The two well-known people met, achieved each other, and sublimated each other. Although this relationship only lasted a few years, the sparks that erupted have been burning to this day. "For Whom the Bell Tolls": "No one is an island, it is on its own; everyone is a small piece of the European continent, a part of the mainland; if a piece of mud is washed away by the waves, Europe will be a little smaller; if A strait, if your friend or your own manor is washed away, it is the same; the death of anyone makes me deficient, because I am inextricably linked to human beings. So don’t ask for whom the death knell sounds, the death knell Sing for you."
The rating of this film is not high, so it has not been opened after lying on the hard drive for several years. If you understand American literature, then Hemingway is a peak that you can't go around. No matter which direction you go, you can see him. He is a symbol of the American spirit. As a writer, he has become a "hero" enshrined by the United States. This is completely different from the feeling of being a useless scholar in China. His language is concise and powerful, his life is rich and varied, and his hobbies are diverse: cigar beauties fishing and hunting, he goes deep into the battlefield to speak for humans, he is sturdy and has a sonorous manner, he can pick up a gun when he puts down his pen, and the people around him are kindly Call him papa. Such a splendid and colorful character lives so recklessly that even death is his own choice instead of fate. But his book is my detour. I have never seen "The Old Man and the Sea", "Farewell to the Weapon" or any of his books, because I admire Hemingway too much and regard him as " "Hero" came to worship, thinking about which day and moment, after bathing in incense, and then praying. But even so, the encounter with him was repeated, and again. I saw him for the first time in "Midnight Paris", heard anecdotes about him in "Dawn Songs", and visited his former residence in "Love Before Memories Die". In the recent "Penguin History of Europe-A Journey to Hell", I talked about the Spanish Civil War, and I suddenly wanted to watch this movie.
I watched this movie under Hemingway's name, but after watching it, I remembered Gailhorn, a woman who is more manly than Hemingway. When two people meet, sparks are everywhere, and the people in the bar can't block the sparks generated by the two people. The moment Hemingway's second wife met Gailhorn, she knew the end immediately.
The story of two people is entirely a story of war and peace. Established feelings on the battlefield of the Spanish Civil War, but in a peaceful era between wars, there were many contradictions; spent the honeymoon on the battlefield of China, but gradually stepped into the road of breaking up when peace came. Two equally good people, two people with the same hobby, and two people with the same interest, so in harmony, yet so mutually exclusive. It was the war that made the marriage, but was disarmed and surrendered in the marriage.
The film tells a total of four wars. The most part is the Spanish Civil War, followed by the Russian invasion of Finland, the third is the Japanese invasion of China, and the fourth is the elderly Gailhorn carrying a backpack and leaving. The battlefield where comfortable houses continue to go. The depiction of the war scenes is not very profound, but the singing and dancing during the intermittent period of the war is compared, but it makes people feel like a world away. It is indeed such a two-tier sky with ice and fire, one side is the sky of war, and the other. It is the bar of Qinggemanwu. In this chaotic century, I only hope that it will become eternal history.
The film and the history itself are no longer said, and the person who feels the most is Gailhorn. Before watching the movie, her identity in my mind was Hemingway’s wife. After watching the movie, she became a person who surpassed Hemingway. As a weak woman, she accomplished things that many men couldn’t do, the most important point. , She lived to be ninety years old, and the film begins with her memories and ends with her departure to the battlefield. Who is the final winner? People who evaluate others behind you.
Hemingway is the tough guy in American hearts, but she is more manly than this tough guy. It is a pity that she has resisted the identity of "Hemingway's Footnote" all her life, but she has been exhausted by this identity all her life. Such a radiant woman has become the footnote of others, and the most famous identity has always been Hemingway's third wife. It can only be said that Hemingway's reputation is too great, covering the life of this colorful woman. But also as a woman, I like Martha Gelhorn's colorful life, such a chic and intoxicating life. Thanks to this movie for letting me know such a good woman, letting me know that this world does not need to be a male to be a hero, nor does it need to be a male to be proud.
Finally, let me summarize some life experiences of Martha Gelhorn as a supplement.
Born in 1908, died in 1998 at the age of 90. He has published 5 novels, 14 short stories, and two collections of short stories in his lifetime. It has to be said that the 90 years of Gailhorn's life is the most turbulent 90 years.
The Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936, and Gailhorn was on the scene.
In 1940 she arrived on the battlefield in China.
Normandy landing in 1944
Indonesia's War of Independence against the Netherlands in 1945
1948 Israeli War of Independence
Traveled to Saigon to report on the Vietnam War in 1966
In 1978, at the age of 70, he went to the battlefields of Nicaragua and El Salvador
In 1989, at the age of 81, he witnessed the American invasion of Barnum.
This is the legendary life of a woman, this is the life of a woman who could have lived a life in peace, but lived a life beyond the reach of millions of women and men. People who don't know her know that she is one of Hemingway's wives, and those who know her will understand that she is greater and braver than Hemingway.
Tribute to "the greatest war correspondent in the world"! She has completely blurred the distinction between genders and has become a great person.
PS. Nicole Kidman's performance didn't add much points, it was too glamorous and helpless. Porn scenes have no points and no extra points, although passionate.
