Although the synopsis talks about comedy, I don't see much joy in it other than the ending.
Renee Zellweger plays a slightly silly woman who always leaves no trace, which makes people wonder if there is such a silly element in her personality, but this time the heroine's stupidity is different from the heroine in the single diary. If Briget Jones, an older single, is holy in her desire and passion for unrelenting love, Renee in this film shines in her saying no to a marriage that's ailing.
In a patriarchal marriage, the husband is responsible for earning the money to support the family, while the woman spends the money. As the head of the family, the husband hooks up with women outside the house, and takes wild flowers home to roll the sheets while the wife is not at home. Unfortunately, the wife has always had a weird way of doing things. , actually went home one day earlier, so there was a good show of catching the rape in bed. If the heroine were alive now, let alone in the United States, even in China, she would be able to play a strategy like the famous female artist Zhou, so that her husband would be criticized by thousands of people, and she would be the heroine herself. It's just a pity that in the United States in the 1950s, although the heroine was a blond and blue-eyed beauty with a southern aristocratic temperament, she was not the master of the family at all. Just because her husband, despite being an artist in the name of being an artist, really worked hard to earn money to support his family. So when the heroine calmly helped Wildflower buckle her bra, and calmly said divorce to her husband who was only wearing underwear, the man laughed, what, I am responsible for making money, you are responsible for spending money, forget it, you are responsible for divorce Go, you can't come to me if you don't have any money to spend, I'm scared! Just let the wife go.
It is said that the heroine's behavior is really strange, and it's okay to run away from home alone, but forcibly pulling the two young and young sons, it seems that it is really true. So such a mother and two sons set off in a beautiful car that was temporarily bought, and the heroine began her new courtship journey, just to find another Gentleman to rely on. It's a pity that I didn't meet any Gentle men along the way, either the man who ransacked his wallet while the heroine went to the toilet, the soldier who was so irritable and authoritarian as a fascist who wanted to overthrow communism, and a man who suffered from insane deceit. A man married by a woman, or waiting in a bar for a man with a wealth of wealth, the man flirted with a girl the same age as her son, sadly she lost the courage to go up to say hello, so she turned And accosted another silent man sitting at the bar, because she had already noticed that the silent man had been looking at her, but she did not expect to be rude again. This man was a detective, and then he used the name of a passenger The surprised hostess was sent to prison.
While experiencing so many unreliable men, the heroine is also changing, from initially just looking for a man to rely on, to starting to put down her face and looking for a job, from a waiter in a restaurant in Chicago and a salesperson in a paint shop, and then Extras to Hollywood in Los Angeles. The job went from being fired for pouring hot coffee on customers, to increasing the turnover of the paint shop by 20% because of his clever mouth and beauty, to successfully selling his son in Hollywood for leading actor auditions, Although it turned out that another son became an actor. The film ends with the heroine sitting on a Hollywood stage, embroidering leisurely.
Writing this, I suddenly feel that this film technique is similar to another Japanese film. A relative who is also the heroine acts as an informant, the bystander narrator of the whole story, from the repeated use of flashbacks to the plot setting of the story, the heroine experiences this series of men, and her beliefs never fall , always maintaining a naive idea, this film also uses the atmosphere of light drama, but the sadness of the storyline itself deepens the film's infection. Yes, in my opinion, it is simply the American version of "The Life of a Disgusted Matsuko", but Matsuko embodies a mythical Japanese woman: that is, her faith in men is immortal, and her beloved man is the sun of Matsuko's world. , Matsuko, who is lame, also has good wishes and moves towards her man like a father chasing the sun. And this film shows a sanctified American woman who is loyal to love, recognizes a one-to-one marriage, and has a strong independent viability. If it is said that Matsuko's character developed from a childhood lacking father's love into an unbreakable knot, then the heroine gradually achieved self-sublimation through an affair with her husband.
Of course, in this beautiful journey from north to south, she still met a gentleman, a neighbor man named "Brother Bud" in Pittsburg. A minute before he saw the heroine, he lit a cigarette in front of their Cadillac admiring the car, the heroine walked out of the hotel door, the man turned to see her, saw her pick up the suitcase from the car, and said, "Mrs. , this car is good." The heroine said thank you, and saw the man approaching the car and said: "The car has a potential gender symbol, it is sometimes male, sometimes it is female, tail fins are often compared to raised skirts , while the taillights are compared to sex organs, I personally think that this Cadillac is female." The heroine immediately smiled when she heard this, and then the man's sister next to him explained that a man had never said so much at one time, And jokingly said that the words of his life would add up to this much. Just when the heroine was mistaken for a prostitute and went to prison, Bud picked her up at the police station door. She hurried to explain things to him, but he said you don't need to explain anything to me, you just need to go home now. After returning to the residence, she asked him not to publicize the matter. He immediately responded with a joke, what did you say? After seeing the woman smiling, she said seriously: You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. The heroine responded with a kiss on the cheek and a hug. The man first gently pushed away the shoulders of the heroine, and the heroine slowly retracted the arms around her. The man asked the woman to take care of herself, turned and walked back. Room. The heroine understands that this is the only man she has met along the way who truly loves her, not just coveting money or beauty, but a man who really helps and cares, and calls him to stop before he opens the door of the room. He, in a very gentle voice, said: You are a real Gentleman I met after I left New York.
I think every key episode of a great movie can be watched over and over again, and you can carefully observe and try to figure out the expressions and movements of the actors, because the actors and the The characters are completely integrated, and every actor in this film is outstanding. Renee is an old actor. Needless to say, "I" Rogan Lerman, as a new generation actor born in the 1990s, the performance in it is also extremely natural and mature. Canadian actor Mark Rendall, "My Brother", perfectly portrayed a girly boy.
A flower is a world, a movie is also a rich and complete world. The heroine's iconic words "Tomorrow will be better" can become an encouraging motto. The words of the psychotic paint shop owner about women seem to be quite reasonable, "I" A kiss on the girl's face and "my" mother's kiss on the girl's brother's face are echoes of pure and sincere affection.
If you ignore the plot, the language of the film is indeed witty and interesting, and Renee has a comedy atmosphere. Although the performance is actually quite satisfactory, it is already quite serious, but it is like seeing Liang Jiahui for the first time in Lover and will inevitably think of the east and west. The hilarious look of the inside, as soon as I see Renee's iconic pursed lip smile, immediately makes the tragedy of encountering people a lot less tragic. . Also, at the end of the writing, and thinking back to the unreliable men in the film, I can smile knowingly.
