going to bed-quarreling-reconciliation". Without the shackles of marital responsibilities, he lived more chic and indulgent, but she lost herself even more in the close relationship between the two. This is the moral of the title "My King": she worships and admires him as her own king, losing her reason, principle, and herself in front of him.
The advance and retreat of their relationship is completely under his control. He knows what to do to make her angry, how to look at her will make her agree to his most unreasonable request, what witty remarks can make her laugh, what kind of tone can make her feel that she is too self-conscious, and he just Treat her as an "acquaintance".
At this time, she was tangled and struggling, and her relationship was fluctuating due to the ups and downs of this relationship, and she almost collapsed. So, at the beginning of the film, she went skiing, skating hysterically, and hurt her knee.
The psychiatrist told her: "The knee is a joint that is only allowed to bend backwards. The pain of the knee means that a person is unwilling to accept the accidents in his life, as well as unwilling to accept physical and psychological treatment." Then she had no choice but to do so. She entered the rehabilitation center for regular treatment. As her knees slowly recovered, her mentality gradually became calm and peaceful: her knees became more flexible day by day, and she made a group of "patients" and went shopping and drinking with them. Talk about things, joke with each other, don't need to see that man, concentrate on sorting out your own thoughts. Most importantly, she can laugh without him.
Her knees are healed, and her life is on the right track. Received a case that all lawyers dream of, and learned to enjoy the fun in life. This is exactly what he taught her.
At the end of the film, the two people meet again because their son's teacher needs to meet with their parents. He was getting old, but he was still late without guilt, strode into the classroom, playing with a motorcycle helmet in his hand. The camera lingered on him following her gaze: his long, well-knotted hands, Hu stubble's unshaved chin, a spring breeze smile, a straight nose, and her eyes were full of love. At the end of the meeting, he stood up, without greetings and invitations, said softly "goodbye", and left without looking back. She was shocked and regretful for a moment, and then smiled relieved.
so good. Some film critics said that this section was a failure of the whole film, marking that the heroine was finally facing the "king" and still bowed to her knees and dropped her helmet and armor, but what I saw was not the case. She still loves him, but he is no longer her "king", she owns her own life, and is no longer his vassal. The way she looked at him was a woman's appreciation and admiration for a man, not the subjects' awe of the king and obedience to authority.
She truly became herself, a whole person, and still loved him. I can't think of a better love than this. It is precisely because of this that she is no longer like a boat drifting with the current, uneasy in his uncertain sea. The ship was still on the sea, but it was leaning against the shore, and the wind and rain could not knock it down. So she was no longer ecstatic or resentful because of his enthusiasm or indifference, he said "goodbye", she was reluctant to give up, and finally responded with a smile. At this time, she truly fell in love with him-fell in love with someone who has countless shortcomings but always attracted her, instead of the perfect "king" illusion constructed in her heart based on him.
Zhang Ailing wrote to Hu Lancheng, "When I saw him, she became very low and low, down to the dust. But she was happy in her heart, and flowers bloomed from the dust." This is the best portrayal of the heroine: she Humble low into the dust, a flower bloomed.
That flower is herself.
