It must not be about Paris. That pink flower is not something I can describe with my clumsy pen. Besides, I don’t know anything about fashion. How can I live clearly for fashion, perfume, and bags from Paris.
Forget it, let's say the movie is a little better.
In fact, it is to continue the topic of British treasures. I also found Sir Anthony Hopkins' film "Surviving Picasso" (1996) and Emma Thompson's "Spring Sonata" (Impromptu, 1991). Picasso, an amorous and weird Spanish genius, was full of enthusiasm, countless women, and rich paintings; Chopin, a delicate and melancholy Polish genius, had a turbulent fate, but his music revealed his strength and boundless love for his motherland.
"Spring Sonata" mainly tells the story of Mrs. George Sand and Chopin. Hugh Grant plays the non-stop coughing and fragile Chopin scenes, but Emma plays the 250 countess, with exaggerated and messy curly hair and clothes. , The shrill tone of voice subverted her other character images, and she was even seduced by a painter in the play, which is very absurd. The movie itself is not a masterpiece. The director James Lapine is an American, and he has never heard of it. Because his wife wrote the script, he directed it; Judy Davis, who played George Sand, is said to be famous in Australia and has won numerous awards. But I haven't heard of it either. But a few of the British characters—except Emma, Hugh and Julian Sands, who played Liszt, all spoke English with accents, played musicians from Eastern Europe, and the American director's casting idea was amazing. Hugh no longer speaks the Oxford accent, and speaks English with his tongue flickering, which is more difficult to accept, and Julian too, the handsome and passionate George in "A Room with a View" also bites his tongue and drags Hungarian, so cruel. Moreover, the American design is: Mrs. Sang is a typical "mappy child", Chopin is a "sick child", Liszt is a "baby machine", and the painter Eugene is a "mocking hooligan". However, these people actually They are all artistic geniuses who settled in Paris in the early 19th century. Oh, it turns out that this movie is a witty comedy, no wonder it can't be taken seriously.
But one thing caught me off guard. Because the film involves a lot of works and performances by Chopin and his friend Liszt, two actors are required to have strong piano playing skills. Hugh and Julian would have been perfect at the piano if the movie hadn't used doubles. The music may not be played by the two of them, but the posture and gestures are by no means posing like some domestic actors. Hugh's piano foundation can be seen in "K-Song Lover", and it is also shown in "Morris's Lover", but every time the director does not give too many gestures, it is a little secretive, which makes me doubt his piano level. Julian's performance has a performance level, especially with golden shoulder-length hair, which is very star-like.
Talk about Madame Sang and Chopin. Mrs. Sang has always been in my mind, wearing pants, smoking a cigar, and an absolute man image. She has never read any of her works, and this sister is also a person with inexhaustible enthusiasm and energy. There are many works and countless lovers. Fragile and immature Chopin, like Mrs. Sang's prey. Just watching the movie, I can't understand how Chopin, who is 6 years younger than Madame San, fell in love with this rude, violent, hot woman and lived together for 9 years. The real situation Some netizens said that Mrs. Sang is actually a representative of noble and intellectual women, I don't know. During that time, there were many wonderful Chopin songs -- actually, I don't know which ones, but they were written by netizens. My favorite Chopin's Piano Concerto in E minor, written in 1830, before he was captured by Madame Sang. Anyway, anyway, this love history between Chopin and Mrs. Sang has become their deepest memory in the hearts of future generations. In fact, Chopin was in love, but because he was not a nobleman, he was rejected by the French lady's father; Mrs. Sang had married an earl, and her title was: Baron Duwande. Her original name was Aurora, which means Aurora.
Poor Chopin only lived to be 39 years old, and Mrs. Sang, who was full of passion, died at the age of 72, and she did not have a short life due to indiscriminate love, alcoholism and smoking. On the contrary, Chopin, who could not stand the wind and rain or see the dust, did not endure the age of confusion in the environment of cleanliness. I believe that his passion has been invested in the music, and the strength of the E minor symphony, especially the third movement, is unparalleled. Chopin, who coughs, is weak, and wears white gloves all day in the movie, doesn't pull the bar at all.
Another genius born in Paris was the Spanish painter Picasso. When I think of him, my mind must be a mess of paintings with dislocated faces, eyes on the stomach, and big breasts and buttocks. In fact, they are just the "Cubism" style of his many styles. In his long life journey of 92 years, Lao Bi has a fierce and unrestrained nature and advocates freedom and unrestrainedness. He has enough time and reason to taste all kinds of styles.
The film "Love Picasso" borrows the 10 years of Lao Bi's life with Francoise Gilot, and the memories of his wife, lover, and children, slowly showing Lao Bi's creative concept and attitude towards life. These women from different periods are the catalysts for Lao Bi's passion, and his inspirations continue to flow out.
The movie was actually directed by James Ivory, and the music was in the usual style of James movies, as was the camera. I don't know anything about Picasso, nor do I like it. As far as I can tell, this is a wild and ruthless man, the whole world is crazy about him, how can the women around him not be crazy, and there are so many suicides. He plundered everyone's admiration, admiration, and love, and wasted on his own pleasures and pleasures, leaving behind the residue of desire and carnival, making the women and children around him swallow the bitter fruit.
However, because Picasso was played by Sir Huo, in the British flavor that James was good at, the wild Picasso had the elegance and wit of an English gentleman, which actually made me a little in love with this old man. They said that Sir Huo acted very well, in appearance, expression, demeanor, and heart. Who can say no?
I like the British actress Natascha McElhone who plays Francoise very much. She is elegant, gentle, with a very French face and a very London accent. She also has a good performance in "The Truman Show" (The Truman Show, 1998). Julianne Moore actually speaks with an Eastern European accent and plays another mistress of Lao Bi - Yugoslav photographer Dora, with very little role. There is a scene where he meets Lao Bi at the age of 17. The dancer Marie Thérèse, his model, wants to drive away Dora, who is taking pictures of Lao Bi, from Lao Bi's studio. As a result, Lao Bi takes pictures without anyone else, but the two women are very happy. almost. James Ivory's British humour. Dora's fate is not good, and it is said that he is often beaten by Lao Bi until he loses consciousness. In 1943, when Old Bi saw Francoise in a small bar in Paris, he immediately left Dora beside him and rushed towards Francoise.
Lao Bi's wife and lover are all ballet dancers, models, painters, photographers, and sculptors. These self-proclaimed artists, with their slender and keen touch and feeling, can always provoke the nerves of genius. They are like moths fighting a fire, blooming brilliantly but quickly annihilating. Only Francoise voluntarily gave up on Bi after ten years of living with him. She recovered her life in Paris and won applause from Picasso.
Mrs. Sang and Picasso, who lingered in Paris, left unimaginable artistic treasures with their rich works and exquisite skills. Of course, they also stood out in the society at that time with their indulgent and uninhibited lifestyle, leaving incomparable amazement and controversy for later generations.
In 1996, Sir Huo was nearly 60 years old, and he interpreted Picasso in his 30s to 70s vividly. This is his most blooming age, his eyes and gestures are full of charm. And Hugh Grant in 1991, jerky and pale like a thin enamel body, too fragile to touch.
Sir Huo said in the interview program that he once sold three paintings for 500,000 pounds. It seems that the painting scenes in "Love Picasso" are by no means fake.
Comes with:
He loves to turn his friends into his slaves. - Francoise Gilot
This was my own personal homage to Picasso, for all he had given me, our children, our years together, for all I learned from being with him. Now at 74, he was starting a new life, with of course a new woman. But I was grateful to him for everything and most of all because he has made me strong, strong enough to do anything, even to survive ten years of living with him.
