A reporter asked her that she always played a gentle and sweet female role, like Fangfang, like Anna, so did she have the confidence to play a spy and killer during World War II?
But in this film, we can all see Sophie's efforts and growth. She is 44 years old, and although her eyebrows are still beautiful, her wrinkles have crawled onto her cheeks. She let us look at her as she is, not resisting being eroded by the years. I watched with a heartache that her alluring face was stained with wind and frost, and it was really not a happy thing to watch a beauty grow old. But we all know that she will not do everything to keep skin that she can't keep like Big S or Xu Ruoxuan.
So we know that as an actor, the beautiful Sophie still has her own way to go.
At the beginning of the film are some historical photos, which should be the real look of the female agents. The enchanting little thrush, the angular uniform, even in the army, still retains the complex and charming style of the 1930s. In this era, we no longer see such women. We see more jewels and more beautifully designed costumes, but women’s eyes have a mechanical flavor, and they are no longer as soft as before.
Watching Zola's "Women's Paradise" recently, I also feel the true and cruel separation of our culture in the industrial age. Layer by layer, like a knife to peel off the chicken from the bone.
Seeing their youthful smiles beside the old-fashioned airplanes, I only feel deep sadness. They are so happy. Allow me to pay tribute to all the women who died in World War II. Especially after watching the movie, re-watching those black and white smiling faces, the pain is particularly deep.
Louise Desfontein, played by Sophie, is a powerful sniper. It is impossible to describe the shock of the moment when she finally killed Heinrich. The cold face, heroic eyebrows, and the slender figure with crisp and neat movements. She was a real angel when she was wrapped in the white nurse costume. It's so beautiful, just blame you for being so beautiful! Here Louise is the soul of a team, invincible.
The other roles are actually much more complicated. Like Jenny, the prostitute who once killed her pimp. When Jenny appeared on the stage as a criminal who was about to be hanged, under the dark sky, cold rain, her old clothes and black and white face under the black umbrella. She trembled slightly because of anxiety, but her words made people feel her calmness and senselessness. Jenny is very beautiful, with a special smell on her face, which makes all her expressions have different colors. Drinking, dancing, and even smiling at the officer, and finally the calmness of seeing death as home. The role of Jenny has some turning points in the movie. From a snob who only wants to take money away, she turns into the best spy. Her little rudeness and debauchery in the early stage, and her ability and cruelty in the later stage are so distinct on her angular face. And when she did striptease with Susie, Susie was more like a good woman than she was, with more delicacy and exquisiteness on her body, and Jenny had a silly air and dusty air, dancing and shaking with her cautious high heels. .
Jenny went to France with Louise for freedom, but she stayed in the Nazi concentration camp forever and lost the freedom she wanted. In order to cover Louise at the last minute, Jenny shot and killed a German soldier who was kissing. With the vibration of the gunshot, her expression was actually harder than the metal gun body. And Jenny was also a spy who persisted till the end. I like this Jenny, I like this innocent and determined girl.
Jiailai’s prototype is said to be a talented bomb expert who emerged from the age of 18. He was only 21 years old when he was sent to France to perform this deadly mission. Jiayilai in the film is also young, blond, with a beautiful white face, and a uniform can't stop the charm of youth. She happily said in the bar: "It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to bomb people. It's really a shame."
So she had the opportunity to bomb people in France. Jiailai is a devout Christian, and her faith has not been changed even when her family passed away. However, she fell into the hands of the Nazis so unfortunately. Jiailai, who was still an innocent girl, was frightened and hurriedly told Heinrich where Louise and others would wait for the rendezvous.
This must be a cruel torture to her, because when the two agents escorted her to the train station, she screamed irresponsibly: "Louis! That's a trap, run away!" I heard such a simple line. very sad.
For her, for Christianity, I don't know what kind of crime this is. Jiailai finally asked Louise to give her poison and killed herself in the sun-drenched cell. A hydrated flower withered early.
People can't escape themselves, and in the end, the most difficult thing for people to face is themselves. How many vicissitudes of life insight are also perplexed by this, let alone the young Jiailai who has never experienced torture? If I were Jiailai’s companion, I wouldn’t blame her either, I would only be deeply distressed, and it’s not the destruction of the mission that distressed.
Susie is the most cowardly girl among the female spies. In Louise's words, "She dare not kill a fly." Like to eat French pastries, she used to be known as "Lillian" and was engaged to Nazi officer Heinrich. She trembled when she heard the gunshots, and screamed in spite of danger when she found blood... But beneath this surface is a self and noble heart. She thought that Britain was going to send her to seduce Heinrich, so she frantically raised the tablecloth: "Let me sleep with him? Humph, put my body in front of him! This is my shroud. !" She reiterated with tears: "I am in love with a German, not a Nazi." She even had a child with Heinrich, and she gave him to others so that the child could grow up innocently.
Heinrich has not forgotten her, still looking for her shadow among women. There is a very impressive scene. His adjutant finds a beauty in Fengyuechang and takes her to Heinrich. Heinrich walked to the bar and looked at the back of Lilian, whose skin was as white as snow, and the squiggly twists and turns looked like Lilian's back, with a smile on his face. But when she turned around completely, his smile was dull, and instead he nodded politely, and then left. What was left was a strange girl who was at a loss.
This detail is not difficult to explain, he is obsessed with Susie. The eyes can see the clear and affectionate once. When they met he carefully kissed her beautiful shoulder. However, a kiss from Heinrich made Susie's gun hand soft, but Susie couldn't make Heinrich's heart soft, and he still killed her decisively.
Seeing Susie being carried out, I can only say that a woman is a woman and a man is a man. I also like Susie, this beautiful girl who is sensitive, timid, willful and reckless.
A movie worth watching, especially when you see Louise and the nurses sitting next to the radio, ecstatically listening to the news of the German surrender, you will surely cry over the dead war and the soldiers. .
