Hollywood-style script buried a lot of bright spots to be discovered

[Venice Film Festival Viewing] It is not so much a biopic of a French new wave actress, it is better to say that the creator uses the actress's fame and mysterious temperament to create a romantic, thrilling and mixed love story. Its inherent Hollywood characteristics make it difficult for the film to reach the deep meaning at every level, and it becomes a disappointing and out-of-tune B-movie. Originally, the director unearthed a little-known experience of Jane Qianbao, which was enough to give the theme a head start. And Kristen Stewart's style is even more eye-catching, as if it was the rebirth of Jane Sebo. The most unfortunate thing is that the Hollywood script has buried many bright spots in the film. Whether it is Jane's enthusiasm for the Black Panther Party and the Civil Rights Movement, or the sympathy of FBI agents for Jane, there is no time at all. Explain clearly. Especially the fictional character of the FBI agent, most of the plot follows and follows the heroine through his perspective, which makes the film gradually lose the atmosphere of horror and suspense, and inexplicably falls into a Hollywood-style romantic love routine. Once the plot turns to this part of the love line, the other part of the Black Panther Party will be eclipsed, and the retro atmosphere of the 1960s and 1970s that the art design has worked hard to create is wasted, and the operation of the entire narrative will suddenly relax. This intertwined script design of fiction and reality prevents the actress' psychological portrayal from being fully and accurately expressed, although Twilight's smooth interpretation in the film is addicting. However, it seems that only she knows Jane's true face and personality, which can be roughly guessed from her leisurely and entertaining way of acting, but in the eyes of the audience, she is still an ambiguous image: a loving mother, a husband A slutty woman who abandoned her, a backstage financier of the civil rights movement, or an innocent schizophrenic who was persecuted by political persecution?
