Today we will talk about the movie "Let them talk".
The title is Let Them All Talk (2020), and the alias speaks freely.
This is a film that emphasizes both expression and content.
The story told by the film is very simple. The shooting process and the performance of the actors are the most noteworthy places.
"Let them talk" revolves around an old woman and old friends and relatives associated with her.
Aunt May Meryl Streep (Meryl Streep) plays a serious literary writer. She was invited to the other side of the ocean to participate in a literary awards ceremony. She was not fit to fly, so the publisher invited her to take a cruise, and generously agreed that Aunt Mei could take a few companions.
Aunt May invited two old friends, Dianne Wiest and Candice Bergen, and brought her nephew Lucas Hedges to cross the Atlantic. That’s how the cruise journey began.
Aunt Mei and two old friends were good friends who talked about everything when they were young. A few years later, Aunt Mei had a successful career and gained a lot. However, the two friends failed to achieve similar results and have been engaged in lower-level lives.
The gap in life gradually turned into dissatisfaction, and this dissatisfaction gradually turned into dissatisfaction with Aunt Mei under jealousy and narcissism.
In addition, the relationship between Aunt Mei’s nephew and Aunt Mei’s bookseller assistant Jiama Chen became close.
Aunt Mei also knows the thoughts of her old friends, and invites them to take a cruise together to ease the relationship.
In Aunt Mei’s view, since I have invited you to take this cruise that you cannot afford, it means that I have lowered my attitude towards you, and you should be familiar with each other.
In the eyes of old friends, the invitation to take a cruise is just a manifestation of your guilt for so many years. It should be done, but it is not enough. What I need to hear is an apology and financial compensation.
If both sides want to reconcile but are both very arrogant, things will become very strange.
The three old ladies will often mention their alma mater in the dialogue.
Although the name of the school was not disclosed, Candice Bergen wore the "Longhorn Bull" T-shirt many times, and it can be guessed that this university is the University of Texas.
